As for the iPod touch 4th gen deal for $195 w/ $50 gift card, it's a very good price. But f you don't mind paying a little more to secure one one, eBay's Daily Deal page has them today for $169.99 with free shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/360507409065 When you factor in tax (if BB charges tax in your state), it's likely less than a $15 difference ($170 for eBay vs $155 or more for BB after you factor in the GC) but you are paying less money out-of-pocket and no crowds to deal with or taking chances online on BF. Just an idea

Yeah they've had many of the gift card promos online, including the iPods in the past. As for the day they go on sale online, don't put too much into what is in the ad. Many times they start the online sales earlier. But don't worry as we cover the online BF sales extremely thoroughly so you won't miss anything. We'll have our tracker on the site, we'll send out e-mails when the major stores go online and there will be threads here on the forum for all the online sales.

And I don't want to see any whining about the bonus free items that were included No complaints that you didn't get an extra shirt, gift card, or anything else There were too many orders and not enough of those things. Everyone got several extra items. The extra shirts that I included were all different sizes, so maybe once you all start getting your packages someone can post a "trading" thread where you can try to trade a size you don't need for one you do.

T-shirts have been picked up and are now en route to all of you who have bought them. Once the ads slow down and I get some time I'll ship out the winners' shirts. They are already packaged - just need to slap on a label.

It probably would have been Tuesday night if not for the election. They just delayed it a day. I also learned today that they sent the ad to CNN and other media outlets yesterday afternoon so they could prepare stories to post at midnight.

I wish every store would do this. Would make my job much easier

No worries. I'm so tired I can't even see straight so I didn't even read anything other than the prices were wrong, lol. We have the MAP laws here so that screwed things up.

If you are referring to the iPad 2 for $399 with $75 gift card, eBay had the same model for $349 today with free shipping and no tax. A similar deal when you factor in tax. They'll have it again most likely.

OK, scans and PDFs should be the lower priced version now. Again, not all states will have these prices but I think the majority will.

Working on replacing the scans now. GIve me a few minutes...

It doesn't give one. It says models will vary, so different stores may have different brands - whatever they can get a decent supply of most likely. Same with the 50" on the back cover.

yep, they do most of their ad items online.

Shirts are getting picked up tomorrow, so some of you might start getting them as soon as Saturday depending on how quickly they get processed at the local P.O. These are the ordered shirts only. I'll ship shirts that people have won through contests next week.

http://i.gottadeal.com/blackfriday/scans/GottaDeal-BestBuy-BF2012.pdf Here is a PDF of the screenshots. We'll replace this file with the actual ad once we get it.

kind of a regional store, but maybe someone is interested in it. here's the PDF: http://i.gottadeal.com/blackfriday/scans/GottaDeal-SportsmansWarehouse-BF2012.pdf

I'd say the chances are pretty good. I'd put it at maybe 80% based on what I've seen in past years for that type of deal. But it won't last long online.

I wouldn't say everything (don't want to get people's hopes up). There are usually a few items each year that are in-store only, but I'd say around 95% of the ad is available online at some point. We check every item in the ad MANY times that week when we mark which items are online, so I know there have been a few doorbusters that they didn't offer (or if they did they were gone in seconds)

I still think they'll have a few more "WOW!" type doorbusters, but yeah this is most of the ad.
