From the ad concerning the 6-hr specials:
"These hot offers are good Sunday 8AM-2PM only"

The rest:
"These offers good all week!"
"Prices good February 20-26, 2005"

If I'm reading it right, according to the fine print some of the free, $25, and $50 items require purchase of a desktop $699 and up. :disgust:

The way I read it, all of the $25 and $50 items require computer purchase as well as 4 FAR items, but none of them are ones I have posted.
The ones tied to a computer purchase include an Epson printer/scanner/copier, Backup Now! software, Norton Sysworks & Antispam, netgear wireless g router - all FAR w/desktop or notebook $699 & up. Also choice of one of several other items for $25 or $50 w/that same computer purchase. More stuff than I want to post, but anyone else please feel free!

Toshiba Stellite A75-S209-900$ AR (HOT!)
HP Paviliona803+HP 15"LCD-699.98 AR
Acer AL1912b 19"LCD,Black (16ms response time)-299.99 AR
Dallas area.

 

[ouzome]

Some descent deals considering it's COMPUSA. The BenQ or the Acer, $150 difference in price but I really want a 19". FYI - I think the confused poster doesn't realize Feb 20 is a Sunday.

 

[falsexfate]

gotta love working at compusa i have the ad in hand already

 

[goofy4ever]

i dunno, compusa:

1. treats their employees like "crap"
2. pay their employees "crap"
3. customers always give employees "crap"

no wonder it's nickname is "crapusa"!!

 

[fbrdphreak]

"CrapUSA" also has the SuperLanBoy for $39.99 AR, picking up two tomorrow

 

[Albis]

any info on the benq LCD?

 

[thunderroller]

i 'll have to look about it

yes you are a freaking loon to consider 3 rebates! you can get a comperable one for $200 no tax instead of $150 plus $300 worth of tax.

Any more details on that?

Online too?

 

[agibby5]

Are these items in store only? The website doesn't reflect the prices you have listed. Thanks!

 

[Adam8281]

Anyone know anything about the DVD-R's? $15 for 100 seems like a good deal, but I don't know if they're decent media

 

[salaku]

Picked up the last of the Liteon DVD Player/Recorder . Decent reviews for that thing. Thanks OP.

Picked up the FAR APC surge protector strip and the FAR compressed air this morning.

 

[unclebabar]

too late to get one now but did anybody actually get the Benq LCD? They were substituting Proview Pl713B at my CompUSA.

 

[WilliamWallace]

Thanks allisolm. I picked up the surge suppressor and canned air too. Two things you can never have enough of IMO.

 

[Mucker]

Allisolm kicks butt yet again! Thx

Yeah, I too had a blow up at CompUSA with a manager at their Henderson, NV store. The hassle free return policy was far from that. Let's just say my cranium pressure was running about 100psi and Mr. manager knew I was about to have a come-apart....end result being I walked out of there with all my money back. I only go to CUSA when there's a hot deal. Online shopping serves my needs pretty well.........
