Which I hope is the case, because the 2nd list is pretty much the usual run of the mill deals they have going on from week to week. (Nearly everything with a rebate that is.)

I would assume the deal is without rebates because there are other things, (like the DVD blanks) that specify after rebate. In the posts I have seen.

I had a few friends who worked at BestBuy last year around the shopping season and they said that they were all required to work on BF, if they tried to get out of working, or didnt show up, it would be grounds for termination.

I know that they do their weekly sale ads online as well, though their online stock usually sells out quite quickly. However I do not recall being able to get their BF deals online last year. (But someone correct me if im wrong.)

Alright, fantastic then. (The link) http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/pdet.to?poid=311538&ccid=1291021&rcid=0&seg=HHO&coid=0&poidspipedstring=

Model number is A80-S178TD if you wouldnt mind, please google for it, switch over to the froogle page, and it should be the first link. (toshibadirect.com or something of the sort) It would be much appreciated seeing as how I cannot post links.

Googled the model number, and it is for sale at the following link for 599. EDIT: (I cant believe it, I cant even post a URL link.) # Specifications Intel Celeron® M Processor 370 [1.50GHz, 1MB L2, 400MHz FSB] # Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition # 256MB PC2700 DDR333 SDRAM (256MBx1) # 15.0" Diagonal XGA Display (1024 x 768) # ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® 9000 IGP with 64MB DDR shared graphics memory, user adjustable to 128MB # 40GB HDD (5400rpm) # CD-RW/DVD-ROM Multifunction drive # Atheros® wireless-LAN (802.11b/g) # 1 Year Standard Limited Warranty CompUSA is the place I camped out last year, and was extremely frugal and only spent about 150 dollars. This year might be closer to a grand, depending on what other deals get released. I will probably pick up 5 or 6 of the 250GB HD's, maybe the Laptop, (Although it was entry level last year I would assume it just needs to be cleared out this year.) Might pick up the ATI All in Wonder card, been wanting to get one for a friend, and its about 60-70 off most places you can get it online, nearly 100 at others. Also might get the 180$ LCD screen, if it is the right model. There are two version on CompUSA's website, one of which is an extremely cheap quality one it looks like with a 25MS response time, however the other one looked pretty solid. Will also pick up atleast one of the wireless keyboard/mouse sets at 15 bucks a pop, and probably that MX1000 to give to somebody, I bought mine for 80 and still love it.

I had a similar experience last year at Comp USA with the Laptop they had for I guess 399 after or before rebates, I forget. It was the one they handed out vouchers for and I was about 12th in line, and got one of the vouchers. But I found a few others things that I wanted, so held off on the laptop. I dropped my stuff off back in my car and walked into where the laptops where and found a guy milling around, looking around. I asked him what he was looking for and he said the cheap laptop. I said you had to have a voucher, and he looked sad, but I said he could have mine, and gave it to him. I felt much better doing that then I think I would have selling the voucher to several people who offered to take it earlier in the morning while I was shopping the first time around right after the doors opened.
