Get ready for “Mac Friday”

Everybody loves a good rumor, especially when it comes to one of the largest computer manufacturers in the world.  And even moreso when it pertains to their prices and the possibility of massive discounts for one day only.  So, is your interest peaked yet?   Then hit the jump and find out more.

AppleInsider is all over the rumors that Apple is contemplating huge discounts for the upcoming Black Friday shopping spree.  There have already been confirmed price cuts overseas, as the price of the 8GB iPhone 3G has dropped from 149 Euros down to only 99.

Apple has a history of running Black Friday sales, as do many of the biggest computer manufacturers like Dell & HPCompaq, both of which have leaked some type of Black Friday special already (personally, I rely on sites like GottaDeal.com to find Black Friday specials, though I refuse to stand in line for six hour in New England cold just to save a couple bucks on gifts).  In the past, they’ve offered deals like $100 off select G5 desktop systems, or $101 off MacBooks.

This year, with the state of the US economy and with the huge discounts being offered by other manufacturers and retailers like WalMart & Best Buy, speculation is running rampant that Apple might offer some type of discount that falls in line with others.  Could that mean a 30 or 40% off special on the last generation of MacBooks?  Maybe a combined deal with AT&T on iPhones and 1 or 2-year service contracts?

See, aren’t rumors fun?  Anything’s possible, until it’s actually announced.
