Amazon offers $35 off Mac OS X \"Tiger\" pre-orders (Updated)
Tipsters have recently noted that Amazon.com is offering a $35 rebate on all pre-orders of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger (single license version), reducing the cost from $129.99 down to $94.99. Additionally, the online retailer is offering $50 Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger Family Pack, which allows users to install the operating system on up to 5 Macintosh computers. According to Amazon, only purchases made between Jan. 9 and May 31, 2005 qualify for the discount. Further details and a printable copy of the rebate are available here.Update: It appears that, for unknown reasons, Apple has once again asked Amazon to disable Mac OS X Tiger pre-orders. Amazon has also removed the associated rebate info.

Education pricing is better, but the rest of us are unlikely to do better than $94.95 (and free shipping too).
And with software, I'm hoping Apple can get sufficient quantities to all sources pretty quickly anyway.

How much will the education discount be?
Edu pricing on OS X is typically $50 off, or $79 (and Apple too has free shipping).
EDIT: $60 off, equals $69! Even better... (See below.)
(Check out some of Apple's edu software prices, too... sometimes you pay less than half price! Like Logic Express for $99 I seem to recall.)
$50-$79 off and it's instant. No need to mail it in like Amazon. I'll stick with Apple's rebate.
Currently, it's $69 for Panther. I'd expect the same for Tiger.
Not $79 off: $79 (US) is the the total after subtratcing the $50 discount.
As I say, edu pricing is better than Amazon, if you qualify.
I didn't know they'd dropped Panther to $69. When did they do that? Is is possibly only because it's an aging version? (I can't even go check now because the Apple store is suddenly completely bogged down!)
If that's true for Tiger too then you edu folks get $60 off! 
hmm, my search for mac os x tiger at Amazon.com seems a bit off

IIRC, it's always been $69 for education customers.

Panther's £69 over here and £99 is the normal price.... They need to sort their pricing out really.

Amazon usually gets OS shipments out quick. They have in the past. But remember here its not $35 off, its a $35 rebate. Edu pricing isn't a rebate, so you're not stuck waiting for a check that may never come.
And pre-order quick if you're thinking of it, in case they kill the deal in a few days, like they did a couple of years ago.
