Why no Black Friday Apple sales worldwide? It's not as if the rest of us remain unaffected by worldwide recessions! The Tokyo Nikkei dropped more than the Dow on that day but Apple Japan has no BF sale.

Maybe it's because holidays tend to be country-specific?
Do any other countries have anything like Black Friday? Has Apple ever had a sale like this in other countries? It's pathetic, but a sale is a sale.
And your local Best Buy, those set up to resell Apple Computers, have significant discounts on all their Apple Computers.
This is the case through today, at least.
Just picked the 21.5In 3.06GHz model for $1399.00,
PLUS 18 months free interest on their Best Buy Card.
Pay for that baby in 17 equal payments of $88.05
Now THAT's A DEAL!!
better do that payoff early or you'll get hit with a friggin busload of charges that'll smack your daddy into the year 2100. OMG worst APR ever:
Program A: Variable Standard APR: 24.24% as of 11/01/2009. Variable Default APR: 29.24% as of 11/01/2009. Program B: Variable Standard APR: 27.99% as of 11/01/2009. Variable Default APR: 29.99% as of 11/01/2009.
Yeah Microcenter has had the new Macbook for $800+tax AR for 2 or 3 weeks now. Continues until Dec 2.
They list until 12/06. There is a catch. It?s $999 up front with a mail-in rebate. On top of that, the rebate is a $200 MicroCenter prepaid Visa Card. it looks like you can use it anywhere Visa is accepted but you can?t get cash from ATMs. After the first 6 months of issuance there is a $3/month deduction on the card and it?ll take 2 to 2.5 months (February 2010) before you receive it. Of course, this assumes you actually sent in everything properly, they filled it properly and nothing got lost in the mail since you send in the original proof of purchase. Personally, I?d rather just pay the extra $50 and be free and clear without any hassle.

It's not labelled as 'Black Friday' or anything, but Apple sent me an email telling me that the UK store would have discounts on Friday.
Not having any Thanksgiving, we just have a long slog between summer and Christmas, with no respite or sales. I suppose Haloween is getting more popular these days, and there's always bonfire night (5th Nov, where we celebrate someone not blowing up Parliament -- it would be the other way around these days!).
The big sales in the UK start after Christmas. I think they even have them on Boxing Day -- but that's mostly attended by Chavs who get bored of drinking lager and watching television 24x7!

They dropped the price, then increase back. Are they trying to give the best discount or try to maximize their profit.
