Couldn't get the TV I wanted at Best Buy.

It says in the ad that there's a minimum 20 per store, but online it says it's unavailable in store until the 29th - anyone know what's up with that?

Also, if I'm going to have to go Boxing Day morning does anyone know what time I should be lining up at?

BB and FS disabled in-store pickup for a few days during the boxing week sale. If you buy anything online you'll have to get it shipped.

I know at Northland people start lining up at 6. That was last year anyway. Mall opens at 8.

Ah, gotcha.

Looks like I'll be lining up early on Boxing Day.

6 am isn't so bad. I'll just bring some lawn chairs and my DS.

I showed up at Deerfoot Meadows BestBuy at about 5:10 and the line was all the way around the north end of the building. This guy walks up with tickets to claim one of the 20 37" Sony Bravia I was wanting, so I was happy with that. Then they do the draw at 5:30 and I win the $500 gift card. 6am they open the doors and I have my Sony Bravia for $799 and a Samsung 32" for $649 in the back of my van by 6:18.

Best Boxing day ever.

Picked up the last 37" Samsung LCD TV at Visions in the NE. I can't believe the people at the front of the line got there at 4pm on Christmas day. Crazy. I think this is the last time I line up for electronics. lol.... Last time I did it was for the PS2 at Walmart. Next time I'll just bite the shipping charges instead, and sleep in Boxing Day.

A sad statement to our (declining) society...

Just a heads up to anyone who wants to get a good laptop - Lenovo has a sale on all of their Thinkpads... pick up a T-series Thinkpad for <$1300!

http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/c...y&re=home_A_ca

For those who have owned Thinpads, you know how good they are... if you haven't... well, if you want a great laptop, now would be the time to buy.

Don't forget to add the coupon code CAPBOXINGDAY to save an additional 10% off.
