Best Buy Deals (Sunday Flier)

[huesmann]

Half Life: Opposing Force $9.99
HL:GotYE $17.99

Didn't see anything else in the weekend flyer that rang a bell as a "deal."

 

[Finality]

[ForeverSilky]

Are there any deals on cdrw drives?

 

[dc]

Silky: I didn't see anything worthwhile on CD-RWs. Doesn't mean there aren't any, but nothing that I would call a Hot Deal.

 

[ZeroBurn]

i'm still waiting for free HL copy from that hot deal a few months back

hehe

 

[rwutang]

r u sure about this deal? i had my friend go check this out at the local bestbuy, and when they went to scan it, it scanned at 29.99. can someone verify this?

These are from the ad papers for tomorrow, Sunday.

Here's some more stuff from the ad. I live by Chicago and we get the Sunday paper with the ads on Sat also.

I/O Magic internal CD-RW drive, 8X4X32, $159.99 - $30 mail in rebate = $129 eventually if you ever get the rebate

PNY 50 pack of 12X 80 minute CD-R's $17.99 - $10 mail in rebate = $7.99 eventually if you ever get the rebate

That was all that jumped out at me.

[ZeroBurn]

the $18 price alone is plenty for a hot deal

 

[Packerbacker]

Does anyone know the quality of the PNY CD-R's? I would like to know what factory makes these. Thanks for your help!

the quality should be pretty good i've used them before and haven't had a problem

besides at this price i don't mind a few screwups, but with burnproof i don't even care anymore

Are there any cell phone deals in the Flier?

I just saw something else that might be a warm deal. CompUSA has a Maxtor 45 GB HD for $169. No rebates or anything. But they don't say if it is 5400 rpm or 7200 and I don't know enough about Maxtor to say. The picture is pretty blurry as well. But maybe someone can do just as well at Buy.com if you can find some coupons, I don't know.

CompUSA also has a cordless PCI network card. I can't tell who makes it or how fast it is. The price is $119.99. I don't think this is much of a deal, but I haven't seen these before in stores. Maybe after a while these will come down in price so normal people can afford them. Wireless would be pretty cool. I just wonder what the range is and what other equipment you need. Also in the ad they have a Cordless ethernet bridge for $399.99. I hope you also don't need that thing to go with your wireless network card! That's pretty pricey. But it comes with a free wireless PCMCIA card, so maybe that helps with the sticker shock slightly.

There is most of a page about cell phone deals in the Best Buy ad, but I don't know much about cell phone prices or anything. And each phone requires activation, but maybe that is normal, I don't know. I don't know if these are good deals or not, but here goes:

For AT&T digital one rate they have 2 different Nokia Tri-mode phones. They show that you can get 450 minutes for $59.99. It says no roaming or long distance charges. One phone is $99.99 but has a $50.00 rebate, (5160). The other is $149.99 but also has a $50.00 rebate, (6160). The rebate is in the form of an ATM card you get by mail.

They have some phones for Sprint PCS also. One is a Samsung folding phone, (SCH-8500), for $169 after rebate. The other is a Kyocera, (QCP-2760) that is $69.99 after rebate. Each of these has a $30.00 mail in rebate. They show you can get either 500 minutes for $29.99 or 1000 for 49.99, all with nationwide long distance. In the fine print it says that the minutes are split evenly between anytime minutes and night/weekend minutes.

I just got the Nolia 5160 a few days ago. Great phone as far as I can tell. I even use it as an alarm clock. I hit the snooze button on it 4 times this morning .

lol, my neighbor works at the place where they print the BB flyers. When Win ME first came on the ad's it was priced at $59 just like good ole MS website, but then Wal-mart et all came out with $49 so BB dropped thier prices also. When ever I go over to help him with his PC I usually look over the ads for the next month.

 

[RossMAN]

I wonder how those 12x 80 mins Best Buy CD-Rs compare with the Kingston CD-Rs from Outpost? Who really cares if the price is only $7.99 after rebate.

Rich - Smart choice in cell phones although I prefer and own the one model up Nokia 6190 (6160 on AT&T's system). Don't listen to what those envious Motorola, Samsung, SONY, Panasonic, Ericsson wimps say. You should customize your cell phone, here's a great thread filled with cell phone accessory bargains.

"Pimpin" your cell phone is about as lame as "pimpin" your rice rocket - what the hell is a blue faceplate one day going to do for you over a guy with a regular faceplate on his Nokia? Might as well blow your money on alcohol (least you have a good time doing it)

 

[ScAndal]

Rossman,
I like the Nokias. I have a 5190, but they are so damn
big and heavy. looks like I have a gun in my pocket when
i'm wearin khakis'

[ZeroBurn]

i got a 6190 with a li-on slim battery, it's not that bad

sometimes i forget i'm even carrying the phone and freak out and have to check

i've been eyeing the 8800 series from pacbell though

PG: 45 gig, hmm... pretty sure maxtor's only 45 gig hard drive is a 7200rpm model.

[RossMAN]

*LMAO* Sorry I didn't realize that I was "pimpin" my cell phone and yes that would be terribly lame.

My Nokia 6190 with slim vibrating Li-On battery ($18 Onvia.com) isn't that big. I've seen thinner phones but they're also longer.
