Boxing day Deals at Currys - Samsung 50"

soljiv · 22-12-2008, 2:28 PM

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

I should have a clearer idea as to how much the TV will be on christmas eve. Will post a price then

marty2005 · 23-12-2008, 9:53 AM

Sure the adverts will be on tv Xmas day.

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

soljiv · 23-12-2008, 11:17 AM

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!

soljiv · 23-12-2008, 1:50 PM

I am not sure on that model. Currently @ £1700 or thereabouts so i doubt it. unless we have struck a major deal with Samsung

avnutter · 23-12-2008, 9:32 PM

i think the 42g7000 is gong to be £549.99

cmclean · 23-12-2008, 11:16 PM

Oh might have to punt for one of those Samsungs at that price

soljiv · 24-12-2008, 3:49 AM

kamy100 · 24-12-2008, 8:57 AM

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.

Any news?

buttybox · 24-12-2008, 5:25 PM

How did you manage to reserve the lg 42? Its still showing full price on the website

Eyewhy · 24-12-2008, 5:33 PM

I have it on pretty good authority that the 50A556 will be £599. Don't shoot me if i'm wrong tho........ Roll on 7pm to see what the website says!

salzy · 24-12-2008, 5:34 PM

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.

yonderblue · 24-12-2008, 5:35 PM

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

Still a good price for 50" 1080P

ammurad · 24-12-2008, 6:38 PM

Hi. Would i be able to buy the LG tv straight of the dixons website and have it delivered? or is the stock only reserved for the instore sales, in which case i would have to reserve.

v40mav · 24-12-2008, 6:46 PM

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 -

solomyr · 24-12-2008, 6:50 PM

Just ordered the LG 42LG7000 of dixons for 535.27 delivered.
Thanks to the op

soljiv · 24-12-2008, 7:32 PM

Turned out to be a better deal than expected. £699 s a bargain for a 1080p 50" plasma

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.
