I'd like an HD-DVD player, but I'm not sure who will win the HD-DVD vs. BluRay fight and don't want to commit $300+ bucks to a potential loser.

Sharper Image let slip a $100 off TomTom GPS. Which includes the new TomTom ONE 3rd Edition, which is regularly $250 but only $150 with this deal. Amazon.com and SharperImage.com had this price up on Wednesday, but yanked it yesterday. But I had fortunately called Wednesday while they accidentally had this up, and my local Sharper Image honored the price when I went to pick it up yesterday.
So a big thumbs up to Sharper Image for honoring the price early, and another big thumbs up for a HUGE deal on a VERY solid GPS, and a third big thumbs up for all this going down right before I have two long driving trips, including one where I'm going to be driving all over a city I've never been to.

My wife has been humoring me some on it, but when it said "turn left in 500 yards, then remain in the right lane" to prep for the following turn when we tested it on the way to work this morning, even she said "Okay, THAT's cool." We both hate guessing wether it's a left or right exit on the interstate when driving through a city.

I thought I've seen that Walmart is going to have a $279 deal on the 360. Also, I think I saw Best Buy had a $349 with Guitair Hero 2 pack.

FYI on the Amazon "Customers Vote" the HD-DVD player has 46% of the vote and the Blue Ray only has 24% http://promotions.amazon.com/gp/holi...P6B2Y68BX5T28S I was pretty surprised after everything I always read saying Blue Ray is winning. |

We're running the HDA-3 w/ 2 free HDDVD's(300 and Bourne Something) for 189.99 at sears.
999.99 basic 46" 720 Sharp 899.99 LG 37" LCD and 42" Plasma. Lots of generic TV's in the 8-900 range. 42" 1080p plasma from panasonic for as low as 1049.99(on sears card w/ 150 off instant thru 11/17) is probably the best deal out there, if you don't need financing. |

 I won't, however, miss working on it.

The various fanboy sites have been organizing support for the votes. I'm not surprised in the least. Also, the HD-DVD is cheaper in the offer. Most people will take cheap anytime. The sales numbers for the movie units (which is where the profits are made) continue to trend at a 2:1 ratio in favor of Blu-ray. |

No the HD-DVD is not cheaper. They are both $149. The HD-DVD is a more expensive item, but that doesn't not always make it the better option, people will choose the item they want more. |

That's a cool site - I just picked up a Desktop that I've needed forever from a coupon there: Dell Dimension 511 24" widescreen LCD monitor included AMD 64 X2 Dual-Core 5000+ 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8300GS 250 Gig Hard Drive 2 GB Memory (I upgraded here a little above the deal price) Total, $825 including taxes, free shipping, plus a $100 Dell gift card. I'm fired up - I've never had a big monitor before, and have been playing CIV 4 on a laptop for months. I'm downright giddy - this will be an upgrade for me from 512 MB Memory, 40 GB Hard Drive, 14-inch laptop screen. |

So on big-ticket items (specifically HDTVs) is Black Friday weekend the absolute best time to pick one up or will there also be some good deals after Christmas? Or is "Cyber Monday" the way to go in most cases?

I've got a follow up to Big Fo. I'm a black friday rookie. The big screen LCD I've been eyeing is on sale at Circuit City. When should I get there and what should I expect?

Two ideas for Black Friday:
1) If you can, get there a little before midnight the night before. Why? Because someone else will be there at midnight, if not sooner. That said, then there's all sorts of logistical issues, particularly with bathrooms unless you have more than 1 person. 2) Like in conversations about CAG and video game sales, your best bet is to go to the store that isn't as popular. Don't go to the shiny new store near the new mega mall, go to the old one on the not quite as nice side of town (tho this conflicts with the "get there at midnight" idea). Everyone wants to go to the new one and they forget about the less popular one. SI

Has anyone seen any good deals on digital cameras? Mine broke while I was in Spain (dropped on the streets of Cordoba) and my fiance and I are looking to get a new one as a dual Xmas present (we're getting married, we can do things like that now!).
She wanted to go out tomorrow but I figured we might be better waiting.

Is it really that bad? I've never done black friday before, but I've kind of thought it would be a cool experience -- even though I'm still not sure what I want to get.

It absolutely depends. Last year, I had the easiest time on Black Friday. I went up to the North Georgia Outlets at about 7 AM. Every store was open at midnight (and were apparently CRAZY at the time). By 7, there was NO ONE there. All the midnight shoppers were done and the rest of the people weren't going to show up until late morning/early afternoon. It was actually the least crowded outlet shopping I've ever done... at least until like 10 AM. I'm absolutely going to do the same thing this year.

Considering that Sams Club only has 1080p Sharp 42"s listed on their website, that may be the best deal out there IMO |

That particular pictured model is a 720p one. That one is the d43 model, chances are they shipped it in specifically for the sale, it may not be something they normally carry. Last edited by stevew : 11-18-2007 at 02:57 PM. |

Screw Sam's Club. We went by last year at 9:15 and they closed their breakfast. I can understand not giving it out to non-members, but I've been a member since 2001!
