The official Office for Mac blog just posted a list of places interested buyers can get Office for Mac 2011 at reduced cost throughout the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend. Here are the prices you'll get if you buy during the US Thanksgiving holiday weekend from these retailers (note the special savings from Amazon):

  • Apple Stores (US & Canada): $20 off Home & Student Family Pack for $129 (regularly $149 ERP).
  • Best Buy and MacMall (US): $20 off Home & Student 1-pack for $99 (regularly $119 ERP) and $20 off Home & Student Family Pack for $129 (regularly $149 ERP).
  • Amazon (US): $40 off the Home & Student 1-pack, cost of $79 (regularly $119 ERP) and Home & Student Family Pack for $109 (regularly $149 ERP).
  • OfficeforMac.com (US): $20 off Home & Student Family Pack for $129 (regularly $149 ERP).

Office for Mac 2011 was released at the end of last month and has gotten generally favorable reviews, especially for its speed increases. If you're in the market for an Office upgrade, it looks like next weekend is the time to buy.

I got mine directly from Microsoft's Student Deals (digital river download) for $99. Academic version with Outlook, which is basically the Business version at 50% off. Can't beat it.

Now, if they could only make Office 2011 work properly. Even after the patch to 14.01, it hangs for at least a couple of minutes after starting up. Seems Office 2011 has some severe issues with font handling.

As someone who's interesting in upgrading to Office for Mac 2011, the title caught my attention. What a misleading title to sucker me to the site. Shame on you TUAW. Shame on me for trusting that TUAW didn't exaggerate their titles like most sites do.

Again, what part of $40 off isn't a good deal?

Best Buy gave me a $20 gift card for buying the suite the day after it came out.

A ~15% discount is not hefty.

Try going to a major university or having a friend who goes to one. Have them buy a copy. They sell for less than $20 dollars and it's an authentic Microsoft-endorsed version. 85% discounts > 15%. Also, TUAW sucks.
