I'll be interested to see how this ends up working out. The layout of events is quite weird to me. I wonder if there is another aspect to this like maybe the Tiger Direct offer was from a reseller and not Tiger Direct directly or something to that effect and potentially the change to the price match is related, but only in that Best Buy changed it because they were tired of dealing with these 3rd party reseller type issues.

Apple has very tight controls over pricing and getting an $1100 iPad for half price seems to me that something is off there. That's such an incredible deal it's amazing there weren't millions sold. Another possibility is the TD deal was for a refurbished iPad.
