Sincerely,
Your pals at Engadget

P.S. -Yeah, we already know about the $100 Compaq laptop and the $1000 42-inch Vizio plasma.

The panny is not on their printed ad, it was only announced online.

If you want to avoid the waiting in line, the pushy crowds, and still get electronics and gadgets at crazy prices, do it online!

Rob,

You're correct about Amazon and their 1,000 Xbox360 units for $100. They're gonna sell out darned fast. Here's a link to the current stats on the deal:

Think these tiny reductions are something?

Just wait for the recession. Q1 or Q2 2007.

The big box retailers will be *begging* you to buy something.

If I buy something today at Best Buy that I know they are going to have on sell on friday (no rebates) and I go in on friday during the sale and get them to match price. Will they do it? What about if the deal is at like Toys r us.

Thanks.

No better way to spend an early Friday morning than in a crowd of over-weight unbathed toothless trailer trash ebay power-sellers.

Count me out.
