Both Sears and Kmart shut down their affiliate programs through at least the end of the month today because of budget issues. Not looking good...

Thanks. Yeah if you use the app, we don't get any commission from those purchases.

Verizon (the only carrier that carries the Pixels) had discounts on them last year, so you could expect the same this year. Google offered 3 months of Google Play Music/YouTube Red with the purchase of one last year, no nothing great.

Running low on 4XL so if you want one, better order soon!

http://i.gottadeal.com/main/deals250/image18145x259x162.jpg Time for another fun contest We've got a $50 Amazon.com gift card to give away along with 10 Black Friday t-shirts. To be entered to win, just reply to this thread with a link to something on Amazon.com that you think would make a unique gift idea and post a sentence or two about what it is and what kind of person you think it would appeal to. If you need ideas, Amazon just released their Electronics Gift Guide, Home Gift Guide and Top 100 Toy List this morning. The contest will run through Tuesday, October 24th at 9pm ET. At that point I'll randomly pick someone to win the $50 gift card and 10 more people to win Black Friday t-shirts. As always, if you've already won a shirt you can't win another, but you can try for the $50 gift card. Also, you can post once per day during the contest (so up to 9 total entries), but please do not post more than once per day. Good luck! And don't forget that if you want to order more Black Friday shirts, you can do that here. http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/contestshirts.png

As I've done the past few years, I've looked at the data from the past several years including when the ad was leaked for some popular stores and what date Black Friday fell on each year. Based on these numbers and this year's Black Friday date (November 24th), here is the "average" day you can expect these ads this year: November 5: Sears, Sam's Club November 6: Kohl's, JCPenney, Meijer, Macy's November 7: Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, Kmart November 8: Office Depot, Gander Mountain, Walgreens November 9: Staples November 10: CVS Pharmacy, Bass Pro Shops November 11: Dick's Sporting Goods November 12: Menard's, GameStop November 13: Lowe's, Old Navy November 15: Home Depot November 24: Black Friday 2017 You can go back through the last 11 years to see the leaked dates for many stores here: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Dates Of course you may remember that the last few years we had a crazy 36-hour periods that saw ads from Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Kohl's and many others all released right after each other. I expect something similar this year around November 6-8 (and the data above backs it up), so be prepared...

Here is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-915-000239-Harmony-Companion-Remote/dp/B00N3RFC4G/ They have another version with a screen on the remote as well. Can work with Hue lights, Nest thermostats and other devices.

I was on a conference call yesterday with Amazon and a bunch of their product line managers and other higher-ups and they are really going all in on smart home stuff for the holidays. So expect a lot of deals from them, especially on bundles with things like an Echo speaker and smart lights to get people started.

I have both Google Home and an Echo speaker to control various devices but I mostly use the Google Home as the Echo is there just for any Alexa-exclusive deals that pop up. The Google Home controls the Philips Hue lights that I have both inside and outside. I also have Nest cameras and their smart thermostat which can also be controlled by the Google Home. My TV has Android TV which means I can tell the Home to show any of my camera feeds on the TV if I'd like. My Harmony remote control can also control the lights if I don't want to use voice. For music I have Sonos speakers throughout the house and they are finally starting to allow devices such as Echo speakers to control those, but I'm still using the app.

It's looking like smart home products are going to be pretty big this year so we're going to have a thread for these items. Feel free to post questions, ask for recommendations and post reviews of any smart devices you have. This would include things such as Echo speakers, Hue lights, Nest cameras & thermostats, Ring doorbells, etc...

There probably aren't many kids that young who know about the SNES and would care enough beyond "hey, this is worth a lot, i want it". But you can feel free to reward your friendly GD admin for positive behavior instead
