  1. Ok first of all I heard that the BF Best Buy ad was online

    now so I went to BB.com to see it, put my zip code in and

    it only had this weeks flyer. I put in a FL. zip and it had

    the BF flyer! What does this mean? I asked my store like

    a week ago and they said they had BF so I shouldn't be

    worried right?! Second, like I said I'm looking to buy the

    $699 HP Computer and it is not a Door Buster, so do I need

    to camp out for that? Should I scope it out the night before?

    If I can waltz in at like 9 or 10 and get it thats what I'm

    going to do!

  2. My son, 6, has the DS and he LOVES it! The games are

    more for that age, the PSP is for more adult games. Yes

    you can us GBA games on the DS. I have a DS lite and I

    like it even better. It's smaller and has 4 levels of brite

    for the screens. I think the DS lite will stay around $130

    or $150 for bundles, but if you want even cheaper you can

    get the original DS for I'm sure under $100 on BF. Make

    sure that they don't have there heart set on a PSP and

    you get them a DS, that might make them ungratful and

    make you plain mad. If they don't care which one than

    definatly get the DS or DS lite!

  3. The Core 2 Duo processors are top of the line. Seems like a great deal with a 17" LCD monitor, and from the sound/looks of it it should have a DVD burner and XP Media Center Edition for the O.S. witrh that free upgrade to Vista. It'd be a whole different world from older celerons and ... Windows ME?! :eek: Yikes!

    Does that computer have a free upgrade of

    Vista? If it does I think that would seal the

    deal for that computer! I figure this time we

    would spend the money on a really good

    computer so it will last longer than the cheap

    ones! The computer I have right now was

    only good for about a year than it turned to

    crap! Thanks guys!

  4. So what are the best processors? I always

    believed that Pentiums were that best, I

    was hoping for some Pentium 4s to be on BF

    since the Core Duo came out. Also someone

    told my husband at work that it wouldn't be

    worth getting a new computer unless it had

    Windows Vista in it, right now I have Win ME

    I think Win XP would be fine! Anyone agree or

    disagree?

  5. Looks like this is the $189.97 doorbuster desktop for BB. This one matches the ad rather well:

     

    eMachines 352 Desktop with 15" LCD Monitor, Printer, Cable & Surge Protector

    I bet that's it! I think I'll keep looking, not exactly what I want.

    I went to BB tonight to find out about the one for $220 and he

    said thay had one like and hour away and it was the display

    and was $300 and something. Guess I'll have to keep searching!!!

     

    Anyone know about the other desktops, like the one for $399

    and $699?

  6. My son has the VSmile Pocket and the regular Leapster,

    he and I both prefur the Leapster. The graphics are better

    and they have games where you can use the stylus like

    a pen and draw. I also think the Leapster games are more

    educational. Which ever one you deside on definatly get

    the rechargeble battery pack! They can go though 4 AA

    batteries in 90 miles!:)

  7. I've seen this on TV, they have national tornaments

    and everything. I think it would be worth the $20 if

    they really want to get into it. Maybe you can buy

    some plain plastic cups now to make sure they really

    want it and if they still do, I'd spend the $20!

  8. Though this was cute!

    Here is the link for the whole article:

    http://www.punny.org/money/five-ways-to-die-this-black-friday/

     

    I almost died three years ago on the day after Thanksgiving. Well, “almost died” may be a stretch. We’ll just say I feared for my life.

     

    Was it a bad case of turkey poisoning? After-holiday blues? Nope, just a good old-fashioned case of going to Wal-Mart on a Black Friday.

     

    If you’ve never been to Wal-Mart on a Black Friday (you know, that magical day of shopping deals right after Thanksgiving), here’s what you’ll find:

     

    * Incredible bargains.

    * Amazing deals.

    * Sales events of the year!

    * A mob of absolutely freakin’ insane sub-human creatures.

     

    black friday, all hope abandon ye who enter here

     

    I’m still too traumatized to fully recount the experience, but let’s just say I won’t be going back to Wal-Mart on a Black Friday ever again. In fact, I won’t even leave the house that day.

     

    Of course, nothing should stop you from venturing out on Black Friday to save yourself a few bucks… except maybe your sense of self-preservation. But if you don’t mind a little trip to the afterlife to snag that bargain, here are a few ways you can make sure you don’t make it to Saturday, November 25th.

     

    * Check out the ads early. Black Friday advertisements are already starting to show up on the internet. The best source for scans of store flyers is GottaDeal.com. Start filling your shopping list with one amazing deal after another! Electronics, clothes, furniture, toys–all at rock-bottom prices! So… many… deals… Oops, you just died of a heart attack from all that excitement.

    * Eat a good meal ahead of time. You just downed six pounds of turkey, three boxes of stuffing, and two cans of cranberry sauce, so you should have plenty of energy, right? Wrong! You’re gonna be doing a lot of running, maybe some jumping, and you might even need to throw a punch or two to secure that Tickle Me Elmo. So if your caloric intake on Thanksgiving was anything less that 20,000, then congratulations–you just died of lethargy. Or you simply passed out and hungry shoppers ate you while you slept.

    * Get in line at 2am. If you want to make sure that those Free After Rebate goodies fall into your hands, you’ll need to get up pretty early in the morning. Just keep in mind that temperatures start getting chilly in late November, especially overnight. Wait, you did forget, and now you died of hypothermia.

    * Push your way to the front. You pull onto the parking lot at 5:50am thinking you have a chance at that $100 Invisible Walking iPod, but you see 7,000 people already in line. So you drive home, right? No, that would be lame. Instead, you wait ten minutes until the doors open and charge head first into the stampeding crowd. You push and shove and bite and… wait, you didn’t just bite that 400-pound lady who’s gotta have her $100 Dell computer, did you? Sorry, you just died of angry large woman.

    * Take what you can get. You’re finally in the store, but you can’t find those darn $12 DVD players. But that’s okay, there are other deals to be had. You’ll just have to settle for the $20 weight set, $50 color television, and $99 stereo system. Unfortunately you forgot to get a cart, and you died of a herniated everything trying to carry all that stuff to the register.

     

     

    And should you manage to survive the horrors you witness this Black Friday, don’t fret because the bird flu, nuclear war, or junk food will finish the job soon enough.

  9. Top Secret was part of the first batch. They didn't want people to know what Elmo can do.

    Warning is the follow up shipment. Under the flap it shows what Elmo can do.

    Do you think there will be any difference for us

    risk-takers that bought a bunch and want to sell

    them?

  10. Melmo....That is so cute!!:)

    My 21 month old says - Emo! Does anyone know

    if there is a difference between the TMX that has

    TOP SECRET on it and the one that says WARNING?

    They were making a point on eBay to tell you which

    one they have for sale.

  11. How long do you think that you will be out on BF? How far away from wherever you're going is your house? I'd probably leave them with the 13 yo also. You know your kids best and whether or not the 13 yo is capable of babysitting for a little while. Just be sure to have your cellphone handy so you won't miss a call, have breakfast already set out for them, and I agree with keeping the little ones up late the night before. Maybe you could tell a neighbor that you trust really well that you will be out that morning so they could check up on them if needed.

    I agree. If you feel that your 13 is reponsible to babysit your kids

    and you do leave your kids with them, why would you even consider

    bringing them with you?! If you leave your kids with your 13 year old

    than why would this be any different? Me personaly, I have a 6 year

    old boy and a 21 month old girl and I would not even consider bringing

    them with me. I would rather stay home.
