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?

I'm confused - is that $200 DROID contract-free? It says Reg. Price $600, which I assume is the contract-free price.

[apop Posted Nov 14th 2009 4:44PM]

Yea I think your right if it was on contract id be like this

Verizon - Motorola Rival A455 Cell Phone - Purple - A455
ADD TO LIST
FREE w/ 2-yr. Contract

[Bandigolo Posted Nov 14th 2009 5:07PM]

That's a pretty f*ing crazy low price for that phone contract-free.

[cstayfresh Posted Nov 14th 2009 5:18PM]

What ad do you see that deal in?

[Oghowie Posted Nov 14th 2009 6:20PM]

No way.

[insky Posted Nov 14th 2009 7:52PM]

If you read the fine print at the bottom it says;
"With new 2-year activation"

Sorry.

[David Wagner Posted Nov 27th 2009 11:21PM]

It also says "Same price new and upgrade". I may be clutching at straws here, but does that mean "new contract" or "new purchase". I will happily camp out all night for a contract-free DROID at the upgrade price. I'm sure most everybody else would too though. Are you listening Best Buy?

[Bandigolo Posted Nov 15th 2009 11:15AM]

I'm sure it means "new customers" and "upgrade / existing customers." What a scam tactic. $199 is what it has always cost.

[OrsonX Posted Nov 14th 2009 4:24PM]

test2, where did the first one go...

[Ops Posted Nov 14th 2009 4:37PM]

this bf sucks dick.

[brexb Posted Nov 14th 2009 8:07PM]

I just wish that were true.

[Slick Posted Nov 14th 2009 4:40PM]

I like their motto: "Not a single 'bait & switch' since 1971". They did it in 1971. God-willing, they'll do it again.

[apop Posted Nov 14th 2009 4:44PM]

http://bfads.net/Best-Buy/Name/Page5 Look at the epic fail on this page Hint: It reads
Apple - MacBook with 13.3" Display - White ahhahaha guys look before you do anything k haha

[diamond3 Posted Nov 14th 2009 7:25PM]

[apop Posted Nov 14th 2009 8:22PM]

[Hydra Posted Nov 14th 2009 5:02PM]

I will not leave the house this black friday nothing is worth the trouble. The ps3 slim deal is the best I have seen yet, but still isn't that great of a deal. You can find plenty of ps3's a lot cheaper on craigslist that can still play ps2 games

[Ops Posted Nov 14th 2009 5:25PM]

the 17" @ sams club by far is the best deal out there

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 14th 2009 6:22PM]

2009 BLACK FRIDAY ADS = FAIL!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 14th 2009 10:57PM]

why aren't my eyes popping and my mouth isnt drooling from these deals? they suck.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 14th 2009 6:55PM]

The only ones showing up to BF this year will be the uninformed. I'm sure that is what they are counting on.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 14th 2009 7:08PM]

Everything about Black Friday will be smaller this year. Smaller inventories, less workers, crappier deals.

Don't count on me waiting on line...

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 14th 2009 8:12PM]

Definitely only 2 free games with the PS3

[ColonelKernel Posted Nov 14th 2009 8:23PM]

I will sleep so well that Friday morning.

[Krazie Posted Nov 14th 2009 8:24PM]

Nothing worth waiting in line for as of yet... I'll be sleeping late!

[John619 Posted Nov 14th 2009 8:47PM]

I got a Acer laptop for $250 brand new at http://www.mycheaptech.net and I think I will get a better deal on Black Friday......


You can can most of those deals online right now!!!!

[rjs Posted Nov 14th 2009 8:54PM]

BB considers a TV for $1600 a doorbuster? WTF?

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 14th 2009 8:56PM]

Not the best deals in the world.

[RaPhiKi Posted Nov 14th 2009 10:34PM]

Well... I already sprung up for a Klipsch 2.1 speaker for $131down from $154 from Worst Buy w00t!I'll pick up in-store by next week. I'm actually gonna go there black Friday morning to buy Crysis 2 for $5 because F**K MW2 no dedi servers...

[Vic Posted Nov 14th 2009 10:41PM]

I am NOT getting up at 3am for this crap. Black Friday sucks, its for the womens. I live for cyber Monday, and if that sucks as well so be it, we are all broke anyway. There is some stuff I have not gotten around to buying online though, things like tires (Sears has a good deal) that neither I nor anyone I know can install. So this is not without its benefits.

[Mikerman Posted Nov 14th 2009 11:08PM]

Some decent TV deals, but very blah apart from that otherwise. Pretty surprising that the retailers are not fighting harder to excite customers, given the state of things this year--at this rate, the retailers are going to have a poor season ...

Anyone out there listening, retailers?

[Peytral Posted Nov 15th 2009 2:31AM]

disappointing

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 15th 2009 3:37AM]

The 17.3 inch laptop at Office Depot is actually $449 not $649, little typo there, at $449 it's actually a really good deal.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 15th 2009 9:56AM]

The Toys R Us ad is leaked here (lots of nice video game deals):

[michaelweb Posted Nov 15th 2009 10:28AM]

Agreed, overstock or google shopping normally gets you close without have to camp for hours on end. My time is worth more than that $50 bucks I'd have to spend for a tent to be the first in line

[Bandigolo Posted Nov 15th 2009 11:17AM]

I think most people around these parts are hoping for online deals as not to subject themselves to the inconvenience of standing in line. All is not lost - keep you eyes peeled, last year I got two spectacular deals that were unadvertised until last minute.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 17th 2009 1:28PM]

If the Canon EOS Rebel price at Sears is a Black Friday deal, why does it look like I can get that price right now?

[Jeff Kibuule Posted Nov 22nd 2009 6:52PM]

Seriously, the only interesting stuff I think we'll get this Black Friday is from Amazon. Last year they had a pretty good sale on Blu-ray movies for about 1/2 off. I remember getting Transformers for $13 shipped when it cost $25.

Amazon comes out with their Black Friday sales tomorrow, so we'll see what they offer. Otherwise, I'm not really going to bother getting up early that day.
