I've found the best way to get a discount at the Apple store is to know/befriend a specialist there. They're more than happy to kick a discount your way(after all they aren't paid on commission) if they know you. The $100 off my MacBook pro is proof. Sure it's only an 8% discount, but it sure beats paying full retail. Especially when all I needed to do was ask "can you hook me up on this?" and he did, no problem.
