Amazon Offers Discounted Mac OS X 10.2

Posted by pudge on from the get-the-point-ha-ha-you-funny dept.

WCityMike writes "Apple's decision to offer no upgrade fee to existing Mac OS X users caused a great deal of unrest amidst Macintosh users, but Amazon may have made the argument a bit moot by offering a $50 mail-in rebate, thus bringing the price down to $79 for all users. Check out their listing for 10.2, or the mail-in rebate form. I wonder if, when Apple notices all its orders are coming in through Amazon, they'll get the point?"

    If you use the current Amazon $5-off coupon, the net price comes down to $74. The promotion code is CHNKBKAMZNLT.

    Apple may not, but Amazon probably will. Taking a closer look at the buying info for Jaguar at Amazon (note that the original post links only to the rebate page). It's currently ranked as the #1 top seller (in software).
