Floppy Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 The Kodal C350(the $129) is a REALLY nice camera, and from playing around with it in store, it takes pretty good photos. I'm definitely going for it next Friday. The computer is NICE. I thougth it was only a 40gb and it's actually an 80? For $150, it's a nice computer. They didn't have very many and said they probably wouldn't. The Insignia TV that's $58 is nice too. My mom wants to try and get it, but I want the 27'' Magnavox for $122. I think I convinced her enough to go with me though, so yay!
donny2001 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 I was also at my Best Buy tonight. I saw approximatley 39 (One was purchased) of the Curtis 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound. It seemd to be a very nice model. I did not see one on display though . It was in 2 locations, one was the home theater area, and one was in the main aisle on a pallet. Obviously these will be moved for Friday (Possibly built up as a wall for the checkout lines. I also witnessed 11 (One was purchased or somewhere) of the Dynex 8-outlet Power Supply. It is a VERY nice model for its price, especially if the unit fails you are covered up to $100,000! This was found with all the other Power Supplies and battery backups with no price tag. DON P.S. I did not look at any of the computers of TVs.

saturnboy01 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 PLEASE more details on the computer....I am drooling at my desk right now as I type this....MORE INFO MORE INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Floppy Posted November 19, 2005 Author Posted November 19, 2005 PLEASE more details on the computer....I am drooling at my desk right now as I type this....MORE INFO MORE INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It's 80gb, with a CD-DVD RW drive. 512 MB of memory, I think. My mom was really impressed, she wants to get it just on the fact that it has a CD-DVD RW drive. Oh, the monitor isn't too bad either. Funny.. I talked to the digital camera lady and the computer guy, and the computer guy didn't even know they were going to be selling them for $150 and the camera lady was like, "How do you know about this?" I told her gottadeal.com. :)

gisellerol Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 wow i am impressed makes me want to get there earlier to make sure i get one
saturnboy01 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 I KNOW I KNOW..MORE details. I might go tomorrow to my best buy and take a look at it.
saturnboy01 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Are you sure you were looking at the right model??
Floppy Posted November 19, 2005 Author Posted November 19, 2005 Are you sure you were looking at the right model??From what they are showing as they $350 savings, it would have equaled the amount. This model was the lowest on the chain(the cheapest).. so I don't know which other one it could be.
Guest general41391 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 They already have the computers out?!?! W H A T ! ! !

VaderGCP Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 DVD BURNER?! That alone makes me want it. "Look Dad...I got you a new computer...now you can check news and sports scores at any time online...*whispers*andIcanburndvd'swhenyou'renotwatching*whispers*"
DaleRider Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 The eMachine from Best Buy (that will cost $150 on BF) does not have 512 MB...it has 256 MB (unless the ad lied or someone typed it wrong) ? LOL!!! I cannot believe people are looking at the scanned ad and thinking it's wrong. Wasn't last year or the year before. And at $150, it's NOT going to have a DVD burner, just a CD-RW/DVD combo drive. Just because people are finding the "cheapest" eMachines on on the shelf at BB or wherever doesn't mean they're looking at the BF blitz machine, and are probably not. I'd almost guess these computers are assembled to these specs for just the BF sale. eMachines, at least on their website, doesn't even list a desktop machine with a Celeron processor.....doesn't mean there won't be one with that CPU (as eMachines is a subsidiary of Gateway, obtaining Intel cpus is just a matter of sending them over.....), just that their standard cpu they sell is an AMD. The Intel cpus, typically more costly than AMDs, are in the Gateway machines. Gateways typically are pricier than eMachine computers....it's all about price-points and the market they're selling in.
VonnegutFan Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 It will NOT have a DVD burner. It's a CD burner and a DVD drive combo. It can WRITE CDs, PLAY DVDs.
Guest general41391 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 I'm confused because my friend has the eMachine and it burns DVDs?
DragonSlayer1500 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 DVD burners cost almost half as much as the computer's going to.

DragonSlayer1500 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 All of em are after rebate too....glad I already have one
RossMAN Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 DVD burners cost almost half as much as the computer's going to.I buy all my DVD Burners from NewEgg.com for $40.00 or less with free shipping. No waiting in line for 6 hours and usually free or $1.99 shipping. These are top rated LiteOn, NEC and Pioneer DVD Burners. They are usually OEM, don't come with software and you have to open up your PC and install the DVD Burner.
Floppy Posted November 19, 2005 Author Posted November 19, 2005 Gottchaaaa. But how big is the hard drive? Is it 40gb or 80? And IS it after rebate?
smallwood Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 The items sold will be per the ad specs. Most BB's are NOT putting out the BF computers, laptops and other larger items. This is from a couple BB managers. These items are being left in the back, as not only will they be sold almost immediately, but if they place them on the floor, there will be a mad dash when the doors open. Most of these units will go to the first people in line that get tickets. The remainder will be the luck of the draw.

warped_three Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Just a word of warning. Don't get too hung up on a DVD burner on your computer. I have a DVD burner on my laptop. I've had it for a year now and have never once burned a DVD! I can't copy my current DVDs nor can I download a movie from an online site and burn it to a DVD. I have a digital camera and a digital camcorder. Thought I might burn a DVD from my camcorder, but of course, I haven't done that either. Lots of toys - no time to play!
KhakiBoy Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Yea, I've only used the one in my laptop once, to backup data. The one on my desktop I've used twice. Once to make the Restore CDs so I can restore it back to base configuration. The other time was to burn a tv show I recorded for a coworker who forgot to record something for his wife.
ObiRich Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 You guys just don't know where to go to get the free software that will let you do those things with DVD burners....
aplefka Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Just curious, I only browsed through the thread and might have missed it. Did anyone see the 19" MAG monitor that's gonna be $169 AR? And does anyone have any idea on how much the rebate will be for?
