From my experience. Boxing day shopping has always been a little over-rated. You can get good deals year-round, if you know where to look..

the best deal i ever got on boxing day was at ncix. $1 for a 2gb creative mp3 player. regular price $50, so 98% off!

that was the best boxing day ever haha.

so far today, all i ordered was an HDMI cable for $3.99 (reg $18). the in-store specials at ncix are kind of shitty again this year unless you're in the market for a new monitor...

Depends on how many orders the operations team has to go through before they get to yours. There's about 20-30 people working tonight and all throughout the weekend processing orders at CHQ right now.

Bought a few things at BB. Wish I had done it earlier as some of the movies I wanted were sold out by the time I got around to doing it.

Anyone know if the former radio shack (The Source) is doing anything? I just saw their flyer on RFD and they've got the 40" Samsung 530 for $699. Good deal, anyone know if I can get it out here?

Was gonna go with a Lumix ZS1 for $209US from jr.com before reading ur post.

Ended up with a Lumix ZS3 for $240US from bhphoto.com even though I wasn't looking for HD video. Can't believe how much cheaper those east coast places are. FS has it for $400 - on sale!
