Is this the 5080?

[Formula1]

Scans of flyers added. Hopefully it's all good.

[hingisfan]

Definetly the Pioneer 5080....steal of a price if they actually get stock in.

This is getting more ridiculous by the day. I am considering returning my Samsung A650 and get the 5080.

[brucebeh]

hmm deals are OK this year...


the sharp 32" LCD for $499 isnt bad.. and Garmin GPS is pretty good too!



i like how its "HUGE" savings and lots of stuff on the FS flyer is $50 off... better than nothing i guess

[goqcom]

Has the soundsaround sale been announced even?

Or is it next weekend and this is a preemptive strike to soak up the dollars from consumers before soundaround's sale?

[rtsen]

I'm interested in the 42" Aquos

Yeah, they usually advertise a couple weeks ahead of time but I haven't heard anything on the radio.

[PrimeBane]

Didn't SoundSurround move their sale to a week later last year?

I'm very tempted to get that 32" Sharp for the bedroom...

[Darkfacimile]

Interesting sale. Any thoughts regarding the GPS up for sale this weekend?

Wish I lived in calgary- check out page 8 of the futureshop flyer
and you'll find a sony htib for 599 that is 400 dollars off.

It is on sonystyle.ca for 999.99 (http://www.sonystyle.ca/commerce/servlet/ProductDetailDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10001&productId=1005046&navigationPath=n45940n33247)

I have the 42" Aquos and love it, I sometimes wish I had picked up a bigger screen, but I have no complaints about the picture quality.

[alextruong]

yeah i want to know if its nation-wide or not. In the BB flyer(1st page), its written : offers good throught sept 5 to sept 7, for all BB in Canada.

[number8888]

Probabaly doesn't apply to Ontario, which is too bad because I see stuff that I like.

I have trouble making out the model numbers in fine print in the scans btw. :lol:

[Deemo]

Looked though the posts and nobody has thanked the OP for going to all this trouble to post these for us:(

Thanks man!

[cloud7]

The soundsaround sale has been weak in recent years... last year, I was in the market for a TV and a home theatre system and ended up buying at BB...

thanks OP! wish I lived in cowtown... I bought a 5080HD this week and it's getting delivered today... an additional $100 off would have been nice..

[Deemo]

Does anyone have any info on the Sharp 32"?

The model number doesn't come up on the Sharp website.

Also, the BB flyer lists 720P whereas the website has it at 1080P....not like it matters anyway.

[Prodigy45]

Anyone from other provinces tried matching the 5080 price? I got my recipts with me and I'm going to give it a go this evening after work.

[PrimeBane]

the 32" Sharp is probably a special unit for Bestbuy, much like the Toshiba D3 HD DVD players they got last Christmas.... then there are no price matches.

[cwboys]

Just to let everyone know, Future Shop did price match the Calgary Flyer here in Ottawa. I bought 2 Pionner 5080s for $1,499 each. WHAT A TV. It's beautiful. Grab one while you can.

what did you say to get a PM ? the promo seems to be available in Cgy only, did the salesman insist on that?

Its a misleading practice I noticed on BB's website a little while ago. They've been listing a number of models as '1080P', but they're just 720P televisions which accept 1080P input (ie, Downscaling.)

[cwboys]

what did you say to get a PM ? the promo seems to be available in Cgy only, did the salesman insist on that?

I called the 1-800 number this morning before I went to Future Shop to make sure they had to price Match. The rep on the phone told me that as long as Calgary Future Shops have them in stock, they have to price match everywhere in Canada (the 4 stores in Calagary that I selected all had them IN STOCK). I then printed out the add (Calgary Flyer) and took it in with me. Of course the sales guy had to check with the manager first, but I told him that I called the 1-800 number and the rep told me that THEY had to price match. When he came back he said no problem and sold them both to me for $1,499 each. I had a hard time last week with the Web only deal but this is an in store deal EVEN IF IT'S A CALGARY ONLY DEAL it doesn't matter. Read the price match language on the website under Store Policies. It clearly says that they have to price match "ANYWHERE IN CANADA". Hope this helps.

I checked it out pretty good today when I went down... not bad for the price but there are some limitations.

Definitely not 1080P, and it wasn't from the Aquos line (mentioned nowhere on TV or the Box). It didn't seem to have a digital tuner in it either which may or may not matter to people.

With the digital tuner on the one I have I can pick up the music and HD PBS by just connecting the coax. Once you start getting more digital channels in the future you should be able to get HD programming without buying a HD Box I'm assuming.

I went to Northland here in Calgary, and they only had it hooked up to this Bose demo which looked like crap. After waiting for help for 10 minutes I just picked the demo TV up and moved it to the back of the store to hook it up to the HD inputs running on the other TV's. Picture looked horrible, and wouldn't even accept the HD which is why I'm thinking there is no digital tuner.

Probably some leftover stock from the US that they can't sell because of the lack of tuner... if you have a HD cable box or are just playing games it could be a good deal.

Still had lots left an hour ago.

Thanks, i called and they totally denied lol. Are you able to post a receipt ? i might get the sharp 32" from BB. and its also written that the price is good for all BB in Canada lol.

[smpmush]

I called the 1-800# also and the rep told me that it was managers descretion and that they didnt have to PM.. Another case of ymmv and they WILL make up the rules as they go..... If you could please post a reciept of the $1499 purchase I will try again tomorrow with the flyer the reciept and the word from head office that it shouldn't be deinied... :lol: .... I have played cat and mouse with this TV for 2 weeks now.. I want it for 1499 out of principal now.. :cheesygri

[Prodigy45]

Can the thread owner or anyone in Calgary please post copies of the flyer with the date on them? Fs won't pricematch because the date is missing. I tried calling EVERY cagary store only one picked up, and the silly customer service woman dropped my call 3 times and transferred me to the wrong department once. At about 2-3 mins a call i don't want to know what my long distance cell phone cost is but it's eating into my profits.

[MooseTits]

Sorry, I should have picked one up while I was there.

Here's my scanned receipt, maybe that will help?

[adysworld31]

Hi everyone,

Successfully price matched the 5080 at the Edmonton South FS. I just brought in a copy of the flyer printed from the links here. The customer service rep was confused at first because the price was not showing up on her system, but she called a Calgary FS to confirm the price. She asked to keep the copy of the flyer (presumably in case anyone else shows up for a price match).

Good luck guys.

Thanks OP!

[smpmush]

Thanks Moose... I think us folks in the east need the fellow from Ottawa to post an Ont reciept though..

[Deemo]

Well I pulled the pin on a Sony 40" LCD....the 40M4000.

Used the Best Buy flyer to get an extra 5% off at Visions.

Price ...$809.

[MooseTits]

Thanks Moose... I think us folks in the east need the fellow from Ottawa to post an Ont reciept though..

No problem. Let me know if there's anything us Calgarians can do to help you guys out.

[mkc]

Thanks OP, I've got my price adjustment for the TV.

[napoleon1769]

Got rejected in Edmonton :(

And I had to pay shipping for it too!

[AC_Slater]

You can see the flyers online at the futureshop site to help with your quest.

Use Calgary postal code like t2p2b3 and click on the 3 day sale link

[Kwyjibo]

Best Buy in London matched the price on the 26" Samsung for me. No problem. The cashier had to ask a manager, but he just sort of shrugged and I was on my way.:cheesygri

[mahjongmaniac]

The rep on the phone told me that as long as Calgary Future Shops have them in stock, they have to price match everywhere in Canada (the 4 stores in Calagary that I selected all had them IN STOCK).

errr... they're only PMing against themselves.

i don't believe stock is a req.'mt if it's not a competitor.

[MacBuster]

I checked stock here in Calgary, and it still seems ok on the 5080 Kuro.

I've still got a 46" Toshiba I need to do something with....hmm

[smpmush]

OMG!!!! There is still hope for FS managers!! I called all stores in the GTA today to check on stock and finally found one with stock (2) that would do a PM with the Calgary price.. By the time I got there someone had already scouped the other one ( I suspect an employee..))Mine was there all ready to go on the cart with my name on it.. Call around and check for stock and then ask to speak to a manager and have him call a Cow town store to verify price and stock.. I will scan my reciept later and post to try and give the ontfolks some ammo to help sway managers with stock to PM... Now off to unpack this beast and start the breakin .... :cheesygri

Dont lose hope those who are still on the hunt.. I have been chasing this TV for over 2 weeks but refused to pay anymore than the 1599 when I couldn't get it matched I waited and I'm glad I did because in the end I got it for$100 cheaper than the price I was willing to pay... MY faith in PMing has been somewhat restored..

[pac1971]

Went to both stores in Calgary (BB and FS)...tons of stock left..they had the Samsung LN40A550 for 999..quite tempting..

[Skratch]

Im assumming the guys getting the Pioneer 5080, know its not 1080p and just has a 1365x768 resolution. Still a pretty good tv tho for the price.

Now if they would knock the 5020 down, id be a happy man. :)

Might have to pickup a reciever tho, that Harman Kardon for 599 isnt bad.

[Skratch]

Also if you notice, with FS anyway, alot of the prices show sale ending 9/11.....so its good till then, at least until stock runs out.

[Prodigy45]

Successful price match in GVA, thanks to the gentleman who posted his recipt and the other fellow who had the correct postal code to display the flyer. A manager had to get involved but it worked out in the end.

This is my 4th price match on this tv now - the recipts won't fit in my wallet anymore haha. Who knows, next week they might be giving these TV's away.

[lunaris]

yo guy from ottawa, where do u live? lol let me come pick one up from you? or did u get it from the south keys location? i gotta go try this rofl..

[PrimeBane]

I picked up one of the Sharp 32" last night... PQ won't knock anyone's socks off, but it's a nice set for the bedroom or a child's room for the price. :)

The cashier at the time said they had been flying out the door most of the day.

I checked it out pretty good today when I went down... not bad for the price but there are some limitations.

Definitely not 1080P, and it wasn't from the Aquos line (mentioned nowhere on TV or the Box). It didn't seem to have a digital tuner in it either which may or may not matter to people.

Bought the 5080 instore for 1599 (online only sale) last week.
Succesfully price matched it today to 1499 at Futureshop in Ottawa., manager approved it in about 10 seconds.

The 5020 was knocked down to 2999 last week at FS.

[jcg1545]

The 5020 was knocked down to 2999 last week at FS.

thanks to the op successfully PM from 1599 last week to 1499 (wpg)
what has been the lowest price for the 5020?
would be interested but hard to justify twice the price of the 5080

[spiller]

1499 in toronto.

the sales guy was really nice and of course pushed the extended warranty...he just needed to see the calgary flyer online...he was going to put the 5080 in for 1349 if i took the 4 yr warranty but i passed on it.

anyone think the 4 yr warranty is worth $300? (from 449? if you account for the tv going from 1499 to 1349...). The Mac warranty is 180?

[PrimeBane]

Plasma and LCD tvs have about a 3% failure rate... IMO, no one should ever purchase an extended warranty for a flat panel tv.

If you're really paranoid about it, purchase the tv with a credit card that doubles the manufacturer's warranty.

[MJunkie]

Hey Guys,

Anyone knows if this would fit a normal sized sedan? I know the box will be huge, but I plan to take it out of the box and put it at the back seat ... think its possible or TV's dimensions don't allow for this?

If this isn't possible then am not sure how people are getting it from store to their house .. unless they all have SUVs here!!

It's big 53" long 37 3/4" high and 20' wide..I used a chevy rwb mini van with the rear seats removed it slid right up inbetween the rear capt. chairs... It fit but just... Meausre your ride and see if you can fit it in and remember it is not allowed to be placed on its side ...

[aeroes]

I picked up the sharp 32" for $500. Its not good as computer monitor, texts arent as sharp as my Samsung 32" 450series, picture arent as clear but it does give accurate colors just not as sharp. I have them beside each other. Im returning this tomorrow.

I think that is more for stores, or during shipment, as the sides of the box aren't solid so placing something heavy on it risks going through.

[a in yul]

thx!!

[net_essential]

Just picked up two of GPS from Sunridge Best Buy for $99.99 each. It seems to be a good deal.

[a in yul]

well, PM'd the 50A450 with the Samsung HT; as per the flyer that was posted; got free delivery and an extra 20$ off as well; final price 1279++

thanks again to OP and for postal code info; printed everything and PM went smoothly!

i have tried to recover under a CC warranty and also done the FS PSP on now 2 digital cameras. let me tell you, if you think claiming under the FS PSP is hard work, good luck with your CC company. i purchased the PSP. i guess i could return the PSP before 30 days is up.

[archimed]

THANK YOU Formula1 for posting the scans of the flyers. I sent a copy of the flyer to the FS web support address, and they're going to credit me back for the $100.. looks like my Kuro will only have cost me $1499.. HOT!

Edit: someone wanted to know how I got the price protection on this one. Here's what I did:

1. emailed FS web support (websupportcan@futureshop.com) on sept 5th at 9pm. I included the scan of the flyer, and indicated that 4 different Calgary stores had stock.
2. I asked nicely if they would be able to price guarantee the $100 difference.

Note that I'm in Alberta, so it is possible that they honored the price because I could have technically returned my order and bought it in Calgary. I'm not sure why anyone else would have their PM denied, but I got a response a few days later from web support saying, "Thank you for inquiring about our Lowest Price Guarantee policy. We have discounted your order to the appropriate amount. Your card will be credited within five to seven business days."

Guess it was a lucky break, but I'm very satisfied .. this almost covered the GST and shipping costs!
