In 2012, I did almost 100% of my BF shopping on-line. Last year, it was 100%, and I missed almost nothing I was interested in.

elena_398; Yeah, I did the exact same thing. Having to wait a little was STILL worth not leaving my house for Black Friday.

Maybe some listening pleasure will help: http://grooveshark.com/playlist/Geena+s+Mega+Holiday+Playlist/41406115

Someone please refresh my memory: How does waitlisting work? Do they email me, or...?

Dammit, I wish the web site would match their in-store deal of $13.99 for the Man of Steel Blu-Ray. Come on, youse guys!

Man! The online experience has been so great this year. Unless no one matches that $13.99 for the Man of Steel Blu-Ray at Kmart (and if I'm really dying to have it right now), I don't even have to leave my house ONCE.

Dudes, come tomorrow morning, they are straight-up matching all the $6 Blu-Rays I was gonna go get at Target tomorrow night. VERY happy to be saved the trip.

O frabjous day! The 2TB external hard drive listed in the sale paper is now available on their web site, meaning I can avoid going there completely (or, at least, pick up my order after all the craziness has abated)!

You're definitely gonna want need it to be Bluetooth. I would just go through Amazon's selection, and see what combination of reviews and price you can find (if you go strictly by price, you GREATLY increas the odds of buying something awful). Here's a link to the one I bought (I didn't realize how-super-portable it was until it arrived): http://amzn.com/B00EDYX51A

We actually bought too many, and are gifting the extra one, so I fully endorse this strategy.

Unless you're being offered the Deal of the Century, a Nook is a waste of your time, energy and money.

Reminder: Newegg's BF sale is now officially on; and this deal is still ongoing.

Depends. If the OS is above Android 4.0, the answer is "no." That's because the Android app relies on Flash, which Google has stopped supporting in Android. However, I have NO DOUBT there's gonna be a fix, because: a. The iOS version of the Amazon Instant Video app has always worked without Flash, so it's obviously technically feasible; and b. Amazon's not about to just walk away from video sales. They already loosened the restriction that prevented iOS users from streaming the AIV app to their Apple TVs (via AirPlay), so they're clearly not inflexible on these things. allshoppedout, how many times do I gotta post this link? http://tech.woot.com/offers/asus-10-1-32gb-tablet-with-keyboard-10?utm_campaign=Commission+Junction+-+10860750&utm_source=Commission+Junction+Publisher+-+1412508&utm_medium=affiliate+-+Product+Catalog BTDubs, today's the last day, so quit'cher lollygaggin'.

The in-store BF ad is now up on Walmart's web site, and it STILL shows this as being The Wolverine. With the movie not actually released until next week, I'm gonna bring a copy of the ad to the service desk and try to get a preorder. Oh, and on closer inspection, the art shown IS for the Blu-Ray; that title just lacks the blue band across the top

I am normally reticent about refurb electronics, but ASUS has an excellent track record; my desktop is an ASUS refurb, and it's been humming along with no problems for 3+ years now.

Last season's finale of The Venture Brothers heavily featured a Teddy Ruxpin running joke.

I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but http://tech.woot.com/offers/asus-10-1-32gb-tablet-with-keyboard-10?utm_campaign=Commission+Junction+-+10860750&utm_source=Commission+Junction+Publisher+-+1412508&utm_medium=affiliate+-+Product+Catalog

Huh. Now you've got me curious to learn what tablets (if any) play .mkvs straight out of the box.

I'm sure the Sonos is nice and all (and at that price, it better be); but, nothing about what I'm seeing really says "home theatre."

The Tenergy 2600mAh charger is gonna be $10 on BF at Tiger Direct (in-store only, but maybe that'll change).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andropenoffice&hl=en I've used Open Office on desktops and laptops for years. While there are minor differences in functionality, the important thing is that you can save your work in MS-compatible formats. I haven't looked for an app on my iPhone yet; I'll have to get back to you on that.

I'm sorry, tinkrbel, but that is the dictionary definition of solipsism. Assuming that your own displeasure with how Amazon is rolling deals out this year somehow translates to a trend in decreased sales is completely without merit. I, for one (and I don't purport to speak for anyone else), will do as I've always done: be on the lookout, and if a deal comes along that I want, I'll try to buy it.

Now I'm kinda glad so many other stores are doing Thanksgiving day deals; this means I might be able to make the 45-minute drive up to TD to snag some of these deals on Friday.

Just a reminder: You DO NOT need to use a Surface (or any Windows tablet, for that matter) to be able to work with Office-compatible documents. I'm not against any of those things, but you can find Android apps that do what you need (my ASUS tablet even has a pre-loaded office suite); there's no need to limit yourself.
