Black Friday?

The last few years Bf gas been crap. Some retailer have actually started posting their best deals the week BEFORE BF, because they know shoppers are checking website and prices, so they try to cut out the competition by putting their deals out early.

I don't think I will be looking for anything this year.

3 years ago I got a Compaq laptop for $100, then last year I got a 42" Panasonic plasma 1080p for $1199, doing some creative price matching techniques. I bought it for $1199 at Fry's, then took my receipt to best buy, where I talked them into price match, and scored $100 off a warranty or something like that.

Oh, and be sure to goto monoprice.com for mounts/cables.
 
Checked out Circuit City - stuff listed as sale is not available/out of stock for every store within 100 miles, nor online.
 
...and last time I checked, some of their prices weren't great to begin with. Most of their LCD HDTVs were about 10%15% higher than the other places I was looking at.
 
I've got a beef with Circuit City... several times now I've seen incredible deals posted, but not available... with a "notify me" option... then they notify you and the price is $200+ higher.

In my experience CC is not usually the cheapest place for anything. I always do a little check-through on the net, and include them in my search... but I rarely buy from them. Another frustrating thing that has happened there a couple times... is having to get them to match their own on-line price.

I've had even worse experiences at Best Buy however... but I put them both in the same category... if they have what you want... at a great price... and you can think of it like a trip to the Mexican flea market... then it can still be a positive experience.

The Sams Club deal amazes me. It's hard enough to find a Wii and they are throwing in a significantly more. I bet they will only have a few of them per store. 99% of people who come looking for them won't get one, but Sams Club wins because they have you in the store.

Maybe one of the reasons why they went belly up.

the wii deal posted earlier was a hoax. apparently the person that did the adscan photoshopped the price. the real one is $425.
 
Maybe not. But at that price, why not? Plus it has a better contrast ratio than the other one I just bought.

Is HD below 52" really such a difference from SD?
over here in PAL land I don't think you really start to see (literally) the benifits of HD unless its over 40" plus IMHO.

hd looks so much better than 480i. the difference for PAL may not be as great, but for NTSC it is huge.
 
Jim, that's an incredible deal! The set is listed at $599 and you're saying it will be $450?

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you want to look at it) I'm already in the market for 50" in (hopefully) 1080p... but that 32" would be a fantastic bedroom TV for somebody!
