Believe me, if there was a commercial about additional items, there would be a thread about it. Closing...

We'll have all that info in this forum as soon as we get it: http://forums.gottadeal.com/forumdisplay.php?f=87

FYI, we are likely done posting additional ads on the BF site. We are focusing now on the various online sales and most stores are already posting their ads on their own web sites, so if there is an ad you are looking for, I'd suggest checking the store's web site.

Endless.com Thursday - Sunday, 11/27-11/30 (This will start on Wed at 9pm PST) 30% off regular price Boots, includes hundrends of fashion and outdoor brands: Jessica Simpson, Dolce Vita, Steve Madden, Timberland, Sorel, etc. *Frye, Ecco, Dansko and MBT excluded

It could be an online-only sale on Thanksgiving day, but usually their BF ad items are already online on Thursday, so there's no real reason to have a separate sale. Either way, if it's an online sale, we'll have all the details here: http://forums.gottadeal.com/forumdisplay.php?f=87

Target.com We haven't heard anything official, but I believe Target starts their online sale on Thanksgiving day. Anyone remember what they did last year? I'll update this post as needed :)

Kohls.com Free $10 in Kohl's Cash w/ every $50 spent 15% off code (card holders) NOV08NEW expires 11/30 Free Shipping (card holders) MVC5657 expires 11/30

I don't know where you are seeing the asterisk (maybe on the mobile site) but it probably means that it's an early bird special - 5-11am only.

Yes, many of the items will be online. See this forum for all the info when we have it: http://forums.gottadeal.com/forumdisplay.php?f=87

more deals for Friday only:

Exactly - this is the best way to do it.

As for the Zunes, the only thing I can think of is that the profit margins for the current models are so low that the stores can't really afford to give anything extra away with them. Last year everyone had that brown model on sale because it was being discontinued. And as for the laptops, I was expecting some of the netbooks to be in the $149-199 range, but very few stores even have one in their ad, much less more. I'm guessing they may not have been able to get the quantity needed for a huge nationwide sale, or they couldn't get the manufacturers to make them an exclusive SKU model like they do for a lot of the regular laptops. The companies that usually have the cheap BF laptops (Compaq/HP, Toshiba), don't really make netbook models that could get down in price that low.

yep, just after midnight west coast

Items Online NOW: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Online/ToysRUs BF ad items: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/BlackFridaySales/Store/ToysRUs ToysRUs.com Once we get more information about exact times, I'll update this post. Also last year TRU also had a special online-only sale Thanksgiving day, so if we hear about that I'll post a new thread.

http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/images/items/r20081112091511.jpg It's posted on the list on the BF site.

We're getting a lot of posts about purchasing Black Friday deals online. As we do every year, we have that covered in every possible way: First, we have a list of ad items that can be ordered online NOW at Black Friday prices. View that list here: BF Ad Items Online NOW: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Online The list is pretty bare right now, but as the week goes on and especially on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, this list will get pretty full. We have quite a few people who will be helping keep this updated, so we'll try to have the latest information on the page. Because things go in and out of stock quickly, the list may not always be 100% accurate, but we're all working hard to keep it as up-to-date as possible. Also, when you are browsing the ad item listings on the Black Friday site, items with the blue shopping cart icon are available now at BF ad prices. Those are the same items on the list linked to above. Next, we have the Online Black Friday Sales dedicated sub-forum where we'll be posting many online Black Friday sales from both traditional and online-only stores. View that forum here: Online BF Sales Forum: http://forums.gottadeal.com/forumdisplay.php?f=87 You can discuss all the online sales in that forum. We'll be posting the latest information as soon as we get it - this includes things like which items will be online, what day, time and time zone stores will put their items online, etc... so check it out. This was a very popular forum last year (especially during that period from Wednesday night until Friday morning) so we're making it even better this year.

They posted their ad on their site a few weeks ago. I'm sure its on the site somewhere. With it posted on their site, there was no need for us to host scans as well.

Considering that the laptop isn't even a doorbuster, no it's not really a deal. You can hope they add a laptop to the doorbusters when/if they announce the "extra" items online this week, but otherwise you are better off waiting for Dell or one of the other online retailers to have a better deal.

The term "Black Friday" is meaningless as the stores have ruined it this year with their "pre-BF" sales every week on November. They've flung around the term to try and fool the average consumer into thinking the deals are true Black Friday-quality deals, which in 90% of the cases they aren't. We all know that "Cyber Monday" as well is 90% hype created by the NRF to help sales on that Monday, but for the most part, the deals sites have are less impressive than their BF deals and pretty much the same as what they've had online all year. So just don't be fooled and you'll be fine. The average GDer is smart enough to know what's really a deal and what isn't. We can separate the hype from the truth :)
