Hey, Just a question, but it looks like the prices of Blu Ray movies are slightly higher online than they are in the ad. AM I missing something? So example, Godzilla: King of the Monsters is advertised at $5.96 in the ad for BR, but it $8.95 for it online. And I'm pretty sure it wasn't the 4K version. Am I crazy? Don't answer that. Am I seeing this right? Dave

Any chance someone will run a deal on the Apple Superdrive? We have a mac mini.

Hi, Remember when Amazon had those backdoor sales where you could get game systems like for $100? Are they doing anything like that this year? Dave

I can't believe that I heard radio ads before someone posted this ad. I still have no idea what their salkes are going to be until tomorrow. How'd this one slip through the cracks?

Have I missed this ad somewhere? Thanks, Dave

Any new word on texted specials?

These guys are the equivilent of Media Play, only dealing mostly in used. They've posted their BF specials on their website. They usually run even more. I will be in AZ and sad to miss their sale. Dave http://www.entertainmart.com/

Hi, I've seen some posts on texted in-stores specials during BF. What stores offer this? Thanks, Dave

I just got the Borders Black friday sale email: http://www.borders.com/online/store/MediaView_blackfriday?cmpid=SL_20081127_REW Enjoy! Dave

I, too, have posted on myspace! Hello Friends! If you, like me, live for the thrill of buying ridiculously expensive things at outrageously low prices, you may be a Black Friday Warrior. If you finish your last piece of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving Day and yell, "Okay, everyone in the car!" drive to your local Best Buy and stand outside in line with a portable TV and thermos of Hot cocoa laced with butterscotch schnapps, then you may be a Black Friday Warrior. If you bought a $1000 flat screen TV for $400 and some change last year, then you may be a Black Friday Warrior! I have been a BFW for many years now. I spend weeks making plans, saving money and over all building endurance to brave the cold and fierceness of my other BFW competitors. I have done 75% of my shopping on BF, thus saving me thousands of dollars. But one retailer is threatening all this. One retailer wants to take my fun away! This is the story of that retailer. In the past two years I have used a web site called http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/ to preplan my shopping. They post all the circular ads for all the web sites weeks in advance. They store all the deals in a database so you can chose to search by doorbusters (those sales only available at the butt-crack of dawn), type of item or price. They allow you to generate a shopping list, compare prices and sometimes even have pictures of the items scanned in. This service has saved me time and money. I can go the stores I need, get in and out, and be done with all my shopping by noon. Wal-Mart has threatened to sue Gottadeal.com if the site releases their black friday ad early, stating that gottadeal.com is revealing their trade secrets. I'm sorry to say, but this is unfortunate and downright despicable. Again, the world's largest retailer is using their power to crush the independent spirit of the small business owner. Gottadeal has been in business for years as a portal site to online coupons and values. The BF ads have never been stolen but voluntarily given by employees of the companies they represent. For those of us who spend a lot of energy preparing for Black Friday, Gottadeal is a blessing. Here is the article that was published by cnnmoney.com. http://money.cnn.com/2007/10/18/news/companies/walmart_blackfridaylegal/index.htm If this upsets you, I request you make your voice heard via emails, phone calls or both. The only way giant corporations like Wal-mart ever hear the people is when we have a loud enough voice, and it effects their bottom line. If Wal-Marts does sue, then I will boycott Wal-Mart this BF and take my hard earned money to other places. I hope you will join me. Here is a forum where you can see the feelings of other such BFWs, as myself: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=85021 Thank you for your time!

Got an email from CC on the Ferris Bueller. They are sending me a $10 credit to adjust the price. It retails there for $12.99 - $10 credit is $2.99 or less than the ad. Yea, me! Still no word back from Walleyworld. Dave

I contacted Wal-Mart central and they said they received quite a few complaints about it. Told me to call the district manager locally and they'd have to sell me the disc at that price. Still waiting to hear from Circuit city.

That is evil and wrong, you lucky sonnafagun! Sports Authority rang up a 25% discount twice giving me a 50% discount. Best deal I got outside of Tower's going out of business sale Dave

I ran into two situations where the picture on the ad was not what was offered at that price. Both were DVDs. The first was Cirucit City. In their 2 for $8 Dvds ad, they prominantly display the special edition cover for Ferris Beuhler's Day Off, but the regular edition (which I already own) was what was in the bin. Next at Wal-Mart, in their $9.87 Dvd ad, they show the collectors edition X-men III, but only had the regular edition available in the store. Of course, being Black Friday, no one really cared when I brought it up an neither store had the opposite version available. It's really no big deal, but it's dissapointing to a videophile, such as myself, to look for specific Dvds and not find them. Anybody else run into this? Dave

they email a retraction saying the ad got out before it was finished, but the only change was the hardrive. I wonder is someone is unemployed today?
