Here's the thread for the one last year: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055191402

Apple and bargain don't fit in the same sentence. They will rob you a little less for the day I suppose..........

As an avid Apple buyer...

LEAVE APPLE ALONE!

But you're right to be honest!

You can put anything in the Company Name field (I tried "Nonsense Company"), and you'll see the same discount on the store.

Apple "reserves the right to verify the eligibility of participants", but a few years ago when I was in college I ordered through the Education store, which said the same thing, and they never looked for proof of the college I was in.

Sale will be crap.

Anyone looking to buy an iPod Touch, check out Dabs.ie. About 45 quid cheaper there than on the Apple site.

You'd get 3-400 euro off a macbook if you fly to the UK to an airport that has a Dixons 'tax free' (no matter where you're flying to).

€208 for a 120 gb Classic ain't half bad. Still, disappointing overall.

well comparing in this current climate when the rest of the shops are cutting about from 15% upto 40%.

apple is just "all the hype and no substance" type of sale.

I was aiming for apple ipod but given the amount of the discount I am not going to buy.If the times were good I would have bought.

For these recession times their prices still look very steep considering its a sale :eek:.
