If anyone is hankering for a pair of trendy cans, the SOL: Republic headphones will be deeply discounted at the Microsoft Store both at their online and brick and mortar stores on a first come, first serve basis.
There are also other excellent deals in store. It is a part of Microsoft's 12 Days of Deals Christmas Promotion. Let this schedule sheet speak for itself!
- Dec 09 - Dell Tablet $99
- Dec 10 - Garmin Fitness Watch + $25 Gift card $99.99
- Dec 11 - AT&T Nokia 1020 - Free
- Dec 12 - Fitbit Flex and Yurbuds Fitness Earbuds w/$25 gift card $99.99
- Dec 13 - GTA 5 $20 (assume xbox360 only)
- Dec 14 - Surface "complete bundle" combo deal $100 off
- Dec 15 - Xbox Music pass 1 year $30
- Dec 16 - HP Pavilion X2 13 $599
- Dec 17 - 60% off SOL Republic Headphones $40
- Dec 18 - AT&T Lumia 1520 Free and $50 app card w/purchase
- Dec 19 - JBL Flip Bluetooth Speaker $40
- Dec 20 - HP Envy 15 $499
If this pattern continues for the deals, this is how it will be. At brick and mortar stores, the first 20 customers get the full discount or "Doorbuster", followed by a lesser, all-day "Daily Deal" until supplies are depleted. For the online Microsoft store, the first 100 customers get the "Doorbuster" followed by the "Daily Deal" until supplies are depleted.
Today, I actually managed to snag a Dell Venue 8 Pro at a local store for $99. Boy, the deals and this tablet are worth the hype! Luckily, three hours was enough of time to be at the front of the line. But I cannot say how it will be later on.
