Will shaw 500GB HD PVR go on for cheaper than $198?
 
just wondering what i should do in terms of the shaw PVR, if i should buy it now for the $198 its going for, or do u think it will get any cheaper for boxing day sales etc.?

also if i was to get gift cards to a futureshop/Bestbuy, where would be the best place to get gift cards to in order to purchase one? both places carry them?

Try calling the Chinese hotline for shaw, they usually bargain down for sales items since Chinese ppl do it all the time.

I remember the weird look the Visions guy gave me when I told him I wanted to buy 5.

do a promo plan for one year - tell them you want options, and they will offer you the box for $99. i bought out my hd 500gb pvr for 99+tax earlier this month.

Hondaracer 12-18-2011 06:37 PM

household is already with shaw for TV and internet, will they give me a promo price on an additional box? we currently have 1 HD box, and one of the older silver motorolla HD PVR's

i dont think it will get cheaper for boxing day.

anyways .. if you've been a long term customer, shaw will replace your digital box (that you own) and swap for an HD box.. 3200

starting in the new year

You can buy gift cards anywhere. Superstore for example sells both FS and BB cards, I believe 7-11 and Petro does too.

Hondaracer 12-18-2011 08:06 PM

im asking more in terms of where i should get gift cards to in order to get the potential best deal on the PVR

i'm sure both FS and BB carry the PVR i would asume

Yes they both do but try calling retentions first before proceeding. Could possibly use Bell as a comparison as they are literally handing out the PVRs for nothing. I just called in 2 months ago and asked to renegotiate my retentions deal as it was coming to an end and in a split second their like how about a free PVR and $20 off for a year? sold!

WAIT... dont trade it in. this will take place in a few weeks. not much other info. any regular DCT qualifies as long as you own it

launch date is estimated right before new years or just after.

way2quik 12-19-2011 05:51 PM

I wouldn't mind if Shaw allowed free replacement of my old Motorola SD box for a HD box.
