Title: Circuit City sale - speakers & 5-in-1
Post by: GameOver on January 23, 2005, 08:33:45 pm
For anyone looking for speakers for your cab, CC is running a sale this week on the Creative Labs Inspire 2.1 speakers.  These are normally 49.99, on sale (after rebates) for 29.99.  I have these in my cab and they are very good speakers in my opinion.  For 29.99 you can't beat it (think I'll buy a pair & put them in the closet for my next build!  'Honey...what are these for?'   ;)

CC is also selling all of the classic all-in-one joysticks (Namco, Frogger etc.) for 50% off (guess they didn't sell as many as they hoped over the holidays).  I think I'll grab one of those too for my mini-cab project.  The wife is gonna love it ('but baby - it was on sale!').  I know it's not a pile o'money, but if you were thinking about it now would be the time to grab one.

So what's 50% off their regularly inflated price come to?

Edit:

Not too bad!

Yeah, I know - more of a convenience for me since I work across the street from one.  I spend many a lunch break cruising the aisles.  Checked out a Toshiba multimedia projector today, very cool.  I like the 9ft screen.  I think I need that!

I bought the Ms Pac 5-in-1 for $10 at lunch.  Not bad!  Turns out, as far as I could tell, that only the Ms Pac and Frogger were 50% off.  I'll put this away until I'm ready to build my mini mame.

I guess I'm the designated spokesman for Creative Labs on BYOAC.

They're my favorite speakers for cabinets too, but I hate rebates.

I also have these speakers in my cab.  I really, really like them.  They were worth every penny of the $48 I paid 6 months ago. 

Mail in rebates mean nothing to me.  I've had no luck with them and consider them a scam.  I price things as they are before the rebate.  If I ever get a rebate check, I'll consider it a bonus.

Damn straight!  They ROCK! (and for $20, you CAN'T beat it).

You must be doing something wrong.  I've sent away for tons of rebates, and have received them every time.  They're a great way to get a great deal.

I don't want to get into a rebate argument.  The point was that these speakers rock at the full price.  Really rock at the rebate price.

Speakers = good
Rebates = bad

I got mine for $40 at Fry's without a rebate. I'd rather do that than get them for $20 with a rebate.

Sounds like a decent deal, but I'm not buying anything from ccircuit city.

Looks like these are on sale again.   :D  $29.99 after mail-in rebates.
