How do Black Friday deals online work? Is it like a BOC on Woot where you keep having to hit refresh in order to get what you want?
dude.. read it carefully. its technically not a black friday, you can buy that now! all you do is order. these deals are great. free shipping no sales tax (depends on where you live).
I know the Newegg deals are going on now but I remember online Black Friday deals last year and I have heard they are supposed to increase this year. How do those work?
call them. this seems like a new approach, they give that promo code to use on which product you want.
Does anyone know if there's ever Black Friday deals on furniture? I'd really like a new platform bed.
do y'all know if IPODs see any action in black friday? I'm tired of my old nano and I'm considering an 8gig touch. except for the fact that it's currently at $225, which means that I can get an iphone and disconnect it and use it as in ipod for cheaper than that..
I have a 50in 720p plasma. It has incredible PQ. It gets more vibrant with age. And 1080p isn't for everyone, hardly makes a difference for one. Most video games fall below 1080p, even ones advertised as 1080p. And broadcasts are 99.8% 720p/1080i, never 1080p. So when do you actually get to utilize that 1080p? During a Bluray, thats it.
you notice they have 32in 1080p lcds right? anyone who buys those are complete suckers. unless you stick your eyeballs directly on the screen, you won't see any difference.
Ya, I look at 720p/1080i sets as great ways to save a lot of money. Nobody notices. Best Buy has "Select PS3 games" at $19.99, anyone know which they are? And where is that sortable spreadsheet?! Various $699 42in LCDs from legit brands seem to be like the steal.
Apple may launch most aggressive Black Friday sale yet By Kasper Jade Published: 02:55 PM EST With Black Friday sale information from rival PC vendors beginning to leak online, experts at Barclays Capital say they expect Apple to counter the promotions with a more aggressive than usual one-day sale, offering deep discounts on a number of Mac models. The Friday immediately following the US Thanksgiving holiday has long been known as "Black Friday," as it represents the unofficial beginning of the holiday shopping season, or the day when retailers hold massive sales in hopes of steering their (red) losses into (black) profits. Among the most heavily discounted electronics items poised to dominate this year's sales are low cost notebooks, according to analyst Ben Reitzes, who notes that Dell plans to offer $299 linux model via its website, while Wal-Mart markets a $299 Compaq, and Best Buy a $299 eMachines portable. "We believe ultra-low cost notebooks will be a major draw this Black Friday as vendors look to push volumes and consumers look to trade down given the economic environment," he wrote in a report to clients Wednesday. "We have not seen any Apple Black Friday ads yet (as is customary), but expect the company to be more aggressive than usual in its one-day sale, perhaps with $100 off a few Mac models and discounts on several iPods." The analyst also called upon Apple to "get more price aggressive in every product" for its traditional one day sale, which will run for 24 hours beginning at midnight on Thursday November 27th. Given obvious weakness in the economy, this should include the iPhone, he said, arguing that "the company’s high margins could likely absorb a few days of discounts." Reitzes also pointed to signs that French iPhone carrier Orange will cut the 8GB iPhone 3G from 149 euros to 99 euros for the holidays and wonders "if AT&T could follow shortly here in the US." Apple's participation in the Black Friday bonanza has seen the company hold massive 24-hour sales through its online store and brick-and-mortar retail chain since 2004. The promotions initially began with $100 discounts on the company's iMac G5s but grew to include a $101 discount on the iBook G4 in 2005. A year later, the Cupertino-based company offered $101 off all MacBook and iMac models, $31 off its updated fifth-generation video iPods and $21 off its second-generation iPod nanos. Last year's sales offered the same $101 discount on MacBooks and iMacs but trimmed the discount on the third-generation iPod nanos to just $11. A move towards more aggressive pricing for this year's Black Friday sale would build on a trend that began earlier this summer when Apple announced the biggest back-to-school promotion in its history. Unlike past years when students were offered a free iPod nano worth $199 with the purchase of a qualifying Mac, this year's promotion bumped the incentive up to a $299 iPod touch -- a move helped the company set a new record for single quarter Mac shipments of 2.611 million units. http://www.appleinsider.com/article...ch_most_aggressive_black_friday_sale_yet.html
Screen size has much to do with the room size. So before anyone just says OK I can spend 1000 on a TV then buys a 60" or something I would take a hard look at what size do you really need. My parents have a 52" Bravia and it is almost to big. They are fine with it but to me it take some adjustment and Std. Def stuff just does not look as good. I went with a 37" in my bedroom even though 42" was just marginally more because 42" was just to large for the placement.
This is a good point. I've walked into living rooms with 55"+ tv's and had to ask what the heck they were thinking. My eyes were hurting because the seating was so close to the tv. I have a 4 year old 42" plasma and don't plan on getting anything bigger for my family room. The room is about 20x20, but the main seating is only about 10-13 feet away. I could probably go to a 46" safely, but don't see a need to. I also don't want the TV to dominate the room.
Y'all are crazy. No such thing as too big. Tinman will back me up. I am just kidding (well somewhat). I think there are charts out there that tell you recommended size in relation to distance.
