Typically you'll find SIM card slots on tablets that support 3G/4G data service. The Samsung Galaxy Tabs do and some models of iPads, but other than those it's uncommon for a typical tablet to have that feature. Wi-fi is much more common.

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone! That's the reason why we do this Another update as we've been bombarded with huge ads as of late. A lot of items' details are still pending but fear not. We're still working hard to get things ready for the weekend. Also, usually every year we have requests for a detailed text listing of all the DVDs and Blu-ray titles pictured in the ads. I'm going to do this in the DVDs and Blu-ray charts this year. Therefore, if you're interested in the movies and TV seasons that are available for Black Friday, go check out the product charts at blackfridaycharts.com!

I knew this was such an awesome site, but so much that our awesomeness made the servers go all kablooey? Get well soon, GottaDeal!

HUGE update with all of the ad items that rained on us this week. Enjoy and see you at BigJim's webcast!

Be patient, folks. The storm of ads is on the horizon

I'm there!

Here's the latest just in time for the live webcast tonite with BigJimSlade... The first items for 2014 are in the charts! One TV and one tablet from the Goody's chain of stores! Now that we've got our first items I've implemented some new features for 2014. The ability to sort the columns any way you want by click/drag, and hiding columns with info you're not interested in. So, you want to print out a chart with the prices first and hide all the techie mumbo-jumbo that's taking up all that space? You got it! You can make your chart the way you want. Still might be a lil' buggy with certain browsers, but go give it a try and lemme know what'ca think.

Sadly, I won't be there on the Tuesday test casts (late work & school ) but I'll be around for the Saturday ones after

Thanks again to all that have agreed to help out this year! While we're waiting for the first ad to come in for a landing, it got me thinking about what can be done to improve the charts this year. Other than, well, more charts that is. So what new feature or addition to the product charts would you like to see this year to make them even more helpful? A way to choose what details (columns) you want displayed for each chart? A way to sort those columns any way you choose? A mobile friendly site? Chime in if you will!

I liked being able to call-in as well just to chat with ol' BigJim and help answer questions. And I'm sure everyone else liked lots of contests for BF t-shirts and goidies.

What, no predictions yet as to when the first ad will land?

Thanks to all who have contacted me thus far! We'll be starting very soon and we're still looking for a few more volunteers, so if you haven't already agreed to help out Brad with the site's ad work, let me know if you're interested in helping out with the charts.

It's that time of year again. Time for the... (wait for it)... 2014 GottaDeal.com Black Friday Product Charts! I'm now making the official call for volunteers for this year's charts. If you'd like to volunteer please send me a PM and I'll set you up. It's pretty simple. As each ad comes in you'll be responsible for logging in to a special website where you'll enter detailed information (item's description, price, store, type, resolution, etc) for all the items of a particular product. Some are fairly easy, others may require more research and effort. It all depends on how much time you're willing to put in. We have a lil' community of volunteers who all help each other out every year so you won't be alone. Plus I'll be looking into adding a possible incentive for all your help These charts have been extremely popular among all Black Friday shoppers every year, and I expect them to be even more so this year so I'll need lots of help putting them together. This year's product charts will still be located at blackfridaycharts.com. Last year's charts, for comparison, are located at blackfridaycharts.com/previous/2013. What are these so-called charts, you say? Have a look at a tenth (yes it's been that long!) anniversary message with their past history, how they came to be, all mixed in with a lil' of me: blackfridaycharts.com/MyStory.html Let the Black Friday madness begin!

Not this again Um... I mean... yay?

Seems like all the links that give Brad credit in the Deals section of the forums are broken. I don't plan on shopping anytime soon so I don't mind

Sunday. We knew thee well. Ye shall be missed. At least we're up and running again without too much trouble. Glad to hear tis place can take a licking and keep on ticking!

All charts are now updated with all ads for this week's Black Friday (or Thursday) festivities. Hope everyone stays safe and enjoys their shopping week

Jealous, are we?

All charts are now updated with all the latest ads as of today. On behalf of all of us volunteering our time to do these things I feel I should say... WHEW!

I got mine Thanks!

I wasn't able to set up a chart for streaming media players, but if you go to http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/ and search for Roku a few will come up.

Everything is now updated with the latest ads with the exception of laptops, which there are more than plenty of and will be updated in the next day or so. Thanks, Brad, for a wonderful avalanche of ads this week Sleep is so overrated, anyways! Now where'd I put my case of blue Monster energy drink?

Only if you're live in line at Best Buy

I said it was a blast from the past. My old bones weren't lyin', huh? Aww... shucks

With the landslide of big ads this week updates will be sporatic day by day, but expect everything to be completed by this weekend.
