Black Friday?

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!

It's a little confusing to me. The sku# is the same (290311) as the one in the little catalog I get. Although the catalog shows the online price at $549, not $599.

But either way, the catalog still shows it at $449. Whether that's a $100 markdown from the online, or a $150 markdown doesn't matter I guess.
 
well it's official, i'm old. i used to go out for video games and electronics. do you know what i was standing in line for at 4am today? towels. that's right, TOWELS. it's all down hill from here.
 
Yesterday we gave thanks for all our blessings, big and small.

Today, we'll leave a boot-print on the face of a dying man to get our hands on a crappy HDTV for $150 off.

Depressing.

Crazy.

That is really unfortunate and really sad that something like this can happen in our supposedly civilized society. The really freighting thing is that this kind of thing happens every year. Maybe not a death but people are injured every year on Black Friday.

In the words of the late Chuck Heston (from Planet of the Apes):

IT'S A MADHOUSE:kali:

YOU MANIACS:violent5:

More lunacy.

The local CC is going out of biz here in Santa Barbara. They've got some amazing deals. I almost bought a GPS system for my car, normally $400 but slashed to $391. I haven't seen deals this good since CompUSA went out of business.
 
My wife and I went out on our first BF event. It was ... crazy! I will NEVER go to Walmart again on BF. It was the most crowded, chaotic, scary place I've ever been. At a different Walmart a few miles away, a man and woman got into a fist fight over a TV. Maybe it's just the way I was raised, but i can't imagine punching a woman in the face for a TV that I still had to pay for. Free, on the other hand...

I think the craziest thing about today was the fact that we didn't really have anything in mind that we wanted. We left Wal-mart after about a half hour empty handed. I told my wife we were the worst BF shoppers in the history of the world. "We came to Walmart at 5AM on Black Friday just to browse."
 
Got a darn good blu-ray player at Walmart to day for 128.00 :). I had to avoid being trampled by a stampede but it was worth it. I got there at 3:40 A.M. Got a few blus as well at Walmart and Circuit City some very good buys.

Dude, I got a ton of ink at Compusa at less than half off when they went belly up Plus, they were selling FCS2 for $400. Hard to complain about that.

But yeah, went I went to CC last week, the deals were tepid at best.

Same here. Went last week. The deals were not any better than the prices at Best Buy or Amazon. I might pop later this week if they're still there. If they are then they will probably have better deals.

Speaking of Amazon, if you're into video games they have some pretty good sales going on this weekend. Mostly on older games but some are pretty cheap.
