| 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. Posted via RS Mobile | |

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.

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

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.

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