B.Greenway, your withdrawn suggestions of frugality can be reinstated: Apple to honor price difference on Mac Mini BTO price drops.

Keep in mind if you want to change an existing order as I did earlier today to include an upgrade based on price, you’ll be placed at the end of the line… again.

Great… Too bad they didn’t make the super-drive Dual-Layer… ;(

Yep, just got an email from Apple saying they would refund my credit card to honour the new pricing.
And due for shipment on or before 28th Jan. Woot!

I was very pleased to get an email confirming the reduction in my price…I had added it all!

Has anyone tried calling apple to see if your recently placed BTO mini will get the superdrive upgrade and if you get a credit back? I placed my order through a local reseller so I can’t track…

Actually, Apple already have a plan in place for just such a situation. When one buys an Apple system, there is a window to the next OS upgrade into which the mini may fall.

There’s one more upgrade to wait on before rushing out to buy that mini: the OS. With the next OS release supposedly imminent, might as well wait until it’s included with the mini rather than having to pay another $130 to get it (of course, they could be sports and provide the upgrade for free for mini purchasers since they know everyone bought their minis recently).
