  1. I was at my local Best Buy and I counted 34 sitting out on the floor.
  2. About 10 people in line at my local best buy. No tents though. They are going to freeZe and get wet with rain tonight! Sent from my iPhone using GottaDeal
  3. Education discount does not apply on iPods, iPhones or iPads. You can get a discount on computers. For a new iMac I think I can get about 100 bucks off. MonsterMom, actually I think the deals on a iMac are better at Best Buy on bf than the ed discount.
  4. The Walmart one is "cheaper" because it comes with a $50 GC. This one doesn't.
  5. Hrm, looks like the iPod touch is $188 plus a $50 GC. I think this is the best price yet.
  6. Well, this is a first! EDIT: Friday should be an 8 page ad, like normal, plus maybe more one pagers.
  7. One percentage off and one dollar off, usually. I've never had luck stacking any more.
  8. Let's keep the conversation in the main thread in the BF Forum. http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?239677-What-do-you-think-about-selling-tickets-for-Black-Friday-doorbusters
  9. Buy the iPad2 Smart Cover. http://www.apple.com/ipad/smart-cover/ It's the best one out there. It's worth the price. When you put the cover over the iPad, it turns it off, lift the cover, it turns it back on. The cover also folds back into a stand to prop it up on a table. Everyone at work that has an iPad (you should see some meetings I attend) has this cover, and has it propped up. If he's going to write on his iPad, someone at work recommended the notes App - it's like 5 bucks - but you must buy the stylus for it to work the best. It allows you to write on your ipad, then it will email you a pdf of what you wrote. Great for meetings.

    We don't know. Check out our BB Black Friday Online thread: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?239070-BestBuy.com-Black-Friday-Sale If we see it go on sale through their website, we'll post it on our tracker.
  11. I think for the size and the amount of optical zoom you get, it's in a great price range. http://www.digitalreview.ca/content/panasonic-Lumix-DMC-FH25-Review.shtml
  12. They just need to stick together and not let people cut in front of them, which they might, since adults might think "oh they're just kids."
  13. As your previous thread was closed... http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?239288-any-deals-on-Ipod-touch Please check this thread: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?237902-iPod-touch-where-is-the-best-place-to-get-on-one-BF&highlight=touch
  14. 6pm.com is a great place for shoes - it's the discount "outlet" for zappos. EDIT: Just checked, they don't have that style in that color though. That's the one drawback - it doesn't have everything, just what they can overstock.
  15. Please refer to this thread for the walmart online sale: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?239069-Walmart.com-Black-Friday-Sale
  16. Amazon no longer price adjusts. Post-Order Price Match Policy With the exception of TVs, we do not offer post-order price matching when an item's price drops after you buy it. Our prices regularly change, and the price you paid when your order shipped was the lowest price we were able to offer at the time. We consistently offer competitive prices on everything we carry because we know low prices are very important to our customers. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=468502
  17. I do want to say, if anyone is considering starting running or even serious walking: Last year, I picked Nike+ up at the recommendation of my sister. I used it to track my runs, since I needed something visual to help me figure out my progress, keep me on track, and keep me accountable. I was in horrible shape, and I could barely run a mile. After a year of consistent running, along with running a couple of 5ks and one 10k this year, I completed my first half marathon in October. It really has worked for me, along with just making sure I schedule time to run in my week, since I work a regular job, plus other activities (I don't have kids.) My favorite new habit is getting up early on Saturday morning for longish runs, with no half marathon training, I'm aiming for 4-5 miles each time at minimum. I love how technology has aided me. There are options if you have a smart phone and you don't want to get the Nike+ sensor or buy the Nike+ GPS app - there are many free apps, such as runkeeper that do the same thing, they just don't have the same (large, crazy Nike people) community behind them.
  18. Acer aren't exactly the best built laptops with the best built parts - you kinda get what you pay for. Since this thread is from last year, I'm going to close it.
  19. I'm getting two answers on google, which is driving me crazy! A bunch of people complaining (from a year ago however) that they needed both the sensor and the receiver. However, this site says you don't need either: http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-1/pid-376882/pgid-385682 As does this: http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/features.html#fitness Check if your Nano has the Nike+ in there (I think it's under fitness) and give it a test run or walk (on a treadmill or track so that you know your distance is accurate) and see how the numbers come up. If you are a runner, I'd get the sensor, because it'd be more accurate. If you are a walker, and using the Nano to count steps, then it seems pretty accurate. Nope! You don't need Nike+ shoes! Although Nike would like you to believe this :-D I use this pouch: http://www.amazon.com/Marware-Sportsuit-Sensor-Sport-Black/dp/B000ID6DTG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321671504&sr=8-1 On my previous pair of shoes, I was actually able to wedge the sensor in my shoelaces, and it didn't move. My current pair of shoes doesn't have the laces as close, so I had to use the pouch. Try taking a test walk with the sensor in your shoelaces first though - I nearly lost my sensor the first day I walked in my current shoes. Just make sure the sensor is oriented in the correct direction when you have it on your laces, and put it towards the front of your shoes.
  20. No problem. And if he's used to the armband, then the armband shouldn't be a problem! I've had mine for over a year. I haven't run out of battery yet. If he will wear the shoes when he's not running, he might want to take the sensor out so it doesn't "eat" up battery. I'm determined to keep mine until the battery dies. It allegedly has a range of 1000 miles but I've heard stories of it being used up faster. You also have another option, since you are getting him an iPhone - the Nike+ GPS app. I think it's 1.99 or 2.99 and it does NOT require the sensor. It will figure out distance based on GPS and then figure out splits from there. If you are running on a treadmill I think you manually punch in the distance. I'm too cheap to pay for the app. Maybe when my sensor dies. The Nike+ app comes pre-installed on the iPhone.
  21. Thanks for sharing!
  22. I have the nike+ sensor. 1. Does your son have an iPod Nano, iPod touch or iPhone? These are the only apple products the sensor talks to. 1a. If he only has the Nano, make sure you get the Nano adapter! 2. Yes, the sensor really does work. He may need to calibrate it first - I took my sensor first to a treadmill, and then when I got an iPhone, I calibrated it a second time on a track to make sure my distances were absolutely spot on. At first it was adding an extra 0.60 of a mile before calibration, after I'm maybe off by .03 of a mile. HOWEVER: I do not have the Nike shoes (I don't like Nike running shoes, my personal preference.) My sensor is clipped to the front of my shoes on my laces, but it should work perfectly with the Nike+ shoes. I would make it a separate gift! I really like it - it really helps me to track my runs, see my times (especially when I'm running on the streets), and my progress. The only drawback is that he always has to carry his iphone/ipod with him when he runs, unless you get the nike wristband. (http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikeplus/en_EMEA/sportband) I usually like to take my phone so I can listen to music while I run, but some people don't like having to hold things (I have a running fanny pack.) You get cool graphs like this: http://x4e.xanga.com/2c8e1b0748335278940976/b222203370.jpg
  23. BF is ok for camera deals. I think if you just follow cameras year round, you can find a decent price on something you like, and not have to compromise on say, optical zoom or other features. The Sony one sounds like it'll be fine for your needs.
  24. I'd get the Canon Elph 300. IF you can handle the size - it's really small, and for some people, the size is nice, but it's not easy to hold when taking pictures. I'd go to the store and hold both cameras and see which one feels better for you. Just learn how to use your camera effectively, and with any camera, you can get great pics.
  25. I have had the same laser printer for I'd say... seven years and it has been spectacular. It kinda sucked when I got Windows 7 that HP doesn't make a driver for it anymore, trying to force me to upgrade, but HA I just downloaded the Vista driver and I'll wait the five seconds before the printing gets going. I think I've been through three toner cartridges in seven years. Spectacular. I don't miss printing in color AT ALL.
