Although that could just be a graphic to make the ad look prettier, and could mean nothing.

honestly spking, IMO there's too much emphasis on the words "HOT DEAL" in title... :razz:

for one, we dunno for sure exactly what they're offering, and if history repeats itself, it'll be XX days of crap/overstock/disco'd items they call "deals"....

Not if you go by previous Future Shop Days of Deals. They always tend to put the darkened image of the actual deals.

Those aren't speakers in the back, those are clearly a set of ionic air purifiers. OOOH YA!

Yes. Say it's a computer game or video game they haven't played in ages, and they once stashed a photo or two in the box, behind instructions, etc so that nobody would find it.....then forgot it was in there.

Yep. But there's 3 pages of posts here already (I'm helping too!) and the sale hasn't even begun. I'm betting by the time it does there will be like 6-8 pages and then it'll be like all cold deals anyway which means these threads are just a big waste of time in the end eh? :(

LMAO. That's too funny. "No one will find it in here hunny ;) " But of course the EB counter guys sure are finding them after they forget... hahaha

1. most likely a 42" lcd or plasma
2. hp laptop
3. desktop (without monitor), i can almost guarantee it's a refurb.
4. wireless mouse
5. keyboard and mouse combo, or it may just be part of the desktop
6. speakers
7. external harddrive.
8. most likely a canon elph digicam
9. gps system or crt

at least, that's what i see.

if you guys checkout the US website, there's a "where to buy" link - http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Buy.aspx

you'll see that in Canada (http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Buy.aspx?f=16&id=1011), a variety of retailers carry this product including FS/BB/stooples...

weird thing is, you won't be able to find this on BB's website .... coincidence? (to deter PMing) ;)


stooples doesn't carry it online either, but for those who are looking fwd to PMing, you can try instore.

Best Buy might be clearing these so it might only be in their stores. Just guessing.

I have the 1 gig version of this lil player and it is excellent. Good battery life and very good sound...its amazing how that little screen can really display a photo quite well. Tough and very small.
I paid $59 for mine at FS on sale in Oct. so its well worth it.
