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.

[mattcoz Posted Nov 23rd 2007 6:10AM]

Amazon had the Logitech MX Revolution for $36.99 plus a $30 rebate. What a deal! A $100 mouse for $7! I ordered one as soon as I saw it, which was a good idea because they're already gone.

circut city's back with black friday deals. nothing really good to report so far though. :(

[(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.

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.

[embar Posted Nov 23rd 2007 9:15AM]

I wish you could get all your Black Friday shopping done online

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 9:36AM]

I went to Expo and bought a 42" Toshiba Regza (42HL67) for $797, and im pretty happy with myself about now. Went at 5:30 and got home by 7:30

Babylon 5 season DVDs on sale at WalMart.com for $18 each.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 10:53AM]

Man I hate living in a state that doesn't have Fry's Electronics. On a positive note I got a 22" acer flat panel for $169 after rebate(compusa).

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.

they changed the price on Logitech Z-5300e 280-watt 5.1 surround gaming speakers - $92.99 ($107 off)

[erwos 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.

[huskerbadger 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]

If only I had more money...

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 1:09PM]

Best gift ever!!!!
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:
http://www.fakebuddy.com

Also, they donate to Autism Research so it isn't just wasted money on a useless holiday gift.

[athousandleaves Posted Nov 23rd 2007 1:13PM]

So which LCD is the best to get?!?!?!

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 1:56PM]

The deals don't look all that great

[Centaur Posted Nov 23rd 2007 1:57PM]

"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.

[serverleader Posted Nov 23rd 2007 2:12PM]

for those PS3 Lovers:

Call of duty 4 Modern Warefare is 20% off

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 2:14PM]

I guess they put this one up for those of us blocking the crappy apple ads. so instead of spamming apple all over the place now, you are going to put crappy deals as "news" events... sad sad engadget

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 2:24PM]

Good deals on DVDs @ Amazon too, 2-disk "300" for $7.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 2:35PM]

Just took a look at the Mac site with their "deals". I noticed that although you do save on the systems, the Apple Care plan for the iMacs have gone from $139 to $199. The savings aren't as big as they look.

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

Forgot to mention that this was on the Canadian Apple store.

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

in the post is thinkgeek spelled thinkgee? or is it just me?

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:24PM]

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...

I should have known better. I worked several black fridays at Best Buy...

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 23rd 2007 3:33PM]

Bunch of Greedy mothers, why don't you all go save a 3rd world country instead of feeding the corporate giants!

[P1h3r1e3d13 Posted Nov 23rd 2007 5:12PM]

"Circuit City has 791 items on sale by our count"
