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.

Dammit lol | 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  | |

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.

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 main issue with it is if you wear glasses.
Shure cables tend to fray though, so be careful.

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

Equip that with the Fiio E5 amp at Dealextreme for $17 and it's heaven @ pre-$200 category.

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