some of the doorbusters are starting to appear on the site. not all, but some... www.sears.com

we're updating the tracker right now: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/OnlineItems#ToysRUs it'll take a few minutes to go through the entire list

looks like the sale has started www.toysrus.com prices might take some time to fully change

It's 11:45pm CST, not EST. You've got another 40 minutes or so...

I remember 2 years ago maybe it gave a similar message, but around 1-2am, if you kept refreshing the page, eventually the sale would come up and orders could be placed. But I think they fixed that glitch

www.staples.com looks like the site is closed until 6am ET

nope, it's just the site offer of $100 as far as i know. of course if you want to spend less, you can always add other things to reach $100 and then just return those "extra" items in store.

sounds like they are opening it up at 11:45 for everyone, but only telling charge cardholders about it, so everyone else thinks it's at 12:00.

This has been discussed in the main thread in the Online BF Sales forum. All the ad items show "out of stock" but that's just because they don't want them to go on sale until 12am PST. They will be in stock later tonight - none were sold at the sale price.

yep. pretty much all the ad items show OOS now. they will be in stock later tonight. http://i.walmart.com/i/email/nl/112309/Blitz_468X60_affiliate.gif

I don't know how they plan on doing that. I'm guessing if the prices are up early, anyone will be able to access them. I doubt their site has functionality to show one price to one group of people and another to everyone else, but we'll see I guess...

Sounds like the general public is finally starting to realize that you can get most of the deals online, and the few deals not offered online are not worth waiting 2+ days like people used to do.

Free shipping will show up on the individual product page for that specific item.

see, all that whining the past 2 months about "where are the ads?" and "i can't wait for the next ad" and you have them today with plenty of time to prepare

yep, sold out. although in past years with BB, some items that sell out on thursday become available again on friday, so you might want to check back tomorrow and see if they come back.

Yep. Seems like they just want to have their "Cyber Deals" valid today and then the BF items will be added tomorrow (tonight).

Sure. Just do a google search for "kitchenaid mixer mashed potatoes" and you'll get countless recipes.

Some links for everyone (looks like Sony laptop is OOS already): Toshiba laptop: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba+-+Satellite+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B2+Duo+Processor+-+Midnight+Breeze/9576942.p?id=1218127626133&skuId=9576942&st=9576942&cp=1&lp=1&AID=10597222&PID=1418914&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2FToshiba%2B-%2BSatellite%2BLaptop%2Bwith%2BIntel%2526%2523174%253B%2BCore%2526%2523153%253B2%2BDuo%2BProcessor%2B-%2BMidnight%2BBreeze%2F9576942.p%3Fid%3D1218127626133%26skuId%3D9576942%26st%3D9576942%26cp%3D1%26lp%3D1&ref=39&loc=01 Xbox bundle: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Xbox+360+Elite+Holiday+Plus+Bundle/9999120200050005.p?id=pcmprd120300050005&skuId=9999120200050005&AID=10597222&PID=1418914&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2FXbox%2B360%2BElite%2BHoliday%2BPlus%2BBundle%2F9999120200050005.p%3Fid%3Dpcmprd120300050005%26skuId%3D9999120200050005&ref=39&loc=01 Compaq netbook: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Compaq+-+Mini+Netbook+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Atom%26%23153%3B+Processor/9576951.p?id=1218127629647&skuId=9576951&st=9576951&cp=1&lp=1&AID=10597222&PID=1418914&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2FCompaq%2B-%2BMini%2BNetbook%2Bwith%2BIntel%2526%2523174%253B%2BAtom%2526%2523153%253B%2BProcessor%2F9576951.p%3Fid%3D1218127629647%26skuId%3D9576951%26st%3D9576951%26cp%3D1%26lp%3D1&ref=39&loc=01 iPod w/ gift card: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B+-+iPod+touch%26%23174%3B+8GB*+MP3+Player+-+Black/8771732.p?id=1204332006293&skuId=8771732&st=Apple%208GB%20iPod%20Touch&cp=1&lp=1&AID=10597222&PID=1418914&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2FApple%2526%2523174%253B%2B-%2BiPod%2Btouch%2526%2523174%253B%2B8GB*%2BMP3%2BPlayer%2B-%2BBlack%2F8771732.p%3Fid%3D1204332006293%26skuId%3D8771732%26st%3DApple%25208GB%2520iPod%2520Touch%26cp%3D1%26lp%3D1&ref=39&loc=01

ToysRUs sucks! I'll go to bed now, just because I know as soon as I do they'll change the prices, so enjoy

prices are starting to change...

There already is a thread for the online sale here: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=158421 so I'm closing this one.

We'll be updating the tracker with the items as we find them: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/OnlineItems#BestBuy

Last year it took 15-20 minutes for the prices to start to change, and about an hour for all of them to get updated, so just be patient.
