... yeah right!

maybe after a MIR... (but i'd highly doubt it)

last yr and 2 yrs ago, cheapest cd burner was $5 after MIR....
and $50 after MIR for a dvd burner....

do all the boxing day sales appear online???


i mean are they available to be purchased? or is it only select merchandise

FS and BB were pounded last year. Certainly was far easier than fighting the crowds. Easier also for those out west, it's only 9 pm in Vancouver time when the sale prices go online, hehe. Had my Boxing Day online shopping done within an hour. Just make sure your credit card is freed up to avoid any snafus.

i don't think there'd be a diff. this yr.

last yr, server crashed right when the sale started... (BOY was that fun! )

virtually no1 could buy anything...

this yr, even if FS/BB "upgrades" their servers, there will still be a lotta ppl shopping online.
according to stats, there will be even MORE ppl shopping online than the prev. yr..

is boxing day still gonna be on 26 ?

I heard they were contemplating making it the 29th this year.... but then decided it would confuse people.

buy the MIR stuff online and shop in-store for smaller items. every year the FS server gets pounded until it won't even load. the trick is to research for boxing day thread posted by helpful RFD'ers then wait for 12:00AM. grab what you need -- if it's sold out it'll be replenished in 12hrs then 24hrs later (usually). large items & "free after MIR" are snatched quite quickly but last year another curious thing happened: some online orders will not shipped out until 3-5 days later.

i actually walked into a store (even though it was showing out of stock) and found what i needed on Dec. 28th. waited an extra day for my online order to ship but i never received the confirmation so i cancelled it. overall, i still give FS top marks for handling the amount of traffic and numerous promos during boxing day... much better than compusmart.
