So claimed the maanger I spoke to at Circuit City tonight (Wedn). But he could ahve just trying to counteroffer me to get me to buy there instead; I have yet to see his statement reflected in any ad on CC's website. He better not have been confusing the HD version with the ED version. Either way, I plan on slugging it out at BB in the cold hours of the early morning. Worst case Il swing by CC and pickup that Samsung 42" DLP HDTV; for $799. That CC is always so dead and since BB goes on the ticket system, if I dont get my ticket prior to open (they hand out tix at 4am; open is at 5am) ILl just walk over to the CC and jump on their special.

I got the same response as above from a Circuit City a manager just now. Basically, they refuse to pricematch BF hourly sales as they are considered limited quantities. The good news, they told me they are dropping the price on this Panasonic 42" to $1099 and will have it all weekend; allowing for orders if they run out of stock. I dont know if he was pulling my leg or what, but he was the manager of the store. Hope he got it right, CC is next door to BB and I could just swing by if I am not in time for BB> Ya know, I was contemplating filing a complaint on BBB agasint CC over the issue; it completely destroys their year round advertising regarding not being beaten. Cant say I will ever trust them on price agian. Actually a really bad thing, they just blew their name and BB usually has a better selection. The sad part, they ahve red tabs above their prices caliming they will not be beaten....

The Sears TV specials are unusually good. Mind you, the bottom price is not as good as Wallmart or BB, but if you look at the quality of the items at the price, its actually quite good. For $200, I wouldnt trade a Toshiba (panasonic manuf on the Plasmas) for an Ilo (Wallymart). Past a certain point, it doesnt pay to be cheap as you will be sorry 3yrs down the road.
