I added Inkstop to the list in Samisma's original post. Link to their ad: http://www.inkstop.net/in_store_flyer/IS_main.php Looks like their typical ad -- nothing at blowout prices. InkStop is a regional retailer. Local store locator: http://direct.where2getit.com/cwc/apps/w2gi.php?template=search&client=inkstop

Have you looked at any sample photos from this camera? http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/NO/bo40.gif There's a terrible amount of ISO noise (fuzziness): http://www.steves-digicams.com/2008_reviews/fuji_s1000fd_samples.html Look at the images at full size.

You aren't likely to ever see a discount on a no-commitment price, in most cases, the phone company loses money on the sale of the phone knowing that they'll make the money back in continued service fees over the life of the contract. You can upgrade your phone every week if you want. Just pay the no-commitment price. And every 6 months? I know we live in a throw-away society, but that would quadruple the amount of phones to recycle (vs. getting a new phone every two years).

Do the other Staples carry laptops on a regular basis? If so, then they'll probably have the sale laptop. Go to staples.com, look up phone number for the store in question and call 'em to ask. I seriously doubt the printer would be included online.

I would suggest recording all of your VHS onto DVD as soon as you can. I did that a while ago and was shocked as to how much the videotape (picture/sound) had degraded over time. The DVD will last much longer.

Stay out of the big box stores -- you have the right idea, stick with Radioshack, OfficeMax, Office Depot and Staples. Maybe JCP or Sears. Target, Walmart, BB, CC = http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Sad%20Upset/millan_whatdidimiss.gif

You're welcome. If you search on YouTube for "synchonized Christmas lights", there are at least 50 videos out there (I'm sure some are duplicates). http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Holidays/glittertree.gif

If all you are after at Best Buy is a 19" monitor, I think you'd have to be out of your mind to go there on Black Friday. The monitor in question has a regular retail of about $129. To save $30 are you willing to not get the monitor at all -and- wait in line to check out for up to 3 hours? I am not kidding - I did Black Friday at Best Buy back in 2004 and waited in line for at least two hours, and Black Friday is much more popular now than it was back then.

They do hand out tickets for doorbusters and things they feel they might run out of. How early? 90 minutes at least.

It would be less confrontational if you just bought them online when they go on sale at staples.com after midnight on BF. There was a big stink around here a few years ago when Lowe's had some HDTVs at incredible prices for BF. People who camped out were pissed to find out that ALL of the TVs had been bought before the doors even opened by employees and their friends.

Yes, please continue any discussion in the thread mentioned: http://forums.gottadeal.com/forumdisplay.php?f=87 http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Threads/sign0074.gif

In 6 years I've ordered from them 37 times to a total of $4,8xx.xx. They're my first choice for ordering anything online. One nice thing, if you order something, they actually have it in stock (a novel concept compared to many other sites) and they typically ship same day. They have two warehouses - one in NJ, the other in CA. Any returns need to be shipped to CA.

I can't even find a deal that makes it worth me getting up at 5 am for.

Actually, this thread is a warning to those folks who think they can just waltz up to the front door of Best Buy, Circuit City, or Wal-Mart at 11:30 pm on Thanksgiving and get some doorbusters. It ain't gonna happen... http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Surprise/shocking1.gif

I am already online for Newegg.com. http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Yes/10.gif It is 12:48 am EST.

The 3rd edition lacks the ability to create "routes" like you can on the LE model. I'm not sure the status of routes on the 125 or 130. The 125 does lack the maps for Canada. The 125 and 130 do have foldable mounting brackets (makes it easier to stick in a bag or purse).

Promom -- you need to have a Wii gaming system.

But it's still ugly.

If you need the ability to play videos than I'd recommend the Phillips over that no-name one at JCPenneys (see my post from earlier this afternoon). However, if you can get to a RadioShack on Black Friday then the Sansa Fuze is a better bet for basically the same money.
