Well, it's nice to see that Best Buy is finally getting in the game.
A quick peek at their Midwinter Sale page - specifically, the 'too late to make it into the flyers!" page - and you'll find about a dozen LCD and Plasma HDTVs on sale in an attempt to one-up Circuit City's more robust sale. The Best Buy sale has the benefit of including a few Plasmas - like $400 off the Panasonic 50" 1080p Flat-Panel Plasma HDTV - which Circuit City does not. However, you won't find a discount much over $500 here... though that does put a good Toshiba 1080p 47" LCD down to a very affordable $1500.
Also very affordable: a SquareTrade HDTV warranty, which is thirty bucks cheaper on that Toshiba than Best Buy's warranty (and better reviewed, too), and that's before you use Coupon Code SUPERBOWL to knock 33% Off your warranty's price. Assuming you use it on or before February 3rd.
Despite all this, we still can't help but feel Best Buy's holding back, though we're not quite sure what for. Are they really expecting people to panic-buy an HDTV mere days before the big game? And of course, their lack of a free autographed football could be a deal-breaker.
