I wish the chicken bake had a tomato based marinana sauce

If they're the same EB polo shirts for $4.99 each I'd buy 20.

to the forums :) That depends on a few variables such as: Which store? Which location? If that's a very popular store in a busy area I'd get there EARLY. What you could do is search the BF 2004 archive forum for Dallas or Forth Worth and see how busy stores were last year?

Like Keith said you ain't seen nothing yet Wait until the BF ads are posted.The BF forum will be at least 20x busier.More prizes and contests to win.Scheduled GottaDeal.com text and voice chat with your fellow BF buddies(suggestion: buy a headset now) Our exclusive Black Friday Shopping List which you can print and bring with you.Black Friday store locator. ... and so much more!!!

It's tough to say, I'd say XBOX 360 or toys in the $50-$100 range.

Yep we're about 2 weeks away, possibly sooner

There is no guaranteed date but based on previous years probably in about 2 weeks. Please continue this discussion in the does anyone know when people start posting bf ads thread.

I just called 1-800-3-STAPLE gave them my zip code and SKU 619084 Supposedly there are 4 in stock for $79.94 - $50 easy rebate = $29.94 :)

Thanks will do. It's a shame this is the non-BT version but $29 AR is hot

That reminds me I need a helmet as well, any $80 - $100 recommendations?

OOS as well. I wonder if this is available at Staples B&M?

I usually prefer Eddie Bauer short sleeve polo shirts which aren't as thin but they're around $14.99 on sale

Thanks Lee! Does anyone have a Staples.com $20 off $100 coupon code to make this even sweeter?

Thanks Nate, have you ever ordered from Nashbar.com? I'm thinking about buying a pair of Pearl Izumi gloves http://www.nashbar.com/nashbar_photos/medium/PI-GG5.2.gif

It's an automatic discount, so the $29.99 price is after the $5 savings.

What's your closest major city?

Not that I'm aware of. I've never heard of a store doing this? What kind of gifts do they normally hand out?

Do you know what TRU's return policy is and how many days? It's better to be safe than sorry.

same here

Not really, I look at the 2003 and 2004 Black Friday lists and ask myself "I wonder ..."

Nope you're not invisible at all, I wish I had seen your post sooner I have a brand new Motorola HS820 which I haven't opened yet. I'll probably sell it. I'll probably buy the Plantronics 510 and give that a try, I hope I'm happy with it's comfort and performance.

Bluetooth is a standard so you should be able to mix brands without any major hassles although I do see your logic. My advice is to research, research and more research by reading reviews. Two of the best sources are HoFo and good 'ole Google searches. I searched Google for "HowardForums HBH-300" and found these two threads: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=496049 http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=492414 Reviews http://www.lordpercy.com/sony_ericsson_hbh-300.htm http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/review.php?reviewId=591 http://www.expansys.com/review.asp?code=114272 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00076Q2YA/ Official press release http://www.mobile-review.com/articles/2004/se-acs-1507-en.shtml I've done extensive research on the best bluetooth headset taking into consideration value, comfort and performance. So far I have read nothing but rave reviews for the Plantronics Voyager 510 which is about $15 cheaper from Amazon.com Here two helpful reviews which swayed my decision: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=659510 http://www.barjohn.com/Plantronics_V510.htm I hope that helps :) Ross

Nope. Even if I did I'd be half asleep and mumble "what?" 20 times before they gave up :)

So do I but I don't actively go out looking for new friends during BF.

I'd say anywhere from 6-8 hours. It really depends on the stores, lines, and most importantly traffic.
