    Thank you!

    PS I can't see what model this Sony FW is. I'm not sure which config should be. There's no FW with a 250gb HDD and Blu-Ray currently on bestbuy. I just hope that it has the FullHD screen as well. If anyone can figure out what model the FW is, pls hlp. :)

    The Samsung monitor looks pretty decent for $129. The 3 pack of iTunes might be pretty useful to some too.

    I agree. Most of the deals are on cheap laptops with bad specs. I guess they are ok if thats all you need.

    That, would be cool :D

    I think that it depends on the person...it may not be the best...but if it works for some ~ that's great! :D And the cheap laptops are what we are looking for with a Xmas gift for our parents! :D

    Last year when I went the best and only thing I wanted was the 1TB external drive.. I was one of the first 20 or 30 in the door and did not get one.

    When I interrogated about 5 employee's 2 of them told me it went fast and I just lost out. 3 of them told me "pssst, yeah we never had any of them sorry" So I do not thing I am going to deal with the nightmare that is BF shopping at BB this year or ever again due to that.

    If you can, go the day before Thanksgiving and try to find the stuff. Then hide it in a desk or some other place.

    LoL, well thats an idea, not sure how well it will work. Some stuff though they do not even stock until BF.

    Take one of those super tall ladders they use for the top shelf and put it above a ceiling tile or something :p

    Just saw this ad.....the HP Laptop (a DV4-something? dv4-1125nr??) for $499 doesn't look half bad. I debated for a while whether to make a go for it, but in the end, I'm prolly just going to get $$$ for Xmas anyways so I'm going to wait it out and hope an even better deal comes my way ;)

    Yah...the price doesn't seem too bad! ;) Oh, if your getting $$ for Xmas..I would also wait! :D Why spend the money now, when it will be given to you in a short period of time! :D There should be some good deals around Xmas time, I would imagine! ;) :cool:

    There are some good BF Deals at some sites this year, though! ;)

    Hi, I didn't find any info about timing in Bestbuy site. Is it available now, or we need to wait till Friday? Thanks in advance.

    Scored two Western Digital MyPassport Elite 320gb portable external hard drives for 99 bucks a piece at BB last night. I don't really need another external but, at this price, it was worth it since this is the Elite edition, and not the Essential edition. 5 Year Warranty, too.

    The drives are now back up to the regular 169 price. :(
