Fry's does this all the time. Puts an insanely low price in an ad and then calls it a misprint. So often, that I'm convinced it's not by accident. Deceptive and dirty if you ask me.
I would have fought for them to uphold the price. I'm usually the first person to laugh when people try to take advantage of a store's obvious misprint... but this one is just... really... really... really misprinted. Like... with other ads that are misprinted, my first thought is, "Yeah, that can't be real"... but since I know Fry's does have some crazy ass sales sometimes, plus the ad is clearly showing and talking about an imac, and the price isn't too crazy (like $7 instead of $700), I was a believer until I read the comments here.Cliff notes: If I had driven to a Fry's for one of these... I'd be leaving with one of these or I'd be on the phone with the department of weights and measures or whatever handles bait-n-switch stuff.

Nope it's apple. You should have known better. All their comps cost hella money.

Or would it have 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth, a webcam, Firewire 800, and a dual layer DVD burner built in? Hell no.
