Rhelyn Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Ok, so in Chicago at least, Target will price match B & M stores. Our local Micro Center has the Ipad 3 (yanno, the one with the retina display) for $399. That is $100 less than Target's current price of $499. Also, this week, Target is offering a $50 gift card for any Ipad purchase so, depending on how nice your local Target manager is, you can possibly get this gift card as well as the price match. If that worked out, that would give you the Ipad 3 for $445 (if you consider the gift card bonus). It worked for me on Sunday. Also, they price match the Ipad 2. Microcenter has that for $359 while Target's price is $399. Here's the link. Hope this helps someone still looking for an Ipad deal. http://microcenter.com/ Good luck!
noehlp Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Since this is a price matching deal for in-store use, moving this to the Offline Deals forum.
purplepenguin Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Is the one Target has on sale for $499 3rd or 4th generation ipad?
Rhelyn Posted December 10, 2012 Author Posted December 10, 2012 Is the one Target has on sale for $499 3rd or 4th generation ipad?They are calling it an Ipad 3 with retina display, 1080 dual camera, faster processor (than the Ipad 2) and......(gasp!) SURI!!! (I didn't know there was a 4th generation Ipad. Apple doesn't reference it on its site.)
purplepenguin Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 This is from eBay: Brand New Apple iPad 4th Gen w/ Retina Display 16GB, Wi-Fi - Black MD510LL/A same model number as the one at Target
freesia39 Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 The 4th Generation iPad was released On 11/2. You'll have to be very careful if trying to pull off this deal, because the iPad3 is technically obsolete and Target may no longer have it in stock.
purplepenguin Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks! I will just do the one at Target.

You'll have to be very careful if trying to pull off this deal, because the iPad3 is technically obsolete and Target may no longer have it in stock.I disagree. While it is not the absolute latest Ipad, it is still more recent than the Ipad 2 that people are still clamoring for.............and retailers are STILL charging $399 for. They are STILL at Target..............trust me. I picked one up yesterday.

Apple sets the prices, not retailers.
bpr Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Some Best Buys have the iPad 3 for $449 for either the 16GB or 32GB. My local stores only had the 16GB version . Best BuyDo a search and check to see if your store has any of them in-stock (B&M only).
Rhelyn Posted December 11, 2012 Author Posted December 11, 2012 I said technically obsolete as I believe Apple is no longer producing that version of the iPad. Apple sets the prices, not retailers.I did not know APPLE set the prices. They just get us coming and going, don't they? Well, help me make a decision.................I'd ordered a refurbished Ipad 2 before I found this deal and it finally came today. So now, I'm faced with which one to keep -- the Ipad 2 or 3. Both are 16GB, wifi only, and I am not married to any technology enough to use a bulky pad as a phone device. The difference in price is about $100 but also I am comparing an Apple refurbished Ipad 2 with a store bought Ipad 3. Which one should I keep and why?
angelic680 Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 I got the Apple ipad 2 last night @ target priced matched with the $50 gift card!!! Thanks so much for the deal! As fast as technology changes they are all out of date if you ask me..... I care more about my wallett!

Which one should I keep and why?I have the iPad 3, I mean I like it for what I do with it, which is read books and magazines, surf the web occasionally. I don't do anything intensive with it AT all. It is a supplement to my computer, not a replacement. I mean the iPad2 is fine, I like the display better on the iPad3.
Rhelyn Posted December 11, 2012 Author Posted December 11, 2012 I got the Apple ipad 2 last night @ target priced matched with the $50 gift card!!!!CONGRATS, Angelic!!!
debbha Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 If I were debating...I think I'd keep the ipad 3...but have you looked on the apple site for a refurbished one? I believe a 16GB refurb is about $379. Even sweeter deal! (3rd generation on the refurb). I am pretty content with my refurbished one for $319 in the spring.
bpr Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Wow! My DS just went to Target and PMed BB. He got an iPad 3 w/ 32GB for $449(reg $599) + they handed him a $50 GC(didn't expect that)! I would have like the newer iPad, but for the price and 32GBs; I ain't complaining.
scope Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Did any of you have to take the paper in showing the add for price matching?
