Black Friday 2008...

[Tyche]

Last year's thread of awesome and savings.

http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/gener...ck-friday.html

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.

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]

Im sooo ready.

[Saphirea]

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]

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

Also the PS3 deal at Best Buy so you can get Ratchet and Casino Royale for free sounds ok. I am pretty damn disappointed with this year's "deals".

[Maxxthepenguin]

all the games on steam for $99 awesome deal.

What you say?

Seriously?

[Elesirdur]

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

[Khajit]

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

[Hitoshura]

^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]

Link to steam for $99.00 please.

[Saphirea]

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

[Cjskater]

This?

[kuronosan]

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]

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

[Elesirdur]

This?
Package: Valve Complete Pack

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

[eunhye]

This?
Package: Valve Complete Pack

ty sorry was working. pretty nifty..

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

[Callisto]

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

[Furionstormrage]

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.
