Appears to be legit... We'll look into it in the morning.

[silvermark]

Thanks. Anyone know for sure if this flyer is for ALL FS stores?

[ragin_pyro]

Is that BenQ 52x32x52 CD-RW good? It has 2meg buffer only..

Is that BenQ 52x32x52 CD-RW good? It has 2meg buffer only..
most cdrws have a 2mb buffer. theyre all the same these days anyway.

[Raxel]

Quite disappointed. :confused:

[squall458]

i hope all these deals are online so i dont have to freeze my butt off

[Future Shop Employee]

Please be patient with us employees on boxing day cause all our shifts start at 5am in the morning until 8pm at night...
15hr shift. :(

Hotest deals are definately the plasma tvs and the lcd monitors imo

[tetris]

Its better to shop online rather than to freez out at 6.0 clock in the morning.

[MrDisco]

wow. all that fuss for what turned out to be (as expected) nothing but crap and non-deals.

[AlphaTrion]

boooo... too many rebates...

[Sticky23]

Anyone who has bought online from FS on boxing day, could you tell me how long it took to receive your product? I don't want to order something and have to wait till late January to get it.

[LNahid2000]

looking at my order from last year: ordered on the 25th, recieved on the 31st.

[GenericGuy]

Appears the Canon G5 that was in the leaked flyer was removed and replaced with the S60.

[Balduno]

does anyone know if these deals will be available online in some quantities? i am wanting to buy the samsung dlp tv that's on the front page, but i dont want to go line up at a store as i have never done that before.

anyone know? what time do they usually post the deals on the futureshop.ca on the 25th?

[spike-spiegel]

The 7-speaker set Yamaha looks pretty decent but at 10 per store = camping out...

[takumi86]

lol thanks again for the hard work on scanning and posting up the deals!!!! aside from that, even though they said that it was limited on hdd last year. When i got there it was empty shelf....an hour or so later they refilled!! haha I was so happy. I hope they do that again this year. that's my experience on the hdd deal last year. as to others I'm not sure of.

-------------------------

on another thread... says 12AM Dec. 25 th EST.... so depends where u live .... those living in the west *SHOULD* see online deals starting at i'd say around 9-10 pm Dec24th....

so go figure....

as for deals available onine... they *SHOULD* be avail.... last yr most items i wanted to buy were avail online if they were posted in flyers... so i'm happy...

if ur REALLY DESPERATE to get what u want... i suggest EITHER:

1) go line-up and be the 1 of 1st 10 ppl in line.... :D

OR

2) be sittin in front or ur PC 10-15 min b4 ur official time online sale starts.... Dec. 25th 12 am EST all easterners....

although method 1 requires that u *MAY* havta line up in the cold, if ur the 1st 50 ppl there, u usually get what u want... but method 2 i'm presuming theres *A LOT* more competition... prbly like > 75% (my estimate) of ppl in Canada r shoppin onlin this yr...

so if u ask me, i'd go linin up early!...but always remember to bring lotsa hot coffee just in case of bad weather.... :cheesygri

[mahjongmaniac]

much thx to OP for takin the time to post all the pics...

there are some good deals... but most other deals i can usually get 4 same amount or cheaper during regular times in the year....

[chickenbones]

Where is the BFG 5500 Card? I don't see it. Is it the 128 or 256 version? Anyone know if this is worth the 80 bucks with rebate?

[e-man]

http://www3.telus.net/liquid_ice/cordless.gif .... :cheesygri

Nice cordless phone! Wonder what the corded version looks like.

If you guys are seriously interested in a cordless phone, I would head straight over to <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78 target=_blank>eBay</a>. I picked up 2 Panasonic cordless phones (2.4 Ghz) for like $60 CDN.

It looked like they were a store return, but when I got them, the only thing that looked out of place was that the box had been opened before.

Not trying to dis FS, but sometimes the better deals are already available.

[e-man]

Looks like that Benq DVD-RW is a single layer. Can't confirm, but based on the price and the pic, it definitely smells of single layer.

[midg8]

anyone know bout the Hitachi DVD Camcorder??? All other DVD Camcorders sell for $1000+. If this is any good at 650 its a good deal.

[cmge]

thanks for the ads... i cant wait to c the BB one.. i missed out b4 it was gone...

[ccubed]

Looks like the Panasonic DLP I picked up last week for what I thought was an incredible 20% off is going to be lowered by another 400 bucks for this sale..

Anyone have any sure-fire thoughts on how I can get this lower price? I'm thinking I could go online and order a second one and then return the first one for full credit (less than 30 days) but I'd appreciate any insight if there's an easier (and more reliable) way of doing this..

Thanks..

[eelfliw]

Thanks Hellfire for posting.

The ads confirm what I've been saying about the hyped FS boxing day sale .... Lot of hot air.

[TheReverend]

Anyone know the webid for the $299 Olympus digital camera? I can't make it out, and it's not currently on their site. It looks like the C-740.

My only shot is buying online, no FS near me where I'll be for xmas...

[Curiosity]

The sale starts online at midnight EST December 25th. We have two full days of Boxing Day specials and new quantities of doorcrashers updated daily and nightly at FUTURESHOP.ca. If you don’t get what you want on the 25th, come back later or on the 26th! (Big screen TVs and major appliances doorcrashers quantities are NOT guaranteed to be replenished on the 26th.)

From an E-Mail that I recived...

[gslice]

I was hoping they would have 25% off speakers like they have had for the last month or so. Oh well no business for them

[Toni]

Thanks for posting the ad! Only the yamaha speakers caught my attention.

[YLSF]

Nice cordless phone! Wonder what the corded version looks like.
.


Actually, I think this is the "base" of the cordless phone.... So, it isn't the wrong picture. It is a combo corded/cordless phone. It is pretty decent. My sister bought it about a year ago for a bit off the list price (I think I got her a PM at the time to Staples)...

I might try to buy that phone. It would be nice to have a "corded" phone with digital answer plus have the option of cordless. I am starting to wonder if all of these "wireless" signals are messing with my brain ;)

[eXpedite]

When a deal says, "Min x number per store" - if I'm online for the boxing day sale, will they honor the price or will it be sold out, or not available?

[Canadianpsycho]

When a deal says, "Min x number per store" - if I'm online for the boxing day sale, will they honor the price or will it be sold out, or not available?

Well, if it is like last year, they'll have limited quantities available online. What they seemed to do was have a set amount, then the next day, or later in the day, restock the items.

"Doorcrashers" usually have a finite amount. "Sale" items with have a limited amount that just keeps getting restocked. Most of FS's Boxing Day items are after rebate, so they still make good money, so they won't limit items like that too much.

[RFD-obsessed]

Thats a good deal for the Sandisk CF Ultra 512MB!!

Too bad I got suckered into a deal for the regular CF card...
Regretting that mistake right now! :confused:

Anyone know what deals classify as Web Doorcrashers?

[oggie]

The first page shows the samsung 43" dlp tv, but I checked the website, and it isn't there... Any idea the model number of the tv?

Is it a good TV?

[Viz79]

Quite disappointed. :confused:

I agree... Not many deals on wireless products. :(

~V79~

[justlooking]

I'm really surprised that there no good DVD boxed set deals or even good DVDs for sale.

The price for the Ultra II CF is quite good. It's too bad that there's too many rebates. I think it's enough to battle with people on boxing day, but then having to go home and fill out a bunch of forms?!

[dtcanada]

Thanks Hellfire
I couldn't read that rebate on that Benq Wireless keyboard on page 3.. is that $95Instant and 15MIR?

[baller]

wut happened to gamecube for $89?

[canrocks]

When they say "all is on sale", what are sale prices like for stuff that isn't mentioned?

[bluetroll]

i can't wait to laugh at ppl who line up at FS at 2am.

[pcguy]

Looks like that Benq DVD-RW is a single layer. Can't confirm, but based on the price and the pic, it definitely smells of single layer.

Yes it is. The only dual layer is the LG one being sold by Best Buy.

[boomie]

do anyone know who originally made Sylvania LCD TV??

[neotheone]

does anyone know if these deals will be available online in some quantities? i am wanting to buy the samsung dlp tv that's on the front page, but i dont want to go line up at a store as i have never done that before.

anyone know? what time do they usually post the deals on the futureshop.ca on the 25th?

yeah, the DLP tv is a pretty solid deal :-0

[dgr81]

wut happened to gamecube for $89?
it's still there :confused:

[aw124]

It's a 43" DLP.

Last years model :confused:

[saskwatcher]

Enjoy! I'll post BB pics in a few mins. Note: Pics are FULL SIZED. Not for 56K users.



thanks for posting the pix.

can you (or anyone who can read the fine print) post the model numbers and/or the webID for the digital cameras on the front page and back page?

thanks,

[dgr81]

I think i am going to pick up the sharp aquos lcd tv...awesome tv with awesome reviews online.

HDTV too :D

[neotheone]

It's a 43" DLP.

HLN4365W

true, but how many decent sized DLPs can you get for under $2000 ;)

[Kurtz7834]

Flyer deals are so-so but I want to thank Hellfire for the awesome job he did posting various flyers. Must have taken a lot of time and work.

Thanks so much. Hope Santa is kind to you. :D

I second that. Thanks for the flyers!

[Geologic]

Doesn't look like there's anything that great this year, maybe a few door crashers but I'm not gonna go stand in line for hours and hours for that.

thanksn for posting the flyers though.

[dealman]

Does anyone know about the quality of the BENQ Multimedia DLP projector and if it has good quality video. I think that it is a steal for the price but I never have owned something like this. It is showing up as $799.99 :|
Thanks.

[tmac0001]

Does anyone know what model is the kodak camera that is selling for 249.99?

[Viper]

Anyone know if that Norcent 42" plasma tv is any good? There's very little comments about this brand plasma out there on the web.
I was thinking of picking one of these up.. is 1999 for this a good deal?? :confused:

[monkey-boy]

ayieee what do you guys think of that cicero LCD... I really don't want to deal with MIR's this year so I'm avoiding the samsung... that and the 16ms rs looks nice ;\. Haven't seen it instore yet, and won't be until boxing day so I'm not sure if I should take the plunge or not.

[GenericGuy]

Does anyone know what model is the kodak camera that is selling for 249.99?

The web id doesn't pull up any product on Futureshop's website. It looks like a hybrid with the 4.0MP CX body, but the 5.0MP resolution. Probably a special order by Futureshop specifically for Boxing Day.

[Moose04]

What's the difference between the Samsung MiniDV camcorder $380 and the Canon MiniDV $600? What does the Canon have that the Samsung doesn't for the $220 price difference? Thanks.

[Devvv]

Does anyone know if Futureshop or Bestbuy will allow trade-ins?

I own a Toshiba Pent.4 - 2.8 ghz, 512 mb RAM and is planning to upgrade to a 3.2 ghz.

[Viper]

The web id doesn't pull up any product on Futureshop's website. It looks like a hybrid with the 4.0MP CX body, but the 5.0MP resolution. Probably a special order by Futureshop specifically for Boxing Day.

Its the Kodak CX7525..

but.. i dont think there is a 5.0MP one with a body like that. I've search the kodak website site and didn't find one that looks like that. If it is a 4.0MP one than this can't be considered a "door crasher" because staples is selling that for 249.25 and its not even considered a special.

[tmac0001]

The 7530 is the newer replacement for the 7525. The 7530 just came out this summer, I think

[tmac0001]

The 7530 is the newer replacement for the 7525. The 7530 just came out this summer, I think

ok i think i found it. 7530 has 32mb of internal memory and 7525 has only 16mb internal memory. I think that's the main difference between the two. Anywayz thanks for your help viper.

[Bandi1]

Thanks for the Flyers!!!

is the athena asb2 for $150 a good deal or polk r30 for $180 better??
which has better sound?? anyone??

Yeah, the base is corded while the expanded handset is cordless. Check out the Best Buy flyer. It's there too...

I think the Panasonic XR-30S receiver for $179.99 is a steal.
I believe it has all the sound quality of the amazing XR50 but no video switching. Should be attainable too, with 1000 available and no rebates.

I would ask everyone to boycott rebates as I have looked back and found I really got gypped on rebates this year.

[Balduno]

so what? it's a good tv and a good price. i dont feel like paying another $1000 for the current year's model.

The ASB2 is highly regarded and the price is lower this year than previous Boxing Day Sales. The last two, FS had the ASB2 for $199.

http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/1/3370.html

Ther aren't many reviews of the ASB2 but the smaller ASB1 does pretty well.

Sheeesh! So FS/BB went apesh*t over these flyers!?
I don't think the competition would have to try hard to beat these 'deals'.

I refuse to buy anything with the expectation of getting the rebate back from Future Shop. They are horrible with them, bordering on illegal if you ask me. Even if you have the product number, the FS code, photocopies, etc, they still will probably refuse to honor it. I tell the salesperson that I will buy the item if they give me the price less the rebate. Most times they do.

[company]

Thanks for posting, but didn't see anything worth getting up early :D

[Canadianpsycho]

so what? it's a good tv and a good price. i dont feel like paying another $1000 for the current year's model.

DLPs have a HUGE variation in PQ from manufacturer and generation.

Demo the set 1st before you line up just because its cheaper.

I still think anyone paying retail price (sale or not) on a TV they haven't been researching is nuts. You can always haggle on bigscreens, and quality from model to model varies greatly.

[(Bean)]

There is an RCA 100 watt DVD home theater system for $149.99. My question is will this be a decent system for my sister. She is far far from an audiofile. I am more wondering about build quality than sound quality - will it fall apart or stop working. Basically for the price or up to 199.99 am I going to get any better?

[rogue]

I second that. Thanks for the flyers!

Thanks Hellfire for all the work you put in sharing these flyers.

[sdahl381]

Does anyone have any idea if when the ad says that they have "2000 Chainwide" does that include store and online or just at the actual store????

I can't seem to find it on the Futureshop website, I own TWO of those cheapy 6 speaker setups WITHOUT the DVD and they are "fine" for watching movies. I find RCA = "ok quality that doesn't burst into flames after a year".

I don't know about the one in the flyer, but the thing you should check if there is audio in incase she would like to hook up an ipod or other audio device to pipe it through the 6 speakers.

[googoo]

"Does anyone know about the quality of the BENQ Multimedia DLP projector and if it has good quality video. I think that it is a steal for the price but I never have owned something like this. It is showing up as $799.99
Thanks."

The BENQ 6100 is a fantastic player, I paid $1200+tax AFTER rebate, and other than the price drop(that upsets me a litttle) I am VERY happy with mine.

-------------------------------------

Has anybody noticed that the Pioneer receiver has migrated from the BB flyer to the Fs flyer!! guess I'll be lining up at FS instead !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[impronto]

does anyone know if those polk audio floor speakers are good for 179.99? great price for the pair, but I dont know if they are good. the webid is also too small to read but i looked all over their site and those speakers werent there anywhere.

[movieking]

Futureshop has reduced the price on all of their iPods for those of you interested. The main page says all, but the 40G Photo that I was looking at has not been decreased, but the others have (U2 is $50 off, the $60 is $30, the mini are $15, etc)

[Drew_W]

Are there supposed to be deals somewhere? I'm not seeing any. Seems more or less like another of their lame "sales".

Is that the PT-50DL54? If so, what do you think about it? I'm trying to decide between that and the 50" Grand Wega.

I would ask everyone to boycott rebates as I have looked back and found I really got gypped on rebates this year.

I recommend going for the XR-25 instead for $199.99 from London drugs. this is a older model which is replaced by XR-50. its 6.1 Drecrete also. 600W. and has video switching.

XR-30 is the newer model of XR-15 (look at the RMS wattage. I know there is a debate on avsforums on how the moedl roadmaps, but judging from wattage, and features, the XR-25 is definitely a better deal).

[gflux]

$399 for the 20g ipod? They claim this price is only for boxing day? What a joke. That's how much it is at the Apple Store plus you get personalized engraving.

[mrken]

Actually, I am still waiting for two MIRs from last year's Boxing Day. :lol: The Aspire DVD player which doesn't even have a website, except for a LD number (but I believe a friendly member provided the e-mail address) and a Kobian rebate from TD.

The rebates from Staples and Compusmart came very quickly. It's just Futureshop... :confused:

As for the BenQ 6100 DLP projector, see if Staples still have it instock online in your area. If so, it will only be $754 AR + taxes delivered to your house without needing to line up and deal with the pesky FS salespeople (especially for larger purchases).


I bought the Roper washer/dryer package from FS (on page four of the flyer) for around $560 and now it is $500! Do you think they will PM it later in the week? Or should I use my credit card price protection? I dont' think the appliances will see out during the week. :cheesygri

Is the GE package for $100 much better? I dont' really trust the quality of GE, especially when Roper is made by Whirlpool...

Any suggestions appreciated!

hey guys, i see that there are a set of 5.1 altec lansing vs3151 speakers, they are not on the futureshop website, and i even phoned the store but they said that they dont carry that product.

thanks for posting the flyers!
i don't see anything worthwhile either
or i'm just in that phase where i don't want anything :)

[mattwing]

My home theatre system is all Polk, and I really like them. Polk is a respected name, especially their higher end speakers.

These speakers are the same price as the regular price bookshelf Polk.

so what? it's a good tv and a good price. i dont feel like paying another $1000 for the current year's model.

Not saying anything against this TV but I think it's actually 2 years old. I remember reading about this set a year ago and at that time I think it had been in the USA for a good portion of the year. Traveling cross border I've found on some products when Canadian box stores get them as 'New' they are already headed to 'Discontinued' in the US stores. Granted that's not always the case, but I've seen it.

[AMD]

Thanks a lot for posting the flyers! Very appreciated!

Made me realize the deal I was looking at on <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=28 target=_blank>NCIX</a> was very good, so I went away and bought it. If you are looking for 17" LCD :
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=12789&manufacture=BENQ&promoid=1051

I have seen some good stuff in the flyer... Well in my opinion!
- BENQ wireless keyboard + mouse for 20$
- 256MB USB key for 20$
- 1GB SD memory card for 70$
- Sandisk 256MB MP3 player for 80$

I have a question... does anyone have info on the Samsung camera featured on the last page? What is the model?
I have looked at the Kodak one for 250$ and it seems pretty good, but what about the Samsung?

Thanks!
Happy Boxing Day!

[hesp]

Awesome I just picked up the XR-25 for 170 plus tax from LD. Now to get some speakers!!!

I recommend going for the XR-25 instead for $199.99 from London drugs. this is a older model which is replaced by XR-50. its 6.1 Drecrete also. 600W. and has video switching.

XR-30 is the newer model of XR-15 (look at the RMS wattage. I know there is a debate on avsforums on how the moedl roadmaps, but judging from wattage, and features, the XR-25 is definitely a better deal).

[Rawker]

Is that the PT-50DL54? If so, what do you think about it? I'm trying to decide between that and the 50" Grand Wega.

yeah me too, well the hitachi 50V500, the wega 50, and the panasonic 50 dlp, i know that 2001 audio video has free stand, and the receiver + 12 months of rogers digital cable included which is kind of tempting on the 50v500. the wega and panny don't come with free stands however which could lead me to get a 42 wega or 43 panny but it's really hard to decide so i'm going tommorow to FS, BB, 2001 to check things out, see what stands they have and what not.

I was wondering about the Prima Q2716 27" TV that is listed in the flyer. Is this TV any good? I need a half decent tv for watching dvds and playing xbox for when I move out. Is this a worthwhile TV, or should I keep looking? I can't seem to find much info on the thing online.

For those that new about RFD before this year, what was your experience with products in the flyer that are not on their website? Do they end up on the website for boxing day or are we SOL and have to head outdoors?

I have an old computer that I could max the memory of with 2 x 256 Azenram. I don't see any reference to 256 meg PC133 memory... only 128.

The retail HD's only have a 1-year warranty right? I'd be interested in that too, but I think I'd rather pay a bit more for regular-priced OEM from a local shop. Plus no waiting for rebates or paying taxes on the pre-rebate price.

I have an older WD 100gb 7200rpm ata/100 2mb buffer. Looks like the only difference between this and the new 250gb is capacity and 8mb buffer. Will that buffer increase be noticeable? Also what about ata/133 and serial-ata, both of which are supported by my motherboard (abit nf7-s 2.0)?

Cache makes a significant difference when you're accessing the same data area over and over again. There isn't much of a speed difference between ATA133 and Serial ATA, but Serial ATA is the new standard and does work better generally (a dedicated channel, smaller wires, better overall design.. I forget the exact details).

I bought about three different hard drives from FS.ca last year on boxing day. I got one or two initially, then another when they restocked the website later in the day.

IIRC, they refilled the web-stock about 4-5 times throughout the day. I would never line up....that's for suckers. :)

Awesome I just picked up the XR-25 for 170 plus tax from LD. Now to get some speakers!!!

XR25 is definitely a good unit. It looks a little old school to me with a display that looks kind of like a cheap calculator. Still sounds pretty good though. I can't remember how much video switching capability it has. I think I read some reports on avsforum that component bandwidth was better on this year's Panasonic's than last years but it only comes into play for the highest bandwidth demands like fast scene changes in 1080i.

Are those retail boxed HDD? Is so, keep the mind the warranty is only one year compared to 3 years for bare drive (OEM)
You can extend it to 3 years if you pay 14.95$ on WD website

Eh, they're ok.

imho you're better off getting some MIJ Maxell's or Fuji's or even the regular Maxell's over BenQ but BenQ isn't the worst (like Memorex) imho.

The LG is better.

I second that.

LG and Pioneer are the only good dvd -/+ drives imho.

Pioneer are the tops but I'm not sure if they do dvd-ram like the LG's.

[Eluder]

Actually, the best drives right now are the Pioneer 108, the Benq DW1620 and the NEC 3500. LG is not one of the best, nor has it ever been, people consider them good cause of DVD-RAM, but IMHO DVD-RAM is overrated... If you guys want inexpensive, get the DW1620, great drive...

I second that.

Yeah, but its supposed to be $60 after rebates. Unless I have it confused w/ the one at FS.ca. Maybe the Benq then - I do want one in black anyway.

Hi,

Just remember that FutureShop offers AeroPlan miles. So, have your aeroplan number ready when you checkout.

If I remember correctly, you have to spend a certain amount to earn miles.

[codex]

How about adding that rebates are not valid until 12 AM PST? :)
Can someone explain this to me? :confused:

[suziecute]

I have never bought anything at Futureshop.ca before. Do I have to create an account first and then wait till 12:01 PST to add stuffs to my shopping cart?

[cmge]

hmm some of the webid's arent working... :( ... the onyl one that seems to work on my list is the 120gb HD and that OOS....

[Derek]

How about adding that rebates are not valid until 12 AM PST? :)

Do we know that this is true this year?

[Rehan]

Can someone explain this to me? :confused:
It means that if $300 item is discounted to $200 with a $50 price reduction and a $50 mail-in rebate, then the price will be shown as $250 at 12:01 Eastern Time. It won't be until 12:01 Pacific time that the $50 rebate will become valid, bringing it down to $200.

Futureshop's servers are in Vancouver, and the date listed on the orders will be for the Pacific time zone. So if you order at 12:01 Eastern time, the date on the order will be Dec 24, and the rebate will not be valid!

[suziecute]

I checked the HP 1315 all-in-one printer and they have none in stock, thumbs down for Futureshop.

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&dept=0&sku_id=0665000FS10045153&catid=10781&newdeptid=18

Edit: and they just updated their website, no more $30 instant rebate, just $30 MIR so the price is $99.99 instead of $69.99 as advertised in their flyer.

[JayPatel]

Do we know that this is true this year?

I was told at my local Futureshop today that online purchase rebates will be effective at 12:01 AM local time which is Pacific. Not sure if the message is consistent across the country.

[Canadianpsycho]

hmm some of the webid's arent working... :( ... the onyl one that seems to work on my list is the 120gb HD and that OOS....

THey'll all come up at 12:01, I'M SURE.

[Rehan]

Do we know that this is true this year?
If you look at your order history on Futureshop.ca or BestBuy.ca, it lists them as PST. I wouldn't expect anything different for Boxing Day orders.

[Beradon]

Can someone explain this to me? :confused:If you're in the center of the universe (toronto), just wait until it's 3am before you place your order.

[cmge]

THey'll all come up at 12:01, I'M SURE.
i hope so but this MIR thing working at 12:01 PST worries me abit.. :( .. can u like make the purchase and then return it at local FS and then repurchase it so u can get a new receipt so the MIR will work?

[Rehan]

THey'll all come up at 12:01, I'M SURE.
Last year, I think Futureshop.ca's clocks were several minutes ahead of regular time... So it may not be exactly 12:01 AM EST in the real world. ;)

[movieking]

So if you want a large ticket item with a rebate, you have to wait until 12 PST to get the rebate? Wouldn't that mean that most things might be OOS when it finally came, bought up by people who either didn't know about the time wait, or who just didn't care about getting the rebate?

[sukasem]

BenQ DW1610 is $49.99 already

[Ducky]

If you're in the center of the universe (toronto), just wait until it's 3am before you place your order.

and take a huge risk that the item(s) you want are OUT OF STOCK by then...=(

[dreamcatcher]

I was told at my local Futureshop today that online purchase rebates will be effective at 12:01 AM local time which is Pacific. Not sure if the message is consistent across the country.

Best thing is to look for price mentioned on the web page. If you can see the rebate mentioned at 12.01 A.M. then go for it. Logically rebates should not appear on the web page before they become effective.

Don’t bother hitting the refresh button, because you’ll return to shopping much quicker if you let our servers do the work for you.

[Absolute]

Online rebates seem to say December 24th, for those in EST or more east.

[Infamous1]

Barely made it to the shopping cart... then login to my account... then the entire site crapped out and I'm back on the outside looking in! Bah humbug! :evil:

[chris647]

Don’t bother hitting the refresh button, because you’ll return to shopping much quicker if you let our servers do the work for you.


I like how this page spits you back to the main FS page so you are no better off since it sends you right back. It's like an endless loop.

[Toni]

Don’t bother hitting the refresh button, because you’ll return to shopping much quicker if you let our servers do the work for you.

LOL. Finally, I logged in. Hopefully I can checkout with HK receiver.

[rookie]

This is just driving me F@ckin' nuts.

[cmge]

OK so how long does it keep things in your basket?

EDIT DAmn i lost the keyboard i had im my basket is now sold out.

At least I got my BB purchase in.
my BB went fine as well its just my FS is becoming a pain... >_<

[justlooking]

Future Shop website hit by Denial of Service attack!!
There's no need for worms...just say you're having a Boxing Day and your website can be brought down. Nothing like a RFD DoS.
Good luck everyone!

[tharsan]

schweet!! i picked up an X-230 and 100-pack Maxell CD-Rs :D

i still somehow feel strangely unsatisfied however... but i cant afford much :P

[Pavel]

At various times this hour, RFD seems like it has too.

[Balduno]

i managed to get lucky. i managed to get the samsung dlp tv i was so desperately wanting. checkout process from beginning to end, probably took about 15 minutes. looks like the site is toast right now.

got my order number so i'm happy. haven't received the confirmation email yet but that will probably happen in the near future.

now i'm off to play poker! have a good evening and merry christmas everyone!


UPDATE
got my confirmation email

[malbadon]

Made two different orders, 17 minutes apart.
My confirmation numbers are almost 10,000 apart.
That is a CRAPLOAD of sales in 17 minutes :P

Merry Christmas everyone!

I just bought a Panasonic DMCLC80S 5.0MP Digital Camera for $289.99, regularly $399.99. Here's hoping it's a decent deal as the reviews seemed favourable.

[dinesh_zee]

made 3 separate orders... all went thru!

That's because no one can get on FS Web site. I'm almost thinking it would be better to stand in line on the 26th. At least i won't get a "Page cannot be displayed error" in store.

[g man]

I guess the BenQ DW1620 for $109 after 50 MIR isn't so hot, eh? The number in stock has been stuck at 50 for like 20 min now.

[Curiosity]

At least you won't freeze your a$$ off at home..unless you have no heat !

[masterc]

FS checkout keeps going down for me too... crap
looks like i'll have to spend my Christmas cash at Staples... :D

[OnTheVerge]

WTF???

Stuck on Secure Checkout Page

[Pavel]

Yeah, FS's site is f%$@! right now. I tried to make an order, I can't. I am stil stuck on this message:

Time for another beer!

[eliteblaze]

what is everyone buying? nothing seems super hot

[Imiron]

It took almost an hour of waiting and retrying, but I just got my order threw for a new cheap TV, yaaa me.

[krispy]

It wasn't bad a few minutes but it looks like BestBuy and FS officially crapped out.

[zoro69]

Had the speakers in car eraly on, did the cart>front page circle for half hour, now they be one of first sold out :(

[morris_the_cat]

Got my order # for a Lexar 1gb secure digital card & went in to shop for more, then the site crapped out. I figured after last year they would be ready, but I guess not. Dam.

[puff_daddy_58_99]

good luck everyone, i'm off to bed. When I try and get into FS now it says document contains no data. before I got a sql server error displayed. man, they really didn't prepare for this!

Maybe tomorrow night's deals will be better?

[ryan123]

is the Athena Point 5 MIKII SE Speaker System for 400 dollars a good deal??

[Pavel]

what is everyone buying? nothing seems super hot

WD 250GB hard drive for $129!

[Fongolia]

HA, take that FS! I had a much smoother time getting on to the site and checking out using FireFox... hmmm. Anyway, beats getting up at 5AM on Boxing Day to stand in the cold and fight crowds. "Rush hour" on the internet just means surfing and cranking up the tunes. :cheesygri

[movieking]

Dammit! I had the wireless keyboard and mouse in my cart for about 45 minutes and couldn't get it to checkout and I lost it. Grrrrr....

I also couldn't log in, had to create a new account, and now I am locked out it seems. At least my order went through at Bestbuy

[JayPatel]

futureshop is back up for me...although it is taking multiple clicks to navigate.

[Aristophanes]

this happen to anyone? i had the items i wanted in my cart. go to checkout. step 3 the msg: item in your cart has been sold. wtf!?! i tried to check out twice and both times like this. now they are sold. X_x

[Pavel]

HA, take that FS! I had a much smoother time getting on to the site and checking out using FireFox... hmmm.

Nope, the opposite here. I had to close Firefox as I was getting better response from IE.

[J-Wo]

I picked up a 250gb hd for $129.99 (After MIR) which is what I was really looking for. But while waiting in the checkouts, I decided to give things at shot at bestbuy.ca in case I couldn't get things to work at FS. And lucky me, I got in on a pricing error for the 160gb hd for $14.99 after rebates! Got final checkouts for both and am only awaiting a confirmation email from FS. So now I'll have more storage than I'll ever REALLY need, haha. Could always return the best buy one but at that price why bother???

But I was also looking to pick up the benq wireless keyboard/mouse at FS for $19.99. Made it all the way to the final confirmation screen when suddenly it was yanked away from my cart. So I'm assuming it's sold out? I can't find the link to do a webid search so I have no way of finding that item again, and the site refuses to go to the screen for keyboard/mice. Oh well, I'm happy with not having to wake up early on the 26th! Merry christmas to me! Oh and to everyone else at RFD of course. :D

[aajjmb]

hey you guys after waiting 40 minutes in page loading... i picked up benq wirless
keyboard and mouse and also the 5$ cd burner!!!! don't worry lol it took about 10 minutes t load each page!!! good luck everyone and thnx to the original poster!!!!!!!! No stores this year!!

[krispy]

It's not officially Christmas until you're hitting refresh on your browser at 1AM in the morning ;)

[cmge]

i had 3 items on my cart (Samsung MiniDV, 120gb HD and X-230) and only managed to get 2/3.. >_< .. as i was about to checkout... it stalled for me severla times... then it tells me the X-230's are sold out... >_< .... guh... but 2 for 3 aint bad no?

[shimq1]

Has the X-230 in my cart, then I was trying to sign-in so I could check-out. It kept giving me an error until eventually the stocks were gone.... Is it just me that right now when I go to Futureshop.ca it says "The Document Contains No Data".

[fau13]

this site is very bad.. I first add benq cdrw but due to slow connection out of order.. this is shuit.. very poor site.... I spend 1- 30 minutes to place the order..

[Viper]

Argh can't check out, "Service Unavailable"
:-P

[shimq1]

Omg Wtf!!!! Document Contains No Data!!!! Do they close at 1:00 AM? So the X-230 are gone forever? Anybody else been able to get in?

[hesp]

how did you guys get the 120GB for $14?

[cpoole]

yep - thanks for the great experience :mad:

Find item - add to cart - try checkout - nothing - nothing - try for 40 minutes - finally get back to cart screen - now empty - now out of stock

futureshop IS up just totally overloaded ... lol ur guna have to wait it out

[shimq1]

The X-230 shows OOS online, but shows in stock in both the locations near me. Is that right? I thought the online one was for everything.

[RSD]

it wont let me go to shipping options

heheh that's okay, it was only my dad that wanted the keyboard. The hard drives were for ME, so 2 out of 3 ain't bad! :D

[cmge]

lol sorry man i think i got mine like 1 minute before you!!!!
man do u think it will go thru tho or are they gonan screw u for some weird online price problems?.. coz they can do that (i.e <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=150 target=_blank>TigerDirect</a>) .. its back to 89.99 btw

Omg Wtf!!!! Document Contains No Data!!!! Do they close at 1:00 AM? So the X-230 are gone forever? Anybody else been able to get in?
>_< ... i know i got the same error.... i hope its not.. :( ... altho in my area its in stock... so i may end up lining up... >_<

[RudeDoggy]

how did you guys get the 120GB for $14?
Mistake at bestbuy.ca. They put 120 gb hd for $89.99 before MIR. Then $75 MIR brings it down to effectively $15. But it's changed now back to $165 before MIR (so that it becomes $89.99 after the $75 MIR).

[zoro69]

Is the $20 nova dvd player even worth buying?

[zhewie]

Good Night. I probably will have better luck lining up for an hour outside in the cold weather on Sunday. :mad:

[hesp]

Web only Logitec Z560 for $99 bucks !!!! 152 left

[Pavel]

DONT GIVE UP! Things are better now!!

[shimq1]

For the X-230s, are there gonna be more stock in store even though its OOS online? And is it gonna restock online? I"m so desperate, I'm considering getting the Z560. I have integrated AC'97 Audio, is that adequate for these speakers?

[RSD]

OMFGOMFGOMFPGOFMGOFMGOFMGOFMGOFMGMOFGMFG
4 step 3 left
5 step 1 left
THEN THERE ****** SOLD OUT
all i wanted were a set of speaers

[Belfour20]

this is crap, I had the Altec Lansing VS3151 in my cart from the start of the sale. Finally the site comes back to normal, go through the whole checkout and when I reach the end, says the item in my cart is out of stock... now I'm pissed, wasted over an hour....

[cmge]

[movieking]

Anyone else's search function gone?

[Belfour20]

me too Belfour Me too

believe me, they're getting a nasty email from me (I suggest everyone do the same)

[cmge]

Anyone else's search function gone?
its been gone since 12:01 EST for me

[Viper]

WHOOHOO!
Finally got what I wanted

Sony 42" Plasma - Only 1 left!!
Harmony 659 Remote - Half Price, only $99, no MIR!

NOw I can go to bed happy! :cheesygri

[shimq1]

Yah, my search is gone too. Maybe that's why it's a lot faster now. Anyone getting the Z560s? There's a lot of stock online but OOS in both Futureshop locations near me. Where do these speakers get shipped from then?

[Gold Monkey]

believe me, they're getting a nasty email from me (I suggest everyone do the same)

I'm sending one to bestbuy, their website is supposed to be like their store. If i have something in my cart at the store it shouldn't just disappear like online. I want those fuji dvd's!

[JayPatel]

they've removed the search feature in order to improve response times.

[vaibhavgupta88]

wtf? I checked out, gave them credit card info, and hit confirmed, and it threw me back to shipping page.
Did my order got through?????
How do i make it sure?

[nb2000]

After 1hr+ of refreshing the pages I finally managed to finish my order for the Toshiba 44" DLP ($2699). 26 left. Funny thing is when I first placed the item in my basket (around 11:59 PM) it gave me a free stand (~$260 value), then at 12:00 AM it refreshed and said there was a mistake in my order pricing and it had changed the stand price from $0 to $260. Ah well I didn't need the stand anyways.

Good luck with your orders.

[Blunt]

Goodnight people..
nothing else to see..
Check periodically throughout the next days... u might get lucky when they restock.
Actually.. there's nothing much I want anyways.

[iustim]

WHO STOLE MY BENQ DVD'S FROM MY SHOPPING CART!..it was only 10 minutes and it went from 1 to 0.... :cry:

[eliteblaze]

anyone else get the samsung mp3 player?

[jasonl33]

cmon people, let me shop!... get off Futureshop.ca!!!! i want to shop!

[shimq1]

So they ARE gonna restock online?

EDIT: Oh wait, it says on the front page: New quantities of doorcrashers updated daily and nightly.

PS... A lot easier to get on Futureshop now, I guess a lot of people finished shopping.

[cmge]

wtf? I checked out, gave them credit card info, and hit confirmed, and it threw me back to shipping page.

[dre145]

lol i need to get the $5 Cd-r drives

[vaibhavgupta88]

unless u got an order numebr then your fine... i had the exact same error but i re enetered my details and it went thru and got an order number..
****, I didn't get nothing, and tried again, when the site was still recovering took 5 min., and it is OOS :( . Oh well, I guess I can hope for tommorow.
Or try best buy, I see their stock are much larger.

[Meekame]

Well after an hour and a half, I got into checkout....out of 7 items, 5 showed instock...what I wanna know is...it appeared to still charge me for the out of stock items which were door-crashers of course...does that mean I will still get them or are they going to cancel the out of stock items from the order?

[mahjongmaniac]

WHO STOLE MY BENQ DVD'S FROM MY SHOPPING CART!..it was only 10 minutes and it went from 1 to 0.... :cry:

--------------------

LOL... i mightve been me.... i didn't buy the last one but i bought when it showed "3 remaining" ..... next second when i refreshed to check stock.... it was already 0... :twisted:

lol....just wait til it restocks....

btw... HOLY CRAP was it slow at 12 am EST sharp...... i kept on getting the "temp. unavailable" page..... ! same with BB.ca website.... some stuff was just OOS in a snap second.... damn...

MJM ;)

[urameatball]

poor guys stressing over internet shopping...

luckily, I had nothing to buy this year :)

good night :)

[scarboroughjoe]

I bought a few things (HP 50pk CDR's, Motorola 5.8GHz phone, Logitech Z560 speakers), I did find that both FS & BB did some strange things...

Future Shop & Best Buy both pulled the Nirvana box set (regular $74.99, on sale for $59.99) off of their websites... I had it in my cart on the FS page but it pulled it out.

Also, I had the Nine Inch Nails Fragile CD (regular $26.99, on sale for $14.99) and it again took it out of my cart and put it back to the regular price.

I am just hoping now that they can't cancel things that I have already successfully checked out with!

[Aristophanes]

Got BenQ X730 but in French...but still usable!! Still some left! Hurry, hurry!

[mahjongmaniac]

I'm sending one to bestbuy, their website is supposed to be like their store. If i have something in my cart at the store it shouldn't just disappear like online. I want those fuji dvd's!
---------

yah... i wanted them BADLY too..... apparently i think they only had 30 online .... that was about 12:05 am EST.... within 10-15 min, they were OOS.... OMG that was fast.... i couldn't get it workin...... just showed a "critical error" page , even though i refreshed like 100 times....!

damn... so many ppl want them! i guess just all the ppl from RFD that want this is already enuff to getem sold out....

MJM ;)

[konfusion666]

mx-900 sold out, bah...

[DJW]

Pretty good deal on Family Guy Volume 2 (27.99)
http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FSM2047021&logon=&langid=EN&dept=13

Even sweeter if you convince yourself to buy two other box sets and get the extra $30 off.

[mahjongmaniac]

Got BenQ X730 but in French...but still usable!! Still some left! Hurry, hurry!
-------------

i wanted that too.... the ENG one.... damn....

just thought of an idea.... y not just buy the french one and within 30 days go xchange ur french one for the english one!.... that should work no prblm....

MJM ;)

[Manchungster]

mx-900 sold out, bah...

I had one in my cart and couldn't check out, It took me 25 of trying to get the website back and it was gone. God damn FS

[mahjongmaniac]

Is the $20 nova dvd player even worth buying?
-----------

yo man... that dvd player is ~$10 after all rebates... price error maybe???
can't go wrong with a $10 dvd player! however, its OOS now....

MJM ;)

[suziecute]

My order went through with no problem eventhough this is the first time I buy something at Futureshop.ca. I checked the MIR form and it said the rebate is valid from Dec 24 to Dec 27 so I went ahead and order. Eventhough it is 12:08 my time (Dec 25) right now, on my order, it said 23:08 Dec 24. Weird! They put the BC time instead of the time of where you are when you buy stuffs.

[mahjongmaniac]

I guess the BenQ DW1620 for $109 after 50 MIR isn't so hot, eh? The number in stock has been stuck at 50 for like 20 min now.
-----------------

um... do u check ur recent FS flyer??? FYI, last week (i think), it was on sale for $79.99 after $50 MIR....

MJM ;)

[Nismo]

is the Logitech Z560 Computer Speakers at a good price 99.99$ ??

[clone]

Online rebates seem to say December 24th, for those in EST or more east.
Rebate form needs Order date Dec 25. If you order now, your order will show Order dated Dec 24 23:10. Good luck if you can get your rebate cheque with order dated Dec 24. Better wait till midnight PST, i.e. 47 minutes later.

[Jesse]

is the Logitech Z560 Computer Speakers at a good price 99.99$ ??

I am wondering the same thing- I have the Altec Lansing ATP3 from last years BD sale- I wonder if this is a good upgrade???
any thoughts anyone?

[The_One]

Future Shop & Best Buy both pulled the Nirvana box set (regular $74.99, on sale for $59.99) off of their websites... I had it in my cart on the FS page but it pulled it out.


I checked out in time with fs. I also tried with bb just in case the fs one didn't came through. bb pulled it out as I went to confirm order. :evil:

[Nismo]

cuz i bought the z2200 from the last pm with staples. Wondering if i should get another set.

one more thing that caught my eye was people bought the pc2700 azen 512mb ram instead of the pc 3200 512mb ram ?? Why? they are the same price.

[dtcanada]

damn i didn't get anything at futureshop.. tried to buy the x-230 speaker.. had it on my cart.. but couldn't checkout :@ and when I finally get somewhere.. it's sold out.. sigh

[suziecute]

Rebate form needs Order date Dec 25. If you order now, your order will show Order dated Dec 24 23:10. Good luck if you can get your rebate cheque with order dated Dec 24. Better wait till midnight PST, i.e. 47 minutes later.

But the rebate form for my printer says valid Dec 24-Dec 27. Are you saying they are going to refuse my rebate just because they use BC time instead of AB time on my order?

Don't worry... Your invoice will say Dec 24 and the rebate is valid on that date, so you have nothing to worry about. :)

Hello,

I bought a Creative sound card from FS and when I was clicking on process the order. I saw that it was "Out of Stock" but it completed the order?

Would I still be able to get it?

[eelfliw]

Just got back from Xmas eve Mass.

Looks like the FS site is up and running fast.

Lots of excitement here. Heh heh heh. The posts are funny!

Ok, thanks. I was worry they will reject my MIR. This is the first time I buy electronics online and frankly, it beats freezing your ass off waiting in line :) It is going to be -20C on Boxing Day and no way in hell I'm standing in line at 5am (Futureshop in Edmonton opens at 6am on Dec 26). This afternoon, I was trying to see if I could price match at London Drugs for the same printer on Boxing Day but the guy said they don't do price match on Boxing Day.

Anyone else getting this error on fs.ca during the checkout process?

[DaWongsta]

If you read the Terms and Conditions, it says: "This rebate will be honoured for purchases made online at www.futureshop.ca starting at 8:00 PM Pacific Time on December 24, 2004."

But it's always good to double check.

Does futureshop pricematch boxing day deals on staples?

[mrken]

Anybody notice the price on this:
http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10023983&logon=&langid=EN&dept=7

This was $20 before, but the price increased to $50 after I had to reenter my information. :( Was this a price mistake?

I just bought the other $20 one. What are the differences anyway? (the $20 one is this: http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10044078&catid=10026&logon=&langid=EN&dept=19)


BTW, is this a pricing error? http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10055147&logon=&langid=EN&dept=10

I already have a set of Yamaha/Quest speakers.... Just need a subwoofer.

[konfusion666]

is the Logitech Z560 Computer Speakers at a good price 99.99$ ??

they're very powerful (400w) but are "only" 4.1. Meaning 4 channels and the subwoofer.
most people nowadays are into the 5.1 (or greater) speaker configs.

but with the price, you are getting an excellent "dollar per watt" ratio!

you should check to see if they get favorable reviews, my guess is they do since most of Logitech's other speakers are fine...

[aajjmb]

Does futureshop pricematch boxing day deals on staples?

i doubt it... im sure this wud be considered a "door crasher"

[VenomZeus]

they have the epson r 200 printer for 10$ more than staples, that's why I am asking. Does anyone know if futureshop's comes with the paper, enveloppes, etc...?

[supertrf]

I highly recommended people to "Sign In" immediately before you added stuff in your cart........I made three separate orders without error messages....

[aajjmb]

man do u think it will go thru tho or are they gonan screw u for some weird online price problems?.. coz they can do that (i.e <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=150 target=_blank>TigerDirect</a>) .. its back to 89.99 btw


>_< ... i know i got the same error.... i hope its not.. :( ... altho in my area its in stock... so i may end up lining up... >_<


:confused: what u talking bout lol it was one of their doorcrashers advertised in their flyer:P
ps i just got their confirmation email...orders been processed!

If you get the Point 5, you'll probably end up using them as your main speakers. I got the original Point 5 system a few years ago and they're quite good and the subwoofer by itself goes for $280.

heheh that's okay, it was only my dad that wanted the keyboard. The hard drives were for ME, so 2 out of 3 ain't bad! :D

Online rebates seem to say December 24th, for those in EST or more east.
Not for the Nova DV-P511 DVD player it doesn't :(

Edit: Never mind. Just saw the post about the terms & conditions.


Was it any better before 12 am? I completely forgot about it *again!* because i was browsing the Hot Deals and Contest forums forgetting about the Boxing day forum as usual!

I really want to *SLAP* the idiots who suggest boxing day forum each year!! :evil:

[aajjmb]

lmao lol that happened to me too

[DaWongsta]

One is a 2-hour charger, and the other (the $20 one) is a 6-hour charger.

I think all the good stuff is now Sold Out. I'm off to bed too. Let's hope they'll restock a copule of times during the day. I think this beats waiting in line, especially in really cold places like Ottawa. If I were living in Vancouver, I'd be more than happy to line up.

For those who missed out on the Fujifilm deal. Not as good, but seems decent. Same as the BB grand opening sale from before. Shows 100+ of stock as of Dec 25th 3:00am EST

[wpooh888]

Was able to grab a Ultra II Compact Flash 512 card, the 160 gig external hard drive from FS. Also, picked up the Sony DVD player for $99 bucks. The BB sale went through without a problem about 5-10 minutes after midnight. My futureshop items were "stuck" on the "Complete Order" button for roughly 20 minutes and I thought I was SOL. All of a sudden I received an E-Mail at 12:55 (Before the confirmation from BB) from FS and the order went through :cheesygri .

[DennyTang]

Sorry my mistake! 560 but still really cheap for 400 RMS speakers. Feel bad for buying my $80 logitech x-something speakers. $20 more and I can get something way better.

[Infamous1]

I bought 3 things, you guys think they are good deals? Some other speakers/receivers were sold out but I think I have good savings on these.

1. Panasonic SAXR30S Dolby Digital Receiver

I bought this at FS before they sold out for around $190.
Best Buy has it on sale for $250 while the regular price is over $340.

2. JBL SCS136SI Home Theatre Package

Bought this for $299 at Best Buy.
At FS it's on sale for $449 and regular $549!!

3. Logitech Z560 Computer Speakers

These are awesome at$99.99. looks like under 10 left as I type this.

Yes, I think so too. FS moved them to the front doorcrasher page so I think they're being discovered much quicker.

As tempting as the Z-560's are, I'm holding out for a free shipping deal from TD to get the $230 Logitech Z-680's and go digital instead <got my fingers crossed REALLY HARD, hoping for a free shipping offer!>.

To add my gripes about FS' Boxing Day sales: 1) site was nearly unusable, 2) anything I might have had a passing fancy for sold out way too fast, and 3) lots of stuff I wanted didn't get reduced at all. Certainly not a memorable Boxing Day sale, that's for sure.

I'm hoping for free shipping too, cost around $55 just to ship those z680.
So until they do have free shipping, I'll have the z560 in the mean time.

Don't worry, FS will restock those sold-out doorcrashers sometime in the next 48 hours!

Very good choice, I was considering that one too before settling with the Sony due to space issues.
I went onto the site at 11:00 CST and there was only 10 of those plasma's available.. I was surprised at the low number available and even more surprised that they went OOS within 1.5 hours.. definitely glad I picked it up at the beginning of the sale, all my buddies were telling me that they'll never sell out due to the hefty price tag.. hah! ;)
Now I hope it'll get here sooner than the 3-week estimate they were giving.

[Ch28]

Looks like the Panasonic DLP I picked up last week for what I thought was an incredible 20% off is going to be lowered by another 400 bucks for this sale..

Anyone have any sure-fire thoughts on how I can get this lower price? I'm thinking I could go online and order a second one and then return the first one for full credit (less than 30 days) but I'd appreciate any insight if there's an easier (and more reliable) way of doing this..

Thanks..

Just bring your receipt into Futureshop on the 28th or 29th and show them your reciept along with the boxing day price and they'll most likely price match it.

Just to be on the safe side I'd just go in on Boxing Day and talk to one of the managers about it.

[Balduno]

yeah there should be 30 day price protection on it.

That's assuming the boxing day prices are extended after the 26th. As a general rule items on boxing day are usually one time specials after which the prices go back up.

That's exactly why I said he should go into FS on Boxing Day to do it. They might say it's too busy to do a price match or whatever...best thing to do is to not let down your position. Make a scene if you need to because it's not fair to get jipped $400 because of a "one day special sale"

A quick heads up - BenQ X730 Wireless Keyboard And Mouse is back in stock.

[Rammy]

Damit I hate being 15, no credit card....Look at my luck, wake up this morning and see that they re-stocked both speakers and some other things, to bad I can't order them :(

Rammy,
What other stuff are you talking about being back in stock? just curious. I just picked up the Wireless Keyboard And Mouse, as well as the computer speakers.

[gregv]

1 GB SD card back in stock for 79.99 after mir.

Took me 15 secs to purchase one this morning.
Last night had it in my cart for 1 hour and unable to check out before it sold out.

Panny Receiver: Last year's models were 15, 25, 45. This year's models are 30, 50, 70.

You can get the 25 (mid model) for a few bucks more than the 30 (entry model) at London Drugs for $199. The 25 is 6.1 the 30 is only 5.1.

I was also looking at the JBLs. Didn't really read any good reviews on them. Got the Athenas for $399, regulary $999 (Its $499 on FS.ca now). I must admit, I like the looks and size of the JBL more, but in the end, sound is more important.

If anybody cares, PCVillage on the 26th (@ Markham&Downtown locations), first 10 customers will receive a free Samsung CDRW along with their purchase on that day; beside the CD writer thing, I don't see anything cheap there...

Tried to buy a kingston 1gb usb flash drive last night, had it in my cart, but couldn't checkout, ditto with the 512mb version, now its all sold out. I think FS does this on purpose, to tease you , and then make you go to the store.

[Gordon]

Hey will futureshop be open at 12:01?

[eliteblaze]

print of visa's zero liability claim from the issuing bank's website. heh. and offer to pay them in advance, in effect they're getting a interest free loan for up to 60 days

my parents were cool with ordering on the internet. they rather not get their car scratched in the parking lot. :)

My parents are the kind : "Buying on the internet is dangerous, what happens if we get scammed, what happens if somebody steals our number and buys 50000$ worth of stuff, who's gona pay that " It was hard enough to get the number to subscribe to XBL(they were not even gona charge the card)....Muh, i'll just freeze my ass off tomorrow with a friend...

[Canadianpsycho]

Welp, FS just added a different Harmony remote for the same price as the 659.... The 768, which apparently has a TV listing feature, but looks like a fisher price toy.

Anyone know if it has any significant benefit aside from the guide? Thanks.

noooooooo i missed it... >_< .. i knew i shouldnt have slept... -_-

THIS IS SCREWED UP!

I ordered the DVD player for $19.99 after rebate. The problem is that the rebate did not start until 3 hours after the sale started. The sale started at 12:01 EST, but the ordering computers are on PST. So, the DVD player i ordered after the sale started says i ordered it at 21:00 PST on December 24th, but the rebate does not start until the 25th.

Now how do i get the rebate? The rebate should not have been on the site and the DVD player should not have said "$19.99 after $10.00 mail in rebate" if the rebate was not valid.

I suggest that everyone check what day it says they ordered, by checking the order status, aqnd then check what day the rebate started.

Same problem last year. Just re-order. Last year, as I recall, they were pretty explicit about what time the rebates started. Guess they didn't do that this year. Anyways, just keep checking every few hours. Probably re-stock it later on.

I thought they fixed this by changing all the MIR to Dec 24. I think you are screwed in this case.

Check the terms and conditions of the rebate form "This rebate will be honoured for purchases made online at www.futureshop.ca starting 8:00 Pm Pacific Time on December 24, 2004." You should be fine.

nothing like actually READING the rebate before you flip out bahahhahahha

You should be able to repurchase at the store with the 20% off discount gift cards. If the newbie cashier refuses, tell the manager that you will return all your purchases if they don't let you pay with GC. :razz:

You can't if you have a store gift card. Sucks. Otherwise we could save an additional 20% off purchases :(

My parents are the kind : "Buying on the internet is dangerous, what happens if we get scammed, what happens if somebody steals our number and buys 50000$ worth of stuff, who's gona pay that ".

Your parents are newbies.

You could try to explain to them that there is basically 100% protection in such a case and as long as they still have the credit card in their possesion - all fraudulent charges would be reversed.

Do they ever use a CC in a restaurant? That's 100 times more risky than dealing with a reputable online dealer. Even then - they are well protected in Canada.

You should be able to repurchase at the store with the 20% off discount gift cards. If the newbie cashier refuses, tell the manager that you will return all your purchases if they don't let you pay with GC. :razz:
Nah, the hassle of trying to return something during the holiday season is not worth it. Expect to wait in the long line for at least an hour! Of course, if you just got a new Nintendo DS or something that could occupy the time while you wait in line, maybe then I'd say go for it. I remember when I bought a copy of StarWars Ep 1 two years ago ... tried to return it for weeks. Ended up having to sell to my coworker :(

[JJJ]

Anyone know the media code on the benq dvd-rs?

Since they're currently OOS, I had some time to do a little more research. Looks like they're these:

I think the specs are wrong on the FS website, because if you take the part numbers of each, the one that ends with E is the elite version which is much faster, if you check on the kingston website. So you should get the one that says 14mbps with part number KUSBDTE/512 , which is elite.

BenQ 200-Pack 4X 4.7GB DVD-R
or
BenQ 200-Pack 4X 4.7GB DVD+R

I just bought a DVD-Burner so I'm new to the DVD scene. Any suggestions? Any difference between +R and -R?

[snoopyben]

seems like benq has a bigger discount, but grab mitsumi if u missed benq, since their +/- are all wiped clean

[MrDisco]

are these benq and mitsumi any good though? for $60 its still quite a bit of money (not the disc price which is cheap, but laying down the $60 part of it)

[Riflem@n]

which burner do you have?

The Benq DVD-Rs might be Sonys, the DVD+Rs are Daxton.

[Riflem@n]

Mitsumi is garbage, worse than CMC I believe.

The Z-560 are all out again!

Do they restock at 9am when they open? Or when do they restock?

Another question, found out this morning that someone bought me the Logitech X-620's with $15MIR from FS. Would the Z-560's be the better speakers to have? Like, would I miss anything going from 6 speakers to only 4? Which one would sound better? I have an Audigy sound card. Thanks.

If you are planning on backing up movies, then make sure your DVD player can play +R's because most of the older ones can only play -R's. I only use -R's, +R's dont play on either of my players. But I think for data backups +R's might be the way to go, not sure....

[codex]

Anyone have any thoughts about the BenQ DVD's vs. the Sony's?

I just ordered the Sony DVD+R and DVD-R 25-packs for $9.99 each after rebate... maybe I should've gone with the BenQ discs (assuming they restock again)?

hmmm...

[snoopyben]

$60 is a pretty good deal for brands like benq and mitsumi

they are really the "cheap" prices of CD-Rs, consider DVD holds 6 times more than a CD

[DrkMnX]

which burner do you have?

The Benq DVD-Rs might be Sonys, the DVD+Rs are Daxton.
I got the BenQ DW1620 16X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Internal Drive.

hmmm...
The Sony's will be a much higher quality disc than the BenQ's - so it really depends upon the intended usage of the discs. If you're just doing some garbage DVD rips, then the BenQ's should be fine. If, as part of a back up procedure, you are archiving your personal files or business data to DVD, then the Sony's would be the better choice, IMO. In terms of readability and longevity, you get what you pay for.

If you are planning on backing up movies, then make sure your DVD player can play +R's because most of the older ones can only play -R's. I only use -R's, +R's dont play on either of my players. But I think for data backups +R's might be the way to go, not sure....
Keep in mind that most new DVD burners support bit-setting, either natively or through firmware updates, so you can set a +R disc to be of type "DVD-ROM" which will be recognized by a DVD player as that type. That helps mitigate the compatibility issues.

[Slimfast]

which receiver should i buy? the sony 6.1 or the panasonic digital 6.1?

[DrkMnX]

Anyone manage to buy the SanDisk SDMX1 256MB MP3 Player for $79.98 AR? Is this a good deal and is the player any good? Also, has it been restocked before?

[mrken]

print of visa's zero liability claim from the issuing bank's website. heh. and offer to pay them in advance, in effect they're getting a interest free loan for up to 60 days

my parents were cool with ordering on the internet. they rather not get their car scratched in the parking lot. :)
Why 60 days? Shouldn't it be a maximum of 31 days (a month) plus the 21-day grace period? The maximum would be 52 days. The minimum would be 22 days (since most transactions take a day to appear).

And just memorise the credit card number. Luckily, mine is easy enough that I even got the 3-digit "security" number memorised too. :cheesygri

which receiver should i buy? the sony 6.1 or the panasonic digital 6.1?
The Panasonic should be better for sound quality, since it uses digital amplifiers. Sony amps are not as good unless it is the ES series (according to what i have heard here and on other forums).

Anyway, I bought the A205 camera/printer bundle at <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=28 target=_blank>NCIX</a> but forgot that Fuji cameras used xD media! So... any deals on xD cards?

Hmmm....more guests than members viewing this thread (46 members and 52 guests). I really wish RFD required registration and perhaps a requirement to post before you could view the entire forums so that all the lurkers would be forced to contribute to the scene. But that's just my personal view (as my bitterness grows as I see all the Boxing Day deals get soaked up before I can complete an order).

Back on topic: has anyone figured out the refresh schedule that FS is using to re-add stock to their online site? Is there a pattern developing or has it been fairly sporatic?

I am off work at 7am Sunday - I wonder if the FS stores will have the Logitech Z560 Computer Speakers in stock- I woudl rather p/u and not have to wait for shipping? Any idea if they will have the same door crashers at the BandM stores>?

[JayPatel]

i beleive all chains are opening at 6am local time.

Here's a review on the Panasonic SA-XR 25.

http://www.donlindich.com/receiver.html

If you run 2 speakers that are bi-amp capable, party mode allows you to configure a front and back channel to each speaker, to get 200W a side.

These things can also be modded;

this Logitech MX900 Bluetooth Optical Mouse And Hub looks pretty cool as well - I think I may have to grab one of those as well.

the local flier here says stores open at 6AM, maybe its different for the east coast.

regardless if you aren't there by 6am you aren't getting the doorcrashers :)

If memory serves correctly, FS B&M also replenished some stock. I'm thinking of those WD hard drives they had last year. I'm pretty sure they were restocking those throughout the "Boxing Week" sale.

I'm gonna just walk into an FS B&M tomorrow in the late morning or so and see what's around. I got all my stuff already online but would love to use my gift cards instead (but not love it to the point of lining up outside at 5 in the morning :)).

[derevaun]

regardless if you aren't there by 6am you aren't getting the doorcrashers :)

so when is everyone lining up? :) when is a good time to line up, anyway? i want my stupid doorcrasher tv. ugh! its stock hasn't been replenished all day (30" toshiba widescreen)

So I ordered the Prima TV but I did not realize it had this useful feature:


Sleep/Alarm Timer - This feature automatically shuts off the TV at a time you pre-set, or in a certain amount of time (for example, 30 minutes). This is handy if you like to watch TV in bed - it saves electricity and can help prevent strange dreams.

Hey!

DO NOT forget about the free printer offer that comes with purchase of ANY desktop or notebook.

even if the printer is garbage you can allways use it as a disposable printer.

There are some killer deals on some cd boxsets which are $14.99. I think that they were not suppose to be this price, as only single disc music cd's were supposed to be $14.99.I know that there were some sacd as well, but some of these boxsets cost up to $300(I know inflated price, but still woth $200) I guess that futureshop must have missed some as some of the boxsets. It seems that all my purchases went through. Just waiting to receive them(I hope).

Yup.

I figure they must have meant to have had all CDs at $15 or less, and accidentally applied it to box sets as well.

Just a quick question. What if fs changes the price of the boxset even though I had already orded it at the $14.99 price before they changed it. Will they honour the original price that I orded it at?

They may or may not honour it at the quoted price but you shouldn't be at risk of paying more and I can think of three possible outcomes. The worst is that they just cancel your order. The best is that they actually ship what you ordered at the discounted price. The third option is that they cancel it and give you some sort of digital dollars as compensation so the way I see it there's no harm in trying. Just make sure you are ordering something that you do really want.

From personal experience, lined up a couple of years ago at BB. My buddy and I were there about 5:30 am. If I were a little more aggressive when the doors opened, I would've snagged my dvd player. As it was, I just missed. 6 am sure wouldn't have done it. 5 am is probably good for most items.

People in line at BB are supposed eligible for some kind of draw.

nice...thats a really good price for a retail box.

I'm so tempted to go for that, but I've already got a 9800 Pro and a TV Wonder. So I don't think I'd be improving my situation much. ;)

[wild]

yeah i'm pissed i picked up a 9600 aiw not xt for more then that a few weeks ago :(

[Xtremist]

Oh, thats just great...how about restocking some of the SOLD OUT stuff !!!
No kidding - I've been patiently orbiting back and forth from Xmas day festivities to the PC for nearly half the day checking on 3 measly items on FS' site and they haven't added new stock. *sigh*

Shoot - I didn't want to see that! Must...resist... :D

However, would anyone care to estimate how much I might get for my existing ATI Radeon All-in-Wonder 8500DV 64MB AGP with cables and remote, should I try to sell it?

I know it's not really on topic but any opinions would be welcome!

[RSD]

just like the pricewatch feature, they should have a stockwatch feature.

HMMMM
I have wanted a 9800 pro for a while now but have sat on the fence.

So do i get the AIW 9800 pro because its only $299
Or get the AIW 9600xt for only $199

I will use it for gamming quite a bit.

I have noticed people say not to get the AIW just get 980 pro

I mean why not -- The speed of the memory for both 9800's is all the sale is it not?? the AIW just have tv/remote and radio stuff ?

[gaurav_fhs]

Anyone noticed any excellent deals on any mp3 players or memomy/mp3 player combo?


Budget is $200. Need something that can actually beat my 1.5 GB Rio Nitrus (probably cancel the order at $175)


Cant see any though :(

At a price like that then might as well. Especially if you're gonna actually use the TV in and out stuff. I think the AIW 9800 PRO would be a good pick up for sure. Don't even bother with the 9600.

i believe that 1999 would not get you a very large plasma tv (correct me if i am mistaken) as they are far more expensive than dlp. go for the dlp, i think it's nice (again correct me if i am mistaken)

[Mike71]

Well it took FS long enough to figure out their mistake on the CD box sets. They have all been at $14.99 for almost 24 hours. If I would have known I would have grabbed a few last night. Anyone know of any deals on decent surge protectors on any online boxing sales?

[JayPatel]

Hopefully another refresh happens at 12:00 AM EST. Im pretty sure there was a midnight update last year as well

What is the difference between Radeon 9800 Pro and AIW 9800 Pro. I am not planning to watch tv on my computer. So is getting an AIW a waste or am I better of getting a Radeon 9800 Pro instead?

[JayPatel]

one of the reasons why both FS and BB are getting worse than yesterday is that most of the public was not aware that the sales started yesterday so they are shopping today.

RFD is only 20 users away from breaking the record set on the 12th currently. thats more than we had last night as well.

[saint2e]

Oh man, I hope I can snag a set of those Logitech Speakers. Seeing as how 223 users are monitoring this thread, I can see how the site would be bunged up. We're probably all hittting it, as well as thousands of others.

[sstackho]

WiseOx, it doesn't matter if it's in your cart or not, once they're sold out, they're sold out. The cart does not hold the item.

Anyway, FS is so screwed for me. Not worth waiting for what I was trying to get. If it's still there in the morning, great!

[spawn582]

i got 2 items into my cart at fs but then couldn't log in... i copied the url for the checkout login page and sat there pressing refresh for 45 min before i was able to login... once logged in... going through payment was a breeze... sitting at my desk for that long sure beats waiting later today... now i can sleep in... good luck to everybody else trying to buy stuff at fs.

[dreamcatcher]

FS site is down for me. I can't even get in.

[saint2e]

I GOT THROUGH!!! Ordered me the Z560 Speakers! What a deal!

[scooter22221]

It took me a long time but when they finally let me back in and I got logged back in I flew through the checkout process too. Think they are kicking people to make sure that those going through the checkout don't get booted out part way through. I ended up picking up the Fuji FinePix F610, doesn't seem like it was one that a ton of people were after after it got restocked at midnight as there are still like 15 left.

I am pretty sure stuff will stay in your cart for a while as mine was in my cart for near an hour before I finally got through the checkout. Wish everyone the best. Now I just need to find cheap xD memory for the camera.

Don’t bother hitting the refresh button, because you’ll return to shopping much quicker if you let our servers do the work for you.

[djrhyme]

I finally got in!!!! After making some purchases earlier today, I knew that they would restock these phones. I bought 2 of the 5.8 GHZ phones one for me and one for my GF (YUP had to go through the procedure twice as it was limited to only one quantity at a time...OUCH!!)...Thanks Jaypatel for the exact web addy!!!

For those having difficulty, I suggest you use Mozilla Firefox as your browser. It is much quicker than Internet Explorer. Also see if you can get the exact web address of the item you want and copy and paste into your address window. Check out the posts in this thread for the web address... I'm sure someone has listed it.

All in all I got everything that I wanted from FS with a little quick finger on the keyboards. ...beats waiting out in the cold!!! :cheesygri

GOOD LUCK PEOPLE!!!!! :lol:

[RaynorWolfcastle]

yoinks, got my 1 GB SD card, good luck to the rest of you :)

[Drew_W]

Keep hammering away. Once it lets you login, it all goes smoothly...I think there's some sort of underlying queue process since pages load instantly when it's "your turn".

So I'm out for the evening. Good luck to you folks in your shopping. :)

[Sparkle]

As I tried in vain to purchase the Altec 5.1's without hitting an error page, I watched in horror as the quantity dropped from 40 to 7. Then from there, it's 6... 5... 2... 1.

At this point, I nearly gave up. In a last-ditch effort, I logged in to futureshop.ca using Internet Explorer instead of trusty Firefox. To my surprise, everything worked. After clicking that last sweet button on Checkout Step 4, I danced a jig in celebration.

Quantity for the Altec 5.1 speakers is now: 0

[urameatball]

is anyone like me?
browsing futureshop with no intent to buy... but just looking at all the products go?

Somehow, I bought a set of logitech speakers just from browsing so much. May end up with a hdd later tonight too.

[rogue]

Got the 200 dvd-r and the SD card finally... after hitting the site for the past hour....deleted a few other items ...after I thought about it while refreshing.

Good luck everyone !

[Miyake]

Keep trying guys, I've gone through twice now (ordered one of the 5.8GHz phones for me, one for my parents). You can get through.


anyone else just stuck at the login screen foreeeeever....?

[Belfour20]

Man I'm sick of this, miss out on all my stuff again because of futureshop's crap servers....

What's the difference between this and the french version? Will I have problems if i'm using english winxp?

[street_machine]

I have my items in my cart, and the site is working for me, but cannot create a new account and always get "An error has occurred while servicing your request. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. " any ideas?

[eliteblaze]

I bought it but then cancled. I couldnt' figure out why I needed to spend $90 when I already had an mp3 player that I use rarely. Meh at least someone else got to buy it =)

Anyone manage to buy the SanDisk SDMX1 256MB MP3 Player for $79.98 AR? Is this a good deal and is the player any good? Also, has it been restocked before?

[RSD]

for those that dont know the complete restocks are probably going to hapen evrey 12am and 12pm EST

[eliteblaze]

It'd be ~ 60 in this case because futureshop won't ship till sometime in January and won't charge it untill then.

Why 60 days? Shouldn't it be a maximum of 31 days (a month) plus the 21-day grace period? The maximum would be 52 days. The minimum would be 22 days (since most transactions take a day to appear).

And just memorise the credit card number. Luckily, mine is easy enough that I even got the 3-digit "security" number memorised too. :cheesygri

i can't even log into the stupid page...I keep getting

has anyone gotten a confirmation email for orders just placed? I've managed to place two orders, but haven't gotten any emails. clicking on the "my orders" button is just a recipe for hilarity.

Why is are the BenQ 200-Pack 4X 4.7GB DVD+R being snatched up before the BenQ 200-Pack 4X 4.7GB DVD-R? Are they better? If so I'm gonna cancel my order for the DVD-R.

[Riflem@n]

DVD+Rs have bitsetting, so they may be more compatible with your DVD player. +/- are pretty much a personal preference thing, some people choose one or the other because their DVD burner can burn those DVDs better.

[felix]

Wow ... after 1.5 hours of this I finally was able to buy something! I picked up ... the $5 CDRW! yup, right after the site went fast again. It's funny because i had more than one browser open at a time, and I could succesfully checkout with the other browsers, eventhough it shows out of stock by that time. I still was able to complete checkout however .. and got an order number :cheesygri

Does this mean I'll receive the out of stock item too?

Also, anyone know if they restocked the BenQ DW1610 (Black) DVD burner for $50 tonight? Just wondering if my "taking orders" order from last night will get processed.

[Riflem@n]

Not to mention the DVD-Rs might be Sonys, The DVD+Rs are Daxton.

[fl4wless]

anyone having troube loggin into their acounts? half of the items im having im losing, because it wont let me check out.

[Toronto Gamblers]

Pardon my ignorance but I'm brand new. I'm trying to make a purchase on FS and every time I click on an item and go to the check out it says my shopping cart is empty! Am I doing something wrong? How can I make a purchase? (I have logged in).

Alright, I'm calling it a night. My primary objectives were achieved. Good luck to you all in your efforts.

[fobtastic]

Alright, there goes 2 hours of my life. FS wouldn't let me log in, and all the items I had in my cart went OOS. I'm pretty certain there isn't a queue.

Edit: Now that everything I want is OOS, it let me log in. Thanks FS.

[d_chow]

Sucks, after clicking back and forth for a good hour, the item i want is sold out, so nerve recking to watch the quanity go down as you go from from the page of the item, to your cart, then error, and have to add the item again since it clears your cart each time there is an error. All i wanted was an SanDisk 512MB CompactFlash Ultra II Card for 59.99.

I've rebooted and still can't get anything into my shopping cart on FS or BB! Soooooooooo frustrating at 2am!!

Any advice?

Well, was able to pick up a 50 pack of the Fuji DVD+R and DVD-R tonight from BB. I had a BenQ wireless K/M combo in my cart plenty early and would have been able to check out but my damn computer crashed. Not much luck, and I can't even blame the FS servers. Does anyone know if that Labtec wireless K/M combo is any good? Can you use it with just the keyboard and not the mouse? I grabbed one of those as a back-up in case I can't get the BenQ one tommorrow if/when they restock. After I logged back on I couldn't get onto FS at all and when I finally got through it was sold out:(

[325i]

Well - 2 hours later I picked up the US Robotics router for $50.... seemed like a good deal!

Good Night!

[DrkMnX]

I'm suprised the Benq EW162I 16X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer External Drive for $119.99 AR is still available. It seems like a very good deal especially since it's external. I think I might pick one up, unless it's not that hot of a deal. Any suggestions?

Lucky duck :p With the Celeron for $280 a - spindle are the last things on my to do list for the sale.

I have the K/M combo from Labtec - works great - but I grabbed it off the shelf at Staples last week for $20 no rebate - they had plenty too - might be worth it to check it out.

so how do u go about getting the panasonic xr-25 for $170?

ok boxing day is bad bad... i bought that cheap geforce fx 5500 oc and the z560's.... i still havent even opened my z5300 that i bought like 2 months ago lol!!! grrr...

i've spent over 3 hours on fs.ca and finally managed to get the sandisk ultra II for 60$, even if it was marked not in stock, but there was still around 25 left, all went thru and now its marked as not yet shippable, so this i guess means that i've successfully managed to purchase it, now waiting for e-mail :cheesygri :cheesygri :cheesygri :cheesygri ,

harder than last year though, and longer wait

Just wondering...why buy the z560's if you guys don't need em?


I just got em too. I'm going to return the x620's that I got for xmas and get $75 back! I originally wanted the z5300's and was hoping they would go on sale again, but no such luck. I also hate MIR's!

Was this a wise choice? Will I miss anything sound wise by not having the extra one-two speakers?

I'm little worried that I may have made the wrong choice....this being my first speaker purchase since the cheap midiland 2.1's I bought back in 2000.

[Mike71]

Some of my orders changed status from "shippable" to "released" on FS. I assume this is a good thing?

[Jesse]

[QUOTE=JIS]Just wondering...why buy the z560's if you guys don't need em?


I have the ALtec Lansing ATP3 from the last years Boxing day deal.

I listen to lost of flicks on my computer. And my wife plays lots of tunes.

One of the main selling points was not that they are discontinued and $150 off, but the fact they have a headphone jack! I find this very convenient.
Plus I have listened to them and they rock big time.

Also I got out of gaming about a year ago cause I got board. But recently I picked up a copy of new COD pack and Pacific Assault so I am ready to get back at it. Tomorrow morning I am goning to try and pick up the 9800 AIW when I get off work at 7am.

Helps pass the time during the cold winter months.

just cause i dont need them doesn't mean i won't use them... they are a great speaker especially at the 99.00 price point. you will definately not regret it. these ones are even better than the z5300's .. minus the center channel of course...

i'll just add these to my z2200's and get 6.2.. i wonder if thats possible lol... a friend of mine even went so far as to buy 3 sets of z2200's to make a 6.3 (something like that) system when they were on for 80... wow LOUD!

For everyone who bought something on FS.ca, what does your order status say? All my items say "not yet shippable". Is this normal?

in most case, if you can confirm/submit your order,
everything will be fine.
"not yet shippable" means "back order" or not release,
I think. :)

I'm suprised the Benq EW162I 16X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer External Drive for $119.99 AR is still available. It seems like a very good deal especially since it's external. I think I might pick one up, unless it's not that hot of a deal. Any suggestions?

Where did you see the 1621 External?

[Neil]

I see the yoyo's running the site have screwed up the CD pricing now.
All the CD's that were 9.99 and 14.99 have jumped in price to 18.99 and up.

While you are all waiting for restocking, here's a pretty aggressive deal...

he told me he has a friend that works at LD so that is how he got it for that price...the rest of us arent so lucky!! But at 199 it looks like a great deal too. Im considering returning my XR30 and buying this one.

Well, it's 4 am here in Winnipeg. Did a drive-by of the local FS, didn't see anyone lining up just yet.. quite quiet out there. The stores here don't open until 12 noon tomorrow anyways, stupid labor laws in Manitoba.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

[Balduno]

you're right. my credit card info was swiped recently and someone made a copy of my card and bought a few things for themselves. i always watch people to make sure they're not pulling any tricks but at a restaurant, anything could happen. i'm positive that's where it happened.


Your parents are newbies.

You could try to explain to them that there is basically 100% protection in such a case and as long as they still have the credit card in their possesion - all fraudulent charges would be reversed.

Do they ever use a CC in a restaurant? That's 100 times more risky than dealing with a reputable online dealer. Even then - they are well protected in Canada.

Toronto: is TTC/subway on Sunday schedule today? starting 9am? wondering how to get to FS @ NYC ;)

[wysiwyg]

Yes, TTC is on Holiday schedule today. Starts at 9. They should really wake up and realize that this is one of the biggiest shopping days of the year (and people start early). Subway service should start at 6am like a saturday.

Anyhow, I don't recommend going to NYC. That new store is tiny and they don't have anough registers to handle the volume today. Last year when I was at Richmond Hill, they had all registers open (including those in the cell phone and Video area) open and the line ups where still huge !!!!

Anyhow it's 7am now and all the good things are being taken as we speak.

[wysiwyg]

Like like the FS site is down now. The openning of the POS in the stores must have crahsed the system, or their DB is shared and they now allow more resources to the BM stores...

EDIT: It's somewhat up, but deadly slow... :(

[Neil]

and of course the site goes down again

[Jesse]

Line ups in LONDON on Wellington road were crazy big - from the front of the store all the way around to the rear and then a big U and another huge line.

I got out of my truck and walked to the side of the building and said "FAULK THIS"

I bought the 26" one from BB last night before 12am when about 7 were re-stocked.

[wysiwyg]

The 26" at BB was a good buy as well at $499. Despite what they say on their site, it is HDTV.

Good move on cancelling the KB. You would have had a pleasant surprize ! It wouls still work, just some keys are placed in different locations :D

surprisingly, although its not related to FS, BB also ONLY has 1 more of the 26" Toshiba widescreen tv's in stock.. :lol:

hmm... I suppose I should have purchased that one, would have been cheaper... but 30" fits exactly in the space I want it to!! ooh I am excited.

FS purchases:
- benq wireless combo (ar)
- toshiba 30" widescreen!
- $20ar nova ps-511 dvd player (haha... i hardly watch dvd's)
- 5x $14.99 of $300 box sets (watch them get cancelled...)

now i can die a happy man. provided the rebates dont take forever and a half. KEEP REFRESHING, EVERYONE - good things will happen if you are patient.

now it's time to hit b&m for leather gloves (woo ripoff danier sales!) + the banana!

[Mike71]

Someone order me that English BenQ K/M combo if they restock it. Its 6:00 AM here and I need to get some sleep.

**edit: just did one more quick check and three were in stock! Now I think I got at least one of everything I wanted to get on Boxing Day and didn't have to step outside my house. Life is good(until I get my CC bill;))

[thesearcher]

That $280 Celeron is really popular. The Calgary and Winnipeg stores haven't even opened yet, and already the online stock checker shows them as being OOS in store. That was a neat trick, for whoever managed to snag them.

[meiji]

shoot... I just missed benq wireless kb/mouse again... I should add my cc to fs a/c before shopping

Oh, God, CC bill? You mean we're expected to pay for all of this?

Somehow, I went from looking at cheap 27" flatscreens for my bedroom, to buying a 30" hdtv widescreen that is better than my living room tv. I'm glad boxing day is but once a year.

And for the record, I also picked up 200 benq dvd+r (they burn @ 8x for me), xbox live+2 games, and the nova 511 dvd player.

HAPPY SHOPPING!

[RudeDoggy]

Just got back from a FS B&M (Downtown Toronto). I went at 8:15 and got almost everything that I wanted. They had lots of the WD 120 and 250 GB HDs (maybe around 30 or 40 altogether) and they had Sandisk Ultra II 512MB CF cards (maybe 10-15), but no Lexar 1GB SD card by the time I got there. They also had a lot of those cordless phones (Vtech and Phonemate - about 40 of them?), Panasonic microwaves (maybe 10-15), and that's about all I saw. (I was only looking for the 250GB HD and 1GB SD and 512MB CF.)

I live about 1 minute from that FS, so actually it was better for me to go to that FS. And it was sufficiently busy but there were no lineups and took less than 5 minutes to pay.



BB has the 80 and the 160 on sale I believe. (I was *this* close to getting in on those $15 160 GB HDs but by the time I finally got through the checkout, they updated the price.)

Hmmm, didn't know BB was selling the 250 for the same price as FS. I already placed my order online yesterday but I wanted the HD in my hand today and not in January, so when that order gets here, I'm gonna have to return it. (That's why I'm not so upset the Lexar 1GB SD card was sold out at the B&M since I already have an order coming in for that....)

I'm wondering that too. It does say that doorcrashers will be restocked. My guess is you'll have to try in-store. What time do those Calgary stores open, 11 am?

6:00am. Just got back from the store, it wasn't too bad (never done this before though, so no idea really).

I didn't stand in line, got there just in time to get in at the end of the line. Walked in, grabbed my PC, waited 25 minutes in line to get out, and was done. Kind of quick and almost painless. I don't think it was a huge problem because I only wanted one thing and knew where it was; if I wanted multiple things at different ends of the store I think I would have been in trouble.

anyone know if the 1gb SD card works in digicams? Or just card readers?

thx

[monkey-boy]

Well, FS in PG opened at 5am today. We camped out again ;\ meh -25C didn't hurt anyone. It was painless in there, before the place opened they went to the first 10-15 people and marked down all the bigger ticket items that were being picked up to reserve for them. My buddy got 2 of the polk tower sets and the athena bookshelves, left them his cc # when it opened, they carted everything out and we threw it in the back of the car. We came back in because there were a few other miscellaneous other things we had to pick up, but we were in and out in around 30 minutes just because we poked around and whatnot.

[tharsan]

holy crap, talk about a mob.

Went to Futureshop in Bridgeport Richmond BC.
DAMN.
People were flying everywhere.
I only managed to pick up a pack of CDRs and a Printer (Primary Objective Completed: Mission Success. Completion Rate: 70%)

Took about 50 mins to get through the lineup which went halfway through the store (4 line ups).

I wish I gotten the yamaha speakers though (Secondary Objective).

[MTL-TechY]

this is not a good deal
you can get a lexar 40x 1 gig on <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78 target=_blank>ebay</a> for a 100..


no offense noob, but this a is a smoking hot deal, for the quality of sandisk ultra II, i rather pay quality than quantity, and many others here will agree with me

The speeds are barely different.

Ultra II does ~ 4.2megs/sec on the D70, and 3.2megs/sec for the Lexar 40x.

If you really do need the 4megs/sec over the 3, you have the wrong camera.

[miss_swan]

Dropped by FS Coquitlam at 7:30am after work and picked up the 1gig Kingston usb key. They had maybe 10 left. Didn't ask whether they would restock or not.

Question: Logitech z560 - stil a good deal at 100 bucks? Haven't been following speaker tech lately. Don't know if latest releases are that much superior so as to cool down this deal.

All I remember is that when they first came out they were hailed as very, very good if not a bit bass-heavy.

One thing is for sure, i'm not going to spend big money on Klipsch at these prices.

Was at the store 7Am this morning...they had already let evreyone in. Absolute chaos. HAd the x230s in my hand, they had lots, but it quickly became apparent that while there were 3 cash open, the line snaked into at least 6 branches and I was in the wrong one. Someone had so much stuff pield ont eh floor he was failing to merge at the junction and evryone else was going past. Want to get to zellers/toys for the "100s of titles" $10 games so left...which was good as no one was there, but bad because nothing to buy. Should have stayed in bed : :( :(
