      Re: The too early Black Friday thread

      Black Friday fiasco turned out to have a happy ending for me as I was able to get everything I was hoping to pick up and more.

      After the "Flash Mobb" at WalMart at 10pm last night I headed to BB, Kohls and Target only to bomb out due to the crowds and again the "Flash Mobb" I called it a night around 1:30am and set my alarm for 4am with hope of the "FM" being gone.

      FFwd to 4am and I head out the door by 4:30am and went to Kohls first and got the wifes boots, on to BB to get a couple of blurays and Assassins Creed for $35, 2 of the xbox live 3mos cards for $7.99 From there I was off to Home Depot and picked up the 12ft HDMI cable for $5.99 and from there made 2nd trip to WalMart and snagged several more of the $5 blurays.

      Helluva BF for me after what started out as a NIGHTMARE!!!

        Canon - PIXMA MX882 Network-Ready Wireless All-In-One Printer, listed at $199.99

        Got it for $89.99
        Got this same exact printer today at Staples, for the same price. Looks like a great deal to me.

          From the item description:
          Note: You must have a source of HD programming in order to take full advantage of the Samsung 51" 1080p HDTV. Contact your local cable or satellite TV service provider for details on how to upgrade.
          I have a HD DVR so I should be able to watch in 1080p, shouldn't I?

            Description says that but I don't think it is 1080p

            Also says:
            Samsung 51" Class Plasma 720p 600Hz HDTV, PN51D430:

            •51" Samsung Plasma Plus One design
            With a 1360 x 768 resolution

            That's not 1080p (1360-768)

              I'm one of those people who can't tell the difference between The Show in 720p or 1080p, so I went ahead and pulled the trigger. If I'm not happy with it, I'll just throw it in the bedroom and keep my other TV in the living room.

                What he said. It's 720p. That is not good at all for a 51" TV.

                  In a smaller TV like a 42" or less you really can't. It's all personal preference though.

                    Strongly disagree, I've heard this mentioned time and time again yet I know many people, including myself, that see a slight difference but not enough to pay more for 1080p over 720p. Between Comcast broadcasting very little in 1080p anyways all thats left are a few video games and bluray movies and as far as Im concerned its more then good enough in 720p.

                      Last night, and part of this morning, pita.

                      We went to Target last night, line was around the building in the back. We were on a mission for 10% off Ipod touches. Blocked from making a beeline towards electronics, but my wife slipped through.

                      Looked for my wife and son down the line. They were way in the back. The closer we got to the front, the customers told us there was only 75 ipod touches. Yuck. We left, went to BB and the line was still outside at 12:30. Double Yuck, struck out, back home we go.

                      Went to Wallyworld at 11:00 a.m and just like a normal Saturday. Looked for Arkharm City, sold out. mmmmmm. Asked CS if they matched 10% off Target, no, they don't price match %'s or buy 1, get 1 free. Fine.

                      To BB we go. Not a bad crowd. 7 or 8 Arkham's for 30 bucks. Snatch. Asked about Ipod Touches. $194, will match coupon, 50.00 GC. Score. The only thing is we were discounted at full price vs $194.00. I won't argue over $5.00.

                      Thank you, BB, thumbs down on Target and Wallyworld.

                      A big thank you to Holic, perseverance is the key.
                      Glad it worked out for you man. We're up in NC visiting my wifes family. We did hit Wal-Mart last night about 10:15 and walked out with some of the blu-rays and games we wanted. Went home and slept til 7:30.

                      Made it to Best Buy at 10 and got the Ipod Touch and $50 GC. Then used it on two of the Toshiba Thrives (impulse buy) for myself and my wife/son. Really couldn't tell it was black Friday here. Good day was had buy all, including soup and salad from Olive Garden. lol

                          You just need to decide if the price difference is worth the difference in picture. If you aren't gaming on it or using it for movies and just cable TV then it's fine IMO.

                            Went to best buy about 4pm to get batman and assasins creed since they were 25 dollars off

                            Soon as I got to the games, 2 dudes are about to fight because they bumped into eachother.... the bigger dude telling the little dude lets take it out to the street.. im thinking oh man, its not even croweded in here.. to be honest the biggest crowd I saw was in the online pickup/customer service line, which I didnt have to go to

                            Got in a long cashiers line but it went by so fast I was out of there as fast as I went in... No need to be a vulture lol

                              I stopped at Walmart today. Picked up a HDMI Cord, a few Blu Rays and a GPS for my roommate. The lines weren't bad at all.
