    That's an awesome deal!! With PaPal, you get an extra 10% off, plus with Microsoft's Live cashback (I'm not sure what percent it if off right now), you can get up to $200 more off. That's an awesome deal.

    Yeah, sorry about the lack of details. At the Amazon official store, you can use cashback. I bought a mouse from amazon, and used the cashback option. You go to live dot com, then hit the cashback subtitle in the top right hand of the screen, then you enter what you are searching for. Then it will show you the related products, and it will give you a link to stores that have the cashback program in place. You then put whatever you are buying into your basket, and the cashback option will be shown at the checkout. You then saved however much the percent off is advertised for the cashback.

    They must have removed it :confused: . Last month, I got a Revolution mouse for $70, when the cashback was 20%

    whaaa..?

    unless you are a student or teacher or work for a fairly large corporate company, that is likely one of the best deals you will get.

    I would recommend getting the machine from an Apple store it possible, even if you must pay the added price, if you are close to one. The overall experience is usually excellent and you can ask any questions about swtiching or whatever you need to know and they are likely glad to answer them.
