Hey bud, Sears.ca has this TV on for $699 as well. You can get an additional $35 off on any order over $500 by entering coupon code: 941 618 868

The coupon doesn't appear to work at first when you enter it but you will see the price of your item has been reduced by $35 on the screen asking for payment.

If you think the PST is too high, that's because they have lumped the enviro fee in.

You can pick up from your nearest Sears store to avoid any shipping costs.

Some other good deals on Sears include:

- $879 for the 46" Samsung 1080P LN46B530 - minus $35 = $844 plus tax
- Sharp 40" 1080P for $699 - $35 = 665. Note, this is the same TV that is on door crasher at FS tomorrow morning. $65 more but you don't have to die in the cold tonight.
- 40" Samsung 1080P LN40B610 120hz for $879 minus $35 = $844.

Anyways, good luck everyone, the sales weren't spectacular this year but still some decent deals to be had.

they are customers tricked by bose markting. what do you think of when you see/hear the brand BOSE? that shitty cd/radio system you see on tv almost EVERYDAY.

their electronic componets and speakers are all mass produced, and do not justify the 400 price. sure, they spent 699 on "research" , more like marketing research.

99% of audiophiles will tell you to get something other than bose:thumbsup:

yea, i want to get the Shure headphones too, but not to sure now because i looked at them online and the cable is supposed to wrap behind your ears, and i have never tried anything like that before.

maxxxboost 12-25-2009 07:04 PM

i guess the boxing day junkies are off to the line-ups now ei?

MG1 12-25-2009 08:54 PM

I'm getting too old for this shit. I remember lining up for over ten hours in the frickin cold when the Nintendo Wii first came out. That was freakin horrible. The other horrible experience with line ups was the time I lined up to get my daughter into French Immersion. The last boxing day sale was pretty good........ second hand smoke (weed) all night long and kicking teenager ass in Mario Kart DS. <---- that didn't come ot right.

325ist 12-25-2009 09:10 PM

I have gotten better deals on some of these things during normal sales. I think boxing day "steals" are a thing of the past.

The wrap-behind-ears design helps with microphonics (noise from headphone cable moving around) and it really helps tuck them out of the way.

The main issue with it is if you wear glasses.

Shure cables tend to fray though, so be careful.

sony holmes

especially if your talking about that sharp on for 599 or w/e with the red fade in the bottom frame :/

edit*

those NCIX deals arent even deals

these days "deals" are lowering prices to a somewhat acceptable level

I have a set myself and it's definitely good bang for your buck at that price. Even for $150 (the price I paid for), I think it's still very good. Equip that with the Fiio E5 amp at Dealextreme for $17 and it's heaven @ pre-$200 category.

any input????

Personally, for the money you are paying for, you're better off going with Bowers & Zeppelin's Mini iPod speaker dock. If you want something at $200 ish, the JBL is actually not too bad. You can try them out at the Apple Store.

No. But don't let anyone tell you what to like. Compare side by side before you buy Bose. Pick the one you like best. You could be saving yourself some money.

I think they bank on most ppl who buy speakers to pick the first one that sounds good.

Gh0stRider 12-25-2009 10:45 PM

ya, NCIX has been a bust.
