I've been hoping for a deal on the Beats Solo2's, haven't seen a good one yet.
$899 for that iMac is a good price. Same with the Mini 2 prices.
$225 for a Mini 2 is a damn good deal.
There really is no excuse for anybody to buy any of those cheapo,, malware infested and dangerous, inferior Android tablets, especially when there are such killer deals and cheap prices on great Apple hardware.
Really good pricing IMO. Been waiting for something like this, but they didn't do the same discounts in Canada! Measly $15-$20 off here...
Don't forget, a Mini 2 is $249 refurbished from Apple if you can't take advantage of this deal. Refurbished from Apple might as well be new.
Boycott Best Buy. They are opening at 5PM on Thanksgiving, making their employees work instead of being with family. Stand up for family over saving a few dollars on things you don't really need.
I bet Apple is silently working deals with the vendors. Order X amount of X product and receive X discount or "rebate" wink, wink.

While I'm not necessarily endorsing the opening of the store, did you consider the fact that many of their employees may appreciate the opportunity to make some extra money? Last I saw, Best Buy largely employed younger 20-somethings anyway, not sixty year old grandmas.

Best Buy isn't making their employees do anything. If they don't like that the company is open on Thanksgiving, they're free to quit anytime they want.

They're getting paid, are they not?
Certain lines of work do indeed work on Holidays, that's how things are. Many years ago, I had a job where I was even working on New Years Eve. I didn't mind, since I got paid extra, and I knew what I was getting into.
If they don't like it, they can quit and choose a different line of work.
Not everybody can have off on holidays. What about Police, Firemen, Paramedics? The whole country does not get to have off on holidays. Some people have to work the graveyard shift too.
Having off on holidays is not a human right. Holidays are the busiest time of the year for retailers. It's common sense that employees should work during those times.
I side with retailers and corporations against individuals and families.

I worked at a movie theatre. We never closed. Not even Christmas Day, on which I worked. Not the end of the world
B&H Photo has the 5K iMac for $2299 with free shipping and no tax. That's $500 savings.

Making them work? I don't think so. When I was in college, I always wanted to work on holidays because the pay was double time. It was also a great excuse to get away from your annoying family.
Let's shut down the police, hospitals, public transit, the airlines and make everyone kiss their grandma and stuff themself with sugar and cholesterol at Thanksgiving instead of earning overtime pay and maybe sending a nice greeting card or txt message instead.
Pretty good discounts, but already picked up an Air 2 (had a $90 Apple gift card) and not in the market for any of these.

Not really sure if this is a joke post or not, but if not...that's a pretty mind-numbingly moronic statement.
Do these have malware preinstalled, too?
Yes, if you consider Google search configured by default as malware.
