I will re-iterate my previous words...

Another update: All charts have been updated to the latest ads. We've already seen some impressive deals on goodies, and we haven't even got the BIG ads in yet! Bring it on! See y'all at the webcast tonite.

Saw that myself. Guess it all depends on how ya look at it, but it can be interpreted as 12:00am Thanksgiving morning. I'm wondering if they'll correct that before the 'official' ad release.

Black Friday at Fry's is crazy indeed. But that's the fun of it all, isn't it ? Try to shop there closer to Christmas. 50+ check-out cashiers and ya gotta wait in a line that wraps all the way around the inside of the building .

Gotta love a good 'ol fashion double-feature!

And don't forget the two we have here in Arizona near me!

I know Fry's Electronics is pretty regional to the southwest, but I was wondering if anyone else has any plans to go check them out this year. Usually they have some of the best deals on hot eletronics items for BF. Anyone have some juicy inside info on what's gonna be offered this year? In fact, have we ever gotten the BF ad for Fry's Electronics early?

Only memory I have is sleeping in. Didn't do any shopping last BF.

Nah. I gave up a while back. Way too much effort to snag one and I'm not willing to pay out the wazoo for it, either. I got myself a new laptop instead .

Not too surprised. If ya didn't have your index finger ready to click 'BUY' the moment they released 'em you're outta luck. Even if ya did it was probably a lucky shot to get in while their server was bombarded. Anyone lucky enough to land confirmation on one?

Congrats to all the winners! Wear it with honor on BF!

Just to let everyone know, the 'Portable 7" LCD TV with DVD Player' in CVS Pharmacy's ad does come with an analog antenna. But remember, since over air stations went all digital a few years back it won't pick up anything at all. Unless ya enjoy the 'Snow' channel . Basically it's just a portable DVD player. And from the reviews I've read it's not a great one at that, either .

Don't forget it's a 'Double Webcast', starring 'BigJim' with the weekly BF update for the first two hours and 'jaymacfla' with the much anticipated 'Toy Webcast' for the two hours after.

Yeah, that thing comes with an analog antenna however since over air stations went digital it doesn't pick up anything at all anymore . And no place for a separate digital receiver antenna. I think what they said in the ad 'Portable 7" LCD TV with DVD Player' was just a really snazzy way of saying 'Portable DVD Player'.

Yet another chance to snag an HP Topuchpad. Get your mouse-clicking fingers ready at 2:30pm eastern time: Thread: HP 32 GB Touchpad Bundle $280 11/4 at 2:30 ET @ Tigerdirect.com Just got the email myself a moment ago. $279.99 for the 32GB touchpad, case, bluetooth speakers, stand, and a 16GB flash drive. Mediocre deal, but still a chance to snag a touchpad.

From the reviews I've seen, that particular 13" Craig model shown has a TV tuner and works pretty good. But remember, it says 'model may vary' so there may be no telling what'cha get.

Mine will probably start early thanksgiving morning at CVS Pharmacy. Now that the ad is out I might consider the TV, tablet, and a few other things they have left after the doors officially open. It's the only place nearby that doesn't require a large amount of travel.

I think I speak for all of us when I say... Woo-hoo!

Sounds great! I know a number of people have been waitin' for this. I'll be stickin' around for both BigJim's and your webcasts (even though I only know a lil' about video games) so if ya need my help in any way, lemme know. :)

FYI: The new 2011 Comparison Charts will me makin' their long awaited debut tonite. Be there!

UPDATE! ---------> Now that we have the first few ads with hot electronics goodies I've changed a few links around. The old charts will now be found here: http://blackfriday.thestationchief.com/2010. The 2011 charts will still be at the chart's main site: http://blackfriday.thestationchief.com. My incorrigible team and I have been hard at work with all the hot electronics items from the first batch of ads that've come in: BJ's Warehouse, Marine Corps Exchange, and the rumored list of Radio Shack items. The 2011 charts will be makin' their debut tonite at the Black Friday Webcast. That is all.

And don't forget the contests for those unfortunate souls who don't have a t-shirt yet! Got some dings and buzzer sound fx for the contests? Or how about a theme song?

I second this!

Just do the printer friendly chart then copy/paste that into your fav editor. Maybe if you ask nicely . Been considering a 'Computer Accessories' chart that would include monitors.

Count me in for the Gottadeal rummage sale after all this BF madness is done. I've got a few of the little things on that list but ya can never have too much advertising .
