I hate to disagree but Best Buy is facing stiff competion and does have many national competitors. See the article below from their 3rd quarter last year: Higher competition and lower consumer demand combined to bite into Best Buy's sales and earnings in the third quarter. For the quarter ended November 27, the electronics retailer yesterday reported earnings of $217 million versus $227 million a year ago, while sales trickled down 1 percent to $11.9 billion from $12 billion last year. Both numbers were lower than analysts had anticipated, according to Bloomberg. Sales and earnings both fell in Best Buy's third quarter. (Credit: Best Buy) Why the downturn? The quarter was hurt by weaker-than-expected sales of TVs, computers, and entertainment software as Best Buy faces increased competition from online retailers such as Amazon and rival stores such as Wal-Mart and Costo, all of which can offer lower prices. The one bright spot was in the mobile area where demand for smartphones andtablets (i.e, theiPad) helped somewhat to compensate for the poor results elsewhere.

Right now I cannot even get on Best Buy's website. Maybe time to switch from DSL to Cable...

Just ordered mine. No trip to RadioShack on BF!

South Tulsa

Has anyone seen this one yet?

Found a 67inch Samsung DLP for $1388 from Sixth Avenue Electronics. Being from OK, I have never heard of this store and my wife is leary of me ordering it. Anyone bought from them before? Thanks.

Tulsa, OK

I have been eyeing the 60 inch Mitsubishis. I have seen them as low as $1249. If I could get one below $1000 for this size, I think I may get it.

Do you think there will be any good buys on DLP this black friday? I have a 52 inch HD monitor projection TV from BF 4 years ago and it does well in my large living room, but has no HDMI input and thought a DLP might allow me to get a bigger screen without freaking out my wife on the cost vs Plasma or LCD.

When are you heading out?

Actually I meant to say it was 5:30am on Black Friday, not 5:30pm on Thanksgiving last year.

Drama Queen Lucy Have you been to the Tulsa Compusa store early in the past? My wife and I got there about 5:30 last year and there was about 100 or so. What time do you recommend since I too am trying for the laptop?

OTA

Here's a question for the group. Right now I have a projection a 52 inch HD monitor that is 1080i capable which I bought on BF in 2004. It has no HDMI connection, just component. Is there a DVD where upconversion would work, or do you have to have a HDMI connector? Also, should I spring $169 for a HD receiver for my monitor?
