    Commonly, you will find the *better deals* on Black Friday. I would hope this year, because of the *economy* being as it is...the local stores are going to have some excellent *Deals* for us!

    I remember last year, there were some really good deals on headphones!

    As Cin said, Black Friday is more of the traditional deal day. However, you have to go out and fight (literally) for some deals on that day. Cyber Monday is pretty good too and you don't have to work that hard.

    Ahh yes :D, but don't forget....that a lot of the BF deals you can now get online!! I know that Walmart, Best Buy are doing them, and prolly many more stores will follow this year...So, wake up when the stores open..and tap *your little fingers on your keyboard, whilst laying and bed ~ and your *good to go*....while others are *trampling* each other at the stores! :p

    Being, a non morning person..that will work well for you! ;) :p :D hee hee.
    OH and on Cyber Monday too! :yes:

    I think I'll be picking up a 1TB drive for myself this year, and an external enclosure, hopefully newegg is taking part as well.

    Yes, Newegg is, they do every year...visit newegg and sign up for their e-mail subscriptions..that way you will get a *heads up* on the upcoming BF & CM deals! :)

    Yeah i cant wait until BF/CM i have my eyes on a couple of 1TB drives (internal and external) and a 73in TV, though the TV will probably be a decent bit smaller because i have no where to put that monstrosity (hoping on a goot 55-62in deal)

    I know there is a small chance since it's not that expensive and very specific, but I want AKG K81 DJ (new headphones)! Maybe a new Clarksfield or cheaper C2Q laptop too... :D

    I certainly hope that OfficeMax ad isn't real... I really don't need a third laptop, but at that price I won't be able to stop myself. Best I don't pay any attention to BF :p

    I think the only good deals from Sears are the picture frames. As for everything else, I have seen better deals last month. I was hoping for a cheap 50+inch LCD, too.

    1TB for $79.99.. Not bad at all. I guess I could use it to run automatic backups of my current external 1TB drive.. better safe than sorry.. Can't afford not to, at the low, low price of $79.99 ;)

    Clicking on this link, I get http://slickdeals.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=273267&d=1256176487 and it gives a 404 not found error. Someone must have yanked it, darnit. Were
    there any 17" or 18" non-Toshiba notebooks or all in one computers (which could be larger than 18")?

    Yeah, the ad was yanked everywhere (under force of Office Max) I found out.... :(

    This is all there is for now, in the way of Notebooks/desktops, etc:


    Desktops
    Compaq Presario Desktop CQ5210F w/ 2.7GHz Processor - $239.99

    Laptops
    Toshiba Laptop Computer w/ T4300 Intel Processor - $399.99

    Compaq 18.5" LCD Monitor - $99.99

    and a Netbook...

    Hopefully the *finalized* version will be more promising..for you!

    phew... just got an hp dm3 yesterday and was thinking... maybe i screwed up by not waiting for BF.
    some pretty good deals at BB for things i don't need... just gotta decide if it's worth waiting in line for hours :confused:

    that's where i'm weak... i've got no patience when it comes to ordering stuff online, i'd gladly pay sales tax and a few bucks more just to have it then and there :eek:

    NP! ;) :D...Yes, I know that 1645! :) Yes, I would hope for a nice one for yah...even before Xmas! :cool:

    I'm not sure! :) Would love to know, though!

    HA! We went one year to Walmart after the *mob mentality* had died down! We actually found some tossed aside BF doorbusters aside (like a Portable DVD Player), etc., and were able to purchase! That was nice finding stuff that was forgotten or, whatnot!

    But, yes I understand..when you want something, you want it now! ;)
