Bought DD one in 2009 at Best Buy, same price as Apple Store, but Best Buy threw in a free iPod and extended warranty.
Replaced it in 2014, no specials at Best Buy so ended up buying it at the Apple Store.
Sometimes College Bookstores have special education deals.
I agree. A lot of Universities just had their commencements last week. Specials aren't out yet.If you can wait about a month, usually Apple runs "back to school" specials starting mid to end of July. Sometimes it's dollar value off a Macbook, sometimes it's iTunes or Apple gift cards thrown in for free.
