The extra RAM and storage space is nice, though the V series processor is a weak single core chip like the Celeron. A pretty good deal if you ask me, Wal-Mart just got owned.

Did not get it in the Saturday newspaper here (we get the Sunday ads on Saturday). I did see several ads on TV for it, however.

There are a lot of exclusions which is lame... laptops, netbooks, iPods, game systems, and some tv's and major appliances.

Netbooks and laptops are definitely 2 different things in the Best Buy world. There is no chance unless the ad specifically said laptops and netbooks, which it did not. If I hear different, I'll let you know, but I'm positive this deal is for their $700 to $829 Samsung laptops that are carried in-store.

The emachines in the ad is just a Gateway with a different label slapped on it. It looks identical to the Gateway NV series, which are highly rated because of their good performance at a low price. At this price, you can't lose and if you are worried about it breaking on you after the warranty expires, get a service plan at the time of purchase, Wal-Mart definitely will have extended service plans available and you will still get an excellent deal on a computer. Typically laptops quit working due to accidental handling, not because of the parts under the hood.

Go back a page, Brad posted the link to the scan.

Just because someone will ask, the Magnavox Wifi Blu-Ray player does indeed do Netflix. Wal-Mart owns Vudu, so they are only advertising the Vudu and Facebook/Picasa apps.

This ad is insane, Wal-Mart definitely isn't planning on making a dime on Black Friday again this year. Wow, what an ad!

I don't personally own it, but have researched and played with it at Best Buy many times. Personally I think Google TV is definitely a vision of the future of television and Internet merging together, but there is a lot of room for growth. It is obvious Google TV was rushed for the holidays, the UI is still a bit bland, the browser isn't very optimized for viewing on a television, and there are still very few apps out there and no network TV support. When Google opens the source and allows developers to get in and build their own Google TV apps, I think Google TV will become as big as Android for cell phones. If you have Dish or Directv, I think that makes the Google TV more valuable, but for people like me without cable or satellite, the box is somewhat useless at this point until I can get more content the legal way. Google is great at updating their software, so I expect some big update early next year.

It's fast enough to do one thing at once, but don't even try to multitask and run too many programs at once. It can easily handle web surfing and facebook. I know people who can play WoW on a netbook, so it can handle basic games and WoW, but not any modern graphical games.

If you have to have Blu-Ray it is an ok deal, but this week Best Buy has a similar specced machine without the Blu from Toshiba for $449. The Toshiba uses the newer and faster i3 processor. The Sony is using the older Pentium DC, so efficiency will be a concern (battery life and heat). Again, if you want a portable blu-ray player get it, otherwise look for better deal with similar specs. The Ogio bag is nice, however, so maybe if you want the full package it may be worth it.

i want to say it uses the newer 125 series of ink for the NX series.

Just to remind everyone, Best Buy had a lot of early Black Friday deals last year that were the same price or better then the BF ad that came out like a week ahead of time. They had a "Black Friday NOW" ad. This won't be everything they got, I can assure you, especially for computers and tv's.

I like: $60 Toshiba Blu-Ray player Compaq Netbook, although battery life is weak Nook doorbuster deal Video Game system packages Samsung Laptop Sale Major Appliance deals 1 Penny Fascinate or Incredible Don't like: All other laptop deals suck No generic TV's for cheap besides 24" Overall good ad, but surely some Dynex or Insignia TV's will match or beat Wal-Mart and Target's ad, right? Laptop deals are atrocious.

These are some pretty lame deals, Best Buy already has an HP laptop for $399, and the only difference wit this one is a slight bump in processor speed. Other deals were nothing special as well, Insignia camera, noooo thank you.
