the student developer discount and the educational discount are neck in neck right now.
Usually with the student developer discount you get around a 20% one time only discount on a system and any accessories (has to be one purchase,...all on the same bill)
But with the ipod and system bundle with $300 off they are neck in neck.
For example.
Student developer discount 17" powerbook price = $3525
+ 20 gig ipod $475
+ 14.5% tax
=$4580
Educational discount on 17" powerbook $3850
+ 20 gig ipod $529
-$300
+ 14.5% tax
=$4671
In other words..not worth wasting your one time only discount on the student developer rate. Save it for the G5
