Newest Generation Apple TV A5X chip http://www.staples.com/apple+tv/d..._apple+tv?




1. Add fillers such as erasers, pencils, rubber bands or paper clips to make above $100. http://www.staples.com/paper+clip...=1&sr=true

2. Apply coupon code 62355

Cost : $85 + tax



YMMV on Possible additional discount



Ordered from the Kiosk, which is the same as ordering from staples.com except when you check out, you select pay in store. It will then print a copy of the cashier instructions that you hand the cashier when checking out. Hand them the 30% office depot coupon and they will take $30 off then tell them your staples check in coupon code from your mobile phone. So now the math
$99 - $30 - $10 = $60 + tax.

Good find

Paperclip $1.29 filler.

Nice find OP.

Good find OP. The apple accessories are new to staples.com, usually apple products are excluded on coupons.

This is a great deal! Thanks!

When I heard that Staples was poised to start selling Apple gear, I knew something like this would pop up. I've been looking for another ATV, but doesn't staples sometimes do 20% off?

Dont count on it, I think staples will exclude all apple products on upcoming coupons.

THIS is a more palatable filler.

can I return any online purchased item in store?

BTW, I got an option to buy an ATV2 for $90 (not new), can I go for AT2? Pl advice

ATV2 for $90? where? I believe ATV3 cannot be jb yet. so ATV2 at that price is awesome ! if you don't wanna share here please PM me where to find ATV2 at that price.

I have 2 Apple TVs and an older ROKU. I am all Apple with 2 computers, 3 Iphones, 2 Ipads, one IPOD Touch. Buy the ROKU. It gives you a lot more. Free Amazon movies for prime members. Free movies for everyone on other free channels. The Apple TV is nice, but they want your dollars, and don't give you free movie channels. Takes away from Itunes profit.

Coupon terms
 

On the base station, I added the 1.29 filler to bring my pre coupon purchase to $ 100 plus. Rejected. Need to spend $ 115 to use the $15 COUPON.

I want to know the same thing as mrm16. Even on CL, $90 for atv2 is a very good price. I got mine a couple of months ago for $50, the seller was clueless about what he was selling, told me he was selling an atv1 for $50, showed up with an atv2 (box+acc.) instead. I suspected it was either stolen or he needed money for a fix, or both.

It worked for me , just before I posted. I purchased the Apple TV3.

Cinemax and HBO have airplay functionality now. Netflix has airplay. Plex allows you to stream any media on your ATV2 or ATV3 via airplay in 1080p (720 for ATV2). The Plex IOS interface is awesome. Amazon Prime may not have airplay, but with these other alternatives, that's a pretty unique situation for preferring the Roku.

I've been using roku for the past few years, have been happy. I am not a fan of Apple's single window(itunes) monopoly(I like the products quality, but I never pay a penny for their monopoly). I want to try my ATV2 offer, jail break it and may sell it later :)

Anything bought at the kiosk at Staples, if paid in store, is valid for the 20% coupon. I bought an Apple TV yesterday along with my regular purchases, and when they scanned the "20% off anything that fits in the bag" coupon, it applied to my Apple TV. So save another 5% and dispense with the filler.

Same here, worked for me.

In for 1, code worked with the added paper clips!

In for 1. Need it to extend existing wifi network because it doesn't reach to upstairs.

Go through UR for staples. 2 points per. I think staples.com used to be 5. That would have been nice!

anybody know if the 25 off 75 coupons work with apple stuff?

I think this is a bit of an overstatement. Simply search the plex forums regarding apple tv 3 support. While airplay is possible, integral parts of viewing (pause, FF, etc) remain largely broken. If ten dollars shy of $100 is your sweet spot for a device like this, save that ten and buy the OUYA when it releases in a few months. Native support of XBMC, plex, etc. And unlike Apple's ecosystem, many apps on Google Play are free (unfortunately Plex app is $3 I believe, but XBMC is free).

Just wanted to throw in some thoughts here

Best buy has AirPort Extreme (REFURB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) for about $100 incl tax, free shipping.

If you need stronger signal than Express (NEW here in this deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), perhaps maybe consider the idea of the Extreme (REFURB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)?

Again, BB Extreme is...

REFURBBBBBB!!!!!!

Whereas Staples Express is... NEW!!!!!

WHAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT???????

Could you REPEATTTTTT PPPPPPPLLLLEEEEAASSEEE!!!!!!!

Reps to OP. Works great. My express just went out. Used my rewards and got a sweet deal. Thank you.

Please let me know anyone can jailbreak ATV3

yes, you can use it, but it is expensive.

Should I wait for Apple TV 4?

Do I need to buy Apple Remote separately ? It says 19$ for remote.

No, the ATV3 can not be jailbroken. From what I have recently seen an ATV3 jailbreak is a long ways away.

Will this not work with the 20% off bag deal? Wouldn't that be a better option at Staples, at least until 3/2?

***Maybe not...doesn't show in stock in store anywhere near me!*** Maybe it is for you.

What is the difference between Apple TV and Apple Airport Express Base station ?

Apple TV3 Jailbreak update from site
 

Deleted links, as was pointed out the site is a fake.

I think I'm going to wait till these show up in stores, throw a competitor coupon in, and get it for much less... In the mean time ill have to decide whether I want it or not

Trying to understand Apple TV, and other streaming media players for that matter. Is it for some reason better than the apps that are already included on my Sony Blu Ray player? I have Netflix, Amazon Instant Watch, Hulu Plus, etc all available on my Blu Ray player apps - what is different about Apple TV?

Apple TV is the internet streaming device that can stream Netflix, Hulu etc. You can also do mirroring with your ipad, iphone and macbook.

Apple Airport Base Station is a router.

not much different.

1. Better quality - easier to play. better and responsive interface or firmware ( Analogy of comparing iphone with sony phone). Iphone is more user friendly. You might probably feel stuck, lag or slow, difficult to type in or hard to navigate with your bluray player.

2. Mirroring - you can do mirroring with iDevices. - You can watch ipad Movies in your TV

3. can be jailbroken in the future - you can add more apps and FREE channels to watch almost all movies for FREE. So, you can save money for cable or direct-TV

4.better wireless network (wifi) - better range. When I play netflix with my sony player, wireless is dropped s and caused pausing sometimes.

5. Remote - if you have iPhone or iPad , you can use as a remote by downloading their remote apps. The advantage is easier to type in in Search.

I am all about apple products but when it comes to streaming boxes go ROKU. Way better.

Same, except I used the Office Depot 30% and a $10 off $75 from the mobile app. Total was $60 + Tax

I have both. The Blu-ray player will have more streaming options. The Apple TV will have less, but the interface is MUCH nicer and more responsive. Airplay from your Mac, iPad, or iPhone is a nice feature to have as is the iPhoto and iTunes integration.

did you price match? could you elaborate how you did it

That site is a hoax! Stay away from it.Don't post it.

Lol that is fake website. Its been like that for past 6 months or so. Its never coming. There isn't just enough devs willing to work on ATV 3.

Ordered from the Kiosk, which is the same as ordering from staples.com except when you check out, you select pay in store. It will then print a copy of the cashier instructions that you hand the cashier when checking out. Hand them the 30% office depot coupon and they will take $30 off then tell them your staples check in coupon code from your mobile phone. So now the math
$99 - $30 - $10 = $60 + tax.

It's fake. "Proof [macrumors.com]" even though none is needed. Just look at the site.

thank you, $60 is a great deal

do yourself a favor by googling this website name, you will see they are fake. they are trying to get traffic to their website no more no less

Thanks for letting me know guys. I was told by my buddy it was the definitive site for it.
Now I'm really bummed. I bought it a week ago after having read that site. Damn.

I appreciate the heads-up. I will delete my other post so as not to mislead others.

$60 great deal!

30% Coupon Match from OD is sweet.

For those who do not have that this is what I am thinking to get the price down to $76.5:

1. Start with top cash back and buy a gift card from one of the giftcard retailers like Plasticjungle, raise, abcgiftcards, cardpool etc (Avg cash back is 3%)
Physical Cards take 3-5 Days to arrive. eGift Cards usually ariive in 6 hours max.
2. Again go to top cash back and navigate to staples. You get 5.5% cashback for staples.com purchases
3. Apply the 15$ off coupon.

Assuming a 100$ purchase, my math:
$100 - 3 - 5.5 - 15 = $76.5

If you have a points earning card, those points still count in. For example, Chase Ink Bold and Few Amex cards offer 5X points at Office Supply Stores. At a fair trade value of 1c/point you pitch in 5% more savings. But this part applies to few % only.

I totally agree and am in the same boat as you.... I don't want to jailbreak my AT2 just to get Plex. Roku works great.

Hhahaha holla!!!

for those who have ordered for pick up or pay in store,

how long do you have to wait for store pick up? i just ordered one, hoping i can use the coupon before it expires.

good deal.
btw, where is the $10 coupon?

Check in with the staples app, its random what coupon you get but there is more info here.

How do you do Plex to atv3?

Sent from the official Slickdeals App for iPhone & iPod Touch.

The appletv comes with a small silver remote in the box. you should not have to buy a separate remote.

Good one!

Here is the link [officedepot.com] to the Office Depot 30% off.

I called my local Staples and the manager said they will honor a competitors (Office Depot) coupon!

$99 - $30 = $70. Not bad!

Anyone know if the watch espn app is able to AirPlay from an iPhone or iPad to the Apple TV?

Sent from the official Slickdeals App for iPhone & iPod Touch.

Got it, thank you.

Yes it should work. I believe a few apps like the optimum tv, HBO Go, Max Go will not work.

i just set this up last week and its pretty awesome. i have no trouble streaming 1080p to the television through the ipad. basically you get the plex app for your ipad, mac, or touch in the app store. the cost is 5 dollars. you then download plex on your computer whether its desktop or laptop. that is freee. you're basically setting up a mini server to host your files. anyways, you tell plex which folders, and files you want to access. you then can login to your plex server with your ipad using the app. allows you to watch whatever files you have on your computer on your ipad. if you have an apple tv, you simply airplay it to the tv.

the reason i jumped on this method was b/c with just apple tv, you have ot use itunes to play your files. this is fine for music, but a lot of movies have to be converted before they can be recognized by itunes. plex converts on the fly so you don't need itunes open nor do you have to convert files and like i said i can airplay 1080p content just fine on the tv.

hbo go airplay works

Thanks! Repped for your response.

Great response! Much appreciated! Repped!

Just wanted to throw a plug in for the Airport Express. Most of the chatter has been about the ATV.

I think the Airport Express is Apple's best and most underrated product.

at home I use it to:

-Extend existing wireless network
-Provide wireless access to a TV that would otherwise require an add-on wifi-adapter
-stream music via the optical output.

And when I travel, I throw the Airport Express in my bag and plug it into the ethernet port in the hotel so I do not have to rely on whatever craptastic wifi setup they are using.

will bestuby pm so i can use my reawards certificates :)))

I have OPlayer HD [apple.com] on my iPad which I can just watch files from my windows shared folders in my intranet, can't I just use that? Seems like a much simpler solution... :yummy:

Dumb question :(

How do you use the $30 cpn? staples does not carried the product and cpn expires on 3/2.

Read the wiki bro. Short answer: Use the kiosk.

Thanks OP. Repped

Airport extreme is a different product than Airport express.
 

Reg $ 179. That makes it a good find.

i'm sure you can yes. i haven't heard of the player you're using. plex allows you to stream files both over intranet and over wireless basically anywhere. so for example you could be in utah streaming files to your ipad from your home computer in NC.

No go for me...mgr said can't pm because officedepot doesn't carried such product.

Can you still order it if the store doesn't have it in stock? I searched staples for the availability and it said its not in any of the stores near me.

do a kiosk order, ship to home, pay at register

oh yikes... nice try though. try at another staples? you have until the 3rd to pay for your order (it doesn't have to be paid for in the store you ordered in)

I just went in to a staples that was near by just to "hold" an ATV for me, but I'm going to go and pay tonight or tomorrow at another staples store

OR just shove a 20% off coupon in their face. 20% + $10/$75 still beats the $85 from just ordering online with $15 coupon); (YMMV on the 20% because it's the bag coupon, but the register should accept it... i think it's worked on for quite a number of people doing kiosk orders)

Hmmm I'm going to try my luck and see if can stack both the 30% off and the 20% off. Highly doubt it'll work, but since the latter is a staples coupon, the cashier will just scan it rather than read it.

Sorry for the noob question but typically, where are the kiosks located? I've never seen one in store in the handful of staples I have been at.

it should be located in the back of the store. Ill attach an image in a moment

ETA: here's the link:
CLICK ME [blogspot.com]

If you can't find it, just ask someone; but basically just look around for a small circular desk, a computer and a laser printer with "Staples.com" above it.

HTH :)

After several expensive and flaky N routers I ended up with an Airport Express with a 8 port gigabit switch attached. Rock solid, excellent range (house with walkout basement). Can't complain. I've yet reboot it once and I bought it right after it came out.

My expensive routers were Netgesr and a refurb AirPort Extreme (5th gen). I had connection issues with the Extreme.

Ditto on this. I had a Roku and got an Apple TV as a gift a week later. Had to return one and wife didn't want me to offend her sis who bought us the Apple TV by asking to return it. The Roku was better hands down. Apple TV seems to freeze more, process tasks slower, and doesn't have Amazon or any of the free options.

The Apple is good, but the Roku is great. (Coming from a MacBook, Ipad, Iphone user.) I'm not trying to TC here, I do think the comments are relevant to this thread if you're comparing the two products which are roughly the same price.

It does. I just used it. In for one ATV. $79.18 after tax.

Is this the new atv with new internals as it came out early this month or the original apple tv3 released last year??

Sorry man. Thanks for updating us though.

I went ahead and ordered using a $25 off $75 one time use Staples coupon I got in the mail a couple of weeks back.

Saved me the trouble of getting rejected in-store.

Thanks, in 4 one. I am wondering if the newer Apple TV is coming soon .

Thank you much! Hunting one now!!

BTW, where do we check in for the $10? Repped!

any successful price match to best buy

I got mine for $6.15 (after using $40 ink rewards).....Bought two for $198 plus tax - 30% off using office depot PM, 20% staples anything fit in a bag and $20 off of $100....i used $80 in rewards..thanks

Used the OD coupon in two stores for 30% off ATV at each. Free shipping to home. Thanks OP.

First store staff had no idea they had a kiosk when I asked where it was, so I went to the back where the kiosk is in my regular store and found it. Staff was very surprised. I told manager about this when I was checking out and she rolled her eyes at her pathetic staff.

Second store didn't want to PM. At first, manager said all technoology is excluded. I asked him where it said that. When he couldn't show me, he said OD doesn't sell Apple products. I asked him why that was relevant and where in their PM policy it states that the competitor has to sell the same product. He relented and gave me the 30% off.

http://slickdeals.net/f/4047718-S...App-Thread

good to know that the 20% works. did the 30% come off one or both?

I have a $25 off $100 online/call coupon that I'll trade... Makes it $75 + tax. Let me know what you have. I tested it by adding Apple TV + Filler Item to Cart, then applying the coupon, and then emptying my cart.

I was able to use the 30% off Office Depot coupon at Staples no issues at all...just use the kiosk to place your order and choose to pay at the register.

I've owned a jailbroken atv2 which I sold for a profit. I now own an atv3 which I received free as a courtesy from an online retailer. My atv3 is still sealed and shrink wrapped because I have no legitimate use for it. I have an Xbox and ps3 for flex and Netflix. And I think airplay is overrated, novelty wears out quick. I won't hold my breath for a jailbreak, but unless one comes out this will continue collecting dust in my closet.

May be a dump question, how did you get $10 off ?

Interesting with all the talk in this thread about Appletv2, but I don't see anywhere that staples actually carries it. Did anyone actually see it on the shelves, or are we talking about Staples on carrying the newest generation Apple TV?

Wait... why does Apple allow a Plex client and not an XBMC client in the apps store?

i'm not sure. is there an xbmc app?

Yes, but you have to jailbreak to run it. The irony is that Plex is based on XBMC

i'm honestly not sure why they don't allow it. plex is still relatively new to me as well. they both accomplish pretty much the same thing right?

Plex requires a remote server to transcode in order for the streaming to be possible. XBMC just streams the file as it is and does all the decoding local to the system running the software. Other than that, they do the same blasted thing...

Looks like my check in didn't have any $10.. only some free martha stewart cards.

First store I went to wouldn't let me use the 30%.. they said it has to be "in store" and that the kiosk is an online purchase. I then told him that I ordered this in the store. He said this same situation happened with a previous customer and that's what my manager said. They would only let me use the 20% fit a in a bag coupon.

The second store I tried honored the 30% and the 20% fit in a bag coupon. Got it for a whopping $58. The manager told the cashier to print him a copy of my receipt :omg:

Use the staples app on your phone to check in to get coupons.. The only coupon I received was some free martha stewart cards..

seems silly they don't allow it. sounds like beaucratic bs.

if you are planning to go for one more, you may want to go in stores and just get the printouts. Go back in on the third after your third check in (which should be $10 off $75). i highly doubt they will take the OD coupon, but the 20% coupon should work fine with the $10/$75 one. and in case you don't want it, you didn't give them your CC info so they can't charge you

I'm about to get off from work and will drop by at La Habra Staples, I just hope they will honor my 30% off coupon and the 20% off from the bag.

I was not given the deal from La Habra Staples, but the one in Anaheim Staples, accepted the OD 30% coupon but not the 20% bag.

I have iOS devices as well and prefer the Roku, lots more content. I don't understand why you would want to fiddle with a second device like an ipad or iphone to then stream to your Apple TV, when you could just get a Roku that is $50+ cheaper and will do it all natively without dependence for a second device? Plex also has a channel on Roku and Roku's new apps allow you to stream content from your iOS/Android device (pictures, music(video is supported on android with a third party app)). However, if you have a large iTunes library and buy content from them often then the Apple TV has excellent integration with those services.

Good to know. I may try it but I highly doubt the 30% will work. I'm just really happy I got one for $58! I may try it again at the store that let me do it, hopefully it'll be a different manager since this guy seemed highly suspicious how I got such a great price.

Great video about apple TV and home media!

Used to OD coupon. Only checkin coupon available was some Martha Stewart to do list thing for free. $75. Manager didn't blink.

is there a roku that will do this that supports 1080p thats 50 bucks cheaper or is that only the cheaper 720p version?>

L.A. residents....which store honor the 30% OD cpn?

If you speak Spanish, they will honor 30
Just kidding

Just bought one in Santa Clara, CA Store.... it was a Kiosk Order... Manager refused to accept 30% OD coupon on top of staples $15 coupon but allowed me to use Staples 20% with a FREE bag.. so my total after taxes came out around $74 and that includes Paper clip as well :)

should we print out the 30% of OD coupon?? link please

I don't know much about Roku. So just curious when you guys are saying Roku is better than Apple TV are you comparing it to the jail-broke Apple TV2 or just a regular Apple TV??

Hmm thought I posted... Looks like I got shut down at my most lenient staples store... cashier was new and didn't know about competitor coupons, I asked for a manager, and after telling me that he would do it manually, he refused to do it saying one can't discount an Apple product

Should've done the 20% but didn't want to do anything stupid for the future so I just walked out. I'll probably try my luck tomorrow... today just hasn't been my day
I think I'll get it if I can get it for both the 20 % and 10/75, otherwise I don't care since I don't really watch tv and I do have that cheap old streamer from a few months back... You guys get me so hyped up lol

I love my Staples..... They let me use the 30% off coupon and the 20% off coupon for a total of $56.74 including the paper clips..... I used the Kiosk...... the didn't let me use the $15 off code though........ Needless to say when I saw the total I quickly swiped my card and ran out of there. This was an EXTREME YMMV

S/N I purchased one earlier at diff staples and that one only allowed me to use the 20% off bag coupon..... $79.20....

Yes print out the OD coupon, the link is on the wiki of this thread

It's come full circle. Last week SD'ers played the Staples $75 coupon on the Lenovo Laptop and now it's slight payback to Staples. Unfortunately, no Staples has this in store here in WA state.

where are the staples kiosk? the machines located in stores?

if yes, how do i check if my local staples stores have kiosks

http://slickdeals.net/forums/show...stcount=82
all staples stores have kiosks

thank you, i have to visit a store tomorrow to use the 30% OD and i have a 25$ off 100$ coupon.

see if i can get it brought down to (100 +paper clip 1.25)= 101.25 -25 =76.25*.70= 53.32 + plus

Good job but I still like the apple tvs that I got from the "Apple tv test" staples fiasco a while back. Thanks to bestbuy's pricematch policy!

Does this have a5 or A5X processor?

Theres also a " Free 2 Piece Travel Set with your delivery purchase of $100 or more" coupon from Jan catalog. Coupon stacked with the apple tv and paperclips in cart.

I've always been intrigued by the ROKU. What kind of channels do you get?

How many checkins does it take to earn the $10 off coupon?

Also, is it worth waiting to try to get that coupon or do we think they will come down hard with a policy on apple products to be excluded soon?

Sent from the official Slickdeals App for iPhone & iPod Touch.

I couldn't agree more. I returned my apple tv because roku can pretty much do amazon on demand, huluplus, HBO go, vudu, netlfix. I don't know any other streamers that can do that. It has Plex media server well where u can stream videos that are in your computer

I find roku nice, but kind of clumsy.

I got an Apple TV in January and it really has been awesome. The big thing is our ability to mirror from our phones, iPad, and laptops to the tv.

It's been a big difference in my cord cutting efforts. I got an HD antenna, Netflix, Hulu, and my wife has really taken to it.

That was the difference. Roku was fun for me, but the UI was frustrating for her.

Sent from the official Slickdeals App for iPhone & iPod Touch.

A5. the new new AT4 is supposed to have the A5X.

Apple has hinted as it being a silent update. Still branded as ATV 3.

It'll be interesting to see if that's the case. Hopefully there will be a software update to come out with it.

Sent from the official Slickdeals App for iPhone & iPod Touch.

I just wished my ATV supported Amazon Prime Instant Video. Still thinking about getting another for the living room

I thought the boxes with silent update are already out. Wanted to confirm these are the new boxes

Please advise if this work, if so I'll pick another one to give as a gift.

Well, this will be my 4th apple TV... One more and I'll have every tv in the house covered.

The only real negative to the Apple vs competitors in my opinion is the fact that every thing must be in mp4 format to play on the apple tv's without airplay. This was a huge issue for me at first but now that I've automated the process I'm fine with it. I'm anticipating the apple tv's eventually will be open to the app store but only time will tell.

Hi, is there a $15 in store coupon?

Thanks for the heads up on this device, something to keep an eye on. I don't care about the games really but my kids would like that part of it. I need something with a real remote control as opposed to a controller.

I have a JB Apple TV 2 + XBMC and a ROKU LT + PLEX both are solid players in their own ways. I do prefer the ATV so I don't HAVE to run an app on my desktop all the time.

Roku is nice but where ATV has the advantage is for iPhone/iPad/MacBook mirroring

So convenient when I need to share something with friends and family from the iPad.. That alone is worth it

Worked for me! Thanks and repped!!

No go here in southern california, got shot down on 30% OD coupon nor 20% anything that fits in a bag. so got the order cancelled.

I purchased via Kiosk used the 30% off OD coupon and the $10 of check in coupon

$99.99-30%-$10 = $59.99 +tax.

Seems like a good deal to me. I have a Roku, but I really would like Airplay. I set it up in my parents house, and it is awesome.

anyone from southern california got this deal to work, can you post store details?

Can anybody please let me know what is the check in coupon?
Thank You.

If you're near in Anaheim Staples, they accepted the 30% OD only. Good luck

I was able to set up order at kiosk, the cashier accepted the OD 30% discount and applied the 20% discount for the Staples store in Charlotte nc.

well no go on the 30%, but got 20% and 10/75 due to cashier
both stores I was rejected on the 30% because "you don't discount apple products PERIOD"
(ironically, at the first store i went to, i used the 20% + 10/75 and then came back to try the 30% and i was shot down (and this was the nice manager), saying "you can't discount...")... wonder if it's because Apple is based on CA?

which means that in the future, it will be impossible to get a discount on apple products using competitor coupons (and of course staples will add it in their fine print too)...

lol stupid apple brand... obviously retailers offer discounts to it (microcenter is a huge one) and apple does it on black friday and during the summer as part of their B2S promo.... sigh i guess people just think of apple as all high and mighty, :worship: :worship::worship:

didn't want to argue since I always use coupons at these stores so I just laughed and let it slide. Oh wells.
you could maybe try searching ebay for online coupons or the staples coupon thread in SD to find something better than a $15/$100.

We won't know until we see the model number I guess, but I doubt these are the newest ones. Those should just be leaving apple distribution for retailers now.

I haven't worked in retail for several years, but it used to be that the retailers only had about 2% margin on Apple products. With the rising cost if keeping B&M stores open, it was almost impossible to offer employees any discount on Apple products. The only reason many big box stores carried them was to get the traffic for ridiculous accessory and peripheral markup.

I laughed about it with my wife when we left after just using the OD 30% off coupon, because I'm sure they're eating a minimum of $15 on that.

Did anyone actually find success stacking the OD 30% AND the 20% bag promo or the $10/75?

I went back to Staples to get an Apple Extreme and Express, but this time I was only able to get 30% off using the OD coupon. Not as good as earlier but I am still happy.

i think there were some posts with SDers using both coupons
i would have though corporate would have acted quicker to stop coupon usage on these Apple products, but guess not.

oos now :(

I am sure on the next set of coupons, they will exclude apple products.

Same here. Went to the store kiosk and added the item, and it just says they're out of stock (and doesn't give any other options). Shame too, since this was an awesome deal (even without the 30% OD coupon).

Because with the Roku, you are fiddling with a remote (a second device). With AppleTv, my Iphone or Ipad is my remote, and it's a much better remote. There is no extra device over the Roku.

Just got back - was able to get the Airport for $55.99 + tax :) Repped!

I went to the kiosk to order it, but the printer wasn't working. Went to the checkout and the manager had to redo the transaction. He then applied the 30% OD coupon by changing the price to $69.99, and then was able to scan the 20% off Bag coupon. Thanks OP!!!!

The Apple TV is use for streaming video to your tv like Netflix and Hulu. Most people use the Airport Express like the guy above. They buy it so they can hook it up to their portable speakers to play musics, or a wireless printer, or to extend their network. I don't think too many people buy the Airport Express for use as their home wireless router judging from this review as well as countless other reviews on Amazon.

If you need a wireless router the Airport Extreme is the most popular option. It looks and works more like a traditional wireless router without the 3.5mm jack for external speakers. You can get a used one from Ebay like I did for $100. The increased range I get is really incredible. I live in a condo and I could not get wifi signal from my parking space outside. With my new Airport Extreme, not only can I get a signal from my parking space now, I can get a signal from across the parking lot!

I am looking to buy an Airport Express station which is why I'm looking at this deal. I plan to use it to hook up to speakers and/or my printer so I can do wireless printing. I do not plan to use it as my primary wireless router although it looks like you can do it.

If you don't have cable like me, it's worth it cause it gives you something to watch on tv. It's a lot of news for me like Wall Street Journal and Fox news. I also have Amazon Video so I can watch Deadliest Catch and the 4 or 5 free movies (I'm exaggerating) that come with the service. Believe it or not one of my fav channels is Al Jazeera (english version). Some of the best journalist expose's I ever seen (no, I'm not Arabic).

Does it mention anywhere that Staples take competitor's coupon?
Thank You.

Called my two local stores in the Philadelphia area... "Do you / will you accept Office Depot coupons"

Answer: "No".


I'm amazed that so many people have had success using an Office Depot coupon at Staples stores... Pretty cool, sucks for me though...


Staples price match policy makes no mention of competitor coupons either :-(...

Here's an interesting post on FW about Staples coupon policy...

Page 2 shows...

Competitor Coupons
Must be applied as a price guarantee using the 100% Price Guarantee function at the register


I think I'm going to give it a try... I suppose I could always ask them to show me the in-store policy if they are reluctant to honor the coupon...

Out of Stock when I went just now. THis is dead.

They should honor competitor coupon. Only rude and mean manager will deny it, especially in greater Los Angeles area. Many people got shot down in that area.

I use my iPad as my Roku remote. There's many apps for that. But I got the Apple TV anyway, great price with the 30% OD coupon.

wow back in stock, with 999+... lol staples

remember folks, 5 digit coupons can be used up to 2 days after expiration date (in store coupons); the 15 off 100 ONLINE coupon expires tomorrow night, enjoy :D

Model number is A1469 for the A5X chip btw

hmm IIRC the A5X is a silent update incorporated into the ATV 3...
confirmed: http://www.macrumors.com/2013/01/...-features/

ETA: looks like the A5X model has been released about a week or two ago. Hopefully the ones we get from staples is the A5X (check via the model number above, if it's "A1427 " then it's the "older 3,1) ATV3 and if it's A1469, it's "3,2" A5X). The order number is still "MD199LL/A" but the model number has changed.

while we wait, how are people going to set these up. I do have a iPad, MBP 13" laptop and a win. 8 PC and I'm thinking about streaming from my PC (since it's connected to all my ext. HDDs)... but I'm not sure which program to use. Any suggestions? (thinking about airparrot, but leaning to Airvideo. Don't feel like converting everything to mp4).

Oh i think i read something about plex in this thread, that's also an option. Beamer is a good looking Mac Only App.

also look at Air Video

IN STOCK NOW for $99


NEVER MIND.. its showing in stock but when adding to cart it says currently out of stock

What was the name of the Mobile app that got you the$10.00 off?

Thanks in advance

Did the kiosk, apple tv + filler, 15 of 100. However at the register, somehow the coupon took $5 off the apple tv and 10 off my filler, so they wouldn't apply the OD 30%. Ended up using just OD, so $70 + tax, not bad at all!

Which store in Charlotte did you go to??

There's certainly pros/cons to each.. I do not run Plex but do use both AirVideo and AirParrot along with iHomeServer. AirVideo is nice for multiple reasons but will require both the AirVideo server running on a PC and an iOS device to AirPlay to the AppleTV. AirParrot will negate the need for an iOS device to steam to the AppleTV but the quality is not as nice as AirVideo. iHomeServer is out for you as this requires mp4 conversions.

yes it worked for me

Shows in stock but when added to cart, it show out of stock.

Went to the Staples off Providence Rd.

They had one in stock?? I went to the one near downtown Charlotte and the lady told me that She could not order it because it was out of stock online.

Did you have this problem too?

he/she did this before it went OOS. if it's OOS online you can't do a kiosk order

Staples.

Thank you

Got email telling that apple tv is out of order and will hold the order on hold.and if I wish to continue with the order they want to charge 9 dollars for shipping 1 dollar filler clips.

That's bizarre. My estimated date of delivery is still Wednesday, March 6.

Mine was a kiosk order, though, without fillers. Used 30% OD coupon.

lol just remembered I had some free TBs i got from staples last year through a huge PM + Coupon Mistake. Set that up, and I'm in the process of converting all my vids to mp4.

I'm thinking about using another 30% off and a $10/75 off an Apple Express when I get the check-in coupon.

Those are nice little units. I've got one but I want another to run an Airplay back patio speaker setup.

Anyone through processing yet?

Mine says available, 0 shipped. Both orders have an ETA of tomorrow, and I already got a call that one order has been delayed to tomorrow (supposed to arrive today)... I think these will ship, but I'll update later tonight to see if it ships

Huge ymmv since the 30% has expired. But if you can pull it off, we'll done

UPS delivered the order and got the newest model 1469. Ordered online with $15 coupon only instead of ordering in store.

15 off 100 coupon not working anymore, they disabled this coupon and made apple tv available to order.

Bummer. I just noticed that both the 20 and 30% coupons are expired. I was working on getting the check in one. Womp.

Mine still says "processing" with an estimated delivery date of Wednesday. Hopefully it still comes at that time.

Anyone know of another OD or % off coupon that I can try instore along with the checkin coupon for an Airport Express?

Fudge, OOS

Good to know, unless people report otherwise I think it's a safe bet we all should get the latest model

I was able to add to cart around 11:30am today but the 15 off 100 online coupon did not work.

Yeah that coupon expired last night

One order shipped from TX and is set for delivery on Wednesday. Other still processing. Both ordered on Friday at store kiosk and paid at register using 30% OD coupon.

The unshipped order shows full price on the website order summary, though I didn't pay that. Shipped order shows what I paid.

My order is still processing. I ordered around 11am on Saturday via in store Kiosk.

I called, they said the coupon expired on Sunday....

is the model number on the box? or is it on the apple tv device?
