This is a great help. Thanks!

Not going to do this, but saw 2 guys run a long extension cord from the restaurant that is next to the Best Buy and hook up a PS2 and a small tube tv. They even brought a small table to sit everything on. Since it might rain this year, I wish them the best of luck if they try it again. Probably use a portable DVD player, IPOD and just hang out with friends.

Good point about the printer, a $75 value on BB.com right now. And your right about the memory needing to be upgraded.

Thanks EM! Thanks and I will be at BB on Thursday by mid-day, need to get a laptop for my brother and I know those go fast. Leaning toward the 42" Plasma Panasonic as the 40" 1080P Samsung looks good, but if I choose the TV with out the installation the price only drops $50 to $1149. If I could cancel the installation after purchase and get a refund for just the value of the installation I could save $150, but not sure if that is even possible or has been done. Is it possible? Anyone else have thoughts? Thanks in advance!!:)

Thinking about buying it, saw it as BB today at it looked great. The reviews on BB.com seem to very positive. But wish I could buy the package deal for $1199 and then get a refund for the installation as I am able to do that. Currently if you buy the TV with no installation all you save is $50, the price would be $1149:(. Would save another $150 if it is possible? Anyone know if this is possible? Debating on buying the 42" 720P Panasonic instead. Any thoughts on which is better value/TV? Thanks in advance

The printer is the Cannon MP210 can be bought on BB.com for $75. You can get a new one on ebay for around $30-35.

Here is the specs for the one on BB.com, the product code is off by one (listed below is Toshiba A135-S7404). Most likely it is the same one being offered on BF, BB has a habit of changing product codes by a couple numbers to stop price matching. Not sure if that is the case here.

Had one last question. Bestbuy.com now has a bit more information on the 42" Samsung 1080P sale, it is $1,199 including installation. Has anyone ever purchased a TV from BB w/ installation and then cancel the installation to possibly get the refund? Not sure if it is possible, but I would rather save the money from installation. Thanks in advance SL

Having a hard time deciding on two HDTV's from BB on BF. Do you think the 42" 720p Panasonic for $899 or the newly listed Samsung - 40" 1080p LN-T4066F SKU: 8251303 for $1199 ($700 off from BB.com price)? The Samsung is listed bestbuy.com/thanksgiving2jt. I hear that you can not see the big gain from 720p to 1080p on anything larger than 50". Anyone have the Samsung LN-T4066F? Thanks!

The link is located in the thread called "Best Buy Bonus Deals!!!!" in the Best Buy forum. Had the same question, Bestbuy.com does not have it posted yet.

Sears has a sale for this tv that reduced it from $1399.99 to $776.99 then another 10% off it if you use your Sears card. Here is the link, thinking about buying it but I do not have a Sears card to take advantage of the additional 10%. All the stores in my area are sold out, but you can buy it online at that price. Nice deal, thinking about the 42" Panny at BB if I do not get this one. Go to Sears.com, click the Electronics link in the 10% off section, then click on the picture of the Hitachi tv. Would post a link, but I have not been a member of this forum long enough.

Just spoke to my local Sears, they said the original price is $2,199-300 off for the sale and then another -500 off if purchased before noon. The final price they quoted is $1399 if you buy it before noon. They were not sure if the Sears card rebate can be used afterwards (below). If so it could give you back another $150.
