Wondering this too. Need to pick up a graphics card and the ones im looking at are regularly sold out. Might just pick one up before black friday and request a price adjustment if it does go on sale.

might be a liquidation sale soon at NCIX - https://www.reddit.com/r/vancouver/c...up_bankruptcy/

but, reading through the comments, it looks like they don't have much inventory to begin with. many customer orders are going unfulfilled.

Went to Visions today to check out the X900E. They were pretty firm on the price saying that Sony doesn’t let them sell for cheaper.

They did say they’re doing a 60 day price guarantee which would cover both Black Friday and Boxing Day. I may just buy it and if it were to go down do the price guarantee.

They also offered me the Samsung QN55Q7 for 2000

airfare deals...please post them up

taipei r/t with 1-stop was $510 but I'm waiting to see if there's gonna be deals on non-stops or at least 787 jets used for long haul

good call on cell phone plans...gives me leverage to bug koodo's retention

my corporate gym plan's expiring...does good life or steve nash have black friday promo?

edit: oh yeah guess I need a new carry-on luggage too

If you guys don't mind getting the TV shipped, it's $1299 + tax from teletime.ca for the 55" X900E. Give them a call.

They're an authorized dealer so if anything were to happen you'll be covered under Sony's warranty.

I'm not sure if it'll get much cheaper on BF, about $300 cheaper than anything here in Vancouver.

Best Buy USA BF ads have the 65" 900e at $1499USD , ~$1900 Can. Hopefully it'll go on sale here in Canada. It's not the $1750/1799 price, but, may be the "official" sale price from Sony for BF. If Costco.ca matches that on BF, I'll probably pull the trigger on it. Costco has it currently at $2298 till Nov 23.

Paid $2400 for my 55XBR850B 3 years ago, wouldn’t hesitate to spend that much again on a Sony.

Everyone has their own preferences, but a TV gets used more than anything else in my place so why would I not want a good one?

I'm a big fan of my FALD 46" Sony XBR from 2011, so if I could've bought a 65 version for $2K I would happily take it!

I'm actually really tempted to do so but again, my current TV is pretty awesome other than it's "only" 46 inches

Mostly NCIX, I got some stuff from TigerDirect (would never deal with those idiots again) and MemoryExpress (took forever to ship) as well.

got The TV for 1599 together with the 5 year warranty. I was planning on getting it anyways as I get it back in store credit if I don’t use it. My parents got a new TV with their warranty as well a few years ago.
Also got a sound bar that they took $50 off.
All in all I’m happy as I don’t have to wait for the TV to be shipped and don’t have to deal with Black Friday busyness or Boxing Day

Yea essentially the TV was $1299 for me since I was going to get the warranty anyways $279 for the 5 years.

And yea if it goes any lower during black friday or boxing day they'd price match.
