"Not only are CompUSA and TigerDirect doing discounted deals for Black Friday—they call it Pink Friday because they are supporting the fight against breast cancer—but they are also giving away free desktop computers in store. You'll also get some insane discounts online on limited-quantity goodies. Two crazy examples: A $5,999 Sony Vaio TT with a 256GB SSD, 11.1-inch screen, and Blu-Ray for only $999 (yes, nine hundred ninety-nine dollars) or a Xbox 360s for $99 during a 12 hour webcast. Read on for the complete list. Update: We got the address and time for the webcast, plus other details.

The webcast will be here. The webcast starts at noon and will last until midnight. They will be giving a lot of giveaways, including PS3s, Xbox 360s, Bluetooth headsets, or a 42" plasma TV with a computer built inside of it, among other things."

 

oh wow. I might have to leave the house on black friday for these deals then. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Now THAT'S a Black Friday deal I can get out of bed for!

 

You're welcome!
I would soooo get it, if I didn't go over my credit card credit line!

 

How on Earth can I get in on that deal?

In particular, read the wiki post.

 

Don't get excited. Read the fine prints: limited quantity, not everybody can get one. If it is TigerDirect, it is probably refurbished.

 

It's CompUSA and TigerDirect

 

TigerDirect acquired CompUSA after its bankruptcy.

Dang it, there's a very low chance of me getting this TT for that price and its making me really antsy, I keep hoping that maybe I will be able to get it.

So, I'll have to watch the live webcast for the whole time, and I'll see a number pop up for when the TT pops up and I call and hope I can get my order through, I'll probably waste all those hours watching the entire webcast and some other lucky folks will snatch all of them up.

 

Limited quantity = probably 10.

 

Right, chances are they even have less than that, like what Walmart did last year. Probably 3 to 5 is my best bet.

 

3-5? I think it is most likely going to be just 1.

 

I don't believe it. If it sounds too good to be true...

Just the SSD costs more.

 

If they have limited quantity of... let's say 5 units and 10000 people will call at the same time what chances do we have... Not worth spending the entire afternoon watching an webcast.

 

OMG!!!!!!!! I am so going to TRY lol !!!!!!!! this is UNBELIEVABLY awesome!!

 

Since everythin goes to charity Sony can write off the cost for tax deduction, like any american taxpayer do. Notice that the MSRP is $6000 instead of $4500, so for each unit Sony donates it actually gets $6000 deduction when calculating their taxes.

It's actually quite a win-win for Sony, given the current economy in US that makes it harder to actually sell a $4000+ laptop. So if they can't sell it for profit, why not get something back in tax break?

 

so did anyone get it?

 

this doesn't start till tomorrow 12pm

 

oh yeah bugger!

btw will the offer be on through the website? how does it usually work?
on pinkfirday it says the deals are not avaliable through the websites or store fronts, however in certain reading material under compusa itself, it states it is avaliable on the website.

 

It's a webcast, like those TV charity donation marathon show, and at pre-determined-but-we-don't-know time, the show will tell you what number to call to place order. And then first come first serve, blah, blah, blah...
