Apple iTunes and Apple Store (PowerMac Price) Glitches? [Updated]
In addition, several users noted a surprising pricing discrepancy at the online Apple Store.
The rotating PowerMac G5 promotional graphic at the Apple Store appears to display Educational pricing for the PowerMacs reflecting significant discounts from retail prices. These numbers however are not reflected in the actual ordering system and appears to represent a simple mistake... the graphic (now corrected. copy of image) is essentially the same as the educational store image.
While some are speculating that this may hint at future discounts, there is little evidence to suggest this. Readers are reminded, however, that Apple is planning a November 28th instore event with discounts on iPods and music related items at a minimum.
Update: Pricing corrected at Apple's site.

Edit: Upon a second look, the Dual 2.0 is still a lower price in that graphic than it should be with the Superdrive subtracted.

Clicking on browse has me select a genre first. I selected "Rock." The second panel has me select genre again!
That's when I gave up.

Clicking on No Doubt takes me to Blink-182.
Browse seems to work properly for me, though.

I tried again a minute ago and it still brought me to Blink-182. I then closed iTunes and went straight to "New Releases" again. Now, clicking on No Doubt now brings me to No Doubt, as it should.
Does this mean that you need to close iTunes in order for changes on Apple's server to be noticed by iTunes? (maybe some sort of caching?)
although a price cut that big across the board would be nice...
just think about the educational prices after the cut!

yeah that would be marvelous. I might consider getting a G5 if the prices are cut. It would be great to use the even lower edu discount. that would allow a duelie 2.0Ghz to be ~$2399!! Not bad, not bad at all.
Edit: fixed some syntax
