[* Official Black Friday CAMCORDER Thread *]

I just looked at the circuit city ad again and I didn't see it said after rebate -where can I find that? I still want to find out that model number at circuit city too!

 

I noticed on cnet they have posted the the Panasonic PV-GS31 has a $50 rebate good through January 28, 2006 if this helps at all. Which would mean that circuit city's before rebate price (if the advertised $199 is really after a rebate) would be $249.99? Which is the same price it will be at best buy (if it's the same model) and Sears on BF.

 

Which then leads me to ask if the best buy/sears prices listed is before or after rebate?

 

Also, Sears will have the Canon ZR100 MiniDV Digital Camcorder with 2-1/2 in. LCD on sale for $249.99 on BF and consumers report ranks this one their best values in the digital tape category.

first off, heres a link to the $50 mail in rebate:

 

CC /image/help_and_services/rebates/cameras/EB107_071005.pdf (sorry cant insert URLs yet - replace CC with with circuit citys web address)

 

...in its wording it doesnt have restrictions on purchase price or where you purchase from... the BB advertisment for the PV-GS31 is for instant savings so if all works out you would actually pay 200 for the cam...

 

additionally the CC panasonic thast going for $199 is the PV-GS19 model which is more inferior...

 

as far as the Cannons im just too worried about the motor noise reports from many people... it also helps BB has no interest for $300 purchases vs. CC has no interest @ $500 purchase...

[Circuit City Black Friday Ad Items & SCANS Posted!]

so just a question, does everyone else think that those dvd box sets underneath the 4.99 dvd's are good for saturday too?

they probably are since the only "doorbuster" or fri-morning-only sale items seem to be only on page one... the rest of the flyer says fri and sat
