We're upping the max connections right now and we'll be upgrading to a much more powerful server over the weekend (we didn't expect an ad this soon, lol), so we apologize for any inconvenience now :) It should be over soon.

This is a great feature that will become even more valuable as more ads come out and more people start making their lists. Here is our Black Friday Most Wanted page: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/MostWanted It uses the data from the shopping lists created by you, the Black Frida shoppers, to determine the most popular items overall and for each product category. Once more ads come out, we'll add lists of the most popular items for each store as well. So take a look and if you have any suggestions for ways to improve it, let us know :)

For those who might be shopping at Ace Hardware on Black Friday, here is a nice deal to make your dollar go even further: 1. Go to AceHardware.com 2. Search for "$50 gift card" 3. Add the $50 gift card to your cart 4. Where it says "Using a promotional code?" enter ACEHW10 and click Apply. The coupon code will knock off $10 and give you the gift card for $40, plus $2.50 shipping so your total is $42.50. You may have to enter the coupon code once more during the final stage of checkout.

I agree this is definitely a Black Friday-worthy deal :)

Keep in mind that these are only the 5-11am "doorbusters". Hopefully we'll get info about the main ad shortly.

Use coupon code 5360ZT0FK48TD7 and it still works :)

We temprarily removed it while we do some checking. If we think it's legit (and it looks that way) the thread will re-appear and the items will be posted on the main site very shortly :)

Looks like Tuesday is currently in the lead. I'll leave the poll open a few more days and then we'll make an announcement and the first chat will be next week.

If you are looking for the 512MB Shuffle, Overstock.com has it for $89.99 plus $1.00 shipping, and they are new units where these are refurbed. Use this 10% off coupon link and your final cost is $81.99 shipped: http://www.gottadeal.com/Coupon/977 Just search for "ipod shuffle" and it comes up.

bumping this to get some more votes :)

I can guarantee that there will be several laptops on sale. That's one of the items you can always count on for BF - cheap laptops :)

We want to start weekly scheduled Black Friday chats in our chat room, so we'd like to know which day(s) of the week would be best for you. The chat would start around 9pm ET most likely and would go as long as you want it to.

Check this deal at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0006688XE Symphonic WF803 DVD/VCR Combo for $66.49 with Free Shipping Also no sales tax for most states. Get one and that's one less thing you need to get on BF :)

If anyone really does plan to get in line way early and lives in a city where there is a good chance you'll be on TV, send me a PM and we'll discuss possibly getting you a t-shirt :) But we're going to need pics of you wearing it waiting in front of the store...

Everyone will be wearing their GottaDeal t-shirt that they buy from us: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=15316 :)

Might be something in here: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=14906

It'll be interesting to see if there are any 360s left on BF or if they are all gone on release day. If I had to guess I'd say there will be a lot of the $299 systems available, but the deluxe version might be hard to find.

Pick up 2 for me :)

This shows as being sold out for me Was going to pick up one or two.

It doesn't look like it has reached the max uses, but it isn't applying to this particular system for some reason. I know it was working this morning. Maybe they decided it was too good of a deal and make the coupon incompatible.

I'm in the minority on this, but I have no problem with it. If I run a store, why should I offer all not only my store's BF specials at (in many cases) below-cost, but then also have to provide the lower, (again in many cases) below-cost prices on other items that all the other stores offer. Just seems like a sound business decision. Should also keep the lines shorter without everyone coming to the register with their 14 different ads wanting lower prices on everything. Just my opinion - flame away

I'm sure they will look at the sales of XPS models with those coupons to determine if they should be offered again. A lot will depend on the sales of the M170 without any coupon. If sales slump, I expect the coupons to more regularly apply to XPS models as well.
