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.

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

[(Unverified) 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....

[(Unverified) 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.

[(Unverified) 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! :-)

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

[(Unverified) 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

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:15AM]

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

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

[(Unverified) 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.

[(Unverified) 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.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:32AM]

Still down for me...

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

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.

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 3:53AM]

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.

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 23rd 2007 6:53AM]

Acer 20-inch 1680 x 1050 pixel LCD

If any of you are thinking of getting a fair sized LCD, or even two of them for dualies, these are great panels. I have two of them, the one with the black bezel and the one with the silver, side by side, and they are awesome. They aren't a 3,000 dollar monitors quality, but they definitely aren't a 3,000 dollar monitors price. If you aren't looking for the best of the best, but want something good and cheap, this is the perfect panel for you.

You can buy them any regular day at NCIX.com for $224 CAD.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 25th 2007 10:37AM]

Total misuse of a classic logo, get your head outta your ass.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 5:44PM]

Seriously- F black friday in the A. I am never goin again- it used to be that if you got there around midnight you were in pretty good shape. we get there at 7:30 pm and we're number 175 in line.

seriously- Black Friday is too hardcore for me.

Did you guys get permission to rip off the band Black Flag's logo?

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 6:41PM]

Of course not!!! These guys are just a bunch of corporate sluts who sell out to the highest bidder (in this case whoever pays for the most screen space) and will use ANY, and I mean ANY, means to cash in where ever they don't have to pay a cent of THEIR money.

I emailed a score of fan sites and the standing sites of the band members, and emailed engadget directly about how they've become a shell of the tech site they used to be, only degrading themselves to a for profit classified ad space for megacorps, and they simply respond by deleting my posts.

Censorship AND corporate greed. That's the new engadget.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 12:56PM]

Circuit City had a Photosmart C6180 AIO on sale for $150. This is half off retail, and $130 off Amazon. I'm astonished more people didn't go for it, considering you'd be hard-pressed to get an AIO with an ADF for anything less.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 1:00PM]

The best deal of all had to be the Sharp 46" Aquos 1080p LCD TV at Circuit City for $1299.00. That's literally HALF OFF their regular price. And it's an awesome TV, not second or third tier sorta OK unit like many being advertised today.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 1:06PM]

My brother got me one of these for my birthday, and it's hilarious. I plan on getting one for some of my friends this Christmas:

"Think Gee"?

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 2:04PM]

I agree with some of the comments - I am not sure that there are really many deals around. A couple of good TV buys, but mostly odd sized sets.

I think that the _after_ Xmas sales are going to be better - especially if retailers miss expectations and want to have a decent close for '07.

Too bad it's damn near impossible to get any of the "doorbuster" deals. Even standing in line at door open I couldn't get the few items I wanted before they were sold out after having waited in line for over an hour to walk in the door. Never again...
