*sigh* Anyone in CT thinking to get one at the Orange store, save your time and stay in from the snow. The salesman just gave a blank look, saying they never even had that model. :(

<< So if you have Amex Blue, could you buy this at Circuit City and then pricematch it using Amex Blue to the Bestbuy webpage link? Or does it have to be in stock? >>




Nope, because the bestbuy.com website doesn't even list the TV.

DonkeyKong says eat me

Called Elk Grove, no one available to help. Called Arden, they think they're still closed. Called Fairfield, no luck. Called Roseville yesterday and today, nada. Nothing at Citrus Heights either. Of all the stores I called Roseville and Citrus Heights were definately the most helpful, the other stores flat out sucked.

Anandtech effect: I was on the floor at the Thousand Oaks, CA BB when the sales person was on the phone looking for the X11 model. Who was it? :D

No luck at the Pinole, CA BB. The sales guy said they haven't had it for quite some time...

By the way, Costco B&M (at least in Richmond, CA) has the CT27SX31 for $499. As far as I can tell it's similar to the X11, anyone know the difference(s)?

Is it true?
The CT27SX31 has PIP, and is of 650 or so in Sears and somewhere else. If it is 499, IT is another HOT deal!

I'm going to check the stores in the Minneapolis region. If I can pick one up, I can make money, and I need that now.

UPDATE: Bloody hell! Nothing, but I found what I thought was a display model of the 20 hour Phillips Tivo for $159, but they caught that it was a 30 hour display model, so I bought that for $229 (not great, but not bad). Damn you, Hot Deals!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Called 4 stores in the Northern Illinois area and no go.. Figured after the 4th call, it was a lost cause. Oh well.. I would love to hear someone find this deal.

I called all the Portland, Oregon Best Buy's none of them have this model in stock but do show 1 in stock (probably a DISPLAY model) in Spokane. I'm on my way out the door, otherwise I'd call them. If someone would call them and ask if they have any in stock? They'll probably no but they do have a display model, if so please ask how much they'd be willing to sell the display model for.

Best Buy SKU 4120819.

Spokane North Wa (Store #362)
9970 North Newport Highway
Spokane, WA 99218-1366
Phone: 509-467-9656
Hours: Mon-Sat 10:00am-9:00pm
Sun 11:00am-6:00pm

The call should be FREE if you use a cell phone which has nationwide free long distance minutes, thanks!

Has anyone tried pming this with blue with another store ? I'm assuming it doesn't need to be in stock to get the blue cashback right ? Just wondering what blue will think of the exact wording on the bestbuy site.

I went to Best Buy yesterday and as I was walking towards the store I see the same EXACT TV model sitting in someone's car in the BB parking lot. I guess that an employee bought it or something.
