Oct 14-20, 2005 National Weekly Flyer
(Can this be for real?)

Best Buy - Oct 7 to 13
http://bestbuy.flyerservices.com/noncached_pages/BBUY_PU00360_120_eng_PG0001.asp?&L=EN&T=2&SID=630038293&BID=5

Now for the weird stuff - compare the Samsung 42" DLP (bottom right) TV on the page above with the price on the page below - is this regional or something?

Note - It works best in Internet Explorer. The "Next Page" function does not seem to work in Firefox. Pop-up boxes also appear to work in IE but not Firefox

I am using Internet Explorer 6.0 and it is working OK for me.

To manually change pages find the following in the URL

FUTS_PU00354_120_eng_PG0001.asp

Change PG0001 to PG0002 then PG0003 - get the idea?

Same thing goes for the Best Buy flyers as well.

***** The thing that sucks is now knowing that there will be no good sales at FS or BB for the next two weeks.

Why is it that the flier says (Page 9 of FutureShop Flyer) "PVR150 150$ - save 50$", but the popup box says "Save 50$ - Price 50$"? All of the math seems to be screwed up in the popup boxes. This is not the only case, but all popup boxes seem to be misreporting the price.

ex: ATI X850 256meg AGP card (page 9, FutureShop) - Save 70$, price 70$ according to the pop-up box. 330$ according to the flyer.

Math problems - well I guess these things are still "under development" so there are errors to be found.

I wonder how long it will take for the FS / BB webteam to see in the logs that we are looking at these flyers and then do something about it. Ha ha ha - these things are supposed to be "secrets" because knowledge of future sales affects sales in the present - ie people waiting for things on sale.

... but then again who ever said that the FS/BB team was smart - ha ha ha

As for the paper flyers - I guess that depends on where you live and when your local newspaper gets delivered. From personal experience I always get the flyers on Friday (or Saturday if the paper is late). FS and BB staff never want to hand out a flyer early.

Staples has the most horrible flyers....I know exactly what you mean...and managers are like "There's no way that a client can see this before the sale date!!" But they get them a few days earlier!!!! Stooples...that was gay!

Where did you get the model # for the Gateway Laptop on sale next week for $1,399? I assume you are talking about the laptop on page 1.

Ultimate Gaming
Web ID 10066878

Athlon 64 4000+
1 gig RAM
100 gig HD
DVD burner - dual layer
ATI radeon x600
Wireless-G
15.4" WXGA TFT-LCD
Sucks it has only WinXP Home even though it is 64 bit CPU

Two months ago I bought a Dell Inspiron 6000 for $1400 and it was only about 70% as powerful as this. Shoot I would sell my Dell to buy this baby!

Yes, I'm talking about the laptop on Page 1. I was going to buy this in the US from BestBuy (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7454122&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat39100050016&id=1125464966640) but since it's gonna be on sale here for approx. $65CDN more, I'll wait and buy it here to save me from the drive. I think it's a hot deal!

Thats a pretty nice laptop for the price. The next closest i've been looking at is the Acer 1694WLMI (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=14918&vpn=LX.A6505.031&manufacture=Acer&promoid=1001) from ncix. They have similar listed specs, altho it seems everyone getting the acer from ncix have the P4-M 2.0GHz and X700 64Mb chips in them.

I see that nx week FS will have the Hauppauge PVRUSB on sale for $149 again. I wonder if it'll ever get cheaper than that. If not, I'll just PM staples to $145, then get $5 to bump it to $150 and use a $150 off $20 coupon as well as those $10 off $10 coupons floating around. That should bring the PVR to $120.

Hm.. Good price.

It's a pretty decent mouse, as far as cordless ones go. I had to RMA my MX700 and they sent me the MX1000; it's better than the 700, but not by much. Next mouse I get will definitely be corded.

no they're not "smart", but they'll get "smarter" over time...

I was actually referring to the fact that your postal code is being shown all over RFD. (Although I don't think anyone in RFD is malicious or anything :) ). I was just trying to tell you to be careful. But anyways, I agree --> TOO BAD FOR FS AND BB. This is a cat and mouse game. They gotta adapt.

I've had a hard time picking out which notebook to buy...here are the two I am contemplating:

Gateway MX7515 (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7454122&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat39100050016&id=1125464966640) - Which will be on sale at FS for $1399.99 + tax

OR

Compaq Presario R4025CA (http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=89%2C90%2C91,430&webid=603602&affixedcode=WW) - Which is on clearance for 997 - 20 coupon + tax

The notable differences are that the gateway notebook has a much better vid. card, better processor, and an extra 20GB of HD space. However, is the price difference of almost $500cdn worth that? I am not a hardcore gamer by any means...What do you all think? Which one is better bang for buck?

I would go for the compaq one if i were you. I dont know anything about the Gateway brand. But I think Compaq is a better brand than Gateway. Both laptops are very heavy. So there isnt a difference in size.

And why does Quake 4 have to come out at the same time as F.E.A.R.?! I think I'll have to buy Quake 4 first.

ZeeTX
Oct 7th, 2005, 12:47 AM
Well.. If you are not a Gamer then Compaq notebook (R4025CA) will save you good amount of money but then again you get what you pay.

If you are considering Gateway notebook (MX7515) then I'd better say go with MX7510GX if you can find because it has all the same specs except the processor is 3700+ (2.4Ghz) instead of 4000+ (2.6Ghz) but you will have true 128MB local memory video card instead of just 64MB local memory in MX7515.

This improves your gaming performance:

(MX7510GX) - 3DMark05 score - 1700+
(MX7515) - 3DMark05 score - 1300+

BUT.. CPU mark difference is about 175+ in favour of MX7515. So the choice is yours.

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure how they do it online, but instore: They will do a refund and repurchase. When you repurchase the item, it's treated like a new sale, and the rebate form should print out with it.

I've had a hard time picking out which notebook to buy...here are the two I am contemplating:

Gateway MX7515 (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7454122&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat39100050016&id=1125464966640) - Which will be on sale at FS for $1399.99 + tax

OR

Compaq Presario R4025CA (http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=89%2C90%2C91,430&webid=603602&affixedcode=WW) - Which is on clearance for 997 - 20 coupon + tax

EDIT: Whoops, that's the U.S Site! IGNORE my stupid post!

It's a pretty decent mouse, as far as cordless ones go. I had to RMA my MX700 and they sent me the MX1000; it's better than the 700, but not by much. Next mouse I get will definitely be corded.

cool maybe I'll rma my mouse on purpose.

You're right...That is in US$'s. This is supposed to be available at FS on Oct. 14th @ $1399!

Thanks to all who helped me out with the decision. I bought the Compaq already. If I don't like it, I'll simply get a refund and buy the Gateway one.

Hey Folks - that Gateway Laptop - MX7515 - the link where the price is $1,199 is the .COM site which is the US site and that is the US price.

Weird thing to check out is the price differences between the flyer and the Bestbuy.ca home page.

On the BB Homepage the Samsung DLP TV is listed at $1,994.99 but then when you go to the TV page and even in the Flyer the price is $2,199.99.

On the BB Homepage the Samsung 26" LCD TV is listed at $1,484.99 but then you go to the TV page and even in the Flyer the price is $1,499.99

Why is BB so incompetent with all these pricing mistakes?
Which is the real price?


The Samsung LCD TV is not a bad price considering at the US version LNR268W (same electronics but different cosmetics according to Samsung Canada) has a street price of about us$1,200 which is about cdn$1,440. I wish the 2" was back on sale at the $1,999 price that it was at a month ago.

lol... i'd think that now FS/BB are "aware" of the "advanced-release" of their flyers online :lol: , they've prbly fixed'em so that no1 now can access them except for themselves.


btw, i believe OP posted last wk the following wks' flyers as well... both were nothing too special... u should've looked at'em while they lasted.

I was tracking the Toshiba DLP 62HM85. It wasn't on last week but it is on this week's flyer. I remember seeing it on this thread's preview before FS took that feature away.

F.E.A.R - $49.99 on Oct.18
and
BATMAN BEGINS - $21.99 on Oct.18

I'm picking up thoses two!

fear game gets released at the sametime as in the us..

and as for seriours sam 2 it gotten delayed for stores to get it for some reason! it got released on the 11th, but stores won't get it till 13th. witch sucks on big games they release it the proper days.. oh well jut my 2 cents.

Could be a couple of reasons:
1. they maybe changed the flyer
2. you weren't looking at the right flyer for your area

How can there be no gateway notebooks (seen on the front page) in stock anywhere in Ontario nor online? I was up at 7 AM EST and didn't see any in stock...How can they advertise this on the front page and have no stock? Anyone see any in stores in the GTA (or anywhere in Ontario for that matter)?
