Black Friday deal roundup

Feel that? That's post-Thanksgiving sloth kicking in. The deep, infectious kind which follows the tryptophantastic gluttony of a lustful appetite soothed. Don't fight it son, forget your pride and let a few more deadly sins creep in. We're talking greed, the kind only a Black Friday sale can sate. Look, just take it easy and hang out here at Engadget all day, and maybe you can be the envy of your gadget-lovin' peers without necessarily suffering the wrath of your family accountant.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 2:58AM]

such a shame since i'm not wiling to camp out in line to spend my own hard-earned money....

maybe once i wake up.. have a few pancakes, and swing by the stores at ten.

fighting all the soccer moms who read engadget.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 2:59AM]

Target has a Olevia 37" for $549. Circuit City has a 32" lcd for $399. They also have a $799 Samsung 50" DLP

[igeekone Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:01AM]

ooo the Apple Store is down! Kinda sad that they have to take the whole store down just to make minor updates for Friday's sale.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 6:32AM]

circut city was down too. haven't checked it for a few minutes though might be back by now.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:01AM]

12:04 PST and apples web store is down. So much for hanging out for the super cool deals....

[kaelb Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:02AM]

Actually, the apple store is currently updating.
"We'll be back soon."

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:04AM]

Regardless, not open. so much for 12:01 PST.

[kaelb Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:07AM]

didn't see your comment before i added mine. actually i was talking about how engadget said there were no deals. btw, they always have free shipping.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:05AM]

Apple will be selling their products for what they should be selling for in the first place. Greedy mothers! :-)

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:07AM]

"Samsung 40-inch 1080p LCD TV - $1200"
Cann't find the 40' 1080p TV. Only find the 720p one

[Acqua206 Posted Nov 23rd 2007 2:40PM]

I got my 40" 1080p Samsung at Best Buy this morning for $1250 after tax. I rolled in close to 7am too.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:11AM]

I cannot find this $230 Toshiba laptop deal to save my life. No matter what area code I put in, the deal doesn't show up. Is it a online deal only?

[skumancer Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:16AM]

Apple Store still down... :S

[Mile Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:15AM]

Kohls is having a sale on socks, I believe. They open at 4am!

[kaelb Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:15AM]

Apple store-
12:15 PST and still nothing. screw this, i have to get up at six tomorrow.

[kaelb Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:17AM]

scratch that, 12:17. and i have to get up at 6 today, technically.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:18AM]

Wal-Mart has a pretty sweet deal on a dell laptop. It has some pretty good specs but what really makes it a deal is that you get 2 gigs of memory with it for $598. It says that it's available in the stores and online. If you go to the site, you can check out the circular.

[mongooseblarg Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:20AM]

Best Buy had a line wrapping around the store by midnight. I think I'll skip the holidays this year.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:20AM]

Apple Store has been down since 1:40am on 11/23 eastern time USA. As of 3:15am (i.e. 12:15 PST) it's still down.

Just remember to comparison shop. For example, Amazon.com has a FAMILY PACK (5 licenses) of iWork '08 for $80. Apple sells a SINGLE license for that much.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:22AM]

the funny thing about black friday deals is that even the online ones, they arent in stock....

for example a 42 inch plasma on sale with circuit city online, and they are already not in stock and cant really order for delivery :)

bastards!

Apple....mm at least i never feel ripped off when I buy apple products.

I kinda want an imac..

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:25AM]

Looks as if apple store is back up, but getting hammered. I've yet to get the page actually loaded.

[igeekone Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:32AM]

Still down for me...

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:28AM]

nice.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 4:05AM]

Anybody found any deals for ps3 80GB ? circuit city has a free controller offer but it's out of stock and I can't order it.

Apple Store is still down here.

[sbressler Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:34AM]

Still seems down to me...

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 6th 2009 5:35PM]

Nintendo WII in stock @ Amazon.com 12AM PST. Finally, some place that doesn't make you buy a $500 bundle!

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:49AM]

[Quiksilv3r Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:39AM]

[jAsian Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:53AM]

unless you're looking for accessories and crappy discounts on things you don't want, then hit up the apple store. It's up right now. free laser engraving and shipping??! OMG!! Apple has really out done themselves this time. Time for some sleep after a disappointing apple store "update"

[riotous Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:52AM]

I never shop on black friday.

I'd rather pay regular or more normal sale price for my items than deal with that madness.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 12:17PM]

@jAsian -- my sentiments exactly.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 4:06AM]

Seems lame.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 4:28AM]

Amazon's got more deals than the 1 that starts at 6, including buy 2-get 1 free HD-DVD/Blu-Ray (select titles only).

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 4:56AM]

i can't believe there aren't more comments about the obvious abuse and trademark infringement on the Black Flag logo. I am not a lawyer, but it seems you may need someone's permission before using it. It certainly is a Black Friday.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 5:36AM]

Hell yes !

Asssociating Black Flag with a mass consumerist event is something of a 'faux pas'. That's unfortunate for a good site like Engadget.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 29th 2007 3:17PM]

Hey I just noticed that too!

Henry Rollins for President!

Vote Rollins/Biafra 2008!
