[Phatman]

IT HAS BEGUN

http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/sales.php?store=all&category=all

and there was much rejoicing

[flat4]

are these sales going on now? that e machines comp looks pretty decent

[cwt137]

deals on black friday, you know, the day after thanksgiving

[McPimpenheimer]

90 bucks for an Apex 27" TV? I am intrigued.... I wonder where I could put another one of those. :D I got a 27" Apex flatscreen for christmas 2 years ago and I've been pretty happy with it, except for only having one s-video input and no composite inputs...

And hell, that eMachine laptop deal doesn't look bad at all either...

[Phatman]

I think it's a desktop not a laptop

[fore1337]

I wonder what kinds of ridiculous MIRs we'll have for mail in for those prices :mad:
I'm down for the emachines ...perfect gift as a first compy for someone.

[Blasterboy460]

*que* Shang Tsung*que* IT HAS BEGUN!

[SJetski71]

Keep your fingers on the refresh button this year ;)

[Shorty]

Didnt Hardocp get some nasty Corp letter action after tons of this stuff being posted last time?

[vbrtrmn]

I love how all the links just take you directly to BB's main page...
They're all just referal links too, bad deal :(

Don't expect to see any Black Friday threads on the H. Remember all the hell that the companys gave the site last year??

[SJetski71]

Don't expect to see any Black Friday threads on the H. Remember all the hell that the companys gave the site last year??only certain ones, hopefully those will be pre-announced leading up to BF.

[chronic9]

i wasnt on [H] forums last yr. wat happened with BF? I bought a APC backup UPS for 5 bucks. :D i sold it here on [H] for 15 :p

[Torgo]

The situation changes from year-to-year regarding any C&D orders regarding BF. I've seen it go all sorts of ways over the past five years.

[Maximus825]

I think a mod posted in a thread last month that all BF threads were okay this year, until we're told otherwise.

[McGee]

damn, 27" for 90 bucks. that's a pretty good deal. i should pick one up for tv out + both of my sister's dorms, maybe one for my room.

[MajorDomo]

You are correct. Kyle said we will go with the Black Friday specials until specifically asked to take down that particuliar store's ads, so each advertised store ad will be posted until each individual store requests that we stop :)

[ElementK]

That Emachines looks awesome....

[umbra]

I tried searching the BB site and they don't even have a 2800 desktop on there

[unreal]

yeah i may get that apex,, love blackfriday..

[DeepFreeze]

Black Friday is a staple in our fair point of the Interverse.

[purple_haze]

black friday is the day all hell breaks loose :P

[cybertron]

I'm so getting that TV if i have to run over people in that store. I am currently using my sisters 5yr old phillips tv and it blows, no inputs but coax, i cant even watch tv through my polk audio setup.

[mobiux]

I treat the morning of black friday like when you line up to get into a Metal concert.
Steel toe boots, jeans, black t-shirt.

You gotta take this stuff seriously or you're going to miss out.

[umbra]

new stuff on the site take a look

[bobwrong]

new stuff on the site take a look

ooohhh..... cheap variable speed reciprocating saw....not a bad price on a table saw either.... kinda scary though...I could just see some random generic saw blade flying apart and cutting my arm off..... :-) BUT it could be worth it.

I love black friday.

:D

[Torgo]

FYI: The Hardforums should stay in the clear if they only *link* to the deal web pages and not actually post the deals themselves. It's a fine line, but should keep the thread alive.

[9mmx19]

Hmmm sounds interesting...

[psychoace]

can't people just save up tons of money and buy a newspaper like the rest of us?

[bobwrong]

yeah but who has that kind of $$ just laying around....??? :D

Besides, we usually get the deals before the papers.... plus a 'bit of inside info....

[Maximus825]

Yes, you don't see any newspapers printing this stuff yet now do ya?

[cybertron]

I hope gottadeal.com doesnt have to take it down, if it does, i'll host it and ignore any legal letters i get. :) stupid bastards.

[Morphx2]

I hope better Best Buy stuff comes out...i want a deal on a video card

[laserdemon]

OMG,,,looks like all my pcs will be going 802.11g come that day

[McGee]

Anyone have more info on the tv? The link on the site is dead. I hope it's not a MIR / 1 per household thing. Same with the dvd player.

most of the stuff will be 1 per household as it is every year. But I guess we can keep our hopes up.

[laserdemon]

last year, i got several dvd players at BB.

[themanwithnoname]

i think i'm definitely might hop on the band wagon for the apex tv. My families main television is f'in 10 years old and kinda small and crappy overall.

[bobwrong]

last year, i got several dvd players at BB.

don't remember that one..... the best ones to get are the instant savings deals... that way there are no 1 per household rebates to deal with. too bad most savings are through rebates these days. oh well, still save $$ as long as you follow up with the rebate company.
:rolleyes:

Yeah, I think I may have to try to get one of those myself. though I'm pretty lucky and have a 27in (or bigger) in every room already it would make a rockin gift.....

that 'ought to move you to the front of the pack pretty quick..... mental note....stay away from this guy in line. :D

[nightanole]

Cant i just fall and sue as soon as i get in the door? I hear you get alot better deals that way. Wonder if it worked for the wallmart lady last year. Then again shes tryed it like 14 times sofar.

[psychoace]

Typically black friday is a day where most of the good deals lack a mail in rebate. Unless your talking about computers but everything else is usually good. I went at 6 am last year and boy was i late. I went in tried to grab what i needed (some lady in front of me got the last sd 256mb card) But i got a 256mb compact flash for my camera (i got the 256mb sd online at bestbuy.com for 40 bucks which was the black friday deal) a couple movies then waited 2 hours in line to check out. The line was at the back of the store at 6am it was pathetic and you should of seen the amount of people i seen with 6 dvd players in there cart or 3 surround sound speaker systems. But i went through the line and checked out and went straight to compusa (this was before i knew i could buy the card online and get it at bestbuy.com) cause they also had the sd card for about the same amount. I went saw they had nothing but keeped looking I was just about to ask the guy behind the counter if he had any when this big fat dude came up and asked about it the clerk said yeah he has 1 and pulls it out from nowhere. the fat guy then asks if he has another the dumb clerk says it's the last one though and we would like to save it for someone else of course the fat guy wanted it and got it i bet he is taking pix of lots of little kids right now so next time compusa employees when you sell a fat retard flash memory think what he might be doing with it.

haha
Compusa keeps a lot of their black friday deals behind the counter up front. They do this if it is a high $$/high theft item that would normally be locked up to save the managers from having to go unlock something every 2 seconds because of the deal. Best bet is to walk directly up to the counter and ask for small high $$/high theft items like mem cards, ram, video cards etc.

I want a x700 or x800 or GeForce 6600 or 6800 to be on sale

When the GeForce4 Ti4200 first came out, it was on sale for 100 bucks on black friday. It was great

I got there at 2am for Best Buy and was #1 in line and got everything I needed :-D
Its great when the rest of people come and laugh when you tell em what time you got there. Of course living up north in NJ doesnt help...damn cold outside! I am living in Florida now and planned on chilling at the store early and not being cold, but my parents want me home so off I go into the coldness!

Here is a GREAT black friday site that has message boards and stuff all for BF.

That site you linked to is listed in the first post of this thread. Thanks for the info though..good luck in the cold! I'm in CA so it's not so cold for me.

[zoobaby]

Looks like more items up. Nice tools for the home at Sears.

[twyztyr]

that 'ought to move you to the front of the pack pretty quick..... mental note....stay away from this guy in line. :D

Most people opt to stay away from me anyhow. It's one of the benefits of looking like a Norseman.

I'm starting to put some cash away to take advantage of these deals. I can't wait for the actual ads to start coming out in a week or two.

[LeArN2LiVe]

Ugh...I can't imagine what will happen to Fry's on the day of black friday.

[psychoace]

Not sure how many stores this is happening to but the compusa and best buy in naperville are getting redesigned so make sure to go before so you wont get confussed where your going. I have seen the hd's move the keyboards/mouse moved lots of shit so replot your stratagey

LOL.... Compusa can't decide if they want their high $$ upgrades locked up or out in public...on one hand they get them stolen all the time from customers and on the other they get them stolen from employees..... lol....

I do agree though.... ALWAYS pre-shop the deals in whatever store you will be visiting on black Friday...that way you always have the best run and grab heading.

[Morphx2]

Best Buy gives the first few maps of the store and where the items are located...#1 in line a few years ago getting there at 1:30am

[_cashel]

I spent a few minutes trying to look for that emachines online, and I *think* this may be what it is:

Here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=51134&item=5136656800&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)

Ebay is the only site that had it and would load the page. Definitely looks like something for a good first computer.

[ShepsCrook]

I'm eager this year. I think it's going to be pretty bad.

[rottweiler]

Best Buy gives the first few maps of the store and where the items are located...#1 in line a few years ago getting there at 1:30am
Also, for the limited items, they give you a piece of paper, basically reserving you one.
At least they have the past 2 years.

[jkbear11]

yah! black friday is awesome... i usually do all the christmas shopping on black friday.... :D ;)

I'm hoping for something PCI-E myself. just waiting to see.....

Edited to remove stupidity. ;)

[yumyum001]

I am hoping for dell monitor deal :D

[LotsatiArma]

Being #1 sounds like a good idea and im pretty patient.. Maybe ill go to frys around 2 am-.. the only thing im scared of is what if i fall asleep, people throw me into a trashcan, or some guys beat me up since im the only one there XD. Another thing.. being first where exactly do you start the line, some other guy could start another one or something LOL. My friends and I may bring camping tents, a mini cooker for like ramen and stuff.. its gonna be a fun day clubbing people out of the way :/

[jkbear11]

I am hoping for dell monitor deal :D

ditto :D

[Morphx2]

For Best Buy, just stand next to the wall where the doors are. My BB is at a corner, so the line starts at the door and then goes out to the corner then along side the wall.

Yeah, I got a little scared when a car or 2 drove by at like 2am. But then I flexed my big guns and they ran away...just kidding. Usually its safe. Have a cellphone with you and pretend you are talking to people, I never fell asleep cause I am up north where its freezing and its too cold to be asleep. Generally I just stood around kicking stones and listening to music until people showed up. Then chit-chat a lil bit and what-not. Share food or drinks, take a stone and write your name on the outside wall or on the ground so people can remember your name for being #1. Bring soda or anything cafeinnate to keep you awake and lots of junkfood. Bring a lil folding chair if you want so you can put it in your backpack when its running time.

Maybe you will get lucky and someone will pay you 20 bucks to get next to you :D

[bobwrong]

I know of several people that have done this in the past and I think I'm going to try it this year and see how my luck goes.

Price matching etc....

I'm hoping for something PCI-X myself. just waiting to see.....

Well considering there are no and never will be any PCI-X video cards, you will have to get a normal PCI video card and run it in a PCI-X slot.. that will work you know.

If you mean PCI-E well that is a totally different matter, and those will be a good thing.

lol didn't even notice I did that.

Yeah, I mean PCI-E.. I was reading specs for pci express and pci x on pcisig.com and must have typed pci-x instead of pci-e :D

Thanks for pointing it out.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for a great pci-e deal.

holy cow, i just saw a 200gb Western Digital hd for $49 at CompUSA. Have any of you guys ever used WD stuff? I was really wanting to get that HD, i need one for the new system.

For reliablity: WD is better than Maxtor, not as good as Seagate and all of them are better than hitachi/ibm.

For speed, WD and Maxtor are very close followed by Seagate and I don't know with IBM.

I like WD drives, I have 6 of them in current use at home, and hundreds of them at work and have no problems with them. (lots of older WD drives at work not in use that would work fine if I had a need for a 8GB or so drive)

on the other hand every Maxtor and IBM I have owned at home has eventually died, and I have RMAed many Maxtors at work. (only IBM's at work are laptop drives, and those are decent)

is this LCD any good for gaming?

[Ocean]

i wouldn't buy it for gaming, be aware it wont be able to display anymore that 40fps.

but $100 more would likely get you a dell that is perfect for gaming.

Jesus H, you'd think for all the money you've spent on lawyers you might have gleaned something. Do you just make this shit up? Might want to consult a lawyer about IP law and deep linking before you make such statements, not to mention DEFAMATION law (I didn't "steal" anything.)

Ugh...I can't imagine what will happen to Fry's on the day of black friday.

Last year at the frys in arlington there were some arabian dudes grabbing all the hot items and selling them outa a shopping cart to people in the store. =/

Not to mention the line that literally went through every isle in the store.

I went to the fry's store in arlington on bf two years ago. It wasnt very pleasant, took me about three hours to go through the line that was winding around the store like a mofo. Not to mention the people that cut in line like nothing was wrong while people waited for hours to get in. :rolleyes:

Or maybe you werent just classifying these guys as terrorists (the rpg comment makes it clear you were) just because they were arabs. Listen buddy, we dont want any of that here. Why dont you try being growing up a bit. Instead of calling names and slapping on one of those cute eye rolling green faces, try finding out why your racism is inappropriate and maybe, just maybe, learn that even if you think its ok, some things you say can really hurt other people.

Yes, and I have personally spent money on lawyers in the past for hotlinking images. It is not allowed, read the rules. If you have an issue with our rules, you can take that up with me peronsally via PM.

Is there a limit to how many you can get? I was gonna snag like two of the HD's

Oh yea, what time does Officemax open and what are the lines usually like?

[Jnk]

I've never been to a officemax/officedepot type of store on bf. You would think that those places get overlooked even if they have good deals. There's more to get at a BB or fry's where they have comp. stuff, tv's,games and such, but who knows.

[Scorpionjwp]

Is that 200gb with or w/o rebates, a few want answer to that question, before we just jump into that deal.

[Blasterboy460]

if its after rebates i dont want it but if its just 49.99 without rebates then i will buy them, great thing is if i goto the office max in new orleans noone goes their, mostly african ameraicn neighborhood. i went there last year and got there 30 mins after open and there was like 5 ppl in the store, so if they let me buy more than 1 im getting more

[Jasonx82]

[Az2]

With the 200 GB WD drive at OfficeMax and the 6800 at Compusa, I'm gonna have to send a friend to get one of them. Has anyone heard of any deals for a 6800 for $200 anywhere besides compusa? (only 1 in state)

I'm thinking this may be a great christmas gift for my brother. He's still in school and wouldn't need it for much. Hrm...

after religously checking the normal gottadeal.com blackfriday site, i found another site which has all the same stuff listed (i think) but it organizes it a bit better (for my liking at least) so here it is:

http://bf2004.net/

its quite a bit more full featured than the other site, and they have like full page scans of the ad already. they also post whats been updated, which is nice.

With some luck, I might make it to Officemax, since I will be at my GF's in the middle of freaking nowhereland, PA. nearest CompUSSR is ~50 miles away. The Officemax is still a good 30 miles to drive :/

woop BB is 'just' 27.xx miles away /rant

wish I could get some of them 49.99 WD drives!

Is this site a reliable source? I'm intertested in something there. Do all these prices become effective on black friday?

yeah its all pretty much the same stuff that you would see at any site on the net with BF deals. they usually have someone 'inside' that gets a copy of the ad for them. whatever proof you need, they have an actual scan of most of the ads on their site.

anyways, most of the sites have been pretty good in the past. you can find out how good they are in a couple days too.

and yes they are mostly black friday deals, though sometimes the deals carry over into the weekend a bit.
