Black Friday is coming!!!

impur · November 20, 2008

So who is going to brave the crowds and what do you have your eye on?

I'm going to try and snag a 42" 1080p plasma for 500.

Last year i got a 17" widescreen HP laptop for $600.

mrgreenthumb · November 20, 2008

Yea i got a viao laptop for like 350 last year...... This year i'm not sure yet, waiting for the sunday oregonian to make my game plan. I've got my eye out for a hand held gps though.....I always stock up on dvd's too can't beat 3 bucks for good new dvd's!!! Last year i picked up a couple of wii's too for resale, kinda risky to do that this year with the state of our economy!! I wonder what other high end electronics will be on the doorbusters list.............anyways

I will be camping out in front of the cedar hills best buy on thursday afternoon if anyone cares to join me bear freezing cold!!!! I'll be the goofy looking guy in the rei tent hahaha. I love black friday/!!!!

Where is the Plasma at Miles? Is plasma the way to go or LCD?? I notice plasma's are cheaper. Later Ryan

impur · November 20, 2008

Personally i prefer plasma. Blacker blacks, brighter screens. Similar viewing lives. One plus for LCD is that you MIGHT be able to replace the bulb when it goes out. You can't on all of them. LCD is the newer technology, but both will be replaced by lazer technology in the next 5 years or so.

Keep an eye on http://www.bfads.net as well as http://slickdeals.net and http://fatwallet.com

Right now the best deal on a TV is probably the Sharp 42" 1080p Aquos LCD at Dell.com for $799. Here is a list of all the known deals so far. But remember still more to come!!!

Wow some of those deals are smokin. Does Costco still do the big warranty on the TV's? I bought a small one that came with the one year manu and then two more years through Costco. No questions asked. Just bring in and swap. Later Ryan

180Brandy · November 20, 2008

Also watch out for watch out for pre black Friday sales.

Beware the scam A couple years back I had wanted to get a hot ticket item and saw it one of the ads come to find out you had to read the really fine print to know that the sale started the day before and black Friday and they were all sold out.....(flame).

I wonder what the new OOO AWWW item will be this year??? Does anyone know?

Where ever you buy your new TV from make sure that the warranty is good if the company goes out of business.

mrgreenthumb · November 20, 2008

if your a gamer i would stay away from plasma simply because of burn-in.... here is an interesting comparison article on all tv's http://www.audioholics.com/education/display-formats-technology/display-technologies-guide-lcd-plasma-dlp-lcos-d-ila-crt

Here is info on the warranty. Nice thing about it is that its usually a swap type deal if they cant fix it (which they usually cant do- too expensive).

Burn in is no longer a problem on plasma. I have a 50" Panny and play video games all the time on it. Zero burn in. I love my Panny, but its only 1080i :(

Burn in was a problem a few years ago, but technology has fixed it.

Costco's warranty on TVs is now only 90 days. But if you buy with AMEX you get a year or 2 warranty thru them.

Good find! Even comes with 250 in costco cash cards making this one HOT deal!! I might go get this tonight.

I was wrong on the warranty

Costco extends the manufacturers warranty on Televisions and Computers to 2 years from the date of purchase. See the manufacturers warranty for specific coverage terms. For warranty service, contact Costco Concierge Services at 1-866-861-0450.

impur · November 21, 2008

Dang you have to sign up for directTV to get the 250 costco cash

I wonder if you could just sign up for directTV for a month then cancel to get the costco cash?

I don't think there are many OOOO AWWW deals this year, a result of the poor economy. To me it seems they have gone to discounting other products to get people in the door. Products that don't cost 500+ and typical people will go out and buy.

That doesn't mean there won't be a steal or 2 out there. Just have to do your research
