Bad news I'm afraid, Apple are wise to people joining up just for the

This is NOT TRUE. As soon as you bough ADC membership, you get your discount.

I believe that if you get a Select ADC/WWDC combined ticket this
requirement may be waived and you get the hardware discount immediately
but I'm not sure.

Select ADC and Premier ADC are the only two programs with hardware discount(s) (http://developer.apple.com/membership/details.html). And they (discounts) available immediately.

In general I would suggest you sign up for Select ADC membership
because you need access to developer resources rather than purely for
the hardware discount.

Oh, to answer your question, the discount is typically 25% I believe,
though it may vary with the machine being bought.

I know this is off-topic for the rest of you, but I use my Mac for

Java

development and will need to upgrade to test against the intel Mac...
I see that buying a select membership to ADC costs $500, which gives

me
one discounted hardware purchase.

My question is how much is the discount? Presumably some of you will

have gone this route, so what I need to know is is it cost effective
(i.e. will I get more discount than the membership costs!)
