    futureshop just recently began posting acer's in their lineup pending for the 18th of april.
    (futureshop was purshased by bestbuy several years ago in canada, as was intially slated to be replaced entirely by the bestbuy name, however bestbuy has neglected to do so, and probably sees it is in their best interest to differentiate the two largest retailers in canada to gain a larger market share)

    however, the acers have only been listed on futureshop's website and not bestbuy. which brings forth the question, did acer make an agreement with bestbuy? in which case i imagine they may begin shipping acer's into the US arm of bestbuy as well, or is this strictly for the futureshop arm of bestbuy?

    anyone know?
