I think Future Shop needs to tone down the Flash. I found it really difficult to figure out what the deals of the day were lol. Stupid banner moved so fast that I missed the deals in the main window the first time around.

Any remarks on today's DLP projector? I saw TI do a 3D projection presentation of a hockey game a year ago, it was wicked. Since then, didn't hear much about them selling until now.

Anyone else not getting their flash drive till the 17th? Originally it said I would be getting it today, but it looks like that has changed.

What is wrong with Dell shipping?? I've never had any orders delayed before. I ordered 8 of those discgear things and they say I'm not going to Oct 30. The USB 4 gig thing isn't coming until Nov.1.

I know Dell.com in the States is having major issues getting their product out on time.

They're overselling I think.. they're selling stuff they don't even have yet and are waiting for shipments from manufacturers to fill the orders.

If they have it you usually get it the next day.

Not exactly the best business policy. I wouldn't buy from them if I needed something by a deadline. Good thing Christmas is still 2.5 months away.

Well that's lame. I don't need the flash drive right away, but I don't like buying something from the internet and waiting too long for it. I expect to get stuff within a week.

You can always cancel your order and go buy it somewhere else, your CC isnt charged until the items are shipped.

I waited over a month for 2 X360 Play and Charge remote kits, why - because they were and are more than $30 cheaper than anywhere else. For that kind of a discount I dont expect them to have as many in stock as some people might buy.

Yeah they have the 1 year xbox live on sale for $39 and I ordered it, but I may just try and pricematch at FS and then cancel the order.

Obviously a late comment, but I picked up a Creative Zen V+ 8GB MP3 player from Future Shop for $120 yesterday. In any case, I had discounted the Future Shop days as crappy until that deal. Hopefully more to come. No free shipping though...

Just keep in mind this KVM uses PS/2 connectors, not USB.

Yeah, except they are classifying the label maker as a printer, and charging an $8 environmental fee on top of the order.

Suddenly not such a good deal after all. I'll wait until Staples has it on sale again.

All you need is get your reciept and you can get a refund on the label maker. G&T did the same thing a few weeks ago for an order for work and you can get a refund. Takes a few weeks
