What are you going to buy on Boxing Day??

[oz388]

Guys, now I'm looking at all the flyers, maybe I'm blind I don't see anything worth me to wake up at 5am on 26th...what about you? What are you getting this year on the Boxing day!?:bigpimp:

[1997GSR]

more beer

[kaput]

.

[badatusrnames]

A good sleep.

I was downtown today and found that there were already some pretty good deals to be had. Everything I bought, from Kenneth Cole sweaters to a wireless mouse to hairspray was on sale and I wasn't even looking for reduced prices when I grabbed them.

[ragu]

Boxing day is the biggest scam ever; you can have the same deals a week before boxing day.

I'll wander into future store and worst buy at some point in the day to buy whatever cheap blu ray movies that I can, maybe some cheap ps3 games if there are any.

[copynpaste]

I got mad lucky and picked up a used Planet Earth bluray last Fri at blockbuster and Hulk both for $30 TOTAL! Thats my boxing day deal right there.

[HiTempguy1]

There are actually some deals you won't find at any point in the year. Case in point: 32" Sony M4000 tv for $399.99 at futureshop. While not that GREAT of a TV, it is decent, and stupid cheap. You'd be hard pressed to find a better deal for that cheap, which is why a buddy of mine will probably grab one. Also, staples has Acer netbooks with XP and 16gb for $300. You can't get that anywhere else, its usually $400 (or more) with XP. My father is going to try to scoop up a netbook.

As for me, I just purchased a nvidia 7600gs pcie card for $44 from futurecrap. Should do well enough for me. I am also eyeballing the bose headphones for $79.99 at futureshop. I bought the exact same pair for the ex last year, and they were $129.99 (and its like a freakin' orgasm in your ear)!

For the most part though, boxing day is a ripoff. The only really good deals are usually A) stuff going out of production (hence why its so cheap, but buying what was high tech a year ago is always a good deal) B) Discounted refurbished stuff. I just so happen to not mind either, so works for me!

[SikAssR1]

I don't know about Calgary, but Kelowna malls have a lot of stores giving an additional 50% off lowest marked price sales already. It's not just on specific items, it's the whole store.

I suggest just buying the groceries in Golden instead of hauling it all the way from your city. have fun boarding!

[rumeo]

might buy some clothes...hopefully theres some good deals out there

[Jeremiah]

TV Card for my PCs x2
50" Panasonic Plasma
Canon Rebel XSi
Pioneer F90BT

[Sorath]

i`d go on christmas eve cause its the same shit pricing for boxing day.

[xLostx]

there's def some cheaper prices on things, best buy and future shop have their boxing day flyers on their website

[GQBalla]

im going to hit up speedtech, check out their deals.

[scat19]

I have never been a part of the so called "boxing day" rush.

A nice sleep is all I need :dunno:

[dr_jared88]

The "Deals" get worse and worse every year. Nothing has remotely interested me to go stand in line for. Even these 50" Panasonic Plasmas for $900 aren't that great of a deal. They are old Visions had them for the same price last week.

[DonJuan]

I'm planning on hitting up Speedtech see what's happenin, then over to futureStore/worst buy for a new TV, maybe some other stuff. All at around noon or so.

:facepalm: for the 5AM people. It's gonna be -19c overnight. Good luck!

[benyl]

Visions is selling the Onkyo 706 for $678. That is a pretty good deal.

You could probably haggle that price, but who the fuck wants to do that.

Have fun working a 16 hour day :thumbsup:. I dont miss it at all haha

[Xtrema]

Nothing really interesting this year other than the old model Sharp Aquos 65" for $3K.

[Chandler_Racing]

Really... :D

I've been saying to myself that when the TV hits 3k I will buy it. I guess it's time.

[beyondpinoy]

ahahha the year i worked at bestbuy, the night before boxing day, i had a nightmare where i was the only one in the store helping all these crazy angry people buy cheap ass electronics!!! hahahaha and when i went to work that day, it was like my nightmare came true!!!

im glad i donly did boxing day that ONE TIME!!! was it super busy that day!!! personally i don't think its worth the trouble

[mekeni]

nothin' for me..

[BerserkerCatSplat]

I don't think I'll get anything this year, though I'll hit Long & McQuade with a friend later in the week.

[jwslam]

i'm not going because i don't wanna get trampled like the poor guy on black friday at some wal-mart

jokes
but seriously, it's always boxing WEEK now, so what's the point of boxing day

[03ozwhip]

since i live outside the city, ill probably do online. im gonna try to buy a specific tv from teh bestbuy boxing day flyer, but it says its already sold out and it hasnt even started yet, and the fuckfaces at bestbuy arent answering their phones. WTF, why would it be in the flyer for boxing day but already say sold out?

[benyl]

duh.... maybe because it is a boxing day sale and the inventory is only going to be available on boxing day?

[03ozwhip]

well why would they not post that then, instead of sold out? maybe "waiting for inventory" or some shit like that would make it a bit more clear. it threw me off, so im wondering if other people might feel the same?

[natejj]

www.ncix.com is the only site I shop from on Boxing day. They have SERIOUS deals.... serious discounts on wicked PC parts, you can grab 4 gigs of ram for prolly under 30 bucks, a 1 tb hd for under 100 easy, sale starts today 3 pm online.

[03ozwhip]

i was also wondering if anything in the boxing day flyer can be bought online, or is it in store only price? and what about buying multiples? the specific tv doesnt say limited to one per person, does that mean i can buy more than one?

[HyperZell]

No, because people can read. Boxing Day Sale = on Boxing Day.

[GTSCeli]

Last year I went to best buy to pick up a 32" Sony tv for cheap that they had advertised and when I got there in the morning they told me you had to have signed up a week in advance to purchase this particular tv. Total :bullshit:

[SJW]

http://www.248am.com/images/fundies.jpg

[03ozwhip]

hyperzell are you retarded? THERE IS A BOXING DAY FLYER OUT, that means they have posted prices, but arent selling until the 26th, i know that as well as everyone else but why when you look into it further, does it say SOLD OUT? how does that mean, "people can read"?

[Toms-SC]

After checking out all of the RedFlagDeals fliers this boxing day is the worst I have ever seen.

[stevieo]

i want a xbox 360 haha

[03ozwhip]

ya its not the greatest, but for 1399 for a 52" sharp aquos, there are still some pretty good deals to be had, if youre spending a decent amount.

[natejj]

Agreed, Visions even had a $1 DVD Player last year as a door crasher... nothing worth freezing your ass off for. Big deal, get an old model 42" TV for 700.... fail.

[HyperZell]

Dude, all the flyers say that the offers and prices are good on Boxing Day, and that the sale starts on Boxing Day. So why the hell are you freaking out? If you think about it, they probably delisted stuff so that morons don't buy now and try to price match on Boxing Day.

[jdmSiR]

i wonder if the mac-store in market is going to have any deals

[r0g3r]

You know what sucks? Visions.

Last year, we went in very very early to get the door crasher deals. The bastards only allowed us to buy 1 hot ticket item. Which was totally retarded cuz we stayed there so long and its obviously not worth it to stay there for just one thing. The year before we were able to get whatever we wanted. Pissed me off so much.

Anyway, this year the deals suck ass. Nothing good at all.

The only thing I might be get is like dvds or memory cards, which are pretty cheap.

[bball2]

I might buy a few things I need online, but I'm not going out of the house on boxing day

[NickGT]

I'll be ordering an axle-back exhaust online. Highly doubt there will be any deals to be had on the particular ones I'm looking at but whatever. There's absolutely no way I'm going anywhere in this city on boxing day.

[xmattx8]

Futureshop opens there boxing day prices online in an hour. Ill be picking up 32" Sony Bravia for 700$. They were regularly $1200, anyone think they might have just jacked that price up to make it seem better?

There is supposed to bea 40" Samsung 1080P tv for I believe the same price (though it might have been $799) depending on if you want to spend a little extra or not...I was at FS today and thats what they told me.

[x.staygold.x]

I'm gonna pick up a new TV. Probably somewhere in the 42" range...

[03ozwhip]

i dont think its a bravia, but visions flyer has a sony 32" lcd for 397, you might wanna look into that if youre gonna go with a 32"

[gpomp]

i'm getting rain-x washer fluid from canadian tire :clap:

[xmattx8]

It's definitely a bravia 1080p. I just need one for the bedroom and the Bravia's are supposed to be awesome so Im going with the smaller size better quality.

[max_boost]

Nothing man. Boxing day is insanity. I'll go crazy being around all those people.

The 32" Sony Bravia for $700 is the 1080P model. The $397 Sony is their bottom barrel 32". My buddy just picked up a 40" Toshiba LCD with 1080P from visions for $750 (the same one is on sale for $799 at best buy, which is the one I think you are talking about). The Toshiba is a bitchin' deal IMO, get Best Buy to price match it with visions. Model number and everything matches up.

[max_boost]

Oh I wold buy more hou.to except the markets are closed. :rofl:

[dino_martini]

I might go buy some new jeans or something. I'll probaby pick up Halo 3, Gears of War, and Gears of War 2 at Wal-Mart.

bought a 360 on Boxing Day 2006
bought a PS3 on Boxing Day 2007

I would buy a new TV, but its going to be a complete gong show in Future Shop/Best Buy/Visions/etc. I'll get around to buying a new TV. Maybe later this week. I dont know.

[schocker]

I picked up COD and some headphones and dvds online from bestbuy and futureshop so i dont have to go there on boxing day, that day will be for clothes and more dvds.

[Toms-SC]

No

[beecue]

$240 at BB and some good games like CoD for $40.

There are some nice TV deals like Sharp 46" for $1000 .. too bad I don't need one

[kerry]

Clothes... :)

[bball2]

I just picked up two of these:

http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFS10116821&catid=26261&logon=&langid=EN

Same price as Comstar / Iomega hard drives on futureshop except a 5 year limited warranty through Maxtor apparently.

[Dumbass17]

i have to drive to fuckin dreadmonton on boxing day....ugh. worst driveever haha

[88CRX]

Picked up an Shaw HD PVR and a couple Entourage DVD's off best buy's site last night.

Most of the sales really aren't that great.... unless you were planing on buy some new electronics around this time.... easy to save a couple hundred here and there.

[Cooked Rice]

Going to hit up walmart for their$9 4.4L Jug of Castrol GTX going to probably get like 10 jugs lol. Not synthetic, but still a high quality dino oil.

[Clever]

I've been looking for some center channel speakers not having any luck with the online flyers so far, so I might have to go out and see what the stores have.

[hks]

was looking at getting a dslr this year and saw the canon rebel xs kit at futureshop for 499.

anyone know if this is a good deal?

[oz388]

It's an ok price, Nikon & Canon DSLRs do not really go on sale unless the model is discontinued. Usually the most you can get is some free stuff along with the camera or the retailers would bring down a little bit on their sky high price like Futureshop :dunno:

[Dehvee]

Is the 40" 1080p Samsung HDTV at futureshop worth it? I'm trying to get the best 40" or 42" TV I can for around that price range ($800)

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0770HDS0010112400&logon=&langid=EN

Or this 42" LG Plasma HDTV isn't looking too bad either for the same price

There are already 40+ in line at the NE Visions.

Just a heads up ;)

I'm going to one-up you and say that I purchased something from FutureShop online while taking a dump. I didn't pay the $13 though.

LOL! They must be ghosts of Boxing day past! ;)

@11:15PM+

Visions NE = a white pick up truck and 2 SUV's, a few chairs

Best Buy NE = a white car and a few chairs

Futureshop NE = nothing

Futureshop Coventry = nothing

Things appear to have died down compared to last year, the weather was about the same as last year IIRC.

Did you buy the DCT6416 hdpvr? That one doesn't have an HDMI port, its 1080i w/components. Future shop had the DCT3416 w/hdmi port for 397.99, I bought it online right away and supposedly they were out of stock, so I cancelled the order and I ordered the same one from Visions for the same price. Best Buy was selling the DCT3416 for $499.99.

[Dj_Stylz]

Bought a Samsung washer and Dryer online from futureshop.

All the seasons of Entourage dvd's from bestbuy

wrong, the 6416 has an hdmi port as well. They are the same box other than the 6416 can also tune in analog channels as well as digital. Motorolla saved a few bucks omitting the analog tuner in the 3416.

I was hoping they would have a deal on the silver care set.

[xLostx]

bought batman begins, 300, iron man, pans labyrinth, and rambo on blu ray. a bluetooth headset for my ps3 and a 100 pack of blank dvd's.

[Cooked Rice]

Bought 10 jugs of Castrol GTX like I said lol. I went to the Deerfoot walmart, and they only had 10W-30 cause supposedly the truck that has the 5W didn't make it. So I went to the marlbrough one, and it was the same deal... So I just stocked up on 10W. The Marlborough one was just about out of stock on them. Deerfoot location still had quite a bit. This was at about Noon. Enter through the automotive entrance, and pay there. No lines.
40L for about $90 Good priced dino oil.

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/4084/img0541qb3.jpg

[nobb]

How much does 10W-30 Castrol GTX in the 4.4L jug cost normally? 10 jugs of it seems a bit excessive...but I might pick up a few.

I am still on the lookout for a good deal on 10W-30 synthetic though.

[JfuckinC]

libtech skunk ape and burton cartels
oh yah :love:

[natejj]

Got some very nice luggage from Bentley at Chinook Mall. A lot of there last year stuff is 60% off, I highly recommend going there if you are going to chinook.

Normally $21 per 4L jug. I have 2 vehicles, so it'll last me over a year in oil changes.

I did some online shopping today for aquarium products.. haha..

Decent prices considering aquarium stuff never goes on sale during the year. :D

Picked up a 40" Bravia at FS for 699, along with a bunch of clothes at West Ed. Seemed like alot of people stayed home scared of the crowds.

[SikAssR1]

I bought an ounce but didn't get a boxing day special though.

[e36bmw///]

nm

[TACO.VIDAL]

People stayed home because the consensus is that there were few deals to be had.

And thats what played out today.

Marketing is great. Retailers get rid of shit stock and ripped-off consumers feel like they got a deal.

[iceburns288]

Best Buy as usual did their shifty tactic of offering different prices online than in the stores. I was excited to pick up some House at 34 bucks (as advertised, opposed to $60) after driving uptown but left pissed and empty-handed.

You sure they just didn't get around to putting an updated price sticker on it? Last year I had a similar situation but it still checked-out at the advertised price.

[iceburns288]

I didn't even bother because it's happened to me before, but I'll call the store tomorrow. I've actually never had it work out in my favor like that when working with Best Buy :p.
