I'll warn you now, Windows 8 requires a good processor (dual core at the very very very least) and at least 4gb ram imo. In my opinion, Windows 8 on most cheap black Friday Laptops is going to be a disaster within 6 months.

Very Cool. Did they release what time everything was going to be last year? I thought the whole point on the lightening rounds was for it to be a little bit of a surprise?
Not that I'm complaining, I just really do not remember this at all last year.
Thank you

mme/deelite, those are good prices...
Roku 2 XD Wireless Digital Media Player $59.99
Roku 2 XS Wireless Digital Media Player $79.99
Roku HD Streaming Player $39.99
I have a few Rokus and prefer them to streaming BD players simply because they are better supported. New channels are coming onboard all the time and third parties are also developing for them. Should you care about that? Maybe. If you are simply looking for a Netflix, Amazon, or Vudu player, you probably do not care. If you are looking for more, you should.
My favorite deal for a Roku is the Playon promotion that buys you a lifetime subscription to Playon plus a Roku LT for $70. Playon adds a lot of channels to the Roku. Plus, this is shipped to you -- no lines or risk of out of stock.
What is the difference between the XD and XS?
I"m thinking about getting the standard $40 one. Not sure if it will work with my internet. I can barley stream Netflix on the XBOX because I'm lucky to get 90 kilobytes a second down.

Will any details about this package deal become available? Like USB 2.0 or 3.0? HDMI ready? Anything? I'm looking at either getting this or possibly the Lenovo H430-57311430 Desktop PC from Staples for $449 and buying the $80 Dell Monitor from Dell.
The Computer deals really aren't that great this year sadly.

So are regular people who aren't Silver screwed when it comes to buying stuff on Thursday online?
-
Amazon usually matches the prices for a lot of DVD's on Thursday and Friday. I'm hoping to pick up The Walking Dead Season 1 for around $10-$12 on one of those days.
-
I'm sure it will be back up shortly

I love the deals and the fact that I can do it all on my couch.

I am gambling on this. Never bought Pre Owned game from Best Buy. 4 games for 30 bucks. Hopefully i don't get burned by them.
Not my favorite company to deal with.
Free Shipping as well on this.

I was able to order wwe 12 online and it let me get it shipped to my house 5 min ago. Thanks guys.
-
Can not believe it is still broke. Been like this for about an hour now
-
There checkout process is still broken. No clue if there going to relist items or what. A few people are having success but not many according to there forums. Hope it gets resolved soon.
-
yeah i missed out on some lightning deals. Won't let me check out. There loss. Hopefully they fix it later.
-
\i clicked on the $199 40" TV AS SOON as it popped onscreen and BAM yeah it went to checking deal to sold out!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTH like they had 3 of them to sell or what?!
Same thing here. Sounds like the Kindel fiasco from last year.
Oh well, wasn't meant to be for me to buy a tv this year. Screwed up a lot on black Friday items this year.
-
I find it kinda messed up of Best Buy if they are holding items back and releasing a couple here and a couple there.
I would imagine it is people cancelling orders.

I will never set foot in a Best Buy again.
-
I found it. Its a random comment on facebook. I'll set my alarm for 8. If I miss this damn sale I will never buy a thing again. Terrible Company
-
Best buy just posted a comment: "The sale will post later this morning - Keep an eye on your Best Buy Facebook and/or Twitter feed for the announcement!"
Where at?

This is why I hate buying stuff from Best Buy. Hate that corporation so much.

I have to be honest. My first Toshiba was OK except for the fact that I literally went through battery chargers 1 per month (cheap ebay ones). A lot of that was the user lol. That was back in 2005. I bought another in 2009 (which I am currently using today). It has been ok. Vista was absolutely terrible on it for some reason. I literally had to reformat it once a month for 4 months until I got the windows 7 upgrade disc. For some reason it would just lock up and not work cause Vista was just bad. I tried taking it back to Best Buy multiple times and they would not refund my money or exchange it cause I could not duplicate the problem in front of them (the main reason why I hate buying anything from that terrible corporation). I haven't had a problem since, well, until about 3 months ago. Some of my keys don't work anymore. I imagine the motherboard is slowly going out. I have to use a usb keyboard now. I will admit, this computer has taken a beating, but keeps on ticking. It is pretty much my deciding factor in getting another.
I plan on buying another Toshiba from staples on Black Friday. I'm going to hope that it doesn't mess up like it did with Vista.
