    Hi guys,

    I realized we dont have an official Black Friday 2012 thread - so here it is!
    Let's gather up what we have found and share the best deals out there.
    I am not in the US, hence not much in the zone, so let me only share to obvious and easy ones to get us started.

    For many the clock is ticking but not all deals are yet in. For the usefulness of this thread it would probably be good to only pinpoint to single product deals/special promotion campaigns (e.g. flat 30% off all etc.) as to not overwhelm and replicate generic discounts. I would recommend something along the lines of :

    Dell Latitude E5430 from $925 to $594 @ Dell Latitude E5430 Intel Core i5-3210 2.5GHz, 2GB RAM, 320GB, 14.0-inch .


    Let's make it rain :D

    I'm going to be looking for HDDs, SSDs, Tablets, TVs sect. Hope there are some good deals I can get to. I'd camp out at best buy if I could.

    These deals are over but I bought 7 XBOX 360 games @ $9.99 each at the Microsoft Online Store during their Mega BF Sale. I missed out on a $9.99 copy of Skyrim and Diablo III. :(

    I also purchased a White Assassin's Creed III PS Vita Bundle with 2 free games and 3 free months of PS+ for $179.99 @ Amazon.com
