I guess I was one of the lucky ones. My Staples had a short line. After doing Wal-Mart and BestBuy I went to Staples. They weren't even open yet and there was only a short line. Bought myself a nice Dvd-rw for around 20 dollars. I was surprised by the good deals and short line! Definately check it out again this year!

Be careful - - McAfee rebates are very difficult to obtain. They often invalidate the rebates unnecessarily and make it very difficult to fix the problem. I'm avoiding all McAfee products that have rebates.

 

Well that's not very good. I didn't have problems last yr with the Norton rebates but it seems I got lucky with that. The ad actually says $69.99 - $5 instant savings - $20 easy rebate - $45 easy rebate. Maybe I don't have to deal with McAfee at all. It sounds like the rebates are all through Staples.

Don't hold your breath - usually a part of McAfee (and Norton) rebates are competitive upgrade - I have in the past lacked the needed documentation, and therefore not received the entire advertised rebate. :(

 

otoh, why buy McAfee anyway? - you can download Avast for free, and it catchs more viruses than Mac or Norton ever did.

Did they have plenty of FAR items in stock?

My uncle (loyal BF shopper with me) seems to think it is worth the deviation from our usual plan. If they only have a few of each though, it might not be worth it.

I don't know what time they opened last year but I got there around 7:30 and they still had most of the freebies.

There aren't many good FAR items this year at Staples, so I don't think there will be too many people going there first - - which means that I would expect that the stuff will still be available if you go later (but that's just a guess).

Thanks... maybe our expectations are too high, but nothing is really getting me excited as much as the 42 inch panasonic at Tweeter. Of course I will buy some of this stuff at Staples, but it would have been nice to have seen more.

 

If a lot of others think the same way, we might see some late season deals before Christmas.
