    It's after 7AM (EST) on Black Friday. So far I can't find any better deals than were available yesterday. :(

    I tried to find the 40% off via Live.com, but couldn't find it.

    Anyone have ideas?

    There were definitely better deals in the recent weeks, I was hoping for a NICE deal today, so far, no luck. Maybe monday will be the day.

    The hp G50 was a good deal in my opinion but those sold out QUICK.
    Same with the $380 Toshiba

    I last saw the 40% off at 1am before I went to sleep. Now its not there anymore. What gives HP???

    It was slated from 7am to 7pm PST. So I'm hoping at 7am PST it'll be back up, and I won't be thinking someone screwed up at HP again.

    I've never used Live Cashback before... So, with the 40% cashback, Microsoft will send me a check for over $1000 if I buy a laptop for more than $2500?

    Seems hard to believe.

    Or maybe the laptop will just cost $1500 instead of $2500.....

    Yes, sorry, the $2500 was just an example. But my question is about Microsoft sending me a big check (for $1000, let's say). Can I trust that they'll do that?
