Since Amazon announced they were matching all other black friday deals, I'm not even worrying about Best buy althoughI've never had anything cancelled, with amaozn I save even more since I don't have tax.

Funai is crap. If you buy a Magnavox product it's by Funai and it's customer service is crap. You can't understand them if you do get through to a live person. I stick with Samsung and Lg. The tv store here in town says they are the 2 best. And I buy from amazon and get a 3 year square trade waranty. My 700 tv waranty through square trade was only 50.00 with coupon on here and it's total coverage. Breaking and everything.

When I was there 3 weeks ago mine had tons of summer racks at .97 cents. i bought some for my granddaughters who live in California. The fall stuff was only half then. Maybe try them Friday

No there is no proprietary issues. You can sideload apps from other places but the amazon appstore is huge. I hve 1000 books on mine nad only 200 came from amazon. I sideloaded the rest

I'm guessing the Nintendo 3ds xl isn't going to be one of these deals : )
Probably not since it's already in the online specials. I preorderd my son the zelda bundle. No one has them on sale and at least walmarts had 2 games for 20 extra.

I got an email from Amazon today, offering any of the Kindle Fires free for 30 days. This might be a good way for someone on the fence to try it out before committing. With Amazon Prime, it ships free too so nothing out of pocket.
Amazon has ALWAYS had 30 day money back guarantee. No other tablet will, and if it's bought now for xmas, you hve until january 31 to makeup your mind. you can't beat that.

OK trying to play catch up as I would typically have charts and spreadsheets already made LOL
Looking for 2 tablets this year. My daughter and I both had and LOVED our Kindles. I was a total Amazon fan girl and sang praises everywhere. Then we tried to get them serviced. After a year of fighting with amazon/searching for any one that will work on them the amazon love has ended. They are fully aware of the first gen charging port issues and will only offer the solution of "buy a new one" and I can not find 1 computer guy that will work on them due to proprietary issues. So now with 2 kindle paperWEIGHTS in the house I am not planning to purchase a kindle.
Main things we would be using for-
For DD13: wifi only needed, Facebook, youtube, browsing, email, netflix, Hulu, music, maybe some limited game playing *would like to have a camera*
For Me: wifi only needed, browsing, email, facebook, netflix, hulu, time waster games(angry birds, little alchemy, candy crush), reading, some type of doc program for tracking swim times * would like camera AND video capabilities for recording her meets*
Size does not matter to either of us. I would prefer to stay away from apple (feel you pay for the name more then anything) and would take a deal from heaven to make me consider a Kindle again. I would like best deal possible but know that the $50 specials are not going to do what I want. So where is my best bang for buck for both of us? Suggestions?
I am very surprised, but I have heard others that had problems on amazon. Our advice on the forums was to keep calling until you get a kindle only rep from the us. They give the best service. You just can't call amazon direct. I had 2 replaced with no issues, they had cracked screens. Well, teh first one did, the second one kept freezing. They shipped me a new one immediately and gave me a month to return the old one. No one will work on them yes, even amazon doesn't work on them, but I bought 3 year square trade warranties on all mine for under 20.00. I did it day after xmas when square trade sends out an email for no receipt required and didn't go through amazon .

Just a heads up.
I started doing some research on tablets for my daughters birthday 2 months ago. I stumbled upon the Hisense Sero 7 Pro that Walmart carries. No really - keep reading. Apparently this thing is running under the radar for some reason. Its a very stripped down Android, and thats a good thing. No bloatware. Its very compatible to last years Nexus, plus has cameras and explandable memory. Dont worry about it only being 8gb as all of the music and photos can be dumped on the card. Here's the kicker. Walmarts extended warranty is $15 and gives you full coverage for 2 years including breaking the screen, dropping etc. It will also be updated to the latest software when that arrives. . Anyway, after doing a bunch of reading on forums that have smarter people than me, I purchased the tablet.and my daughter couldnt be more happy. Dont consider the Lite version of the tablet - waste of money, get the Pro. For $129 you are guaranteed a 2 year tablet, with updates, great screen, and its not a buggy $49 peice of garbage that wont ever be used. Dont trust me, do your own research on the forums or even youtube.
Hope this helps someone out.
The reports in pc mag are iffy. They say it has an aging processor and is a clunkly build. For the price, I will stick with amazons kindle fire I think. Or get a good deal on black friday for one of the name brands . Staples had 99. tablets a few days ago that I would have picked if they hadn't sold out so quickly.

THey are definitely price matching, NOT XMAS MATCH, which is different. People need to realize these are 2 different things. THe one they WON"T do is for you to buy it a week early and then want them to do the xmas price match where they give you the difference back. They will definitely price match which it clearly states in that announcement.

Then you're missing out on some excellent deals. If you're buying from Amazon, even if it's a 3rd party seller but fulfilled by Amazon, if the item doesn't meet your expectations, Amazon simply takes it back and refunds immediately. Heck, I've had a few "used" items I've bought from Amazon that looked like brand new--most recently a set of Westin running boards for our Silverado. They were "used" but darned if I could find any signs of them being out of their plastic wrappings.....and the price was half of "new".
And the very few times I've had a "used" item not meet my expectations, Amazon's even done a refund before I sent the item back. They'll even exchange the item for one in your cart and have the new item to you shipped overnight. Of course, this presumes you're using Prime.
I've had no qualms about buying used from Amazon at any time. Big savings, ultra easy returns if dissatisfied with what you get, and sometimes you get new for used prices. Can't beat that, if you don't mind the potential for "wasting" 2 or 3 days' time.
I don't have a problem usually if it's fulfilled by amazon, but the book I got was falling apart. I have been cheated several times by 3rd party sellers that weren't fulfilled by amazon. I even got a nice vcr dvd burner for half price, but it still has issues sometimes.

I didn't notify my insurance, I figured it was up to them to find out about it. THey came for review nad didn't care about our pool, but said put a fence around trampoline. I am 10 miles from town and no kids within several miles. Only 6 houses on our road. I told them a flat out no. They finally ggave in , but I discovered our new company Country Companies, could care less about pool or tampoline. In fact, I put insurance on teh pool in case anything jhappens to it. Allied said no way and a few others I called said no way.

I have all Samsungs in my house. The local tv store carries LG. They told me Samsung, Lg, then about 40 off brands and Rca is below that. I got mine all from amazon except the 40 inch and got it from sears the week before black friday, cheaper than in the bf ad.

only on select items

It didn't work for me. Saw is still 109

IF you cancel, they charge you 10.00. You neeed to pay it off, then return it. I had to do that last week when the Klip Klop stable was on lightning deal on amazon. They used to do price adjusting at time of pickup. I would have them scan every item on my layaway because they told me it isn't considered a purchase until that t ime. I've actually had them have to give me money back, but don't know if they will do it now.

When I was looking for my daughter one I called them. They told me they are the ones who set teh sales, not hte dealer and they only allow 2 sales a year and not at xmas. If your store hs a percentage off coupon on merchandise, you can get one that way. I found the best deal at sunnysports. They have a brick and mortar store in new york and their online prices are not bad. I called them and they are the ones who told me to ask for an inhouse price. I got a 169 Denali jacket for 99.00.
6pm carries last years styles at about half price.

It was there all summer, I looked at it when I was shopping for a bday present, and it was a several years long thread.
-
It was always pinned to the top at online deals. i will go look
It isn't there anymore.
-
They DO price match tv's. It's stated on their website. NOthing else, but even though they say they don't do price adjusting anymore, whenever I call them with that problem. They always do a 1 time adjust for me.

Staples has 50.00 off the tablets through today, so the samsung galaxy tab 3 would only be 129, and the nexus 7 would be 111, THey are giving extra savings today on top of hte 50.00
-
We are a kindle family and I was n't sure about buying a different brand. I'm not familiar with any of htem since I buy only kindles
-
Well, I would , but it's his cash, plus I don't have a store within 70 miles of me. I could call and do it on phone, I'm going there for black friday
-
That one shows out of stock also. I have the 8gb in my cart for 179. They took extra 8.50 off as special online promotion. Trying to get extra 10% off right now. Still looking for more online coupons. I used to have a 25 off 100, but it expired. I have 70 in staples cash, but it's for a new computer chair for my son. His is falling apart and they sent me the cash.
-
Okay, I chose the 169, google nexus 7 with 32 gb. They took immediate 8.50 off for 20 minutes only, Took 50 off for coupon. Have another 10% off coupon. Now I'm down to 111.00 and don't have 10% off code in yet. Tells me to call a store for that one. '
