Boxing day Deals at Currys - Samsung 50"

Just a heads up for you people out there looking for a flat panel bargain on boxing day.

We (at currys - somewhere in manchester) recieved 67 Lg 42lg7000 and 33 Samsung 50A556 1080p plasma's. This usually means that those TV's will be the lead deals on boxing day.

the LG is currently at £980

the Samsung is currently at £980 too but should be coming down to somewhere between £799 and £899.

Not doing this for profit or gain, just thought i would give people a heads up on offers

Yes these will be available in the london stores, infact nation wide but in limited quantities. The only reason we got 33 as we are one of the biggest stores in the area.

Get there early

Re: Boxing day Deals at Currys - Samsung 50"

Sure the adverts will be on tv Xmas day.

After all - didn't Currys/WoolWorths/Coco-Cola/Argos etc invent Christmas?

Re: Boxing day Deals at Currys - Samsung 50"

Very True, just thought i'd let people know if they were looking to buy any of these TV's before christmas to wait a little. The amount of people who buy on impulse despite being so close to the sales is surprising. Just thought i would save a few people a few pennies

Hi Soljiv,

What about the Samsung PS-50A756 Plasma? I heard it will be coming down to a grand in the sales - is this true?

Suave!

According to adverts in the newspapers today the sale will start at 7pm tonight (online). You can order with Free Delivery or reserve to pick up at your local store on Boxing Day.

Re: Boxing day Deals at Currys - Samsung 50"

i can confirm that the lg is definately for £549. some people on other forums have already reserved them from currys, pcworld, and dixons ready for store collection .
i believe if you go directly to the site its showing £978 however,
if you search for LG 42LG7000 in google uk then click on the pricerunner link (about 3-4 down) then ignore the price on there just click the currys logo and nothing else it will take you to the currys site and the price will show at £549.
i would've posted a direct link but it doesnt seem to work.

Re: Boxing day Deals at Currys - Samsung 50"

Add it to your basket it should come down to £549, I have reserved one myself at Currys only thing putting me off is the 24p issue it has (see review LG 42LG7000 LCD TV Review review at AVForums.com)

PCWorld direct link for £549 price :- http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/025057
Currys direct link (add it to basket it comes to £549) http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/025057
Dixons with Blu-Ray Player (not sure of make) for £659 http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/574565

Re: Boxing day Deals at Currys - Samsung 50"

Guys, just logged on here as I'm planning to upgrade all systems in sales and noticed this post.

Had been looking at panasonic T-42PZ81B - main diff is the free sat with it but a huge saving -

Any comments on which one offers better value Panasonic is about 950 -

Guys, any ideas? Dixons do not guarantee stock if you order online until the next working day (boxing day). Unsure if ordering online will work as stock WILL finish on boxing day.
