sweeeeet, got a 42" olevia there 2 years ago, still looks and sounds great, although it took 6.5 hours to buy it and pick it up out back...that was Black Friday, though
Anyone know anything about that Sceptre X32BV? I know 1080p on a 32" is kind of useless, but would still rather get it than not at $399 after MIR- unless the TV is a POS... it's worth noting it's selling on the egg for $599...

It's Vista. It'll slow to a craw even with dual core. Don't see info on RAM which Vista alone gonna take up most if not all just to do it's little dancing logo.

I have been using vista for a long time and what you have written makes absolutely no sense.

+1
if you need, upgrade the ram. its dirt cheap anyway. I'm on my FAR acer notebook from Staples right now, vista running fine. I don't care about pretty graphics, so I optimized for performance to make it scream (relatively)
also want to ask... anyone know how MC is on return/rebuy? I've never been to one since its a good ways away. Might be worth it to buy the laptop early and just stroll down in the morning to do that, if MC will allow.
the website says OOS for the laptop, probably won't show up in inventory till saturday morning. oh well. hope i dont have to get there too early.

My boss have it.. he click and click and wait and wait. I had work with it and pull out my hair every single time. I had never pull out my hair with any other OS even when I first use them.
Anyway, Vista take up too much system resource and leave little for other software.
Anyway, lets move on with other deals.

Anyone know which Sony 46" that is? It looks like the KDL46W4100.

LMFAO @ folks STILL complaining about Vista... Thanks for the heads up though OP! The acer would be a VERY good deal to more than a few people.

It may have changed, but a few years ago they were as good as you can get. You didn't need to be sneaky, and they actually promoted the practice. 3 years ago I went in a few days before BF I went in to check out a 37" Olevia HDTV, mentioned the BF sale and he said buy it now, bring the receipt back on BF, and they would refund/rebuy no problem. I did and it worked without a hitch. No waiting in lines or fighting crowds. In my experience, MC is one of the best stores around in all respects.
I suggest you call the store, talk to someone in TVs and ask them if they still operate the same way.

off of the ads say explicitly "IN-STORE ONLY" and in a few places on the ad "Coupons must be redeemed by 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 22, 2008. In-Store ONLY! No PHONE or WEB ORDERS, please."
so my guess is no. they put in on every ad so you won't get confused, they know how much we like to take advantage of apparent misleading.

I just bought the 14" acer on the weekend for the full price of 380, it would be nice if I could go in on saturday and get it price matched. but would I have to be one of the first 10 customers?
On the Acer, I've got an Acer Extensa w/ T2370 CPU that I bought this summer. Bumped the memory to 2GB and it runs Vista Home Premium SP1 just fine. I had to "optimize" it of course. Deleted the Norton and Acer "bloatware", turned off Vista UAC, unhid all the system icons, and got ride of the floating "clock panel". Also made the Windows control panel look like the "classic" control panel and tuned down Aero. That was about it.
Have no complaints about the performance, but the battery life is so-so (2.5-3 hours Max)
This new Acer lappy @ MC has the newer Intel mobil chipset, so it should run Vista just fine with 2GB RAM installed.
I've got Linux (PC Linux OS) running on it, as well, but haven't bothered to fix the Atheros wireless problem. When they re-spin PC Linux OS for 2009, it will likely be fixed anyway.

Read the top of the ad:
PRE-HOLIDAY COUPONS: Coupons are first come first served. Limit 1 Pre-Holiday coupon per household. Coupons will be distributed to customers in the line prior to store opening, or in the order of entering the store, until gone. Coupons must be redeemed by 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 22, 2008. In-Store ONLY! No PHONE or WEB ORDERS, please.

The MSI Wind for $299 looks like a good deal, too.
Sadly, no MC near me.

After removing the acer and mcaffee crapware, the laptop runs surprisingly fast. its vista basic, so there isn't too much to slow it down in teh first place

which samsung model is that? i tried searching on the website for the SKU but nothing comes up
nice deal. im hr away from microcenter on LI. great deals, however i'm mainly looking for HDs this BL (1TB) hopefully some online retailers will have similar prices. HDTVs pricing is awesome.
It will be one of each I would imagine, starting from the front of the line, they'll ask what you're wanting and give you a single coupon for each separate item you ask for (no multiples of a single item).
