American Psycho blu-ray $7
True Romance blue ray $7
Probably some other cheap blu rays. I'm a sucker for a bargain. | Walmart has some cheap Blu Rays. Their flyer is now on RFD.
- Dark Knight
- James Bond: Goldfinger
2 for $20.
Apparently Blockbuster Video (of all places) is blowing out Sony standalone Blu Ray players on Christmas Day for $99. The model is the current S360. These might be good if you're tired of using your PS3 for Blu Rays.

The deals for TV aren't that good, after doing research prior to buying mine this christmas, all the deal crashers or the ones up for sale are lukewarm.
The TVs are moslty older models(2years+) with clearout prices. pay another 200 bucks, get last years/this year's model and it will last you longer for living rooms or anything big. However, if it's for bedrooms and that nature, good deals.
XBR9 52 for 2499, thats the price regularly pre-boxing day.

Every god damn year, I forget to check out Mopac's Boxing day sale. I don't know why I miss it. I end up going to BB, Butcher Shop, and dumbass places like that, spend 10 hours, and come out disappointed......... then it's too late for Mopac once a year sale.
I hope Summit Tools has a good Boxing Day sale, too. Waiting for all the flyers to show up.
BTW, I'm looking for a 1T (or larger) Western Digital external hard drive. Hopefully under 100 bucks. Gotta store my porn somewhere, LOL.

XBR9 52 for 2499, thats the price regularly pre-boxing day. | Boxing Day has always been about clearouts of old stock. I'm going off on a tangent, but are people really replacing their HDTVs every 2-3 years? I can understand moving from DLP/LCD projection to flat-panel tech, but why would you replace your flat-panel set with another (unless it's for a signifcant upgrade in size?) My Panasonic 42" that I bought at the end of 2006 is still alive and kicking.
Anyway, Visions still needs to release their flyer. They seem to have taken A&B's role of offering ridiculous door crashers.

look at the people in this forum! lol they're replacing 46's for 52"s from 2-3 years ago, so i see people replacing tv. 2-3 years, that and previously plasma and burn marks and all those fun stuff.
But i'm just saying with the tech upgrades in TVs that you would never see back in the day with the CRTs/Trinitrons. Those older 2-3 year models vs latests and the savings acutally make a lot of sense.
When TV's improve exponentially as they are right now, i say it's just makes better lifetime of the tv sense to pay 200-300 more for a updated model if the tech is better.
Vs these boxing day deals (that some are very lukewarm on.).
But as i said before if they are for bedrooms and non-living rooms. I say they are good deals.

But as i said before if they are for bedrooms and non-living rooms. I say they are good deals. | I've suffered some image retention on my plasma, but it eventually goes away. Burn-in shouldn't be an issue for the average issue, unless your set has never been calibrated or you're gaming on it 10+ hours a day.
The 720P vs. 1080P debate is irrelevant too unless you're talking about large screen sizes. I guess my point is that if people bought a good set (Panasonic or Pioneer), then it should have lasted for several years. I paid close to $2000 for my set 3 years ago and I figure that I should get at least another 5 years out of it.

If anyone sees a great deal on 23-24" 1080p monitors please PM me, ~$200.
BB/FS has 1 good deal each, yet they are subpar monitors. I can get better for regular price on TigerDirect.

| | Wow that's a load of bullshit. I remember I was in the store looking at TVs and mentioned that I may buy something during the boxing day sale and they were like "well we price match to January 3rd so it makes more sense to get it now while we have stock". Haha, glad I didn't buy anything. I hate futureshop.
