Apple's Black Friday Sales Begin Around the World
Apple's Black Friday sales have begun around the world in their New Zealand store and Australia stores. The sales show modest discounts similar to previous years.
The only Macs that are on sale include the iMac and the MacBook. When translated to U.S. dollars, the discounts appear to be about $100 for mid-to-high end MacBooks and iMacs and about $50 for the entry level models. These discounts are consistent with last year's Black Friday sale and also consistent with whispers we've heard. If it holds true for U.S. pricing, it also dashes unfounded analyst predictions that Apple would offer 15% discounts.
Apple is also providing discounts on the iPod nano, iPod classic and iPod touch as well as discounts on a number of accessories.
We previously detailed sales at online retailers on Macs, and will post an update with more Black Friday deals tonight.
Update: Final Black Friday sales have been posted with deals from retailers up to $300 off the MacBook Pro.

seriously, these analysts bug me.
"Apple's stocking up on Macs, so we think they are going to discount more than usual... um, let's say 15%". An out of nowhere guess, which is (apparently) wrong.

Why do the analysts make all these crazy predictions? What rewards do they receive? What they really need is a little more punishment and embarrassment when they make a false prediction so they aren't just throwing numbers out there anymore...
These deals are not good enough to get me to buy this generation of iMac's. I will be waiting for the next generation and hopefully the Nvidia chipsets.

I hope so, I asked an Apple Genius and she said yes, but other people are telling me that she was misinformed and that in the past they was not able to stack the discounts. So, I don't really know, but I hope so, that would bring the price of a 2.8Ghz iMac down to below £1000 :eek:

I didn't think they would offer discounts any different than last year or the year before. Apple is pretty content on their current business model and whatever state the economy is in, is not effecting their business.

You still wouldn't be under £1000. The discount is going to be less than £70.
