    Hey!

    Honestly, I don't think that this years BF Ad's are that bad. It depends on what one person is looking for, and what they want. You can't determine what each store is going to release each year. Some of the bundled deals are pretty decent.

    Also, ToysRUs is opening at midnight on Black Friday and doorbuster prices are valid until 1pm.

    Here is ToyRUs' Black Friday Ad

    Here is Meijers BF Door Busters

    Meijer's Door Busters Start Friday from 5am til Noon.
    A notable good deal off bat is the Nintendo Wii for $50 GC towards Next Purchase.
    *Sylvania Blu-ray Disc Player - $89
    *A slew of $8 DVD Movies/$9 BluRays
    *$499 Sylvania 42" 1080 dpi LCD TV
    *50% off Vid' Games Priced $19.99/Less
    You can get the full BF Ad at meijer.com

    Here is RadioShacks BF Ad

    Most RadioShack stores will be open on 10AM on Thanksgiving and 5:30am on Black Friday.


    Some notables:
    *Logitech Keyboard and Wireless Mouse Combo $19.99
    *Pinnacle PCTV USB HDTV Tuner $39.99 (reg. $99.99)
    *Iomega® Prestige 320GB Portable Hard Drive $49.99 (reg. $89.99)
    *Kodak Easyshare M381 Digital Camera - 12MP, 5x Zoom $99.99 (reg *$169.00)

    That deal at Meijers with the 42inch TV isn't too bad. I haven't seen any amazing TV deals like previous years.

    didnt realize this thread was here.

    I can't believe I put all of that time to compile it all on my site.... :(

    in any case, if you guys want to know how to get all of the in-store Black Friday deals WITHOUT having to wait in line like everyone else... I have gone over that in detail.

    my method of "shopping smart" has never failed for over 4 years now. :D

    the Compaq and Dell netbooks have webcams in them ... I believe all netbooks should have that integrated... ever since the first ASUS EEE PC's

    Does anyone know how the sales on black friday works? Do they hike up the prices on that day? That 1 tb seagate external drive for $79 sounds like a great deal.

    what do you mean how it works?

    its just another sale that requires you to show up early to be able to get an item for a nice price.

    i have a question:
    im planning to buy the Acer Aspire One D250 netbook from Office max.
    but i want to buy it before the black friday, so i can get price adjustment on door buster day.

    problem is, the closest office max doesnt have any of them.
    they said they can order one for me so i can pick it up at their store.
    they also said on black friday, they dont do price adjustment just for that day.
    even if they DO price adjusting, i'm not sure if they would do that because they dont carry any of that netbook models.

    so what is my solution here?
    have them order one and force a price adjustment later on black friday?

    Here is HP's Black Black Friday Sales Info:

    I think, you may be able to. They have a fairly decent policy of ordering online. Will need to check, though.

    I actually think a lot of the "pre BF" deals we are seeing are a lot better! ;)

    But, there are a few things I am going to pick up on Friday, from the "comfort" of my chair, & laptop! :p :D

    Wish I'd known that it was actually Black Thursday at BestBuy.com. Just found out that the netbook I was gonna stay up late tonight to buy tomorrow morning is sold out. :(

    But alas, there will be more tomorrow.

    I believe those are available in store tomorrow as well. Maybe you might want to consider queuing up early in front of your local Best Buy later tonight or early tomorrow morning? :)
