As previously stated, my total in all cases was well over $40.

I think that scent has pretty well dissipated by now.

it should be below $40..

Let's say your bank account only has $40, and you are using the debit card to buy something more than $40. It will be declined.

That's not how it works. It applies the $40 and then prompts for another method of payment for the remaining balance. How else do you think people are buying $50 converters with $40 cards?

Sale got extended again for this week. My Target was 100% sold out of boxes when I checked yesterday...

For anyone who purchased the APEX from Target, which model number is it ? I don't see it mentioned on the website. They have every other number under the sun but the manf model listed.

Yeah, I saw the 49.99 for an Apex also at my local Target in MN even though the ad clearly says ALL digital TV converter boxes, online it clearly says 40$ when you open that item - this is bait and switch. Anyways, did not feel arguing with Target so I went to Best Buy with my print out and price matched their Apex DTT502 to 40$, added a 10% discount for the heck of it to see what their system would do if a box costs less than 40$ and still had to pay some stupid sales tax ... (which was a few cents less then...). Well, I saved the government 4 bucks I guess

Shoot.

The DT-502 has no ability to manually add channels or do an add scan, unlike the DT-250 which it replaced. Why would APEX step backwards with a newer model ?

Yesterday I picked up a RCA Venturer. I used a voucher and all I had to pay was the sales tax. For what it is worth, I took the last converter box that the store had in stock.
