Strong buy...please don't flame this thread with a "I got a refurb inspiron for $400, this deal is warm" or "I used the $750 off coupon from Dell got a P4 with more crap for less $$".....this deal is pretty good for the time.
If you want to wait till BF, that's fine. If you want to wait till Dell has another end-of-quarter sale, that's cool too. This deal is legitimately pretty warm for the time being...
Don't buy this, Best Buy doesn't want business from us. Unless we want to pay too much they don't want our business. I am happy to cooperate because I think their store sucks.

no no, the gameplan is to drive them under. buy things that make them lose profits.
eventually they will try to eliminate us on a whole by not offering any discounts... and then they will go belly up by the time they figure out they f$@ked themselves .
I agree CC & BB prices suck! but I doubt either of them will go belly-up anytime soon. Unfortunately theres too many people who dont know any better or are willing to pay their exorbitant prices!

...yeh, but it's still an emachines. Blech.
Not worth it to have all your friends make fun of you, and strangers throw eggs at you. You'll be an instant amateur/loser. It's worse than being seen in a Daewoo.

I just got a 10% off coupon from BB, valid from 11/12 to 11/14. So, this laptop is 1000 - 100(CC) -250(rebates) = $650 + tax

This should be the hottest deal for now. BB coupons always excludes notebooks, read the fine print!

Got it for 650!!!! HOOOTTTT!!
It is YMMV tho. At first they say I can not, but after 20 min the store manager come to me, and say he can give me 10% off. It sounds like they really want to get rid off this lappy.

I like BestBuy, dont know what your beef is. Perhaps they "caught you" trying to do a price match and a rebate, or caught you trying to return something that YOU broke from another store? Sorry, that dont fly.

Or perhaps they gouge customers on prices and refuse to accept legit returns. And then there are those pesky government lawsuits that accuse Best Buy of reselling returned goods as new... Apparently, that doesn't fly either.

I've had no problems with Best Buy/emachines rebates. Note also that the new emachines (company) is one of the highest rated in customer service and support. The old, crappy emachines went under, dontchaknow.

Yeah it's wierd. Gateway did buy eMachines, but eMachines management runs the show. Gateway was not making a profit and eMachines was, so after the buyout the CEO of eMachines became CEO of Gateway.
Anyway, this is a great deal now. $799 AR in Sunday's ad - emachines $100 mail-in - $50 reward zone- $50 snail mail coupon from BB = $599 AR!
