With the purchase of one of Apple's new iPads, announced yesterday, Best Buy is offering a free $25 Best Buy gift card that can be used towards future Best Buy purchases.
The $25 gift card is a small amount, but it's the best sale we've seen on the as-of-yet unreleased iPad, effectively dropping the price of the entry-level tablet to $305.

Apple/Best buy are begging people to buy these. I feel like it's actually a step back though, the laminated display on the air 2 was a massive step forward, especially after the awful screen on the air. If the screen on this is comparable to that I'd rather buy a used/clearance air 2.
