Was in Myer Geelong and came across this! Never have I found an Apple Airport extreme below $100.
The model number on the ticket is MB763X/A which I believe is the Mar 2009 version.

Uhh… the post says it was Myer in Geelong. And the image shows $99.
Dare I say first post… From an iPhone… While standing infront of it in the store.
@rosscom: Oh I was replying to the other guy.
what is the difference between this one and the current model… they seem to be pretty identical to me
Pretty sure this is the only thing:
Simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi.
For maximum range and compatibility, AirPort Extreme works simultaneously on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, allowing all the devices on the network to use the most efficient band automatically. It uses the latest 802.11n wireless technology, so you can enjoy up to five times the Wi-Fi performance and up to twice the range of 802.11g wireless networks.2 And improvements in antenna design give you up to 50 per cent better performance and up to 25 per cent better range than with the previous-generation AirPort Extreme Base Station.3
Heh I just paid $150 for this one a month or two ago (on a different OzBargain special).
I thought my version was dual band too but maybe not?
Nah this one is still dual band, but doesn't do guest networking. It's also still Draft-n whereas the current is full spec.
correct me if i'm wrong, but there is no difference between draft-n and the standardised n
This one still does guest networking and dual band. The late 2009 (current) aparently has better range and the final N chip.
I just set mine up last night (and it's this model) and it had a guest networking setup step.
Gave Myer Pacific Fair a call and they don't have any of the old model in stock. Where would be a good place to try price matching?
Dick Smith may be able.
or jb hi-fi if u r lucky
Got the last one at Myer @Sydney CBD today. What a bargain!
Thanks Ozbargain =)
Has anyone seen this model in the Brisbane stores?
Edit: None in Brissy. I phoned; Brisbane City, Brookside, Carindale, Chermside, Indooroopilly, Loganholme & North Lakes. :(
price and location in title would be nice thanks
