Zellers RCA 1000 Watt 5 DISC DVD with HDMI $49.99 or $39.99 with coupon

[xdigital]

Thank a lot OP!
I just got the Phillips Ultra DivX Home Theater System for 49.99 + GST
First, the manager denied the printed info from the website because he said that's not an actual URL from zellers website!!! I said to him that if he had a computer that can access the Internet, I could show him how I could get that info from the Zeller online. Then he took the paper and went back to his office; About the 5 mins later, the clerk at the electronics department got the phone call and told me that I could get it for $49.99
I did also have the printed coupon in my pocket, but I didn't want to try. $49.99 for this Phillips is already an amazing deal!!!


Here is the info from www.consumer.philips.com
Some Specs:
** Compression formats: DivX 3.11 , DivX 4.x , DivX 5.x , DivX 6.0 , DivX Ultra , MPEG1 , MPEG2
** Picture enhancement: Progressive Scan , High Def (720p, 1080i) (HDMI)
** Support USB Drives and have a docking station for ipod!!!

I also have the RCA system which just broken yesterday, because its 5 changing discs system is not good. So if you have a choice, I recommend buying the Phillips. The Phillips also has Digital coaxial input, which the RCA and the Panasonic don't have.

Oooooooo Nice!! I like. I'd definately go for the Phillips. I have a phillips dvd player with divx now and I love it. It'd be nice to have the home theatre built in so I can get rid of my old stereo.

The system I got was an RCA RTD258 model

Picture shown in earlier post was RTD259

RTD258 at Tiger.com

Note the bad reviews at tiger.com You're right, RCA is probably only worth $50

I bought the RTD258 there a while ago. It's a piece of crap! Had problems with it playing recorded dvd's, bought a new dvd recorder, it plays discs recorded on the new recorder better but still not great. Get occasional "Bad Disc" messages with purchased dvd's, the sound is very inconsistent and it's just generally a pain to operate and get it to do what you want when you want. Unfortunately I threw out the box or I would return it. I only kept it this long because I thought the problem was with the brand of discs I was using, or the cheap recorder I had. Thought about buying a new one just to see if it was the particular one I got but now they've changed the model slightly so I don't think I could exchange it. Might call RCA and say it doesn't work properly but I don't know how far that will get me.

Thanks jbfd,
Picked up the RCA HT system this evening around 6 p.m. There were at least 2 other boxes left. I am going to use it with the Sharp Aquos 37" that I picked up with a PM at The Brick for $879.99
It is only going in the bedroom so I'm thinking it should be fine.
Thanks again,

I have this system set up with a Sharp Aquos 46". One of the problems I have with it is every time you play a dvd you have to change the settings (on the RCA) to get it to play properly on the tv.

2 RCA's and 1 philips available at the oakridge zellers.
happy hunting.

when I went, they had a correction notice printed out, telling the CSR that they should go ahead with the adjustment. The correction notice is at the electronic dept's cashier's desk so this is in fact valid. For those who couldn't get it, should purchase it and do the adjustment later. Dunno if this correction is regional.

Just visited my local zellers and i asked the staff about the 5 that were on the shelf they said it was a different model...... the only problem i have is its the same one that everyone else is getting.... go figure... asked the manager and he said they were sold out of that type.went back to electronics and the staff was taking the rca ones and moving them.

Bestbuy is selling this Phillips Home Theater System for $319.99

I wonder if I could use the Zeller receipt to PM BestBuy (which is about 2 blocks away)
49.99 - (319.99 - 49.99)*10% = $22.99

[terribly]

Tried Fort Erie... gotta go back when the manager is there tomorrow morning.

I'm not even gonna try the coupon if she says yes...

[sandman101]

dont bother at the richmondhill hillcrest location. they got absolutely nothing left.....

This is a totally legit deal.
They even had a print out on the shelf that matches the mouseover copy referenced above.
Thank you, thank you, thank you OP.
Hit the jackpot twice tonight.

p.s. RCA is crap, and has been for a long, long time- go with the Phillips.
p.s. 2 The guy in electronics says he's picking up one as soon as he comes to work in the AM

hi i tried this at the galleria mall at dufferin and dupont and i was denied they said the deal is only for 50 dollars off from the require deal. so if the rca is 229 on sale - 50 so 180 and not 50 on sale. they miss print the deal maybe tommorow it will be corrected. i was told by the manager

WOW. good catch!!
wonder if that will work. 40 + tax is a killer deal but 27 is even more crazy

I got the RCA around 5:00. The Philips model HTS3555 is listed on Zellers website as having a price of $299.99, but the correction notice states "regular 129.99 to 269.99", so I didn't think it would qualify. If I'd have known they were including it for $49.99 too, I'd have bought that instead of the RCA. Oh well, it's still a helluva deal!

Thanks to the OP!!!
