Most Target's do it on Monday's.

I bought the Plasma and absolutely love it! It looks great!!!

I bought the 42" Emerson Plasma on BF and love it! I was planning on buying the extended warranty, but when I was at checkout they said it was $79 for a 2 year extended warranty. I didn't buy it because they said I could add it later and I thought I remembered people saying it was a lot cheaper than that. I see on Walmarts website that they sell the extended warranties, but I'm not sure how it works. Can I just purchase the 3 yr warranty on walmart.com and add it to my TV? How is this done. They have a 3 yr for sale online for only $44. I just want to make sure I'm doing this right before I do it.

I just called my Walmart and they said that they are aware that many are opening at Midnight, but they are not opening until 5:00. She said they are going to be letting in 20-25 people at a time. So I guess it'll be waiting outside again for me! This could be a huge advantage if I can get in on the first group, and get to my TV quickly, then move on to smaller things like DVDs. This is Simi Valley, CA.

Do you know the specs?

My Walmart is not 24 hours. They said they will open up at 5, but I don't see how having the separate lines this year helps at all if the sale starts at 5 and they open the doors @ 5. Won't it just be a mad rush to get to the lines!?!

Emerson doesn't make 42" Tv's or Plasma TV's. Here is the only thing I've been able to find that even has an idea or opinion on this TV, who knows if this guy has a clue, but at least he's trying to figure it out. Anyone have any thoughts on what this is actually is? I really wanted a 42" Plasma this year for under $500 and this seems to be my only option...but this TV makes me a little nervous. I can't imagine Funai, the company that makes Emerson, making a new TV just for Walmart's BF sale. It's got to be made by someone else...the question is, who?

HDMI cables are what you use to hook up a blu ray player or hd tv. You could buy it ahead of time if you want so that it's ready to hook up when you get the tv. Monoprice.com is a good place to get them online. They are way more when you buy them in store.

Has anyone been able to find any info on the 42" Emerson plasma that Walmart has in their ad? I can't even find a Plasma made by Emerson.

There are usually a lot of Big TV's on sale during the 2 weeks before the Super Bowl, but after that they go up a little.

I think the way they are doing things is a bummer for people that want more than one thing. But from their standpoint, it's the best thing. They will get tons of people in the doors by having a great ad, they (hopefully) will avoid the chaos, and they will still completely sell out of everything that is in high demand. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if they actually do more sales because people that brought money for 2 or 3 doorbusters will only get 1, and will have the extra money burning a whole in their pocket. It stinks for us, but is good for them.

I second this. But I would not go to Target, Walmart or Costco or a similar retailer to do your comparisons. They don't usually worry about calibrating the sets, many of them just plug em in and go, meaning the best TV may not look as good as one next to it that's not as good. I would go to a high end TV store and do comparisons to decide what kind you like best. That way you'll get a better feel for what they look like when they are set up correctly. I don't know how many times I've been to Walmart and seen an amazing TV getting bashed by customers as they look because it's a little blurry, when it's obviously not set up correctly.

I too prefer Plasma over LCD by far. The black level is WAY better on a Plasma and I just like the look of them much better. The biggest drawback for me is the power they take up, but I'll put up with that for a TV that I like better. I currently have a 50" in the living room and am planning on getting the 42" plasma at Walmart on BF...unless Amazon has a equal deal before that. There are other things I'd like to get on BF if I don't have to be standing in the line.

ditto...cmon amazon! beat those Walmart prices that "aren't out yet"

The wait is now down to just Walmart for me!!! Cmon Wally...let's get this thing out there so I can start making a game plan!
