How to get Leopard on the cheap, if you’re a student

Posted by Cyrus Farivar | Thursday, October 18, 2007 11:00 AM PT

If you have a university student ID, and don’t want to shell out the full price for Leopard ($129), nor the online education store price ($116), you’re probably eligible for a cheaper (and legal!) copy of Leopard. TUAW is reporting a tentative university bookstore price of $70.

Back in the day, Tiger apparently went for $40 using this same method.

If you do manage to score Leopard this way, please let us know what university you pulled off this neat trick at in the comments, m’kay?

I'm a student at the University of North Texas. I've already asked our bookstore, and they confirmed a $69 pricetag for Leopard.

American University Bookstore (Washington, DC) told me that they'll know the price once the shipment of Leopard comes in and they implied it's likely to be close to $100 off. I'm going to check as soon as it comes in and if it's anywhere close to that I'm definitely buying.
