9/28/2006 10:23:34 AM

plasma..... cutters?

9/28/2006 8:52:52 PM

all i know is at one of our meetings this summer (at HQ, not a store), someone brought up a bransmart ad that had a plasma for under a grand - the comments were that we were going to have to beat that price for a black friday deal...but i only work there, so what do i know

9/28/2006 10:29:13 PM

home depot & lowes sell tvs in some parts of the country

9/29/2006 10:54:25 AM

Umm ... unless people are going to be offering to camp-out together, I don't see the point in this thread when there are countless websites devoted to the subject.

10/11/2006 11:00:36 PM

and there's other sites to go to, to talk about tech related subjects as well....

10/11/2006 11:08:08 PM

for those of you looking for an hdtv, best buy will have a 32in westinghouse lcd hdtv for like $450 from 5am to noon

11/7/2006 11:26:15 PM

jesus! Best buy look the best by far......but whats the chances of getting these products?

11/8/2006 1:44:06 AM

being there at 5am.

11/8/2006 8:12:01 AM

Lots of ads here, including the full best buy: http://www.dealtaker.com/blackfriday.html

haha best buy lists the Core 360 as a deal for $299.99

11/8/2006 8:31:03 AM

in best buy's ad, the 42" westinghouse lcd sounds great

11/8/2006 9:19:48 AM

Staples is pretty much the only place worth going to on black friday.

hahahahhahaa.. you'll be at the back of a 100 person line if you get there at 5am..

better be there around 10pm-midnight if you want to get the best stuff... I showed up to circuit city last year for the laptop at 5am and I was around the back of the building

11/8/2006 10:28:16 AM

well id probably hit up that hdtv if i didnt have one, reviews on amazon seem pretty good and its hard to beat it for under $500 (i got a deal on mine but not that cheap)

11/8/2006 10:29:30 AM

what does staples have?

11/8/2006 12:51:09 PM

not leaked yet

11/8/2006 12:51:43 PM

theres no official flyer yet, but im talking about previous black friday experiences.

There are always super mega awesome deals at best buy or cc, but they only have 5 of the item in stock and it takes months to get your rebate. And theres also the fact that you'll be waiting in lines forever and traffic will suck dicks.

Staples usually has some pretty nice deals on stuff, the stores are less crowded, and ez rebates are the best thing ever.

11/8/2006 12:54:20 PM

theres no rebates for BB this year, on those things like hdtvs, etc

11/8/2006 12:56:29 PM

^^ i concur

I might actually attempt to get some deals this year, what does staples usualy have on sale? laptops?

11/8/2006 9:07:32 PM

see, i can't think of anything at staples i'd want...printer, maybe?

11/8/2006 9:12:02 PM

^black friday is one of the best days to get cheap cd/dvd media, and they usually have a bunch.

11/8/2006 10:51:50 PM

^ best buy is supposed to have a 100 pack of DVD-R for $5 (normally $45)


thats one deal i may have to take them up on

11/8/2006 11:38:49 PM

last year it was ass-bitingly cold outside of CC. i got the best deal of all time, but ill never do that again.

i mean, i really don't want to do it again anyway.

11/9/2006 7:50:08 AM

last year at staples i got
200gb hdd for $20
802.11g router + pcmcia card for $20
50 dvd-rs for $4
wireless intellimouse explorer (the one in my cube right now) $15
1gb sandisk mini usb flash drive $20

keep in mind this was a year ago. They also had a 17" lcd for 150 and other various things.

The thing with staples is they're getting rid of old stock so they have tons of all the things that are on sale. While they may not have laptop deals like best buy, you dont have to get there at 12am to get shit.

11/9/2006 10:00:52 AM

I wouldn't buy Westinghouse if I were you....

and I would pay a few more dollars more to be able to get some sleep.

11/9/2006 10:26:23 AM

my roomie bought a 24" widescreen dell lcd and half the screen doesnt work anymore. Its more fucked up than any of the cheap ass LCDs ive dismantled..

11/9/2006 12:07:31 PM

i was at cross roads last year at 5amISH
i didnt buy anything b/c all the good shit was gone as soon as the doors opened

i also say 2 accidents in the parking lot where people were driving crazy trying to get a spot in line

11/9/2006 12:25:02 PM

wal-mart and CC leaked today

11/9/2006 5:11:11 PM

So compare the 56" DLP tv at best buy to the 52" LCD projection TV at circuit city.

Here is the one at best buy (will sell for $1200)
[link]http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7727374&ref=39&loc=01&st=toshiba+56"+dlp&type=product&id=1140391964310[/link]

Compare it to this one at circuit city (will sell for $999)
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Panasonic-52-LCD-Projection-HDTV-PT-52LCX66/sem/rpsm/oid/152131/catOid/-12870/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

Thoughts on them? Which one (if either) is worth the camp out?

Are any of the laptop deals worth the crowds or should I wait for the sales after Christmas?

11/11/2006 7:32:09 PM

any hard drives?

11/11/2006 7:46:48 PM

is CC doing mail-in rebates?

11/11/2006 10:40:04 PM

if they're smart they will - nothing like a little breakage to help out your bottom line when you're selling below cost

11/12/2006 12:21:19 AM

^x5
consumerreports rates the Toshiba very highly (toshiba in the top 3 spots) #3 is for that specific model, and the panasonic pretty low (like next to last).

I saw that there will be some mp3 players on sale. To those that have mp3 players, what do you recommend?

11/18/2006 5:12:44 PM
