    Best Buy Black Friday Doorbusters

    Best Buy has listed its early morning Black Friday Doorbusters. I’d say the most intriguing deal is the notebook-printer combo seen here. It’ll be available for $229 with a minimum of 20 per store. You’ll need to line up really early, though. Doors open at 5am and you’ll need to get there early enough to get a ticket (so as to avoid a stampede) just to buy certain Doorbuster products. Other than that, the remaining items are so-so deals.

    Ye olde confirmation: Apple will have a Black Friday sale

    Just like last year (and years before), Apple will have some sort of Black Friday sale, which will last 24 hours. There’s no telling what sort of discounts Apple will throw our way, nor on what items, but Apple has been sending out this nifty little graphic. Speaking of shopping, anyone remember the show “Shop Till You Drop” (the original version)? That and “Supermarket Sweep” were two of my favorites as a boy. Little known fact: John auditioned to be the host of “Supermarket Sweep”! Good job, boss! Apple’s Black Friday Promo: Ready. Set. Shop. [Apple] → Read More

    BGR: BB P2 on Thxgvng?

    We loooooove Black Friday. It’s our favorite day of the year. It’s that day after Thanksgiving in the USA when the holiday shopping stuff really ramps up. It’s the day of the amazing door-buster specials and long lines and mall corndogs and tired, cranky sales clerks and cheap HDTVs and Jagermeister. It’s also the day, from what BGR hears, that Crackberry addicts can first get their worn-out fingers on Sprint’s Blackberry Pearl 2. → Read More

    The Lowdown On Black Friday At Best Buy

    We have some good news to report! If you were scared that Best Buy would have another shortage of electronics come Black Friday, fear not: A tipster has taken a picture of inside a Best Buy storage room and it looks like it’s stocking up on the Westinghouse stuff that’s being sold this Friday at ridiculously low prices. To quote an e-mail sent to the guys at Gizmodo: “…they were stocking up for the BF sale already. Counted about 52 of the Westinghouse 32″ LCD HDTVs ($479.99, W3213) and 30 of the 42″ HDTVs ($999.99, W4207). Also recognized the Advent 15″ LCD TV ($129.99), estimated about 30 of them, along with a bunch of other stuff. Funny thing is, they were all labeled “Product not for sale. Hold for customer [Redacted].” You hear that? Not everyone can afford/is going to be buying a 42” LCD HDTV this year, but some are. These numbers sound perfect: Just high enough that you don’t need to camp overnight. But we suggest lining up outside an hour or three before your local Best Buy opens. We might even try to score one if the temperature isn’t similar to Antartica’s. Black Friday Watch: Best Buy Edition [Gizmodo] → Read More

    Black Friday Ads Leaked

    With the holiday season approaching, we turn our unblinking eye to Black Friday. There’s nothing more enjoyable on getting a deal on a 50-inch Plasma screen TV that you’re getting for “your kids.” Well, BlackFriday.info has posted up leaked ads from a few big box retailers so you know what you’ll be getting into the day after Thanksgiving. One of the bigger chains to mention is Best Buy. For everyone looking for a deal, Best Buy will be offering electronics such as a Toshiba 50-inch Plasma TV for $1699.99 or an E-Machines PC with 15-inch LCD for $189. Though you won’t be getting any deals on big items like the Nintendo DS-Lite, Nintendo Wii or PlayStation 3, it’s good to know you can pick up other electronics without paying a bundle.
