    Is anyone going?
    Do you guys think the price would be cheaper than online store? (after student discount & coupon code)

    i just moved to ontario and it seems that electronics are not doing to hot over here, there are gonna be some good deals this year this always happens when anywhere is having a crappy economy so i'd say yes.

    I highly doubt the store will ever be cheaper than online. Considering you have coupons and all that with an online purchase. I got my SR for $911.00 and for the same specs at micro center with 1gb more ram and a slightly bigger hard drive was 1500 on sale. After looking at the black friday ads, I have come to the conclusion that this as good as its going to get. However, i can't predict the future.

    Store matches website pricing fyi and they were able to combine the $150 off my z with the $300 off for buying a warranty at the same time that the website WOULDNT offer me. :)

    ...Yea. It was a quote i got from sonystyle.ca, that i brought to a sony style retail in my mall.

    They flat out said no.

    I guess they don't like selling things much in Canada. XD

    Wasn't even a CTO quote. It was the prebuilt Z555 that I got the price for, and the Z555 that they had in store stock. They just didn't want to lose money I guess.
