Here's another underwhelming (and over-hyped) announcement for you.

Here in New Zealand, the PB Tech company, one of the Apple Authroised 
Resellers, sent out an email yesterday saying:

    "Looking for amazing Apple products at unbeatable prices?
     It’s time for the Apple Deal Weekend at PB Tech!

     Don't miss out on this amazing deal – shop now and save!"

but when you go to their website you find the so-called "amazing" 
"savings" are actually incredibly pitiful. You get a measley NZ$20 off 
a NZ$2000 iPhone, or NZ$50 off a NZ$4000 MacBook Pro, or NZ$9 off a 
NZ$400 iPad.   :-\
(For comparison, a branded 500g block of butter costs nearly NZ$10.)
