What deals are you going to jump on for BF?

[Moonbeam]

But do you want anything?

[CallMeJoe]

nada. I almost NEVER do Black Friday shopping.
I H-A-T-E crowds, and don't deal with them very well...or politely.
I embarrass my wife at the mall at x-mas time.
"MOVE! GTF outta the way." "If you assholes want to hold a fucking convention, rent a gawd-dammed hall!"
I have the "stiff-arm" down to an art...I can get through a crowd.

I'm large enough that I just need my scowl to clear a path through a crowd. If they're otherwise oblivious to my presence a curt word or two rumbling down over them does the trick without having to be overtly rude.

It's an art unto itself, no stiff-arm required.

hehe, haven't heard them in decades.

I blew my budget for black friday before black friday

I ordered myself a B&N Nook (refurb for $80) and a Canon PowerShot SX30 IS. Both will be put to good use (I hope).

Nothing really stood out in this year's BF ads for me. Nothing worth lines and crowds at the mall, anyway.

Got in on the Fry's 32" LG for $210 Shipped. My work is done, night!

 

[Sluggo]

3 seasons of Mad Men on BluRay at Amazon for $10 a season, for the money it should be great entertainment for the winter months.

Same, but $250 because CA tax and e-waste rape. Still going for that $300 Plasma and waiting to see if Amazon price matches.

 

[rh71]

officemax $99 chair online, done, peace.

 

[Cal166]

Ordered the DeWalt 18V Cordless Drill/Driver from Lowes for ~$95 In-store pickup.

 

[TridenT]

All these deals suck.

I'm not getting the 42" 1080P Plasma for $320. It's going to be too impractical for me when I move.

It just sold out. I had it in my cart was about to checkout, but at last checkout step it said sold out.

None. Good deals but not worth frustration. I tried black Friday one time when I was a noob here and missed every deal out there. Newegg, the stores, etc and said "that was a waste and frustrating". Rarely go to hot deals forums for same reason. My method of shopping is google shop item then sort by cost and buy with someone decent. Good enough for me.

This method also aids in not buying shit you don't need. Just because a laptop is $230 doesn't mean I need it and I may be tempted otherwise.

Bummer dude

I was going to get it for a while, but seriously.. a 42" TV is not going to do well with me trying to live a somewhat minimalist lifestyle.

 

[zinfamous]

OP said a 42". Unless it's a local mom-and-pop electronics store I've seen no such deal.

yep.. and he's been known to be wrong quite often.

i havent seen any 42" deal... the closest i could find is the 40"... so i thought he might have meant that.

"$298 Panasonic 42-inch 1080p plasma at Buy.com"

Seems hopeless, but I will give it a shot.

The 40" Westinghouse from Target sucks. I have it and will now return it, seems to be defective too.

looks like someone got it.

so, either we:

--have 2 members + another external forum member + review site confirming the existence of this deal,

or

--Goosemaster = TridenT = another forum "instigator"/trolly troll troll, and also happens to write shentastic articles for a well-known review site.

:hmm:

 

[Adrenaline]

I bought Assassin's Creed Brotherhood for the PS3 @ $39.99 on Amazon.

I missed out on the Spiderman Shattered Dimensions deal on Amazon. My wife is going to Wal Mart in the morning and I am having her look for NBA Jam for the PS3 if it is $34.99 or less, otherwise don't buy it.

 

[Goosemaster]

I was about to go to bed because I couldn't decide between a refurb Nook, a refurb Kindle 2, and a new Kindle 3 and then got in on that deal....

<---idiot savant


<---still has not decided between the refurb Nook, a refurb Kindle 2, and a new Kindle 3

The only thing I'm looking for this Christmas is a Green Egg smoker, want, don't need, one to offset the traeger. That is about it. If I can find a hot deal on one, I'll get it, if not, I won't worry. We finished our Christmas shopping last week.

I saw one of those at Sam's club once. That thing is a massive piece of ceramic, pricey too.



Looking through some of the Fry's/Office max/depot/target ads this morning, there's nothing really worth the trip for me. I guess I'll stick to Newegg or whatever Steam deals are up.

Ended up pouncing on the complete Deadwood series on Blu-ray; with member discount and the 30% Black Friday coupon, it came to $95.54, so pretty happy with that one.

I have a bunch of stuff in my cart at Amazon, but I'm not sure I'll pull the trigger. :hmm:

[MotionMan]

My wife, my bro-in-law, my sis-in-law and I are all going to upgrade our iPhone 3g's to 4's at AT&T <crosses fingers>.

My nephew gets my bro-in-law's old phone in the bargain.

MotionMan

In for four!

Psh... you non-pirate.

 

[MattCo]

I got a new gun safe this morning at 5am. I only went that early because I have to work today and the sale was over at 2:30pm.

 

[KeithTalent]

Wow, shipping from Amazon.com is insane. B&N is way, way cheaper. Crazy. No way I'm paying $60 for shipping on some movies.

a 120-160GB SSD for around $120 would be nice...

dreaming! haha, maybe in 6+ months.
