Thanksgiving is moving ever closer -- and we all know what that means: the day that comes after. That's right, there's nothing more American than following up a day of thanks with a day of hitting the malls, strip malls, big boxes, and virtual shops up for the hottest deals to be found this side of the Atlantic. We've rounded up a few of the more choice deals we've found on the 'net for you so you don't have to search all alone... and first up, Office Depot's got a 17.3-inch,Windows 7-boasting Toshiba Satellite L555D-S7930 for $649 and a 12 megapixel Nikon Coolipix S570 for $200, while over at Best Buy you can grab up a 120GB PS3 with three games for $300, with a host of cheap video games for Xbox 360 and PS3. Finally mammoth of the retail world Sears has a Canon EOS Rebel XS for $570, plus some of the cheapest digital photo frames around and a DVD player for $18. You're getting excited, aren't you?
To be honest... these deals suck.
i agree...nothings quite as cheap as your mom
These deals are terrible. Where's the cheap HDTVs?
i was thinking the same thing and then i saw ur comment...couldn't agree more
http://www.blackfriday.info/sales/sears-black-friday-ad.html Go all the way to the bottom where it reads Televisions not bad
There is some of em
Samsung 42" Plasma HDTV PN42B400 - $549.99
Sony 32" Class LCD HDTV (Model KDL-32L504) - $379.99 *
Zenith 42" Class Plasma HDTV (Model #Z42PO2) - $499.99
IT'S A RECESSION EVERYBODY BROKE
SO I JUST CAME BACK TO GIVE EVERYBODY HOPE
JUST LOOKING OUT FOR MY FOLK GIVEN THE WHOLE NINE
YEAH YOU AIN'T GOT IT NOW SO YOU KEEP THE WHOLE NINE
i know, this black friday is going to be as bad as last years! i thought they would have learned their lesson.
@apop90: those deals suck. those are like memorial day or 4th of july sales...NOT black friday.
his mom is awesome - so shut up
I think its funny how they mentioned that Office Depot was selling the Nikon S570 for $200, when a flier on the same site lists it for $150 at Sears.
The best deal on a TV is at Target : $245ish for a 32inch Westinghouse.

Canon EOS Rebel XS... $519.99 right now
You stole my name. I expect it to be returned immediately.
You really should return that.
Any good deals on TVs ?
You guys have the Toshiba laptop price wrong, its 500 Bucks. Not 649.
Umm... The Best Buy add says 2 games; Rachet & Clank and Little Big Planet.
Yea.... there is no third game.
bfads.net has the ads.. go there and look
Bfads.net is absolutely the best Black Friday site. I've been using it for many years.
I suppose it would be if I lived in Soutwest Virginia. :/
My bad. I went to bfads.com instead of bfads.net. Major difference. :P
Indeed, I've been using it for 3 or 4 years now I think and they get better every year.
well these deals arent getting me excited....
what about your gf or wife?
Or BF or pets...
Is that ps3 a slim?
yep...if i didn't already have one i'd be all over that deal. the slimmer ps3 is awesome and those 2 games are sick, plus you could add on a few other new games for 35 bucks. not a bad deal at all imho.
This Black Friday is just like last year. These retailers are not getting people out the bed at these prices. These deals suck seriously! I could see if they had a Windows 7, 15"+, w/Bluray laptop for $399 or something like that, that might get people excited. But all I see is stuff at prices that it should be sold around. The only deals are on Kitchen appliances, wish I could close on my home sooner, but oh well. That Best Buy Rewards Zone 7:30pm exclusive buying event is a joke also! The Recession goes on...
How are the multimedia capabilities of the Android phones?
Right now I carry a (verizon) phone plus an ipod touch. The latter is used primarily for podcasts on my commute, plus web, mail, and apps. I was considering getting switching to AT&T, to consolidate phone and ipod in the iphone. If the Droid could handle podcasts as well as an ipod, I'd be well on my way toward staying with verizon.
Bah! Ignore the last comment. Stupid password-reminder program remembered too much..
Actual comment was:
"Yay! Now I can sleep later"
We now return you to your normal thread, already in progress
Well expecting a high end Blue Ray laptop for $399 is asking a bit much lol..... but I do understand where you are coming from. I did get a nice dual-core laptop for $350 thanks to the My Cheap tech site posted below and 32" HDTV as well, all without dealing with fat angry people at Wal-Mart on Black Friday, so that you Engadget for this post :) (no offense to angry people or fat or Wal-art)
I'm just looking for a T.V. That Sears 52 inch Samsung TV is actually a step down from the previous model in terms of specs according to CNET. Ofcourse the ignorant masses won't know that and they will see it "Ohhhh newer model number must have shiny new stuff".
I apologize Laura June, I don't hate you.
Why does engadget do like 2 posts a day on the weekends? Really annoying.
I wonder if I can get the Moto Droid for $100 on black friday... hmmm.
So many less newses. Want me to make some up? I could do that...
yes, but be sure to put a disclaimer before the article
do they actually say "newses" ???
cool
WOOO HOOO GIANT SQUIRREL!
has wal marts bfad leaked yet?
No, not yet. That's the only one I'm holding out hope for tho.
bffad?
Black Friday FOREVER!!! YAAAAAAY!!!
Every freakin day is Black Friday in the internet. Why bother?
I honestly can't get excited over any black friday deals. The BF deals I see typically are items 10 bucks less than what they normally are for the rest of the year. It doesn't make want to take part in trampling an innocent person at WalMart.

^Does anyone know exactly what model PC is Best Buy offering in this bundle? For a deal like this I wouldn't mind buying another graphics card and PSU separately.
It's a tough call since none of the desktops on the site are listed having 1TB hard drives.
Whenever more information gets posted, try and see if you can grab a shot of the inside or a listing of the available slots on the motherboard. HP does some funky stuff with the available ports on their motherboards, ie: My friend's didn't have a PCI-E slot, one of our customer's computers lacked any PCI slots at all.
Just a word of caution is all.
all the Windows 7 computers in the Best Buy ad are black friday only models, so they wont be listed on the their site right now, but its the p6214y
Wow, 6 free games with a Xbox 360 Elite! No way! Too bad the 6 games are terrible, why not just give us $100 off on the Elite. That would actually be a good deal.
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 and Pure are both great games...the other 4 do suck though.
kinda crappy...
