I saw that Wii deal yesterday while flipping channels, but if you do the math, it really wasn't that great of a deal. The 101 games disc sells for $20, the messenger bag is about $10 and the plastic sports set can be bought for around $20, so the bundle is about $50 more than it should be plus shipping/tax if they charged that. Bundles should theoretically be cheaper than buying the things individually, but QVC has to make their $ somehow. But I can see how the 6-payment option would be appealing.

looks like as of now we have exactly 10 members with entries, so right now all of you would win a prize if the contest ended now. but if we get more entries in the next 10 hours, i'll have to do an actual drawing :)

Insignia is Best Buy's own brand. You might want to do a search for the model number on www.avsforum.com and see if you can find some reviews from them.

I think for the Wii, it will still be $199. I'm guessing possibly the ad was prepared before the recent price cut so they didn't put the new price in it yet.

Each year for certain "hot" items they don't list prices in the ad because they want to be able to match what their competitors are offering it for at the time the ad starts, so they just say something like "HOT PRICE" but you have to check the web site/store once the sale starts to know what they'll sell it for.

if i was sure enough people would participate, we would have a lot more of these...

keep the entries coming, one more day

She'll definitely get some stuff for her help :)

Here it is: http://www.blackfridayvip.com/scans/GottaDeal-ToysRUsBigToyBook.pdf Thanks again to kimpooh19 who scanned and sent all 80 pages last night

alright, it's the weekend. you all should have some free time to get some pics up. this will probably be your best chance to win one of the BF survival kits!

interesting considering lowes sent their lawyers after us last year for posting the ad early

just so nobody waits up, i'm 99% sure the ad won't be posted until tomorrow morning. we're only half done with the scans, then everything has to be resized, rotated, cropped, uploaded, etc... so i'm probably going to just finish it all tomorrow morning rather than pulling an all-nighter. i need to save those all-nighters for the real BF ads

update: looks like the book is around 80 pages (yes, 80...) so we're not going to be typing up the list of items like we do with BF ads since it's not technically a BF ad (and did I mention it's 80 pages? ), but we'll post the scans once we have the full ad (it could be awhile, lol)

if all goes well with the scanning/emailing, we should have it posted tomorrow morning most likely

doing that just shows these employees/contractors that the ad is very valuable to the right people, and if anything will encourage someone (who wouldn't otherwise have even thought about it) to take it for that reason alone.

i'll send you a PM with details

any chance you could scan it and send it to me so i can post it for everyone? i know it's a big book, so no problem if you can't - i'm sure someone else will send it in soon enough :)

I want BF to be over so I can go back to being a slacker for the other 10 months of the year

OK, bad news:

From this story: http://www.twice.com/article/366221-HES_Outlines_Q4_Battle_Plans.php HES represents many of the smaller electronics retailers, but the article holds true for big-box stores as well. It's pretty much what we already knew - while doorbuster deals might end up being losses for stores, they'll try to get you with the stuff I bolded above, which are usually not great deals. There is a 99% chance you can buy any "accessory" the kid at Best Buy tries to get you to buy with your new HDTV for less online or at a discount store.
