If your after a Camera this may appeal

Just seen in the paper that Jessops are opening a new store on New Oxford Street tomorrow morning and as an opening offer they have the Canon 1000d with lens kit for £199 (RRP 399) and Nikon D300 body for £549 (rrp £1099). Only 5 available on Friday and Sunday mornings but at that price for the Nikon i'm tempted to dig out my camping gear!

A new store and money losing prices, just what we need!

its one of the best ways to get a new shop noticed though. These costs will be covered one way or another, so i wouldnt lose much sleep over it.

its cheap cheap advertising

but effective. If you look back, loads of people have done it.... Currys a few months back opened a new large store format, and they had loads of offeres, TV's half price, caused mayhem on the roads, whcih in turn has Traffic updates saying that it is because of Currys, it was on the national news papers, again naming Currys. Its a good form of advertisement. Unfortunatley i dont think its going to drum up the same interest with Jessops, as they have a smaller target audience.

One of the links in the first post is to a PDF of a Jessop's flier showing all the bargains & which days they're on. They also have Canon 450Ds & 40Ds at very good prices. I suspect people will be camped out already, and you might have a couple of day's wait if you want one.
