I just tried to purchase this laptop but as I checked the return policy I noticed that on computers and laptops you only have 14 days from purchase date to return. Well this won't work for me, this is a christmas present and I don't know if my son will like this one or not. Talked to someone at best buy and they said this was their policy. You may want to think twice before you buy this laptop for a gift

Toshiba Satellite @ $499
This is an ok deal if you need a computer today, but if you can wait a week or two there will be better deals. I owned this computer for a while and it was decent.
Insignia & LG TVs @ $679 and $699
Not a good deal. Would be a good deal if they were 42''
Dynex 42'' 1080p TV @ $699
Its a 42'' TV at $699. Not to mention its 1080p. I trust that once you get this home you'd be happy with it, but it all depends how much faith you have in the Dynex brand. Its a Best Buy house brand and though I like that this TV is 1080p (which only makes a difference at 42'' or above) I can't say I'd recommend it. I'm waiting for the Samsung that will be only $100 more.
Samsung 42'' Class 720p Plasma TV @ $749
Speaking of a Samsung TV. For everyone that is curious the class designation means that its in the same class as 42'' TVs. It might be 41.5'' or 41'' or something. Anyway, this is a Plasma and I'm looking for an LCD. I don't have a room where I can black out all light and I don't want to deal with burn-in of plasmas as I have an Xbox 360 and a computer hooked up to my TVs. I'm waiting for the $799 LCD 42'' Samsung.

I'm not sure why it states $20 shipping. The website states its not available for shipping, instore pick up only. All of the stores in my surrounding area are sold out. I'm in central Illinois.

I just got off the phone with Best Buy. There are no computers anywhere. I checked the whole state of Colorado and New York before calling. They state they will remove the ad. Ridiculous. The manager told me that yesterday the computer was available for $499 but today there were none.

I tried about 6 am to buy this and was successful. And yes there was $20. shipping plus the tax 339.98 total price arrive in maybe 13 to 18 of this month. So happy I did not have to wait outside in cold air.

I guess I am lucky. I was sitting outside my local California store at 6 am (waiting for 10 am opening) and called up Best Buy ad from my Blackberry. Ordered one for home delivery by 7 am and was told it was a good thing I didn't wait for the store to open because there were NONE in stock there!!! Shipping to me by the 18th of NOvember.

I'm in Cali and was online about 7 am. I saw the ad that you could order online. I went to order and the shipping was available, I decided I wanted to go through MyPoints to order and when I went to get the 20.00 shipping again, it was gone. It also the emachine was available for store pick up except there were no stores in my area that had any. So I called 1 800 BESTBUY and the guy wrote the order up for me online... at the $299.00 PRICE... YESSSSSSSS :)

Tried to buy online this AM buy as others have stated shipping was not available and none available at any Illinois stores for in-store pickup. Went to store about 5PM to see if they would even have any available at 8:30 when the sale started. The clerk said they had them right now, he checked the computer and had 11 in stock! He went to the back and got one for the $299 price! He said they expected to sell out in the morning but they still had an entire cart full of them since the sale was not publicly advertised. He also said the they started their holiday return policy and you have until 30 days after xmas for returns!
