I was wondering if this laptop deal was worth me waiting in line at midnight? Also, will this deal be a ticket item?
thanks
This will most likely be a ticket item at Best Buy. Not sure if it’s worth waiting for hours on end - depends on how you value your time ;-)
Note that part of the $290 in savings is the free Blu-ray copy of Casino Royale and TrendMicro’s anti virus. If you don’t want those items then the savings isn’t as high.
If you’re going to best buy only to buy this laptop, I don’t think it’s such a compelling deal to not sit this one out. I was in the market for a similar laptop but decided to pony up the extra $50 and buy the sony fw 235 for $949 and avoid the hassle, the lines, the aggravation, the time wasting and the herd rush into the store on BF. Note that I could care less about the blu-ray movie and the antivirus software used in this bundle.
