In case anyone wants to put these on your own site or in your signature on another forum (when allowed of course), I quickly made some banners for you to use. These are being hosted on a forum separate from the BF site, so feel free to hotlink them if you'd like. Also be sure to link them to the main Black Friday site if possible. You can also feel free to make your own graphics if you need them to be a specific size other than what's here. http://www.bfinside.com/countdown.gif URL: http://www.bfinside.com/countdown.gif (this one will automatically update, so you'll need to use the URL above to access it) http://www.bfinside.com/banners/380x120.gif URL: http://www.bfinside.com/banners/380x120.gif http://www.bfinside.com/banners/285x90.gif URL: http://www.bfinside.com/banners/285x90.gif http://www.bfinside.com/banners/190x60.gif URL: http://www.bfinside.com/banners/190x60.gif http://www.bfinside.com/banners/userbar1.gif URL: http://www.bfinside.com/banners/userbar1.gif http://www.bfinside.com/banners/userbar2.gif URL: http://www.bfinside.com/banners/userbar2.gif http://www.bfinside.com/banners/userbar3.gif URL: http://www.bfinside.com/banners/userbar3.gif http://www.bfinside.com/banners/userbar4.gif URL: http://www.bfinside.com/banners/userbar4.gif There are also some graphics from last year still available in this thread.

As always this year we have the mailing list you can subscribe to that lets you know when new ads have been posted. You can sign up for that here: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/EMailAlerts Because of the popularity of the site, this mailing list has grown exponentially the last few years, and therefore it can take several hours for the e-mails to reach everyone. Therefore I thought I'd give you some pointers if you'd like to get notifications a little quicker. First, the Black Friday site has an RSS feed which contains the latest updates to the site, including all new ads posted. You can follow this with any RSS news reader to get the latest updates. I will usually post new ad updates here before I start sending out the e-mails. You can also use one of the many RSS-to-email services to have the RSS feed sent to your inbox automatically when new updates are posted. Again, this may help you get updates faster. One example of such a service is RMail.org. There are similar services which can send RSS feed updates to your cell phone as well. Finally, at least for now, the mailing list system sends out e-mails alphabetically. Therefore if you have access to an e-mail address that starts with a number or one of the first letters of the alphabet, chances are you'll get updated first. Please note that this may (and likely will) change in the future, but for now it should work. In the meantime I am looking into ways to speed up the e-mailing process, but for now, those are some ways you BF-diehards can get the info as soon as possible :)

next contest is up: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=82624

Best Buy has another $349 laptop this week: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8398691&st=ML3109&type=product&id=1179877238826

Based on what I've seen in the past, I think there is a good chance that the first "big" ads will be the Sears and Kmart ads. Those seem to always come out early (especially Sears). Radio Shack also seems to come out early. As for the really big stores, usually Wal-Mart is first, followed by Target. Best Buy / Circuit City / Staples seem to be some of the last to come out each year.

Shows $39.99 for me. It's the Gold Box special for the day.

Moving to Deal Finder as this is not a deal. Please keep all requests in the Deal Finder forum.

The site was moved to new servers earlier tonight. Everything should work as usual, but if you have any problems, see any error messages or notice anything not working like it should, please post here and let me know. Thanks :)

Rather than wait in line of BF, you could also possibly spend that time filling out envelopes for the McDonalds Monopoly game and get a great deal on a TV at Best Buy. Details: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=80341

To keep bandwidth down, please download ads from retailer web sites. For item listings, see: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com

Another way to help the site is to digg the stories we post on the BF site which helps spread the word. Sign up for an account at www.digg.com (if you don't already have one), and digg the stories on this page: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/LatestNews Thanks :)

Update on the end of analog TV: http://slashdot.org/articles/07/09/13/0121237.shtml

Here are the actual scans: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=82464 As always, full page scans will only be posted on the forum for you members to access :)

The full list has been posted now. I'm adding the individual pictures on the BF site, as well as linking to the items on AceHardware.com. I'll post the complete scans here very soon :)

This is very early for an ad to be out already, so don't expect many more ads to come out soon. We might see a few smaller ads, but the big stores won't be out for at least another month I'm guessing.

See: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/BlackFridaySales/Store/AceHardware This are from the first page. The other pages will be posted shortly :) Update: full list now posted!

We have a list of last year's ad items, but IIRC, Lowes was one of the stores that had their lawyers contact us to remove the ad from the site, so the items probably won't be on there.

very nice deal

I think all the hot doorbuster items should be randomly placed around the store. So if there are 10 $99 laptops available, all 10 are in 10 different places throughout the store. Have it be one crazy scavenger hunt

Any Target coupons will be here: http://www.gottadeal.com/Coupons/Store/Targetcom They usually just have their 10% off coupons as they do now. Occasionally they'll have larger discounts (15-20%) but they are usually only good on certain categories, like furniture.

And the winner randomly chosen from all entries is jerseygirl :) Please PM me with your mailing address and your choice of shirt design and size. Congrats And to everyone else, be on the lookout for many more giveaways very soon...
