Nice Apple deals...

Best Buy has a pack of 3 $10 iTunes gift cards for $25. That's a 16% discount off face value:

BB iTunes

Sold out online so you'll have to do store pickup or walk in and find them on the gift card shelf.

On a related note, Apple's US Online Store has initiated a price drop on refurb 2.4GHz Unibody Macbooks to $1299 from the original price of $1399:

Refurb 2.4GHz unibody MB

This is a new price I believe, as in the weeks before this the 2.4GHz UMB's were set at $1399, $100 less than education discount.

That is definitely a great deal on the refurb.

I was so ready to do that @ $1299 about two weeks ago, but couldn't get myself to pull the trigger. The kicker for me is I have no physical address, PO Box only. Well, I have one, but FedEx won't deliver to it and..not knowing what Apple would use, I was hesitant.

So, I bought faenix's used MacBook 2.4 Unibody last week instead. $1350 instead of $1299, and I gave a bit more to cover the expenses of using my credit card (my choice, not his request), but he opted to pay the extra shipping & cost of insurance to cover it to me. (live in Alaska now..)

...but had I been in the continental US, with a real address to deliver to, I'd have jumped on the $1299 with free shipping deal. =)

Btw, this is my first mac on the way.

Congrats on the Mac!

I was ready to pull the trigger on the Macbook but I think I am going to wait until a refresh to make sure all the kinks on the design gets sorted out.

Trying to convince myself to pull the trigger on a 17" refurb. They have the HD screens for $1799, but its the older model and I'd really like a unibody.
