THE BLACK FRIDAY POST 2010: Update #19 GAME STOP BF Ad posted!

[DCAllAfrican]

If you keep up with the Black Market you see great deals very often. It is just that on BF all of the great deals are thrown at us at once. But I only buy things on sale and I feel if you keep your eyes open, you can do the same. BF is cool, but there is too much competition for one, and people do buy things they don't REALLY want/need.

I agree.  I was at a store and see people with like 20 dvds/blu rays in their cart thinking, the hell, you are going to watch that once and be done.  The only time I ever feel inclined to buy a movie is if it is some epic @%*@ that I am going to watch again.  Most movies these days have no replay value, just rent it and never watch it again.

That being said there are some good deals on other things.  I bought a 46" Sony LED 3D TV 240hz for $1200, that same TV was on sale and Best Buy for their BF for  1500.  I wasn't really even planning on buying a tv today(but in the next couple weeks)but went to the local store, Video Only, crowds were gone and they had that TV listed for 1350.  They said it was already sold out but they are getting more in on Tuesday and could get me a better deal, came back and they took another 150 off for the inconvenience of them not having it in stock.

Panasonic 42" Plasma 1080P for $298 shipped (from Buy.com)

Hurry.

EDIT: As soon as I checked out and copied the link... it appears they are gone.  There were 15 bought when I got mine... that was about 1 minute ago, no lie.  Now all 50 I think are gone.

EDIT 2: I've already got feedback for it from the seller (Buy)... wow again.  And it was 52 available, not 50.

Good pickup.

in terms of electronics and electronic related items, I find BF is only best for things like movies, games, software, console packages because they will be marked down and there is only one of its type (i.e. a PS3 is a PS3)..... buying things like TVs, hard drives, computers are typically not a good idea cuz for the significantly low price of whatever it is, you're buying the lowest rated version of whatever it is.... look at the reviews. there's a reason why that $50 1TB external drive is 2 out of 5 stars.

i'm surprised no one has posted pics of how the lines were.most of y'all stayed in i guess.

I miss the days people actually posted pictures of the stuff they got, long are those days gone, and forever they'll be a memory.

Went to BestBuy at 1:30 am in S.F. My girl got a 40in Samsung 1080p LCD for $500, and to my luck, one of the managers had an extra ticket for the 32 in samsung and Wii bundle, and i happened to ask him if he had it and pulled one out his back pocket like " its your lucky day"

- DC is so right on this one. 20 years ago BF was a little know shoppers secret where you actually could get great items for far less. the jig is up now, if the item is worth it you arent getting any moe of a deal than if you kept your eyes open ealier in the year.....everything else is just junk made to look like you're making out.

I waited since Tuesday outside the dealership and bought a Lambo, a 75 inch 4D TV, and a pet panda.

Any deals for rechargeable AAA battery packs? I'm hoping to find a charger plus battery pack.

I found 20 pack of AA or AAA batteries for $6 on Amazon though.

Those are the same ones you could've gotten on Amazon with no tax and free shipping.

Cool

Didn't mean to be a wet blanket

, just saying you could've saved yourself some time.

Although I did miss out on Batman begins because it was from 430-830am

Not sure where ur located but here at Walmart Houston they had multiple copys of dark night and Batman begins blu rays jus sitting on the self and I don't think they had limit on how many u can buy.

I was talking about Amazon.  Got both (Blu-Ray) for $9.98 w/ free shipping 'cause I'm a Prime Member

.  I wanted another set for a gift, but it was only 1 per.

If it makes you feel better I will post the stuff I got when it arrives,

 

[cameron nelson]

The main thing was the 40" Westinghouse LCD 1080p screen from Target for only $298....waited in line for 4 1/2 hours, but it was worth it....the line wrapped around the entire building; I was #8 in line. Also got a bunch of toys for my kids, including a Leapster & games for my daughter & a Nintendo DS Lite, 4 games and case for my son

*Fixed*

When it comes to TV's, I beg to differ...your average consumer switches things up quite often, and paying $1500+ for a TV just to keep it for a few years and ditch it when the next latest & greatest technology comes out just isn't smart. I bought the TV, and it's pretty damn good to me...

I completely agree with you, never done BF, never will.  The clothing stores at outlets is where you can kill, however I went the week before and the BF deals were already rolled out so I took advantage without the hassle.

I'm on slickdeals all year, got my tv during Independence Day weekend, blowout sale at Fry's.  None of the tv's out there matched what I got.

I wasn't planning to buy anything on BF, but the deals on Amazon were

, and I didn't even leave my house

With the exception of a couple of J.Crew items I haven't purchased anything over $10

Oh right on. Thought you just went out there just for the blu-rays.

GSDUB - How much was the entire thing if you don't mind me asking? And the specs on the TV?

 

[Bonafide]

Anyone know of any Gamestops in queens that still have the god of war ps3 bundle?

 

[blackredxiiigoat]

Only things I copped this weekend were Entourage 5 + 6 for 9.99 each. Would've liked to come up on that 42 inch joint for $298, but who wouldn't have?

Oh well....
