Nope. Nobody is going to price match on Black Friday, Cyber Monday or Boxing Day/week.

Just hope FS has a deal like this soon. I have a $100 FS card I want to use on a tablet this year.

Retna is definitely a much better / sharper image.

That said for a $150 savings, the iPad Mini 1st generation is A-OK for most people. It's not like it has a bad screen.

With taxes it is an almost $200 price difference

The new retina is faster in games and stuff but to browse the web, youtube etc there is no difference.
Again that is for me, others might notice a huge difference between retina and none retina displays on an 8" tablet, I couldn't really tell the difference.
Unless you're staring @ wallpaper or just a background image (no motion + low res), i suggest you get your eyes checked. There is a huge difference between the 1st and 2nd gen screens. Its almost like saying an Acer B210 looks just like a Nexus 10.

I was looking at some youtube vids.
I'll take your word for it that there is a huge difference.
Still isn't worth almost $200 more for me.

Probably not, don't remember when the $25 off 75 expires.

If you don't know the IPAD mini uses the IPAD 2 Chip as its processor (to my knowledge) The unit works great. BUT it does get very hot - we have burned out 2 units from the processor over heating. Not joking - why - the case that pick has to be thin (not too thick) to allow the unit to cool. We had to toss away a $50 case..... so far its working perfectly. As for pricing - we paid for 32GB as FS $505 with taxes about a year ago...... this seems like a decent price.
