Some $60+ games going for $40.

Some LCD 40" TV for $500

[Phenix]

[Zewind]

All the flyers of merchants that have released theirs will be highlighted

[Team_Mclaren]

I think the walmart ps3 deal is just 1 controller and 2 games (mod nation and a greatest hits game i forgot which)

[big A]

I'm waiting to see who has the best deal on the Canon Powershot G12. So far it looks like Vistek.
If anyone knows of a better deal or advice on the camera that would be great.

Is it really worth it anymore when almost everyone has online sales? Last three years I've done all my boxing day shopping while sitting in front of the Christmas tree in pajamas while drinking Crown 'n Coke.

This year it will be a small TV for the kitchen. 22" LCD for $199. And maybe a new 15.6" laptop for $349.

Ive never done this before, but i plan on lining up the night before (after all christmas festivities).
*Not at visions, but theres a few stores in calgary with SICK deals.

[dandia89]

i remember working at sears, and we would just pricematch it before boxing day. say i buy the tv for $700 today, id just come in boxing day with my receipt and get the discounted price ($490) so i'd just get the difference

exactly. But the trouble is that some items are brought in for boxing day and that day only in limited quantities.

A couple years ago I was the guy on the intercom at sears and handing out free shit. People go nuts on boxing day for anything and everything because of the perceived value.

[Canucks3322]

So far I've seen the Toshiba 55 inch 120 Hz tv go for just under $1000 at a couple places....anywhere seen a 60 inch tv for under $1000 yet?

Also, who's going to Axe Music or Long and McQuade...I wondering if they're gonna have deals for Pioneer CDJ/DJM road cases....

[Tik-Tok]

Man, what a sweet deal at Visions!

Check out this flyer clip.

http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u64/TykTauk/onestep.png

I didn't see a model#, so I went today to check out which one it was, thinking it would probably be the IHT6000, as it retails for $500US, or more probably the IHT3000, as that the model pictured.

Nyyyyyope.

I get there, and it's a discontinued, REFURBISHED, model called "onestep" :facepalm: (so the model was indeed in the flyer, I just didn't think that was what it was called)

I look online for any reviews, and on the AVS forums, someone saw it at Sams Club in the US, in october for $100 brand new :facepalm: :facepalm:

[Muji]

Boxing Day sales are for those who simply want to get out of the house. Work a little harder and/or smarter next year, make more money and buy what you want and not what you are offered.

If you have cash in hand, a sale comes in time without the stupid line-ups and aggro of Boxing Day.

[Super_Geo]

Future Shop's online site has crashed... I was one click away from finalizing the purchase... fucking annoying!

MemX is showing it for 474 on boxing day

[HybridTheory]

God damn future shop waiting room...been waiting almost an hour. I just want to buy a tv dammit

[nykz]

My futureshop crashed, and bestbuy is stuck at 98%... for checkout.. Its been like that for the past hour now... :(

[Super_Geo]

Futureshop's checkout is FUCING RETARDED...

They don't have a field to enter your credit card's exp date. And when you hit submit it gives you an error telling you to put in an exp date.

WHAT THE FUCK.

[nykz]

You actually got through to the checkout? Its been saying Server Busy and what not for me... Never made it past the line.. :(

[Super_Geo]

Yeah apparently you could queue before 6PM... I got into the queue with 20 seconds to go on the countdown. But I wonder what fucking genius came up with a checkout site with no exp date... do they have a single order pushed through yet?

Haha I imagine there'll be quite the shit being flung around the office at FS once the dust settles from this one.

[speeed]

I've been waiting in line for the past hour... still haven't got through

[nykz]

My bestbuy is stuck at 98%, hasn't moved, this is actually ridiculous cause no ones orders have actually gone through. Futureshop is just even more retarded with their server constantly crashing and from Super_Geo's experience, I think I'll just give up on FS.

[dj_rice]

Every single year Futureshop and Best Buy experience the same shit with their online shopping website but yet year after year they don't do anything to implement no crashing and smooth easy shopping experience. Why?

Because they know you will buy it regardless of all their fuck ups. And if you don't, theres another 10 in line who will :rofl: :rofl:

[95teetee]

damn-you've got 4% on me :rofl:




maybe there's only one spot on the server for checkout and the guy's been hunting for his visa card for the last hour lol.

[Super_Geo]

They finally fixed it... The exp date field showed up. Got my 46in 3d tv :D

[heinz256]

For people who finally bought something off bestbuy, are you able to access your order history? Mine shows up but when I click on the order number it says "We are currently unable to retrieve your order. Please try again later. If you have any questions, please contact Customer Service".

I'm still at 98% :banghead: Did you check out yet? Maybe its just me...

[eb0i]

I finally go through. Entered the credit card info. Pressed check out and was sent straight back to the wait room....:banghead:

[95teetee]

Originally posted by nykz

edit- I hit the 'back' button underneath and when I went back to 'checkout' it went up to 95%.
woohoo:rofl:

- decided to try future shop- got through the exact same process, actually got to the order page, started entering my CC info and the browser froze up. Sitting on the spinning circle thing for about 5 minutes now:rolleyes:


edit-started an order at futureshop (just buying a spare xbox360, so since it's $129 everywhere, I don't care where I buy it) and went through the checkout wait, signup, order process etc. while I waited for bestbuy to move. But at least it's up to 97% now lol.

[nykz]

Sure sounds like there's a lot of progress coming along :rolleyes:

[spikerS]

When my FS queue got to the end it did this. Couldn't click a thing to proceed. Good thing it went through for me on the Best Buy website. :facepalm: :clap:

[speeed]

mine did that too, it eventually stopped and it's like frozen

[bituerbo]

eblend, bioshock 2 is $9.99 at HMV, and that's not a boxing day thing...

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Damn 360s are $130? I wish I had money to buy a spare ahaha.

[gqmw]

Is it just me or does it seem like there isn't that much good stuff on sale this year? Or the deals just aren't that amazing?

Maybe it's just that I don't feel like I need anything.

Same. I can't really see anything that I want to buy. Nothing out there I really need anyways.

[gyu]

I did an order with bestbuy and I think mine is frozen too, maybe from me downloading at the same time I'm not sure... what did you guys do when it froze?

we got a 50" 3d tv for 750$ at memexp 3 days ago, clearance, half off from 1400$

[gyu]

Wow that was stupid, after waiting for like 4+ hours and being stuck at 76% I just hit back, and I was able to check out right away all I needed to do was make an account. :banghead:

[pf0sh0]

I'm looking for a solid 32" for under 400$ looks like most major retailers have the same sony 32" going for the same price...

anyone see any greasy deals??

what's the best deal on a 1 tb external portable hd? I saw future shop had it for $100, any cheaper somewhere else?

[HiTempguy1]

Originally posted by rumeo

Futureshop has 1tb in store on the 26th for $59.99 and $69.99. Online they had refurbed iomegas for $49.99.

I went to dell.ca and got a 1.5tb western digital (solid name brand) for $80 shipped to my door. ncix.com and memory express also have good deals.

[Little Dragon]

Which laptop do you guys think is the best bang for my buck?

I'm not very tech savvy so most of the specs are overwhelming me right now.

Price range is about $600.
Would be using it for mostly browsing, gaming, media editing and school.
I've been looking at the Dell Inspirions but just wanted some more opinions who are more knowledgeable.

[r0g3r]

Hey guys,

I tried the FS website earlier and even after trying to put my credit card in, and my gift card in I kept getting "Server too busy"

It doesn't seem like the order went through. Then I tried it like 5 hours later and everything went through fine...

But I still haven't received any emails.

Did any of you have same experience?? You don't think they'll charge me for every attempt I made at ordering, do you?

lol :facepalm: such a hassle

I dont think any were on sale, just bundled with extra games.

I was going to buy some games/blurays online, but I will just go pop into walmart tomorrow morning.

[copynpaste]

best way to do it was rogers buy 1 get 2 free on all used games that started yesterday. Yes thats right BUY 1 GET 2 FREE! I needed a new PS3 as my current one is toast. Picked up 12 games yesterday at Rogers and traded into BB for the $299 PS3. Costed me $131 with tax.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Anyone know some sites/places that would have parts for a 2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT Limited?

[Weapon_R]

Anyone else in the market for a new washer/dryer set? Any really good deals? I don't know the first thing about them but I saw a set of front loaders marked down $1000 and thought it was a good discount, but I don't know what brands or features to look for.

[loweg]

Where was the washer dryer discount?

Amazon is also having a sale on new PS3 games. The selection is fairly limited and not as cheap as Rogers but I bought 7 games for $142.72.

The LG 32" can be had for under $380 easily, and it's probably the best bang bang for buck 32" on sale right now.

[msommers]

Anyone finding any good laptop deals?? Like i7 spec 15-17"

I got the last holiday bundle from deerfoot meadows best buy like 2 days ago, but now regret getting it since i will prolly never play it. Paid $315, comes with 3 games and 2 controllers (NHL 11, Little Big Planet, infamous). Haven't opened it, sitting in the box upstairs. Got the reciept and all. I am unsure if I want to keep it, so if interested PM me and I will sell it for what I paid for it.

[Weapon_R]

Sears has a combo for $999, marked down from 2k or so. Probably the best deal so far

http://boxingday.redflagdeals.com/index.php/flyers2010/image_full/1561/

On Visions, the Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD with add-on nav is $598.

Haven't been following it so I don't know if it was $1100 originally (says 'save $500' on flyer)

i noticed there are some okay deals on everything i dont need lol. Other than that, everything is either 5-20$ off.. nothing to crazy. :dunno:

[copynpaste]

alright im gonna try to score the 55'' Sammy LED @ mem ex tomrw. Its just too good to be true, i doubt we will see a deal like this for at least another year. LED + 55" + samsung brand for under a grand is unheard of.

[The_Rural_Juror]

It's not a super good LED, but alright for the price. FS has it for $1199.

[copynpaste]

Originally posted by The_Rural_Juror

well true but for the price itll be worth it. FS has 55'' too for just under 1K but its LCD and toshiba (which im not a fan of). Visions has 55'' vizio for $800 and best buy has the toshiba too. Id chose samsung over it anyday, entry level LED or not.

[lamp_shade_2000]

FS is an LG for 999 not toshiba. The 55 samsung LED is good but is only 60hz refresh rate. The other LCDs are 120Hz +

how much is an average used game cost? are they priced around the same as BB/futureshop used games?

[PulsePro]

Sony Style is selling the PS3 160GB Slim model for $50 off. $249.99 :)

I actually find the used games are cheaper at rogers then at BB/FS/BBV. Well for the promo you need to get the $39.99 used games, so basically 3 $39.99 games for $39.99. They have good selection too, its all titles from the past 3-8 months like new vegas, RDR, enslaved, nba 2k11, ac brotherhood, need for speed, mafia 2, dead rising 2, f1 2010, and the harder ones to find black ops, gt5 but they are out there.
