3-Way Price War On Black Friday: iPad, Nook, and Kindle

Posted by timothy on from the bunch-of-exploiters dept.

destinyland writes "Black Friday has touched off a three-way price war between Apple, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble. Kobo readers dropped their price to just $99 to compete with the Nook, only to discover that Barnes and Noble was lowering the price on their touchscreen Nooks to $79, to compete with the new $79 Kindle from Amazon. And meanwhile, Apple has announced aggressive pricing on all Apple products for Black Friday, reportedly including $100 off on MacBook and iMac products, and a $61 discount on the iPad 2."

    People who participate in Black Friday are pathetic. Only in America are people willing to be herded like cattle, trampling and fighting each other over a fucking TV. Camping out in front of stores days in advance just to buy low-priced crap made in China is like begging to suck the cock of a person who steals your money and beats the shit out of you.

    Pay the extra pennies and have some fucking dignity. If you're that hard-up to suck Chinese or Korean cock, then go move there and suck to your heart's content. The living expenses are real cheap over there, too.
