Apple to offer "Black Friday" sale in the UK

Comments

• Anyone have any ideas whether there will be any significant discounts on Ipod touches (1st gen)? Im not holding mu breath as there is a big demand for them at the moment.
  
  The argos deal showed that quite clearly... Posted by Zabir, UK
• @ Zabir - you can't buy 1st gen touch's from apple now, only 2nd gen. If they would have had old stock they will normally push it through other channels for reselling. Posted by Robert, US
• WoHooo, a whole £7, gosh I love Gordon Brown Posted by nick, UK
• Does the black friday discount have any affect on refurbished goods? I'm new to this black friday stuff :S Posted by Zabir, UK
• How much did apple discount stuff in the us last year? is it not like, a fiver off or something? Posted by jane-jack, uk
• Mebbe, just mebbe this will be the start of something beautiful with Brit shops getting in on the Good Friday stuff. Posted by Robbo, ----
• robbo, dont hold your breath!
  
  And another thing, the reason why the US is cheaper when you look at conversion rates is that in the States, the prices do not include tax, it gets added on after Posted by Matt, UK
• Wrong!
  
  an item costing 289.00 would fall in price by 6.15 (not 7.22)
  
  289.00 * 1/1.175 * 1.15 = 282.85
  
  In other words, the effect is even less than your article (and ones published in the Metro) would have us believe. Plus, I wonder how many retailers are actually going to pass on that saving to the customer. Posted by GCSE Maths Student, UK
• I doubt that a fiver here or there will make me part with my money, especially when we will get that in 3 days time.
  5-10% is nothing on small items, slightly better on the main products but I doubt we will see that.

• NOTHING, compared to what it should be, IMHO. £40 from £800 wouldn't exactly MAKE me want to purchase it now! If you want something, you'll get it, and %2 more, or 2 percent less wouldn't make any difference! Disappointing, imho. Posted by Andrei, R.F.
