Best Buy Black Friday ad spotted: Transformers on Blu-ray for $10

Break out your credit cards, if you still have them! Black Friday is right around the corner so we’ll be seeing leaked ads all over the place for the next few days. Today’s is a big one, Best Buy. Though BlackFriday.info highlights an $899 50-inch Panasonic Viera. Nine-hundred for a 50-inch TV may seem like a good deal till you realize it’s only a 720p model. If you’re already resigned to spend a grand on a TV it might as well be a 1080p one, right? I did spy with my eye, however, that Best Buy has Transformers on Blu-ray for only $10. Now that’s a deal, especially if you consider that it won some Blu-ray award a few days ago for best sound. → Read More

Black Friday CrunchDeals: Sam's Club Wii for $224 and it comes with a bunch of extras UPDATED

Sam’s Club has a hella good Black Friday doorbuster item. For only $224, the discount warehouse is selling the Wii, two bonus Wiimotes, two bonus Nunchucks, Mario Super Sluggers, and King of Clubs Mini-Golf. Yeah, I know, good deal. You get all that for $25 less than a Wii alone. It might even be good enough to forgo post-turkey sleep and wait in line with soccer moms at 2:00am to ensure you get one of ‘em. Just make sure you’re a Sam’s Club member before Black Friday. UPDATE – People are reporting that this will actually be $425, which is about right for this kit. Take with a grain of salt. → Read More

Best Buy announces Black Friday VIP contest

Ho… lee… crap. Best Buy is running a contest for Black Friday. One winner in each of 25 select markets gets a $1,000 gift card, a ride to Best Buy in a limo, early access to the store (that’s at 4:30 AM, mind you), and a bunch of other stuff. Sheesh. So how do you win? You submit a 250-word story on AskABlueShirt.net about what you do “to make the day after Thanksgiving a particularly fun and special day.” The press release says that Best Buy is looking for people “to share how Black Friday shopping is an important holiday tradition for them and their family.” Nothing like a little rampant American consumerism to bring loved-ones closer together, eh? → Read More

HD DVD kicks some ass on Black Friday

The numbers are in from Black Friday and HD DVD players including the Xbox 360 HD DVD player and other stand alone players sold more than 750,000 units. The data pushed out by the NA HD DVD promotional group is comprised of retailer reports and other point of sale data. If you’re still on the fence then check out this edumacational site and see what HD DVD has to offer your home theater experience. I know I love my Xbox 360 HD DVD player, though, Blu-ray ain’t too shabby from what I’ve seen. → Read More

LG Shine arrives on Black Friday, PR issued on Cyber Monday

It’s nice that AT&T made the Shine from LG available for purchase on Black Friday, but shouldn’t they have pushed out the press release on Friday and not today? The shiny slider with its 2.2-inch LCD screen, 2-megapixel camera and stereo Bluetooth capabilities is now available for $149.99. Product Page [via Press Release] → Read More

Black Friday round-up: This way in

We’ve featured a few great Black Friday deals in the last couple of days, and here’s a brief round up so your mid-day shopping madness levels may rise. Circuit City: $7 2GB SD cards? Word. This is at least half as much as the nearest competitor’s advertised price. What’s great is the circular said nothing about limits, so buy a handful. They always come in handy. Wal*Mart: $150 8-Megapixel digicam with 6-inch digital photoframe? Check. If you’re going to shop at Wal*Mart, this is a great gift for your parents, who, like mine, are probably still using a dinosaur of a digicam, and this gets mom a digiframe, too. Also, the evil empire’s $20 voyager-class Optimus Prime. Very nice indeed. Buy.com: $230 Slingbox Pro + Cable bundle, including shipping? You bet. The Slingbox is a geek’s dream machine, and this price makes the dream a reality. Never let me type that again. Amazon.com: Lots of deals on fun, hot peripherals? You know it. Not the hottest, but that’s a sweet price for the MX Revolution mouse, to be sure. AT&T: $150 Blackjack II hitting the shelves? That’s amore. More than one person I know has called the Blackjack their favorite smartphone ever of all time since Jesus walked with dinosaurs. Hyperbole aside, it’s good, and the Blackjack II is a real upgrade. And at this price, you can get into the smartphone game ahead of anyone you know. Best Buy: $230 laptop and printer bundle? Yah, but probably sold out while you were digesting. This is an old-school deal. While it’s not a good laptop or a good printer, they should both work fine with the Wi-Fi you’re stealing from your neighbor’s double-wide. Apple.com: Generally decent discounts on pretty much everything except the iPhone? Sure, including up to $101 off MacBooks, an un-Apple like discount. Also iPod Nanos and Shuffles are discounted roughly 10% as well, and still include the free custom engraving. Shuffles are a perfect way to get someone into the iPod lifestyle. They’re the gateway DAP, leading to harder cocaine use later. Target: Olevia 37-inch LCD HDTV? Absolutely. I have one of these, and at $549, it’s the best deal on an HDTV we’ve seen yet. The picture quality is fantastic, but the audio is just so-so. I’d pair it with a decent 5.1 surround sound system, like the 5-disc Magnavox one it’s featuring for $79. That’s → Read More

EB Games, GameStop reveal slightly enticing deals

Well, shoppers won’t be knocking down the doors at GameStop come Friday over any bank-breaking mega-deals, but at least you can get bit of cash off almost anything. Some standouts include World of Warcraft for 10 bucks, some good DS deals, and of course the ever-popular UMD Movies for your PSP, which are $4, about as much as it would cost to rent ‘em. My advice? Buy a Super Nintendo. → Read More

Circuit City's Friday is the Blackest

There’s some pretty sweet stuff going on Friday at Circuit City. You can get a 42-inch Sharp Aquos LCD HDTV for $800, a Roadmate GPS System for your car for $125, or maybe you just would like a fully-loaded laptop for $300? Sure, it’s an HP Compaq, but at three bills you can hardly complain. There’s more deals than that, including some stocking stuffers for pocket change. [Update] Looks like they’re also giving away SD Cards for an insane price. This can’t be right, beef jerky costs more than this. $7 for a 2GB SD Card, that’s got to be the deal of the millennium.

Black Friday madness continues: Wal*Mart

If you’re the type of socially irresponsible douche who actually shops at Wal*Mart, then you’ll appreciate this list of Black Friday deals the behemoth has in store for you. Notables include an HP scanner/printer combo thing for $35, a decent-lookinf 7-Megapixel Kodak digicam for $90, and a really interesting deal: an 8-Megapixel Polaroid digital camera bundled with a six-inch digital picture frame for $150. A scanner/printer combo that costs less than some ink cartridges? The terrorists will never win. Wal*Mart’s Black Friday [Gottadeal] → Read More
