The Official 'Boxing Day Purchases' Thread


Recommended Posts

I'm going to be going out to get stuff tomorrow, WAAAAAAAY too crowded today, there was one store we drive by where people had to line up and were let in in small groups of about 10 :pinch:

Probably going to get a switch and an NIC for the server and a new mobo and processor for me :D

Most of the 'big sales' I've seen are at the big-box electronic stores like the Best Buys where some of the price drops of from mail-in rebates. Clothing and music stores seem to have the same prices as with regular sales. Makes me wonder what Boxing Day is really for anyways.

It's not Boxing day anymore as it was say 3 or 4 years ago.

Now it's Boxing Week Sales. It's a marketing scheme now, because not everyone will make it there on one day.

In a few years, boxing week prices will be a week before boxing day. And I bet, it'll stay the same on boxing day. There'll probably be like doorcrasher on boxing day or wahtever, but u know what i mean.

Well, I've wanted a Playstation 2 for quite some time, and today was the day to get it. :) Future Shop was selling the SCPH-50001 models (Progressive Scan, Built in IR Receiver) for $199.99 CDN with a free DVD Remote. The new remote, that doesn't come with the IR box since it isn't necessary anymore (SCPH-10420). Then I went and got an 8MB Sony Memory Card for $24.88 CDN, and picked up a copy of 'Castlevania: Lament of Innocence' for $49.99 CDN. So, I'm pretty pleased with all that, I feel like I got a pretty good deal. I also went and picked up some Microsoft Wireless Optical Mice for $29.99 CDN, some Lego Orient Expedition sets @ 50% off for my younger brothers upcoming birthday, and some packs of batteries that were on sale.

There's a few other things I'm looking at, like a DVD burner, but that fits into the 'boxing week' category. All the stuff I got today was on sale today only. I'm pretty happy. :)

I went out today; it was retarded busy. I love how on Christmas holidays and Boxing day people forget how to drive and just act like idiots on the road.

Anyway, I bought LoTR - TTT EE today and I'm loving every minute of the extended and new scenes. I also love watching the bits on how the films were made. Just incredible.

I went to Best Buy at 11:00 a.m. and there was no lines at all. WTF?

Anyway, I absolutely scored, trading in stuff for store credit. I traded some DVDs I hadn't gotten around to watching, getting back much more in store credit than what I actually paid for them! I also traded in a new PSone memory card for $15 credit. (I paid $4.24 for it at Target). I also had a keyboard for the Palm M500 series that I paid $2 for on eBay. They gave me $52 for it, which was surprising since I thought it would no longer be in there system. All in all, I got $260 credit just for that stuff. I used that, along with other gift cards I had received and got an iRiver iHP-120 20GB MP3 player with no money out-of-pocket. :woot:

Well I got bought a duplicate copy of the Indiana Jones DVD Box Set, so I took it back today and swapped it for the Back To The Future DVD set and the entire first series of Frasier which were both in the sales.

The sales are great :D :)
