I would get the 20 or 5...much cheaper, yet still both badass cameras.

It will be BB this year

I assume that is supposed to be a $15.77?

Exactly, you have to use the BOA for the first 3 months only. After the first 3 months...not really worth it.

Ebay or Howardforums

Mark you are right, there is no way a store will back out of BF, but they don't advertise as many loss-leaders as they have done in the past. I don't think this is becuase of 9/11 or hurricans...but they just don't make any money off of them.

The Skivey: You buy something with your BOA debit card. Say the total is $1.23 or $24.23. They will charge you the next whole dollar amount, $2 and $25 respectively. They will transfer the change, in this case $.77, to your savings account and match it. Up to $250 total from them. So you make a $1.23 purchase, you will be charged $2, and $1.54 will be sent to your savings account. Linkage EDIT: I need to add that BOA will only match you for the first 3 months. After that, its 5% a year. So you need to get the $250 in the first 3 months to maximize profit.

Nice, that is a heart warming story.

Some come out weeks in advance, others just a week before, and some you can't get ahold of until Thanksgiving Day.

BF's "hotness" has been on the decline for the last couple of years. Places like bestbuy are identifying us as their "devil" customers. They don't like us, and I commend BB for having the balls to admitt it. I can tell you they arn't the only ones with that kind of mind-set.

Except for the "voucher" items, I can usually get anything else. You work on BF though, period. If you're lucky, you get a closing shift so you can shop in the morning.

LCDs prices are droping like crazy. I don't know your budget, but I would expect to get a really decent LCD TV for cheap this holiday season.

There are usually some nice online deals on Thanksgiving Day.

Nothing bad has happened to me. As I said in another BF thread though, I have witnessed fist fights and some jackass snatched a video game out of a kids hands and tried to purchase it. One of my best BF moments happened a few years back. BestBuy had some pretty decent stuff on sale. Ads were out week before so I went in and bought everything I wanted. I stroll into BB ~10am (4 hours after they opened). The line to check out, started to your right once you entered the store and went around the entire sales floor and back to the checkouts that were on your left as you entered. There were a good few hundred people waiting to buy things. I walk up to the front counter, there are maybe 5 people in front of me. My turn, bust out my receipts and get my adjustments made and my rebates. In & out in 20 mins.

so long ago I can't remember

Probably has a plastic lens and a not-so-good sensor compared to Canons trusted glass and their Digic II.

Last deal I saw was the target one, 10% off. Circuit city has 10% off $199+ coupons floating around.

Frys is usually pretty good, Best Buy as well. I would have to say that Staples and Office Depot usually come up with the win though for me.

Only wallyworld, but I boycot them on a daily basis.

researching & planning for sure

Ive been shopping at the same stores for my entire life...so I know them pretty well.
