With the iPad 3 due very soon now it seems that not only are some individuals trying to rid themselves of the soon to be outdated iPad 2’s but also a big box retailer in the US has dropped the selling price of the iPad 2 by $70, meaning you can pick up the 16 GB, Wi-Fi version for just $429. There’s a bunch of accessories on offer too, including the Smart Cover with $5 off making the selling price just $35.
If you’re not in the market for an iPad 2 then Meijer will give you a $15 iTunes gift card if you pick up an 8GB iPod Touch from them for $195 this week.
Appleinsider also reports that last year Best Buy offered $45 off all iPad 2 models in a Black Friday frenzy but they’ve never seen such a steep drop as $70. Something tells us the iPad 3 is going to be awesome…
If you want to pick up a bargain iPad 2 today, just click here to go to the website but for the moment at least it looks like you can only get this prices by picking up the devices in store.

Meijer is headquartered here (in Grand Rapids). I received their e-mail announcement of this price cut over the weekend, and, yes, I was surprised. Too bad I’m not in the market for one at the moment, since I got mine on release day last year.

I know how you feel Joel, seems like a great saving and so unusual on Apple products.
