Does anyone know how good that Powerview TV tuner for $29.99 is?

[jay_bionic]

The bluetooth headset for $9.99 sounds amazing.

Service is bad. You have to pull teeth to get them to take anything back or admit something is defective.

[fallengod]

[Fantaz]

I'm tellin you, Factory Direct is the worst. I don't know why I see such long lines on boxing day when all they have is crap.

[Payne3d]

deleted. Hope you enjoy all the refurbished goodness.

How would you know if you aren't in the line up since 4am in the morning with the rest of the idiots?

Think he means at the check out lines. They always have long lines at the checkout. The cashiers like long lines - they are so slow. Worst cashiers ever.

[techygeek]

I just called to clarify what products are going on sale as of the 24th (top of flyer that I was emailed says "visit our stores on Dec. 24th for advance boxing week prices on select products") and was told that everything that isn't a door crasher or currently has a mail-in-rebate will be sold at boxing week prices as of Saturday. And in fact some things have already been marked down as of today.

[fakishan]

so this is in stores only?

first 1-5 customers only.. so you have to line up earily in the morning if you want thoses.. I love to get the $9 drive encloser

[techygeek]

everything but the door crashers will be online also... but shipping is high unless you order several items. (there's a $10 min shipping charge)

[djjosee]

That's what I was thinking and their shipping seems pretty pricey.

$9.99 adaptec 3.5" usb enclosure

[Siefer999]

keep in mind! all advertised good deals will be sold out early! i hit a factory direct at 11am last year after making my rounds at fs and bb and everything good was sold out. there was a line up to get in, there was a line up to checkout and there was a line up to get out!

I know someone who works in the Woodbridge store and he says that they're bursting at the seams with inventory. Apparently $5,000,000 blowout is not an exaggeration. example - the $9.99 door crasher body glove bluetooth headset, they have thousands of them. He also said the lines should move much faster this year because they've added more cashiers and are using a better checkout system.

$9.99 adaptec 3.5" usb enclosure

I don't think its got a fan though...

[Haris]

i was thinking of buying their dvd burner for $30... would it be dumb to buy their 3 year warranty for $15 more.. or any additional warranty? Thanks

and how good are benQ's dvd burners.. the DW1610, DW1620, and DW1625

[Chaosx]

Don't get the benq dvd burners, spend a few extra on a better quality product.
Benq burners are crap

benq dw1610 not good... no DL capability and can't compare w/ 1620/1640...

1625 just has the lightscribe(LS) tech... nothing "superior" IMO... i'm more concerned about the overall quality as opposed to how good the disc "looks" on the outside :p

get the 1620/1640... or if u can wait, the 1650/1655.

benq sucks?

maybe if ur talkin about the DQ60 which FS is selling as a doorcrasher, but that's not true for the benq DW series... v. well-reviewed drives....

[techygeek]

Has anyone ever used one of these 3.5" hard drive enclosures with built-in DIVX media player ?

http://www.factorydirect.ca/catalog/product_spec.php?pcode=CA3500

I'm considering buying one but not sure about codec compatibility and playback quality. Has anyone seen this elsewhere ?

[Mint]

anyone see any notable deals at FD?

[intx]

for that CD/DVD case, do we have to buy 3 for $49.98 or can we get 1 for $16.66?

edit: NM $19.99 each

Anyone want to meet at the Mississauga location to group buy, so we can purchase them for $16.66 rather than $20 and save.. $3.33?!

Hey, we're RFDers :lol: Besides $3.33 with tax becomes $3.83 and if you're interested in two, you save twice that.

[Mint]

Any buy the wireless reciever? I bought an Advent one from FD about 2 years ago. It works ok when tuned properly, but when adjusting the volume, theres a tonne of static.

Was wondering if this one was any better.
