    That hhgregg one looks pretty awesome as far as the tvs....

    do you guys think 32 inches is too large for a bedroom? Or is 22 inches too small? The only 2 brands I'll consider aside from Samsung would be LG or Toshiba so here's to hoping that Amazon has some great deals for any of those 3...

    32 inch would be ideal for a bedroom. I wouldn't go lower than that.

    ^^ 32 is kinda small... just take the big one from the family/living room and put it in the bedroom. Then get an even bigger one for the family/living room. Gotta rotate all the TVs throughout the house and then the smallest/oldest out the door :) We can rotate other stuff too like wifi router to a relatives's house, etc too. Have fun shopping!! Bye.

    Out of all the notebook deals this Black Friday, which one seems to be the best? I was hoping to spend around $300. Is that Samsung that Best Buy is offering any good or is there something better out there that I have missed?

    Thanks,
    Tim

    11/24 - Happy Thanksgiving! :)

    Ok...a few stores went "live" online with their BF sales.

    Here gos:

    Best Buy: Link is from bfads.net. When you click on the link, all the deals are nicely put together in alphabetical order by brand. When you click on the deal of interest, it will take you directly to the product page to purchase :) thx bfads.net:

    ** Also, if you see the [​IMG] for Amazon, to the left of the Product links (BB & Target & OfficeMax), that means that it is priced the same at Amazon so you have the choice of purchasing at Amazon. : ) If you have Amazon Prime..take advantage of No taxes & free shipping. Of note, some stores items should include Free Shipping, but with taxes. :)
    **Be aware not all BF online/instore items might not be included in the online sale right now.

    Best Buy BF Deals Online LINK (total of 8 pages)
    Targets BF Deals Online LINK (total of 4 pages)
    Office Max BF Deals Online LINK (2 pages)
    Walmart's Sale is just a link to their SITE
    Radio Shacks Site is LIVE
    Sears site is LIVE
    HP's site is LIVE
    Dell Small Bus is LIVE


    Here is Dell Homes Site Ad Scan, (2) pages will go live tonight at midnight (11/25/11). Site LINK




    **Interested in a decent 40" TV for approx. $200? Tonight at 7:00 PM PST/10PM EST, at Amazon:
    TCL L40FHDF11TA 40-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LCD HDTV with 2-Year Warranty, Black

    **Not sure how it compares to that Sharp 42" at BB for $200 but if you can get it for less than $200 at Amazon it beats standing in line and taking a chance for it :) !!

    Any tips on how Dell usually has the discounts, they are directly discounted on the site or do you have to search for coupons and add them at checkout ( for Alienware in particular) ?

    Also where do you think i can find a good deal for a Seagate Momentus XT 500GB in the next days ? Newegg, TigerDirect, Amazon ?

    Do you know a good site where i can check prices and compare from different stores ?

    Saw it around on blogs on the net, and on bfads.net. No longer have to worry, as Amazon pulled the Lightning Deal for it. Apparently they sold out because greedy morons were buying the TV's early (to secure their purchase, etc).. and hoping that when the deal went live, Amazon would price match.

    Yeah my brother was going to get it for my parents..oh well. I think he is looking at one at WM..Maybe that one. Or, there was one at Target. Not sure.
    Good luck on that one at WM : )'

    EDIT: WOAH...wait... It's back on the Lightning Deals!!!

    Look at the Electronics 7:00 PM slot! :)

    http://www.amazon.com/Black-Friday-...pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1331646882&pf_rd_i=507846

    Maybe Amazon pulled it to check for replenished stockage? Who knows, but calling my brother now.. :) I am hoping it stays on there..*fingers crossed*.

    Just look at that 24" ultrasharp, only 300$ :eek:

    Though no Alienware on Dell's page :/

    I'll stop browsing as it's pointless but there are tons of good deals out there.

    It was gone. I mean I clicked it the second the sale started and went to "waitlist" status and then disappeared to being completely unavailable. If you were able to get it, you were one of the lucky ones. My brother wasn't even able to secure one. Oh well. On to the next deal!

    Amazon.com: Samsung UN40D6000 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV, Black: Electronics

    What I ended up getting at Best Buy for around $500 thanks to some connections and $50 giftcard from a friend. Also picked up the Bluray player they had on sale. Will make a nice setup for my mom's bedroom.

    In the end the price differences between the 32 inch tvs and the 40 inch ones weren't that great for the specs I was looking for. So I decided to just do it right the first time.

    The Staples Cybermonday online prices look as good as or better than their Black Friday sale.

    I'm looking for a reliable bluetooth headset (jawbone? your thoughts?) and a reliable wired headset for gaming. Nothing fancy or USB like that Logitech 7.1 G35 I think it is? Something that works, and covers the whole ear, but is cheap and a reliable brand. So, two headsets basically.
