is anyone else underwhelmed with the BB and FS boxing day sales?
they've got alot of big ticket items on sale (lcd's and monitors and such) but so much of it is generic brand goods
i don't think anything has really jumped out at me, i'm starting to regret not going to seattle for black friday now

Yep, I'm underwhelmed as well. I wanted an LCD Monitor, but everything on sale at BB/FS is a Generic Brand except for the Samsung 19 inch.

I have a feeling that there will be some online-only deals that will help make up for it.

Well, there is one, but it's 256MB and pretty basic.

No really good deals.
Just a lot of cheerleaders hopping up and down singing praises for BB & Futurescum in other threads. Creating lots of excitement & peer pressure.

Yeah nothing really hot. Last year was much better with Audigy 2ZS, WD 250GB, and BenQ 100-DVDs. This year doesn't have much, though the Canon SD500 is tempting.
I was hoping for PDA deals but there aren't any!
The only one is the Palm Tungsten E2 @ BB, but the sale price is more expensive than Canada Computers.
The wireless router combos are nice though.

I went through the entire BB and FS Boxing Day flyers and didn't see anything I was interested in buying. I think these guys are just getting lazy, and expect buyers to lay down their money out of habit.
Personally, I will just bank my cash, and wait for some eventual post-holiday sales.
