hmm... can't seem to find any lesser prices than what future shop has it. You can knock a few bucks off by price matching it at Best Buy.
OR
you can do what I did and just befriend a guy at a Shoppers Drug Mart, tell him/her that someone in 10 minutes will call about this product. Go to FS OR BB and tell them you saw it at this store for this price, let them call, and let the price match begin. im bad when theres something i want but dont want to be ripped off for it.

Hmph, good idea. If nobody else gives me a good deal, you got yourself 5 bucks, although I doubt I'll try that idea. I'm not that type of person.

5 bucks.

wait until july 31st for it to go back up in price, and then price match it to NCIX or Sig or any of the other local stores (check pricecanada.com and shopbot.ca)... that way you should save an extra $5 bucks (assuming it goes back up $50 bucks) on the PM

Nice find on Compu2000, but OP lives in GTA and his FS won't pm a competitor out of province. I think OP wants the b&m FS for the no hassle return if needed.
Mind you OP, if you get a FS employee that overlooks the store is in BC, you may pull it off. Print it and good luck.

Awesome. I want it pricematched to futureshop just because I got a $50 coupon. What are the chances of the person finding its in BC?

And can I possibly even dare try pulling this one off? http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/Search.do?c=1&searchType=user&keyword=sd890&searchSection=All Its the UNITED STATES circuit city, but their are many in Canada aswell, but only the USA circuit city is selling the camera. Can I try pulling their leg and saying its in Canada?

Only Source stores which are owned by Circuit City.

Sorry I meant Compu2000 not CanadaComputers. And I'm not in it for $5, just helping.

I know $5 is nothing honestly, but look how much I'm saving not too much. I woud raise the price to $10, but than its pretty much useless. And I honestly think I got a better show at Circuit City than in that BC place. And how come I should wait for the price to increase?

Perhaps offering a reward is more of a hindrance than a draw when most people will help you for free.
What people are saying about waiting is when FS's price goes up, the 10% of the difference compared to a competitor is greater, so you get it at FS for an even lower price.
Pricematched -10% of the difference, not another 10% off.

If this does in fact turn out to be a price error, then you can at least now get it for $299 from FutureShop (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10100821&catid=22534)
That price seems to be a legit 'proper' deal.
