It appears that my <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=38 target=_blank>1and1</a> account has been locked for unknown reasons at this time. Please refer to the RFD boxing week gallery for your flyer needs. You may also refer directly to BB site.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have cause.

[mprielozny]

Hmm daytek 17" for 250 that is tempting, I had CRT daytek for over 3 years. and was amazing.

you guys think it will be available online too?

[RiFF]

The 19" BENQ LCD 12ms for $469.99 is a good deal. Too bad I just got the Dell 19" 16ms deal or I'd grab the Benq!

RiFF

[Elektronauts]

Darn... What happened to the $499 Pioneer receiver that was in the earlier BB boxing day post? Looks like they replaced it with a $699 Yammy RSV1400 instead.

**edit**

Weird looks like the $499 Pioneer now appears in the Futureshop flyer. Hope its the 1014tx. :cheesygri

[Kazaam]

OPEN AT 6AM

Damn them, just toying with us

[cawchy]

What time do the open in Winnipeg?

[prod]

Thanks, pics are better quality than that *other* post. Can read some of the model numbers :)
Im curious about that lexar 1gb mp3 player for $199, I cant find any specs. Looks like SD or CF card expandable. :?:

[LNahid2000]

i just got an email that bestbuy will have their boxing day sales online on the 25th.

[felix]

What's the model of that Samsung LCD for $399?

[Hellfire]

What's the model of that Samsung LCD for $399?

If you mean the one for $299:

Product Code: 10050730 / 715V

[GenericGuy]

Hellfire,
Thank you for the pictures!

It appears you cut off the fine print on the first page "Sale starts online, Dec. 25* BestBuy.ca"... what is the fine print associated with that * (which I'm assuming is a confirmation of the exact starting time.)

************* Never mind.... I looked-up a few messages, and notice somebody posted 12am EST Dec 25th (thus 10pm MST Dec. 24th in Alberta.)

Once again, thanks dude.

[Hellfire]

"Sale starts online, Dec. 25* BestBuy.ca"... what is the fine print associated with that *

12 AM EST

[coldWater]

any one know if the 17" LCD is 16ms or slower??

[Balduno]

thanks for mentioning of the time the sale starts.

does anyone think the samsung dlp tv on for 1999 will be available online or do you think this will be in store only?

thanks

[spike-spiegel]

Are the 50-pack DVD-R/+R Fujifilm for $19.99 a good deal? Not a deal worth camping out for but a deal at least...

[loho33]

Hey guys,

I'm loking to pick up a printer for the family, I have no clue what's the best deal. There's a variety in the AD.

I want an all-in-one, quality photo printing and something easy to refill.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

[mahjongmaniac]

What is "MIJ" "TY" "MIT" "CMC"? It's 5AM and I don't feel going through google. :D

[cmge]

wow.. thanks for the ads once again!!

[wju2004]

This is an AWESOME post - just what I was looking for. Thank you sir!

[Toni]

Thanks for posting the ads! Great job!

[GabL]

Anyone knows if all the stuff will be available online? Even those marked x amount per store? Thanks!

[Fobulous]

thanks for the pics! The Fuji discs and $80 lexar 1 Gig usb key look good.

[Fobulous]

What is "MIJ" "TY" "MIT" "CMC"? It's 5AM and I don't feel going through google. :D

i believe it refers to who the DVD manufacturer is... TY is taiyo yuden i believe.

[wanted]

Thanks for the pics, I really like the Compaq laptop on the front.

[YLSF]

Hmm.. So the sales start at 12:00 am EST on Christmas Day?? So it starts a day earlier online then in Store? (i.e. not midnight on Boxing Day but midnight on Christmas Eve?) I get confused some times by the times... is 12:00 am the same day as it is on 12:01 am? Or is 11:59am on the same day as 12:00 am


Maybe I won't go to midnight mass this year ;)

[RFD-obsessed]

You're a good man....and a great photographer! :lol:

I believe that 12:00am is generally considered the start of the day (rather than the end of one) and so in this case, 12:00am will be the same as 12:01am on XMas Day.

[JuJu5522]

Does anyone know the model number of the JVC MiniDV for $549 - can't seem to find it on their site.

[Viz79]

Thanks, pics are better quality than that *other* post. Can read some of the model numbers :)
Im curious about that lexar 1gb mp3 player for $199, I cant find any specs. Looks like SD or CF card expandable. :?:

It's actually cheaper for you to buy the Lexar JumpGear MP3 player with 128MB JumpDrive Sport flash drive and the 1GB JumpDrive Sport flash drive seperately. Most of RFDers got their JumpGear with 128MB for $55 with the Staples PM last month. The 1GB flash drive is being sold at BB for $80 after MIR.

thanks for the pics! The Fuji discs and $80 lexar 1 Gig usb key look good.

Yup, the Lexar 1GB JumpDrive Sport flash drive is pretty good, since they've been going for ~$75-$95CAD (plus shipping) on <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=81 target=_blank>eBay.com</a>, so $80 is a pretty good deal in my opinion. I'm getting it.

~V79~

[Viz79]

Anybody know if the Epson PowerLite S1+ multimedia projector for $799.99 is a good deal? Also, what about the Microsoft wireless optical keyboard and mouse for $39.99?

~V79~

[Mox]

I believe that 12:00am is generally considered the start of the day (rather than the end of one) and so in this case, 12:00am will be the same as 12:01am on XMas Day.

Ok so we need to know from someone who can tell time (And I'm not that person) does the online part of this start xmas day starting at midnight xmas eve?

Also 2 questions. Does anyone know if they usually put up any of the "X per store" stuff online?

ALSO, Can anyone verify if the toronto sun or star or G&M have the flyers?

[sanjayshroff]

In my opinion, dont buy this mP3 player. I have 3 pieces, bought at stooples PM, $40 few weeks ago ) Although the sound is awesome, and considering the 1GB flash drives also reasonable at <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=78 target=_blank>eBay</a> (the local stores r a rip off for lexar USB sport flash), but the biggest problem is carrying the gear around. The USB drive eventually becomes loosen, and doesnt fit well in the mp3 gear...one cannot keep it in trouser pockets without realising that it may be damaged eventually. I have checked out <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=77 target=_blank>eBay.ca</a>, and there are good number of canadian dealer who sell 1GB mp3 player, with builtin 1GB memory for $110 or so......Much better I believe

Hmmm...seems alot of people having problems with this midnight thing. So I'll try to explain:
midnight = 12am = new day or
midnight Dec 25th is the start of the 25th or
1 minute after 11:59pm Dec 24th is midnight Dec 25th

So if you're not in bed waiting for Santa on Christmas Eve, then you're getting ready for FS Boxing Day shopping. I hope that's a little clearer.

There are limits online, but I'm not sure if they're the same as the flyer.

I'd say the Star would be your best bet.

[Scorponox]

I can't see the Sony DVD player on the top of the page for $99 ...is this a good DVD player for the money?

[neotheone]

The 19" BENQ LCD 12ms for $469.99 is a good deal. Too bad I just got the Dell 19" 16ms deal or I'd grab the Benq!

RiFF

ditto! :evil: I picked up the Benq 931 for $485 after rebate at Canada Computers, and i'm stuck with it because of thier crap return policy. Man, I wish I would've just waited another couple of weeks, could've gotten the 937 for less :(

[dealman]

What do you guys think about the Sammy 42" HDTV Wide screen for $999.
Is that a good deal?

[cotye89]

Thanks for taking the time to take pics and post them. Was hoping for more sales on PDAs. Oh well.

[Hellfire]

I can't see the Sony DVD player on the top of the page for $99 ...is this a good DVD player for the money?

[JohnyM]

What do you guys think about the Sammy 42" HDTV Wide screen for $999.
Is that a good deal?
I myself am looking for a widescreen TV. Did a search on Sammy 42" CRT RPTV, couldn't find any good reviews. Sounds like it's an old model, I won't spend my money on that.
On the other hand, Sammy 42" DLP sounds like a good deal. Found good reviews about this one. Though some of the reviewers are complaining about noisy wheel in 4-6 months. BTW, lamp life on this DLP is about 10,000 hr. If I buy this one, I might also go for extended warrenty. Does anyone know if extended warrenty covers the replacement bulb?

[Viz79]

The 19" BENQ LCD 12ms for $469.99 is a good deal. Too bad I just got the Dell 19" 16ms deal or I'd grab the Benq!

RiFF

Can someone (Hellfire) confirm that the BenQ 19" LCD monitor for $469.99 is the FP937s! Thanks!

any one know if the 17" LCD is 16ms or slower??

If you're referring to the Daytek 17" LCD monitor, it's probably 25ms.

~V79~

[Hellfire]

Can someone (Hellfire) confirm that the BenQ 19" LCD monitor for $469.99 is the FP937s! Thanks!


Yes, the model is FP937S. Price is $669.99 - $150 IR - $50 MIR = $469.99

[company]

hmm, seems much better than fss', but my wallet was flat already :(

[rogue]

Enjoy! Again, 56K warning since these are FULL SIZED pics (5MP).

[wookie]

some very hot deals for people looking for computers.... I am sure that they will have service sales too that day (tech services that is) or at least some kind of bundled package with all the software and such that will be required.... looking good best buy!

hopefully the flyer for eastcoast isnt much different.

Usually thay don't cover the bulb (costs 200-300). If you can get them to say its covered, GET IT IN WRITING. Trust me on that. Most places won't cover bulb replacementunless it dies prematurely.

[bigknickers]

Great Post! Does anyone know the model number for the 3MP Olympus Camera that's on for $249.99?

[RudeDoggy]

Night always refer to the end of a day,
so midnight Dec 25th is the end of the 25th and beginning of 26th
Semantics.

The sale will begin at one minute past 11:59 PM EST on December 24th (or 00:00 December 25th). Now there is no confusion as to when the sale starts.

(FS, and I guess now BB, have always started their Boxing Day sales on Christmas day.)

[JS2K6]

Last year the sale definitely started on the 25th. I think officially it was "midnight Pacific time on the 25th", which was Dec. 25 at 3 AM Eastern time. This year it will be at midnight EST on the 25th. Feel free to wait until the 26th though. :cheesygri

[runamuck]

thanks4sharing the flyers~!!

[mahjongmaniac]

y's every1 so worried bout the timing... i think just knowing when it starts is enuff... theres too much confusion about the timing in this thread..

if ur that desperate to get a deal online, just sit in front of ur PC at least 1/2 an hr before 12 am EST.... that way ur *guaranteed* to not miss out on anything... isn't BCs timing 3 hrs slower than ontario's?.... based on this then yes.... sit in front of ur PC 20 minutes before 9pm (this is for EVERYONE'S time) and click refresh every 2 seconds... :lol:

oops, referring to FS.ca, not best buy

[scarboroughjoe]

Just a note that I just got back from doing some last minute shopping @ Sam's Club on Hwy. 7 & 400... they have the same Samsung 43" DLP w/stand for $1999... I don't think the Best Buy one comes with the stand... these tv's are really dropping in price...

[eBuddy]

Any other hot deals at Sam's Club? So far I have found that I can buy things cheaper than from warehouse clubs, and considering getting a refund of my $40 membership.

I thought it was 9AM PST last year too...

I remember how that FS Boxing Day thread got bloated to almost a hundred pages while people were waiting for the sale to come on. :lol:

It just displayed some weird message about the site have technical upgrades or something.

And then there is the conspiracy theory about how the server administrators were playing around with the power and reset buttons on the servers. :lol:

Fun times. Better than going to the store. :lol: WAYYY better than spending time with family and friends on Christmas Day. :lol:

We have no life. :(

[e-man]

For those of you thinking of getting the Lexar 1GB USB drive, Futureshop has a similar on sale right now for the same price:

Lexar Elite 1 GB - $80 after rebates (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10052216&catid=10485&logon=&langid=EN&dept=18)

Essentially the same drive but in a different package.

[dreamcatcher]

[pcguy]

What time do the open in Winnipeg?

12 Noon

[Quentin]

$99.99 for a USB2.0 80Gig drive is a smoking good deal, no?

Can't quite tell how large the MIR is, but it appears to be a $59.99?

[EDIT] now that the flyer is up, I see that the MIR is $62

Quentin.

[clone]

Boxing day flyer is up at BB website now.

[PeeBee]

Anyone know anything about this model? Is it a good TV? What about the Plasma for 2999 at FS? Which one is better?

[Spazmogen]

The only thing that caught my eye was on the back page (in Ontario).


$20 for a spindle of 50 Fuji DVD's is a great deal.

Purchased! No lining up for me!

I can't access the page for the DVD+R though. :(

You guys think the Lexar Memory key would be better or the Kingston one? Or would they really just be the same quality either way.

[codex]

Actually they've stocked up!! 548 available for the LG DVD writer now! Cool!!
Is this really such a good deal? You have to pay tax on the pre-rebate price so an OEM BenQ 1620 would be cheaper in most situations... and seems to be the better drive.

[GeeCee]

Once again for this page, pricing error for a 160GB hard drive results in $15 160GB hard drive.

http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFS10032598&logon=&langid=EN&dept=0

[Prometheus]

Guess there's no DVD+R's after all...

We are unable to locate this product in our database. Please use our Keyword Search (located on the top search bar of every page) to find your product or continue browsing the BestBuy.ca site.

Good thing I managed to get my DVD-R's :)

[CanuckGod]

Considering those -R were the only items I wanted there, this fries my bacon... I can understand if I got there late, or if everyone got them all in 30 seconds, but I kept watching the number go down and down while their servers tossed me from the Shipping Options page back to the login page, back to the checkout page, and so forth.....

[CanuckGod]

I agree with the queueing idea, it would make a lot more sense, and not cause them to have someone who will probably never want to set foot inside their brick-and-mortar again..... :evil:

hey! I was able to add the 160gb hard drive to my cart for $14.99 (after $75 MIR) and confirm the order. But when I went back to see if I could get the other one, price was corrected to $89.99 after rebates. So not sure when I'll get a confirmation email but what are the chances they'll honor the price I was given?

[robattoronto]

Placed the order 10 minutes before midnight, processed and done. 15 minutes later you can barely even refresh the same page anymore. Now thats how you do it boys and girls. :D What crowd? What server crash? :lol:

[TriggerHappy]

We are making updates to our online store. Please come back soon. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Ha....

But i got my order in just before that...

I hope it went through as i did not receive the confirmation e-mail, just the webpage but thats probably cuz of the server being reaped to hell.

[Mike71]

How were you able to place the order before midnight? Did you just have it all in your cart and check out when midnight hit? Just curious how that would work. I was lucky and started a little late but I think I was able to get some stuff I wanted.

[GeeCee]

Guys, I added the Fujifilm 50x DVD+Rs to my cart by searching for the item by category and clicking add to cart instead of clicking on the item and then adding.

Try this link:

[Gold Monkey]

ggrrrrrr.....i had the fugi -dvd's and the $15 160gb hard drive in my cart...got all the way up to the credit card info and it booted me back to the sign in page :o :o :o :o :o

[kqc]

was successful to add Fuji dvd-r to my cart, but when checked out, got the "critical error"... when the server finally came back, no more dvd-r left :( ....

however, managed to get the dvd+r instead ... :D

[Squeeky]

Ha ha ha... boxing joke sale. 48 spindles of DVD-Rs for all of Canada. 15 minutes in the checkout and bam sold out. I'll head to by local store thank you.

[Mike71]

I also got the confirmation number for the WD HD @89.99 before rebate. Hopefully they will honor that price cause that would be sweet. Although my printer ran out of paper so I couldn't print out the rebate but I should be able to do that anytime right?

**edit: Haven't been able to get on FS's site for at least 20 minutes,keeps refreshing and bringing me back to the 1000's of shoppers,blah,blah,blah, message**

[CanuckGod]

:cheesygri :D :cheesygri :D :cheesygri

For all my beefing in the last few minutes, I ended up getting a 50 pack of +R!!
This is almost better, the discs are either RICOHJPNR02 or YUDEN00T02, both of which will burn at 16x on my NEC 3500 :-0

[pcguy]

Looks like the Fuji -R's and +R's are sold out already.

Peeved off at Best Buy since there is a limit of 2 of these per family. Something they failed to mention in the flyer. :(

[wlee]

think i got one of fujifilm 50 pack 8x dvd+r, but can't check order status :cheesygri

[GeeCee]

Yeah. It'll be on the best buy website.

How ironic is it that I posted the mistake but yet didn't get to take advantage of it? Grr!

Oh well, I ended up getting the GeForce 5500, the 160GB HD @ 169.99 - MIR.. and the Fujifilm DVD+Rs. :)

[Rehan]

I could only get 1 per family for each of DVD-R/+R... Wanted 2 spindles each but at least I got through

[JayPatel]

great. now im getting the virtual lineup notice at Bestbuy.ca as well

Best shopping day ever!!

[Mike71]

Thanks, I was looking for it at the time but that was a quick link to a sweet deal. Glad you were able to get some things you wanted though. Anyone want to tell me what else the really good deals are?

[LNahid2000]

yay! ordered both fuji dvd+r's and dvd-r's. also ordered 100 cd-r's from futureshop as well as the benq cdrw from futureshop.

[CanuckGod]

Ha ha ha... boxing joke sale. 48 spindles of DVD-Rs for all of Canada. 15 minutes in the checkout and bam sold out. I'll head to by local store thank you.

Thing is, I'm not sure I'll be able to get up to the Best Buy here in Calgary, other side of the city, and I'm without a vehicle at the moment; lucked out and got it anyway :lol:

[wlee]

I could only get 1 per family for each of DVD-R/+R... Wanted 2 spindles each but at least I got through
1 per family, it's actually said on order page ;)

[(Bean)]

What a mess. They have flyer links leading to Futureshop. (try clicking a cd link) The bundle I want is not loading as a bundle - so I loaded it all individually - still all full price. This seems like a bust for me.

[Jaytee]

I was just thinking how the Best Buy site is holding up so much better then Futureshop and then I get this trying to the BB site. :lol:

am i the only one who wanted far cry? dont see much talk about it. it was a good deal right? also does anyone know if the city of heroes game they are selling comes a free trial subscription, say like a month?

[wlee]

great. now im getting the virtual lineup notice at Bestbuy.ca as well

Best shopping day ever!!
LoL :lol:

[pcguy]

I didn't know that beforehand. A firend wanted some so I told them I would place their order with mine. Having the notice pop up when placing the order and the site being hammered is not the right way to tell people that there is a order limit. It should be clearly indicated in the print ad.

:mad:

[spike-spiegel]

1 per family, it's actually said on order page ;)

Ya 1 of each is enough for me for now, I guess. Saves me money too... I wonder how many they will have in-store with a minimum of 64? 65 maybe?

[Jaytee]

Far Cry is a great deal, awesome game. Ive already finished it but for $10, you cant go wrong so I ordered one.

[Calmuser]

cannot find server on either site now. sigh oh well, didn't have the money anyways.

[uman]

Is Nero 6 Ultra edition at 49.99 a good price? (off $50)

[Prometheus]

yay! ordered both fuji dvd+r's and dvd-r's. also ordered 100 cd-r's from futureshop as well as the benq cdrw from futureshop.

Darn, only got the DVD-R's. How many DVD+R's did they put up? It was about 12:20am before I could get into that page and they only had 10 left. I put 1 in cart, try to go through checkout but checkout messed up and next thing I know, someone removed it from my cart...

[Wildfire]

I got a 50PK DVD + and 50PK DVD - of Fuji's from Bestbuy! I was so close to getting the $14AR WD 160gb, I had it in my cart, but I tried clicking checkout for ages, then they changed the price :confused:

[Gold Monkey]

Darn, only got the DVD-R's. How many DVD+R's did they put up? It was about 12:20am before I could get into that page and they only had 10 left. I put 1 in cart, try to go through checkout but checkout messed up and next thing I know, someone removed it from my cart...

same here, i saw 12 though

Same with me... I missed out on the +R's entirely and am kicking myself for it. They should restock at the minimum tomorrow night at midnight though, right? (...I'm hoping...)

[master_toto]

AAAAAAAAAAARGH!
Been trying to checkout for the past half hour!

[pcguy]

AAAAAAAAAAARGH!
Been trying to checkout for the past half hour!

Well if the items in your cart are sold out on the web site then so are the ones in your cart.

[robattoronto]

No tricks really. I just refreshed the page every few seconds. It first showed regular price with 0 units left. Then sale price with 0 units left. So I knew they were going to switch it on soon. The moment they did, I had my credit card and personal info already typed out in Notepad, copy, paste and I'm done. With a couple of minutes to spare before midnite. :D

[mrken]

Argh!!! I just finished my "family" dinner and I missed all the fun. :( :(

Not many deals this year anyways. :( What was everybody able to get?

I got my order for a stick of 256MB RAM and 256MB SD card. And that Mercury MP3 player for $20. I think I am happy for now. :)


Now <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=28 target=_blank>NCIX</a> and FS load!!! RFD is doing better than I expected! But then I thought they could do better, especially when I saw Derek's post about the flyers being on another server...

Anyway, congratulations to RFD for holding up!!! :lol:

[movieking]

Anyone else's search function gone at FS?

[Geologic]

fawk!!.. I wanted the Toshiba 26HF84 26" Flat Screen TV from BB for $499.99.. doh.. FS has it on sale for $100 more.. boo that. sold out at bb.. *sniff

Yeah, I think they messed up. I went in a couple of mins early to set up my account and stuff. Also wanted to get the product page setup. Lo and behold, my item was in stock about 2 mins before midnight.

[movieking]

Anyone else's search function gone at FS?

Oops...wrong thread. Too many threads opened on my computer!

[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.
maybe farcry..
but gonna pm at staples on sunday..
Harhhahhharhrhahahrhrhaaaaaaaaaa

[vtachy]

I want to thank Rehan and JayPatel for the heads up :razz: . I was simply going to wait for 9 PST but once JayPatel posted the price updates I kept refreshing until stock popped up. I prioritized the items I had to have and checked out after I got each into my cart. Boy, was check out slow even with already being signed up with everything setup a few hours ago. My first transaction confirmation showed 20:55 PST. When I got the fuji DVD into the cart there were 44 left, after multiple checkout critical errors I finally got through. (Makes me think of the Simpsons Halloween special where Homer gets cut off from TV in the mansion and goes nuts...) I double checked the rebates just in case and they were all fine for the 24th.

Personally if I had waited till 12 EST I would be mighty upset at how so many things would have been sold out or gone before checkout. :mad:
Once again thanks to RFD. Now to find some hidden online gems that weren't advertised...

[Canadianpsycho]

Good luck with that one. Limited # Boxing Day price? You better hope the Staples Manager is still sippin' the egg nogg.

[Mox]

Anyonhe else buy the JBL 6.1 system?

[h_alone]

BestBuy had a similar pricing problem with the desktops. The eMachines T2862RA desktop with the 17"monitor was 399 before 100$ rebate.
It's OOS unfortunately.

[JayPatel]

Finally was able to order the LG 16X DVD writer via BB. FS would not allow me to checkout

[mrken]

How much was the 256 SD? and where was that from?
Sorry, it was actually 512MB. It is $40 after some MIR. Forgot the amount though.

From my e-mail:
Lexar 512MB Secure Digital Memory Card

[IVNP]

Anyone got that GC game 3 pak?(Zelda, SC2 and......forgot what for $49.99) I didn't know they start this right after 12 EST so missed it along with the dvd disc deal.

[dtcanada]

well i got a wireless gamepad from bestbuy..

any idea if this is any good? the fact that it is still not sold out yet gave me a hint that it's not that great of a deal.. but anybody had any experience with this?

[suziecute]

I want to buy a digital camera at Bestbuy.ca but I'm not sure if digital zoom is better than optical zoom or not.

[NG]

I want to buy a digital camera at Bestbuy.ca but I'm not sure if digital zoom is better than optical zoom or not.

Optical zoom is always better however digital zoom (only) is cheaper.

[JJJ]

Does anyone know if the HP 80 Minute 52X 50-Pack CD-R for $13.99 is a good buy?

[suziecute]

Optical zoom is always better however digital zoom (only) is cheaper.

Thanks, that explains why the Canon 3.2 megapixel camera with 2.2x optical zoom is on sale for $199.99 while the Sony 4.1 megapixel camera with 3x digital zoom is on sale for $179.99. I used to think that only the megapixel determines the price of the digital camera.

LOLz if only life is that simple.. there are plenty of other things determines the price for a camera..

[Raxel]

Anyone got that GC game 3 pak?(Zelda, SC2 and......forgot what for $49.99) I didn't know they start this right after 12 EST so missed it along with the dvd disc deal.

When I ordered it, it was like 9:20pm and there was only 7 left. so it was gone very quickly.

[Daijoubu]

Indeed, a high-end 2MP can beat an el-cheapo 3MP :cheesygri

[Infamous1]

Anyonhe else buy the JBL 6.1 system?

The one for $299? I bought that one. Hope it's good!

[Xtremist]

I was considering the Rio Cali 256MB MP3 Player (http://http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFS10039382&catid=21179&logon=&langid=EN&dept=0) until I saw it only carries a 90 day parts and labour warranty. WTF? If they can't cover it for at least a year, that tells me that there isn't much confidence in the longevity of this item.

BTW, does anyone know if BB plans to replenish stock online at random intervals like FS will? I missed out on Far Cry and City of Heroes at $10 each and I'm hoping I'll get a second chance. I having awful luck tonight and that's compounded by the fact that there's just not much out there on these Boxing Day sales.

[Hut]

Will Bestbuy.ca restock their items (like FS.ca)?

[DJ Trance AZ]

I bought 2 Fujifilm 8x DVD media for $19.99 each last night @ 12:05am!! Before 12 midnight (like around 11:45pm), I saw they posted these and the status was out of stock. So I thought boxing sale began earlier :cry: However, I kept refreshing my browser and the stock was back in again :)

[Hut]

Telus cell phone has been restock at FS.
You should consider to post it @ FS thread.

[lurker99]

You should consider to post it @ FS thread.

I deleted and posted at FS thread. I forgot I was in the Bestbuy thread. :o

I have two of these that I got from Costco for $49.99 last week. They are a bit heavy due to the 4 AA batteries but everyone in my family prefers to use the wireless vs the one that came with the PS2slim.

NOTE: If you need another one, Best Buy has it for the same price.

I suspect that it's faster as well since my kid seems to beat me at every game now! :twisted:

[Daemar]

I bought one of the doorcrashers last night... this morning I checked my email and this is what I got from Best Buy:

"The in-stock position of the following item has unexpectedly changed and your order will be delayed. We are making every attempt to minimize the wait, and we'll send you a ship notice email as soon as the item becomes available."

GREAT! Sounds like DVDSoon... except I received a notice, and I didn't have my credit card charged, lol.

[JayPatel]

can anyone confirm if BB has replenished stock on anything? FS is already on its 2nd wave of refreshes I believe

[wild]

i have been reloading the media page constantly but to no avail.... for most items bb is not oos yet, perhaps thats why

[warpdrive]

I've been monitoring a couple of other items since it started, they replenish a bit in the first hours of the sale but haven't done since then.

Come on BB, how come you can't replenish like FS does?

[felix]

Optical zoom is always better however digital zoom (only) is cheaper.
What's the difference?

[JayPatel]

What's the difference?

digital is a zoomed interpolation of the image whereas the optical provides actual imagery.

think of digital zoom like how you zoom in an image in photoshop or paint. Everything starts to distort the more you zoom in, not the case with optical. at least in my experiences

[Riflem@n]

The Fujifilms are made in taiwan according to videohelp.com. So they may not be TYs.

[yackulic]

been watching a few items myself and no restocking going on as of yet......

[Riflem@n]

It says on their site that they will restock, so be aware.

[warpdrive]

What's the difference?

Digital Zoom:
You take a picture, then the camera crops (chops off the side of the image), takes the remaining pixels, and makes bigger. So things become more blocky because you are seeing fewer pixels.

Go into your Photoshop, Paint Shop or MS Paint and select 800% zoom, everything becomes more blocky. That is the same as what a Digital Zoom camera is doing.

Optical zoom:
You are magnifying the image first using the lens, and then the camera takes a snapshot. You are not losing pixels. So everything remains sharp even though you magnified the image.

Digital Zoom sucks.

[bodobodo]

The Fujifilms are made in taiwan according to videohelp.com. So they may not be TYs.

Not saying that the ones for boxing day are TY for certain though. Just hoping.
Those are the -R's. We were discussing the media code for the +R discs.

That being said, if one prefers the -R flavour, this is good information to know. Now, if one or the other would only come back in stock online, then I'd be happier! :(

160 GIG WD hard drive back in stock.. (http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFS10032598&catid=20240&logon=&langid=EN&dept=0)

My Fujifilm DVD-R/+Rs are now "Releasable". So hopefully they'll go into shipping process soon.

[Riflem@n]

[JayPatel]

no, thats a replenish. it was OOS earlier

[Riflem@n]

Bestbuy hasn't really restocked anything.

[felix]

GBA SP's have been restocked. Only the original colours are left though. $69 no rebate.

[Xentropy]

Samsung 43" DLP Widescreen HDTV for $1,999 has been restocked

[DJ Trance AZ]

I saw from CDRLabs; some people bought Fujifilm +R 8x media and they had Prodisc dye.

[lurker99]

WD 250G hardrive for $129.99 after MIR - 104 left

[warpdrive]

ohmidgosh, I got one of the fuji dvd+r's.

It helps to have your credit card info saved, makes it that much likely you'll be able to check out without problems.

[g man]

Gone again! Will they be re-stocked???

[Vancouver 1.7EL]

Restocked and gone in 3 minutes. I snagged a spindle of 8X DVD+Rs. :D

[JayPatel]

damn, those Fuji's sold out quick. they only had 30 of each i think.

[codex]

Restocked and gone in 3 minutes. I snagged a spindle of 8X DVD+Rs. :D
Got mine too! I was kicking myself for missing out on the +R last night! So glad I got in on them now!

And my brother (different address) snagged the -R for himself and since he didn't want +R he grabbed the extra pack for me!

I'd be really curious to see what percentage of these limited quantity items go to RFD'rs! :cheesygri

[Gold Monkey]

sweet, i got some fuji's 50 + and 50 -

[wild]

well i think between us in the rfd irc channel we snagged at least 5 of the -r's :D

[Geologic]

woo.. got my tv.. lol.. 10 minutes before midnight. All gone now..

[Wildfire]

well i think between us in the rfd irc channel we snagged at least 5 of the -r's :D
yep it pays to be in the irc channel ;) We hit it right when it came on and cleaned up lol.

[IVNP]

So they restock those discs again? Damn....What time tomorrow should I try? Any suggestion? By the way, they have a $9.99 creative webcam there under keyboard&mice section I think. Looks decent so those who missed Netlink's $9.99 web cam can get those. Still plenty of stock there but it has MIR though.

BB did not replenish the discs like FS did throughout the day. In fact I think this was the first restock since the original sell out last night. they only had about 30 of each too.

[vicvic]

is that just me?? I can't go to bestbuy or futureshop site now.. @@ are they restocking?

[teknobabble]

i'd buy stuff if I could log into my acct! keep trying people.. it's there - just be patient :)

[CanuckGod]

BB did not replenish the discs like FS did throughout the day. In fact I think this was the first restock since the original sell out last night. they only had about 30 of each too.

And I got some of them! :) As I posted wrongly to the FS thread, I learned from my crapfest experience last night, got in about 9:56 Mountain time, and got a 50 pack of Fuji -R ($19.99) and a 50 pack of HP CDs ($13.99), so added to the Fuji +R I managed to get last night (an hour after the sale started when I finally got that page to work), I didn't do to badly this year, and all before Boxing Day! (technically still Christmas as I'm writing here in Calgary)....

[sunshine1206]

Sigh... I'm about to give up here.. When I try to login or click checkout, I keep getting that evil VBScript error, even though I refreshed/tried like 100 times during the last hour and a half, both on IE and Firefox.. anyone else stuck on that error as well? Very annoying :|

Edit: Finally finished my order, I'm going to bed, yay

[mahjongmaniac]

dammit!!!!!! i just missed out on the fuji dvd restocks while i was asleep!]

aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!....

BB sucks... they restock so infrequently.... compared to FS, BB *REALLY REALLY* sucks.... FS restocks throughout the day.... at least for most of their products....

so let me guess next time restock on fuji dvds are prbly gonna be tom at least!

MJM ;)

[(Bean)]

Are there going to be anymore restocks - I wanted that GC bundle of games but the first night I couldn't get the link to work properly. Then when it finally did start working they were all soldout. Think they will restock these?

[TML]

I'm thinkin there might be one at 12:00 PM, in about 30 mins.

[volcomstone]

I just picked up one of those Yamaha receivers that are on sale for $199. Yay.

[Mepoor]

(EDIT: Opps, this was a FS deal, not BB).

Got there at 8:15am and picked a couple of the Samsung 17" LCD monitors (715V) from the last dozen left. (They had about 100 of them). They all were gone by 8:30am!

I'm not sure if the $352 ($349 plus tax less $50MIR) is a great deal or not, but I'll try them out and return if not happy or find a better deal...

[Menace]

I picked one up by pure luck. I got to the Scarborough Town Centre store by 8:30pm, but they were all sold out (lots 15" $349 left in the same pile). I asked a guy who got one earlier what time he came, he said "if you want mine, you can have it". Cool!

The monitor now runs good on my Windows 2003 server, I am keeping it :)

Edit: Finally finished my order, I'm going to bed, yay

I tried ordering the cheapo $9.99 DVD player - at 11:55 EST it came up as 10 in stock. I got one into my cart and proceeded to check out. I got the VB script error several times and then when the screen finally refreshed I got a message that they were temporarily unavailable and that they would ship when available (fine by me)...however, the quantity in my shopping basket was changed to ZERO. No matter how many times I tried to change the quantity to one, the server kept changing it back to zero when I attempted to check out (still had the message that it would ship when available), and then the page came up with the dreaded "out of stock" message. :cry:

I called their customer service and listened to 30 minutes of elevator music and the service rep who finally came on line told me the server had crashed at 12:01 EST and that anyone who was in the process of checking out, had their order CANCELLED by the server.

She told me there was nothing she could do for me, and she suggested that I should contact Customer Service on Monday.

Needless to say, I am not optimistic...but I will try talking to a supervisor on Monday!

[stooker]

guys...what you think ? is it worth waking up 5 Am to fight for the 42" Samsung TV for 999.00 ?

I want to know if this TV is good? I want to buy one but I have lot of light in the room. I need something to replace my old sony 20".

[Infamous1]

I believe the 42" $999 Sammy is on the site right now for $1599. You guys think it will be $999 online or just in store? Says 23 remaining.

It will be 999$ tomorrow only. In store and online. I will order it online.

[Infamous1]

Do you think it will start at midnight EST tonite?

[Drew_W]

Leaside Best Buy had at least 2 of the 26" Toshiba HDTVs new in box when I was there an hour ago. I thought that would have been a doorcrasher...guess not. Also still had an open box and demo of the same TV. I ordered one online last nite, but will probably cancel it. I'm somehow almost $500 over my credit limit by my calculations.

oh no's, someone just bought one at reg price, stock is down to 22 now :)

[Superman]

now down to 20!

[jcutner]

I ordered the Creative Zen Xtra from Best Buy
http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFS10036456&catid=21178&logon=&langid=EN&dept=0
For $260, it's a steal in my opinion. Almost $150 cheaper than an iPod and you get 10 more gigabytes. I've been looking for a HDD MP3 player, but an iPod is out of my price range and the Zen Xtra is just perfect.

[laptop-tech]

down now to 20......people are losing 600.00 + tax !

check the ad gallery. the 999.00 Sammy is shown there as a Monday only special. im beginning to think this is an instore deal only. the website would have updated by now.

[rockthecasbah]

this isn't a good deal right?

I sort of want to get a new dvd player for my room and am not looking for something fancy. and it when i cam across this " Home Theatre System" i was like hmm... that'd be cool.

It's a good deal for a low-end surround sound system. 210 Total watts is alright, and it does do dolby digital surround as well as pro logic 2.

Dude its like a savings of $10.00 over the normal price, not exactly breaking the bank there. I have never heard of this company before.

[laptop-tech]

almost sure it's in store only..I phoned them this morning and the girl told me so....I just did not trust her.

went to the store and they told me the same..came back tomorrow...darn !

all other items in the flyer that show Dec-27 only have already been updated...except the Sammy...

someone just lost 600.00 + taxes......down to 19 !

[sukasem]

I don't think so. I think they did it on purpose.
They will ask for price adjusted later, I think.

[JayPatel]

this is crazy...that tv didnt budge in stock all day today. all of sudden in the last half an hour, 6 of them have been sold at regular price.

[laptop-tech]

I don't think so. I think they did it on purpose.
They will ask for price adjusted later, I think.

BestBuy would have thousands of excuses to refuse that....since people bought them while showing the regular price...and if customers just cancel or return them, it's even better for BB...so they dont have to sell them at 999.00

[sukasem]

I think someone here bought it. come on out :cheesygri

[JayPatel]

I don't think so. I think they did it on purpose.
They will ask for price adjusted later, I think.

they'll be dissapointed. BB wont be giving price adjustments to ppl who bought it at full price today.

[JayPatel]

heh heh, down to 14 now

[laptop-tech]

by the time (IF) they lower the price to 999.00 they will be sold out.....lol !


this really sucks.... that means I'll wake up early tomorrow....

[7thEye]

Noooooo.......Stop buying the Sammy's at full price...

Why do people insist on being ripped off? Who would buy the Sammy at 1500 when its going on sale like today?

[north77]

they'll be dissapointed. BB wont be giving price adjustments to ppl who bought it at full price today.

In the flyer it says $999 for Dec. 27th only.

i didn't see this sammy in the online flyer too.

server time cant be PST...all other items (except the Xbox) on the same page (Dec-27 only) have been updated......

this is a gray area...too risky to try....someone might be lucky to convince the, but it's very unlikely.....

because a real TV looks better than a home made screen (queen size sheet..... ;) ) hanging from the ceiling...

only 9 now....


and 2000 posts by me ! yeah !

Why not a king-sized sheet?
I would rather have the mobility to move the projector around... But then setting it up would take some time to get everything right...

I guess it's all personal preference. :)

[Infamous1]

All the ppl that bought it at 1599 are going to return it if they dont get it price protected to the $999 that is in the flyer. Is that fair? is that allowed? If i was sure Bestbuy would allow that, id buy it before the 27th. I dont think BestBuy will do it as they aren't stupid and everyone would buy it before and get the difference back. i think it's in-store only.

[Neil]

Why do people insist on getting a rear-projection TV? Why not just get a cheap BenQ for less? :cheesygri Just wondering.

There's a lot of good things about RPTV. It's tried and true technology, pretty affordable $/inch, can be repaired down the road.

I think the run on sales here might be more a factor of price point than value. Joe Shopper has been out looking at sets all day, getting overloaded with options and depressed that he can't afford the $3000-5000 new technology. Boxing Day's over, all the stores are closed, and low and behold here's a set for well under $2k. Should I get it or not? There's only 15 left. Wait a minute, there's only 13 left. This must be a good set, everyone's buying it. What if it runs out?!? Shoot, I'm going to buy it!

Or it might be people who like you say are trying to get a price adjustment later.

Why do people insist on getting a rear-projection TV? Why not just get a cheap BenQ for less? :cheesygri Just wondering.

A cheap Benq projector has a bulb that burns out in probably a couple of years if you use it as your regular tv. Then you need to shell out $400-$500 for a bulb. So you pay $800-$1000 for a disposable tv. A rear projection tv will easily last 5-10 years since it is built with CRTs. Do your research before making stupid comments!

[Menace]

Yes if you are looking for a LCD for your 2nd computer or 3rd...etc. My computer farm is 100% LCD NOW! :D

Not in my opinion unless you're looking for an analog one with 25ms.

[masterhapposai]

Does this TV burn in when playing games?

Most consoles advise against any sort of projection.

Also, because it's projection would the screen be blurry in comparison to a regular TV? I seen some nasty LCD's & Projections at BB once(plasma and the rest didn't have this effect), they could barely handle a basketball game going on. Would I be better off if I chose a 30"+ Panasonic/JVC for gaming/clarity?

[masterhapposai]

up

meanwhile I'll start researching it..

yes, it is prone to burn in.

Also for those still looking, Costco has the Akai version of this TV for 999.99. It is the exact same tv as the samsung one as it is just a rebadge. I just check it out running an HDTV signal and the PQ is very good for the price.

alright, so this is mainly for watching TV

Anyone have a personal recommendation for games?

A friend has this massive samsung something, that never burns in, I'm assuming it's plasma?

[dsorgiovanni]

I'm not sure if this is entirely correct, but i heard plasmas were ev en worse than projections for burn-ins and stuff like that.


From what i have heard the new DLP Projection tvs can not get "burn-ins"

I just saw 1 Fujifilm DVD +R pack in stock and I typed as fast as i can to log in and get it, but I was too slow.

There were two when I just checked. I grabbed one and checked out successfully. I then tried to get the second but it somehow got out of stock before I completed the checkout. Sorry if the one that I did get somehow took it away from you. I promise it was nothing personal.

I'm really hoping that the stock that's shipping from BB's warehouse is identical to the TY media in their B&M stores.

Today *is* Dec. 27th (EST time zone), so why not?

I've been reading a lot of posts and last night I was waiting to get the Sammy TV for 999. When they started dropping in number, I thought it wouldn't hurt to get it and cancel it if they don't give it to me for that price. So i called Best Buy this morning, waited 40 minutes cause there was a snow storm in Atlantic Canada and so they were short staffed. Anyways I told them how it was advertised for DEC 27 and I gave them my order number. At first the lady said that it could've been a store only special and that it wasn't offered online. I told her that it was in the online flyer and that I was wondering if she could look into it. She put me on hold, came back and ask me what time I bought it at. I told her 12:45am. She put me on hold again. Then she came back and said that I was right and that they would credit me back the 600 dollars plus taxes. That made my boxing day! So it never hurts to try!

Wow!
Great to hear!!! :D

Bet that made you smile from ear to ear eh? ;)

Did anyone get that Dec 27th doorcrasher Mercury 256 MP3 player for $79.99?
They posted it at 11 pm EST on Dec 26... so people who thought that it would be up at midnight, went away empty handed.

I managed to get one by sheer luck of surfing their site.

Thumbs down to their lack of restocking and consistency in posting times.

yes, it is prone to burn in.

Also for those still looking, Costco has the Akai version of this TV for 999.99. It is the exact same tv as the samsung one as it is just a rebadge. I just check it out running an HDTV signal and the PQ is very good for the price.

I saw reviews saying that both TV's are basically the same, but the Sammy has the screen protector while the Akai does not....not sure if it's true.

About burn-in, according to the Samsung US website, this model has some special feature that reduces drastically (or eliminates) the burn in effect..not sure how it works, but I hate console games with passion, so it's not gonna be a big deal for me.......I dont own a PS2 or Xbox or whatever....

awww no more city of heroes again. I had it in my cart on the 24th but the site was so slow that by the time i tried to check out it was sold out. I probably wouldnt have time to play it since i have WoW but for 9.95 cant hurt!
