Apple plans 'Black Friday' sales special
Apple has announced a special sales event planned for this Friday, November 23rd. Marketed under the slogan "Ready. Set. Shop," the event's splash page at the online Apple Store encourages visitors to return the day after Thanksgiving, when they may find a number of products discounted, such as Macs and iPods. The site will also be offering free shipping, though shoppers will be able to skip that step by visiting a retail store, where similar sales will be in effect. Extended hours will be in place as well, though these will vary from location to location.
Goods likely to be discounted are those featured in Apple's Holiday Gift Guide, which was recently published online. Aside from flagship products previously mentioned, the guide promotes a host of items such as games and iPod accessories. During 2006's sale, Apple dropped the prices of some products by as little as $6 (for a Sony cassette adapter) or as much as $101 (iMacs and MacBooks).

I mean, come on, who wants to wade through a huge crowd at the mall to wade through the stupidly designed Apple stores ("OK, I got my item, now, how the hell does one check out?") to save $50 on a macbook?
Best Buy has an HP (Celeron) laptop with printer package for $299 and an emaching for $199. Sure it's a good price but the product is crap. Apple doesn't make crap so don't expect a $300 computer!
Testudo, what do you need to make you happy, 12 exits with registers at each? Give me a break. Tell me what retail store does satisfy your needs—or anything else for that matter!
It would be nice if Apple would take $100 off some iPods and accessories. Blow something out the door Apple! Who knows—keep an eye on it and see what happens.
