Anytime before Christmas, from a place that offers a 30 day price guarantee. That way, if it goes no sale boxing week, you can get a refund on the difference.

you have to be careful and read the fine print of the 30 day refund policy as some have that if it goes on sale for boxing day you will not get a price adjustment

I would think January would be when you get the best prices. Since the rush for customers to buy is before Christmas for gift-giving, and Boxing week (spending gift money), the stores want to get rid of the stock they have left in January.
