Black Friday 2008...

Tyche · 11-14-2008, 11:08 AM

Last year's thread of awesome and savings.

Gogo Black Friday...

Last year was TVs for us, this year I want a surround sound system. Nothing too fancy, nothing in the $750+ range like Onkyo.

Will Update the OP as more infomation or posts come to light. If you see any good deals, post them and I'll update.

Tyche's five Black Friday tips from a perrenial camper:
1. If you camp in a cold area, bring lots of blankets and possibly a tent.
2. If it's going to be under 35 degrees, invest in a portable propane heater
3. Make friends in line, it'll be fun and they won't be pissed when you run around back and take a piss.
4. Be assertive, don't allow for cuts.
5. Bring a cooler with food if you'll be there for over 5 hours.

Black Friday Ads - The Official Black Friday 2008 Website will have the latest updates, but to save BG the time, post shit relevant to our community here, or something so amazing it cannot be passed up. Thumbing through the terrible (possibly fake) best buy ad now.

Best Buy ad 2008 (early leak, possibly fake):
Sucks.

Quixon · 11-14-2008, 11:24 AM

I camped at Circuit City last year for the 52" Samsung HDTV b/c you guys gave me a heads up.

Unfortunately I got surround sound as a gift last year -_-

I don't know if I'll be camping this year, but Good luck to those that do.

Mizango · 11-14-2008, 11:25 AM

Im sooo ready.

Saphirea · 11-14-2008, 11:28 AM

I really need to get a TV I'm hoping for a 40ish inch ... any ideas where to start looking the best buy one looks pretty lame.

Tyche · 11-14-2008, 11:30 AM

Circuit City is on the verge on bankruptcy, possibility for absurd deals, then again, could be a reason not to do anything amazing.

What you say?

Seriously?

Elesirdur · 11-14-2008, 11:46 AM

Wow, that's pretty crazy. Even the full regular games, not just all the chintzy casual games?

Khajit · 11-14-2008, 11:46 AM

I thought this was some sort of obama joke....

Anamanagucci · 11-14-2008, 11:49 AM

^Derailing with politics should be a bannable offense.

I think it's pretty pathetic how CoD4 is still $50 bucks with absolutely no BF deals, same applies to any new game that came out with an exception to Dead Space most likely being the only good one.

Mizango · 11-14-2008, 11:53 AM

Link to steam for $99.00 please.

Saphirea · 11-14-2008, 12:08 PM

I didn't think that the deals were that great unless you were going for big purchase items. At least thats how it seemed while I used to work at BBY

kuronosan · 11-14-2008, 12:12 PM

Our Sears ad isn't too bad... the best deals are going to be Blu-Ray and surround systems... TVs are mildly good.

It's a shame no one has any good PS3 deals.

What happened to the 40GB for $299? Don't tell me it was another discontinue thing...

zoobernut · 11-14-2008, 12:16 PM

My favorite black friday items are cheap games, movies, and computer parts. I always get a couple hard drives and memory sticks.

Okay, that's WAY different than "all" the games on Steam. True, that is all the VALVE GAMES on Steam, but not all of them. Now I'm disappointed

ty sorry was working. pretty nifty..

edit: Left 4 Dead is in that Package as well. To me, that's awesome..

Callisto · 11-14-2008, 12:28 PM

Wait this isn't about an Ice Cube movie, fuck this

Furionstormrage · 11-14-2008, 12:52 PM

I used to work at CompUSA, now I don't go out of my house on Black Friday.

The memorys of overweight consumers falling all over each other to get a 99-cent pack of CDRs and a $100 piece of shit desktop is just too much.

Maxxthepenguin · 11-14-2008, 01:12 PM

Yeah, L4D, moddable portal, and classic games I haven't played might get me to spring for it.

I'm glad they updated the package

LiquidFriend · 11-14-2008, 02:19 PM

Not sure if the Best Buy ad is legit or not, but I've heard from a friend that works management for them not long ago that the deals lined up for BF this year are likely going to be sub par at best.

If it's the actual ad, Best Buy will likely tell them to remove it soon.

SwampdonkeyPLD · 11-14-2008, 02:42 PM

I kinda hope there's Blu-Ray deals this year. There's a few movies I'd like to get but not for $30.

Meteora · 11-14-2008, 03:54 PM

Whoa, it's been a year already since I bought my tv lol. Oh damn, I guess I missed VC special @ CC, damn schoo/work.
