boxing day sales have been fail the past couple of years, ncix and the like will have a few OMGWTFBBQ 2-3 video cards per store, otherwise sales are like every other sale (margins are slim already)
except for notebooks i got lucky and found a 14" HP core2 w/ geforce 8400 notebook for $500 at the seymour st location while i was wandering through downtown during last boxing week
