With the October 26th release date of Surface and November for the first round of WP8 devices coming around, what do you think the chances are of a deal when purchasing both?
I know that at least in the Microsoft store near me, they are CONSTANTLY having different promotions for their new products. When Ultrabooks were first announced, I got 25% off for purchasing more than $1000 dollars in the store. (Zenbook at 999 and the arc mouse). When the HTC Titan was released, I got mine for a penny at the Microsoft store 3 days after launch (admittedly, it was Black Friday, but I beleive they continued the promotion for a time afterwards as well.) Recently, they've been selling Xbox + Kinect bundles for super cheap as well....
And with my eyes on both the Surface RT and Lumia 920 coming up, all I can think is what a great opportunity having a "bundle" sale at these stores would be for Microsoft (and, more selfishly, for me).
I mean, I'm probably going to buy them both anyways, but a boy can dream, right....
