Black Friday Deals you are Watching

[Dismal Science]

Post some good Black Friday Deals you are thinking of scooping up. I have nothing in mind at the moment but I might be tempted to buy something I don't need if there is a good deal.

[FormLetter]

maybe a job opening at Target

Go on...

Best Buy?

[Dismal Science]

I was considering a new laptop - but it is only worth getting if I want to play games on it since I can use my work laptop for web surfing (with the exception of certain sites).

[Jasper07734]

Go on...

Best Buy?

Possibly. Haven't exactly seen anything that screamed "buy me" yet. I want LED and 1080p, probably 32" but would consider 37" (I have a small pad). Most of the units that are in the stores are 720p though. And I don't know if I want to order one online since I don't want to deal with the hassles of returning it every time if the one I get isn't to my liking.

There really isn't a big difference between 720p and 1080p on a 32''.

On a 32" tv, you won't find much difference visually between 720p and 1080p, unless you sit really close to the TV while you watch

If I can find a good PS3 bundle, I'll jump on it, but I'm less than enthused by what I've seen out there so far.

[ldancer911]

New TV

I'm looking for a TV too. Trying to get something around 46in.

There is one that is listed at BB (51in 720p plasma for $500) but I'm thinking that is probably one of those that they have like 2 in stock and i'd have to camp out or something.

Generally I haven't seen a whole lot of really good deals on TVs so far.

[Loner]

Best Buy has a 42" 1080p for $199.

[tometom]

I'm going to try and pick up a cheap laptop if at all possible. We had a laptop and then my wife left it sitting out with a drink next to it and my son knocked the drink on top of it. We had the protection plan and they just gave us our money back as opposed to a new computer. This is the reason, I won't let her use my work laptop at home. It stays in the bag so my kid and wife won't hurt it.

I haven't started looking at the ads yet, so when someone sees the cheap ones can you make sure to post them here? Thanks.

That shows all the gadgets. I would really like to get a new 32" tv for the bedroom and possibly a new xbox. But where I'm going for Thanksgiving (cabin in mountains), I doubt there will be any place around worth going to.

If I feel inclined, and if I'm not asleep because of the turkey chemicals (is this a myth?) I'll probably show up @ best buy by around 10-11. IF it's there, it's there. BB is only 5 min from my house.

Most people on this board's time should be worth more than the savings. But of course, that's only if you would do something income-producing with the time. Oh yeah, I've been meaning to get a second job.

I want a 32 gig white iPod touch. Don't need it, have an iPhone and like 5 other iPods. Just want to blow money.

I'm tempted by the Xbox kinect bundle for 260 free ship no tax. I still have an original Xbox that's chugging along, so wife would not be pleased

They have Black Friday sales in Canada now too in case anyone was wondering. Of course most people will be at work on Friday, but they run them through the weekend. Very courteous of them.

for Chicagoland people, Binny's has 10% off all wine and spirits (just beer and cider excluded) for Friday and Saturday. I almost considered driving down there just to restock the bar.

I am anti Black Friday, just people buying more crap they don't need and piling on more debt. Go on sheeples. I will sit at home and read a book and laugh at all the idiots in a smug manner. Go shopping America, maybe that will solve our problems, ha ha ha. Like you need a third big screen TV in your underwater mortgaged to the gilt home....suckers, I say

It is like the king throwing out some crumbs and watching the peasants scamper for them. Camping out for days to buy cheap consumer goods, one of the most ridiculous things imaginable. I am embarrassed for our country, christ, what is this Soviet era Russia but with a consumerist mentality.

Chicagoland (as stated in my first sentence)? there is like 10 locations in the area, and the deal is good at all of them.

I just can't help but laugh at the moranic nature of all this. All to get cheap electronic goods. Boggles the mind. It is scary how easy people can be marketed to and totally change back to our animalistic nature. "Competitive shopper", I just got off the floor from laughter.

My dad got a TV yesterday from Sears - 52" for around $1100 (almost 50% off the "original" price). He even got to order it online - didn't have to go to the store at all

Hmmm waffles.

Maybe I'll go out for breakfast today.

[Jasper07734]

So, if I can't distinguish between models I see at the store, and there are other models online that aren't carried in store, which brand is the most reliable for good picture and good longevity? I might end up ordering my TV online.

We bought our regular TV back in 2002 or 2003. It's getting a bit wonky now.

Our projectors blew a few months ago. I'd rather get those replaced. Unfortunately, the company that had made the three refurbished units we bought evidently changed their business focus from making projectors to doing 3D "printing". (there was an interlude where they were building computers, so Stu tells me, but I missed that bit). Those lasted about 4 years, I'd guess.

So, I'd say, anywhere from 4 - 9 years.

[Guerilla poster]

Because the TV's keep getting bigger....I think they need it for the porn. 20 feet of women bits. Just stay away from old Johnny Wad videos

Look who has his grumpy pants on.

And now back to the thread purpose... I've got a shit-ton of really cheap books to buy, because all the diehard readers seem to be going digital. Yay for exploiting a dying market!

No, just like to be a smug jerk sometimes, though I do find the whole thing a fascinating study of our society.

Yes, "they" do.

But I'm not going to give any links, because THEY'RE ALL FOR ME!

Well, and whoever else goes to this particular website. Which isn't exactly a secret.

But I have no incentive to share. The worse the paper book market, the cheaper it gets.

I know somebody's kids are getting a bunch of Foxtrot, The Far Side, Dilbert, Calvin & Hobbes, Pearls Before Swine, and New Yorker cartoon books for Christmas.

Oh, and I forgot to mention Get Fuzzy.

ooh. ooh. over here. :wave:

[Irish Blues]

The oldest boy wanted a game system for Xmas ... which I wouldn't have cared about, except that he offered to pay most of the cost. So, we got the $199 PS3 Black Friday bundle with 2 games that I'm sure he couldn't care less about. [I tried to talk him into the XBox with Kinect at $199, but he decided he'd rather have the PS3. His money, he can have what he wants.] Then I found Madden '12 for $28 on Amazon, which will make him much happier on Christmas.

After that,
-- 2 screen portable DVD player [normal $179, sale price $99]; will be perfect for 7-hour trips to/from the in-laws.
-- Pair of Wii games for the girls [normal ~$40, sale price $24ish]
-- 3 movies for the kids [normal ~$60, sale price $25]
-- 19" TV for the girls [normal $199, sale price $139]. I wanted the LCD/DVD combo, but I couldn't find one I liked.
-- Kodak 12MP digital camera, waterproof [normal $99, sale price $59]; this one was a late purchase because the existing digital camera, bought in 2005, is starting to have problems.

So, that's all without ever having to leave the house and deal with the crowds, fight for parking spots, and all that other stuff. Also means that Christmas shopping is done for the year; the only way I buy anything else now is if something breaks down and we have to replace it.

They've already read through all the Dilbert, Far Side, Calvin & Hobbes, and Foxtrot books I already have (I didn't have any Get Fuzzy or Pearls Before Swine books).... and they've pretty much destroyed them. And my collection was far from complete - I stopped buying those books before the kids were born.

So I figure they can have their own books, and destroy their own property while reading.
