No Walmart Instead a 3-day sale: https://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/MoreSales/Walmart3Day Which most likely means no BF ad until Monday at the earliest. Commence complaints

There usually is very little (if any) overlapping between the two sales.

Not quite the same but this is coming out: https://www.analogue.co/pocket/ The systems they make for the NES, SNES and Genesis are very, very good so this should be nice as well.

Announcing our next scheduled Black Friday chat on our Discord: this Sunday, November 10th, at 8pm EST Here's the invite link: https://discord.gg/3hd2K5t If you haven't signed up, you can do so at any time. If possible, use your forum username so we know who everyone is. We'll once again have the chat in the #blackfriday channel. For those who are unfamiliar with Discord, it is a free text, voice and video chat service. You can access it via their apps or through a traditional web browser. Once you sign up for an account you can join the GD server using the special invite link above and can chat with everyone else who has signed up. One advantage of using Discord over the old forum chat function is that you can view past conversation in the channels and not just what is happening while you are there so can come and go without missing anything. We'll discuss the newest ads that have been released, which ads are still to come and yes, we'll have some more giveaways. Hope to see everyone there, and if you can't make it you can always read the chat at a later time.

It's contest time once again... How to enter: Let's say you were given $1,000 to buy anything in any of the posted Black Friday ads. What would you buy? Reply to this thread with the store, item name and price for each item you'd buy. Make sure you don't spend over $1,000 total (but don't worry about including tax) You can view the current ads here: https://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/BlackFridaySaleAds Feel free to use items from any store, including stores which we post ads from between now and the end of the contest. Limit one entry per member. Entries will be accepted until 11:00pm ET on Thursday, November 14th. At that point I'll randomly choose 15 entries and those members will receive BF survival kits. Limit of one survival kit prize per member but if you have already won you are still welcome to enter future contests for fun. For more info on the Black Friday survival kits we're giving away this year (including the bonus mystery prizes inside), see this thread.

Someone at Walmart forgot to hit the button

Separate deals most likely because by the time these start, the online Black Friday sale will already have started for the non-doorbuster BF ad items.

Seems like everyone is using it this year. Amazon replaced their "Countdown to BF" month-long sale with "Happy HoliDeals", I saw QVC using it, now Target today is introducing "HoliDeals". It's not even that clever of a name. Stop

Item listing on the BF site for the Target ad is now complete
