CompUSA Store Ad (July 4th - July 7th)

[JohnnyBlaze47]

Well, I was hoping that I would be able to get a copy of the July 4th ad, and I did. So, in all its glory, is the ad. I figure this will be more popular than last week's...but I just don't believe there is something to really make CompUSA your first stop on the 4th for deal-hunting. Especially this crap about free stuff AFTER purchasing highly overpriced cables.

If you have any more questions about the ad, just let me know, and I'll give you as much detail as I can. I'm just going to start at the first item and group them that way.

Okay. That's almost all of it. The ONLY products I didn't list were a LG Electronics Sprint PCS Cell Phone (289452) and all of the FREE software/stuff in every CUSA ad. I'll list what the products are in that, but right now, I'm just a little dead from all this typing to put prices and such. Just know that they all end up being free somehow. LOL! If somebody wants to know the prices of either the phone or the software/stuff, post it here, and I'll post back with the info. Here's the list of the free software/stuff.

Hehe...2! That's why I need the scanner (hint-hint)!

 

[DealMonkey]

Yeah, WOW! Thanks for typing all that in

I'm sorta surprised that there's no deals on PC games. CompUSA usually has something they're blowing out...

Just the Asheron's Call & Palm Games listed in FREE AFTER MIR. Good point, though. Maybe because it's only 4 days?

Laplink Gold 11.0 (284443) $169.99 - $20 Instant Rebate - $80 Mfr. MIR - $70 Mfr. UPGRADE MIR = $0 after MIR

Yep, it is an upgrade rebate on Laplink.

 

[Otaking]

Awesome post, thanks for the info. I'm heading to CompUSA on July 4th.

 

[geckojohn]

So, is the dvd player really free after rebate? After reading the post, it seems like you have to purchase the cable also... What time does Compusa open on July 4th?

Thanks,
John

 

[SuperWrat]

the DVD player... for $40 (for cables) sounds good. I assume both brands are the same machine...

thanks!

 

[ween]

thanks for the hard put into this post. you rock.

Yeah, to get the main bundle rebates on the DVD player, you must purchase the cables as well. Also, I think they're TECHNICALLY listed as 2 different brands, but it may just give CUSA a chance to change players in the stores in case they have too many/too little.

 

[randomlinh]

anyone know anything about the router? ie, will it forward port ranges?

[bleeb]

Johnny Blaze is 'da man'.

 

[Cheapest]

Is that means I can use 'MONSTER S-VIDEO & AUDIO CABLE KIT (289005) [$39.99]' received to get both DVD player for FREE?

 

[dgodwin]

If you click the link above for the nikon camera, it brings up the coolpix 2500, for $299.99 right now. Seems like a better deal, especially since $349.99 is the MSRP for the camera.
