What does it matter? From what most people have said the last 2 months, the BF deals are disappointin anyway. Right? Right? Let the common folk have the Black Friday deals and you can get better deals online, all year long

We'll have all the details here: http://forums.gottadeal.com/forumdisplay.php?f=87

The system updates your membership "level" a few times per day. You should be able to change it sometime this afternoon or tonight.

No, last year they started late Wednesday night: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=89512 We're getting official confirmation today about their plans.

Aeropostale.com started their online BF sale today. 50-70% off and online-only "web busters" - this is their actual BF sale - there won't be anything different on Friday.

SteinerSports.com 10% off everything Free shipping on all orders Free $25 GC for each $100 spent

I was just told the Circuit City should put the items online at 12:01am ET on Friday morning (Thursday night)

We are supposed to receive final info today. When I have it, I'll post it in the Online Black Friday Sales sub-forum: http://forums.gottadeal.com/forumdisplay.php?f=87

the BF sale doesn't start until later this afternoon

MacMall Black Friday Sale

Black Friday Online Only Specials at Zales.com Deals start at midnight TONIGHT and end at NOON on FRIDAY

I don't know if those "instant rebates" are the same as the PayPal discount or not. You'll have to wait a few more hours to find out.

Check the next post in the thread (posted by me) for the other bundle.

Amazon.com is supposed to also have a very significant amount of them for sale on Thursday, so that's another option if you'll have access to a computer.

Starting tomorrow (or late tonight), Buy.com will have $5, $10, $15 and $20 instant discounts when using PayPal as your payment method. Full details (such as minimum purchase amounts) will be posted on Buy.com once the discount is live. So the great deals they will have this week will be made instantly hotter

I posted this on the main GD site and on the BF site and the Mario Bundle is leading the Brain Age bundle by about a 6 to 1 margin as far as which one people are clicking on :)

that cooking "game" is not really a "game" - it's more instructional for how to actually cook things.

FYI, Costco's lawyers sent us a letter today asking that their BF ad be removed. Luckily, they gave us until December 5th to comply with this request, so it won't be a problem Some real bright people over there... lol

Rumors of the video games deals in Amazon's BF sale: If these are just some of the video game deals, the entire sale must be HUGE...

Nintendo probably did that because the Mario Bros. game sells for $10-15 more than the Brain Age game, so by including a case with the BA bundle they both would have fairly equal "value".
