  2. My brother in law told me that they are going to be discontinuing the PSP does anyone know if that is true before I go and buy one.

    From Gamepro.com:

    As a follow-up to last week's story, Target has officially confirmed to GamePro that is has "discontinued" its UMD movie selection.

     

     

    The UMD: R.I.P. at Target

    A member of Target's "Guest Relations" team has confirmed to GamePro that the retail giant no longer carries UMD movies for the PSP.

     

    "[uMD movies] have been discontinued and aren't available at any of our stores," the e-mail reads. This comes as final proof that the company has discontinued its UMD movie selection in its brick and mortar stores, though the company still lists a sizable selection on its web site. It's unknown if the company will stop selling UMD movies online, as well.

     

    In a story last week, GamePro reported that a customer service representative indicated that UMDs were no longer for sale at Targets nationwide. This latest e-mail officially confirms the news.

     

    As the seasons pass and new models... become available, we'll discontinue some older merchandise. That's how we keep our shelves stocked with the unique, up-to-date merchandise you've come to expect from Target."

     

    -- customer service e-mail from Target

    Sony's portable UMD movie format has struggled for acceptance since the PSP's release in early 2005. A recent Reuters story suggested that Wal-mart also considered pulling all UMDs from store shelves. In the Reuters piece, one unnamed movie executive says that UMD situation is "awful," and that "[uMD movie] sales are near zilch." The studio exec then twists the knife, saying "It's another Sony bomb -- like Blu-ray."

     

    Two months ago, the NPD Group, a national sales-tracking service, weighed in with a grim assessment of the UMD's future. The report concluded that, if studios continue to drop support, "the outlook for the UMD format is bleak."

     

    They've also discontinued the Extended battery life pack:

    According to SCEA's Al de Leon, the extended battery life kit for PSP is discontinued. The product nearly doubled the battery life on PSP-2000 systems, but came at a slight aesthetic price: a larger battery cover would be installed, creating a bulge in the system. However, with battery life as impressive as 12 hours or more, we were absolutely satisfied with the peripheral.

     

    "Yes, we are discontinuing this product as we look for other opportunities to service the consumer," notes de Leon. Hopefully, we'll see something else that can augment the PSP's battery life.

  3. I remember the goodie bags, one year Target had a really good goodie bag and we made a trip there just for the bags. Thanks for starting this post I had forgotten all about that lol I'm going to have to ask my mom and she if see remembers? lol

    I remember Target giving out goodie bags (free ornaments, coupons, etc.) as well. I think Raggedy Ann and Andy were the ornaments. This was the late `90's I believe. Black Friday was still crazy, but not like it is now.

  4. Could someone recommend a website that has good prices for Big & Tall mens clothes.

     

    Thx

    Kingsizedirect.com and casualmalexl.com both have a good selection of Big and Tall men's clothing. Each has their own sale each month or so. I have purchased from both, but use the King Size catalog more.

  5. I know all of you get excited about the 4:00 AM opening, but the people inside who are working are not. we don't get to enjoy are Thanksgiving day holiday with our family. We have to eat our dinner early, send everyone home early, or leave the family gathering early and be in bed by 8:00, to be able to get up around 1:00 to get ready for work. All the shopping can be done at normal hours with the same merchandise, and people would't be in a mad rush to get in and out so they can hit every store at opening time before the sun rises. Think about it! We have families too.

    It is sad that people don't get to spend time at home with their families during

    the day after Thanksgiving. But if the stores would just open at normal times that

    could happen, but as an incentive for the store to make a lot of money they open

    as long as they can - supply and demand. Some employee of JCP should voice their

    displeasure with it, maybe if more people did that they would change it.

     

    There were many years where my mother had to work on Thanksgiving with the

    hospital. Christmases as well. We just have to adjust our happy time.

     

    Sorry again that you'll be stuck at work. I feel bad for most retail people that day

    and weekend. So Many Customers!!!:eyepoppin

  6. They had some good deals last year, but the store in Douglasville, GA was a bit nuts the way they handled the sales. I bought a Portable DVD player, you went in, had to get a sheet from one guy, pay for it, then go back to the original place to get the item. While on line paying for the item, it looked like they started handing them out before they had to pay for them. They had some good sales, but I'd hope they would have a better plan than they did last year.
  7. Brad and Ross, Thanks so much for the best Black Friday site and one of the best websites I've ever seen. I'm a student without a lot of cash to spend for Christmas, and your site has helped me decide where I am going to go first on Fri. the 24th. I love seeing the ads early. Great job to all who work on the site. --- John
