erm.. ok
Why would Apple extend early registration?
(1) Registrations be low expectation
(2) ???
I knew it would only be a matter of nanoseonds before someone would try to read something negative into why they are extending the early registration. Its always a friggin conspiracy! Apple is hiding something.
Guess what! iPods = Soylent Green! Chew on THAT!
macromancer –
No conspiracy…it’s economics. You don’t lower the price on something that you are running out of. There are a limited number of tickets available. What is an alternative _positive_ reason for Apple to lower these prices? (I don’t know that “being nice” would fly with share holders so try to think of something reasonable).
Get a grip, kids. It’s the Fourth of July holiday (4 friggin’ days – Yahoo!!!). They have to extend it. And dock the pay of whoever planned the original schedule.
They have done this for at least the last three years. Yes, perhaps people leave it until as late as possible before booking. Human nature.
