MINNEAPOLIS (NYSE: BBY) Nov. 14, 2011 - Best Buy today will reveal another series of Black Friday Doorbuster deals via Facebook and Twitter with a link to www.bestbuy.com/doorbusters.

The film will be shown beginning at 9 p.m. local time at these locations, for customers who are waiting in line for the retailer's first ever midnight opening. For Black Friday shoppers, Best Buy has combined the convenience of a midnight opening with hot deals on must-have CE products, unique entertainment events and other incentives to help make shopping even more fun and hassle-free during the busy holiday season.

 

"Black Friday has increasingly become an event, a ritual for so many," said Brian Dunn, Best Buy's CEO. "And this year, Black Friday doesn't start the day after Thanksgiving, it starts the minute after Thanksgiving. At Best Buy, we're thrilled to be there for our customers as we give them an early preview of doorbusters, reward them with gift cards and entertain those in line with an outdoor screening of the final Harry Potter film. And we're ever so grateful for our employees who sacrifice to be there for our customers when they need us to be."

I don't think they are releasing any info that we don't already know if I read this correctly. Remember, this press release is geared toward people who "haven't seen" the actual ad yet. I think they are just revealing more of their ad.

BB is playing it well this year. By leaking to the "don't already knows", they are keeping the buzz going to the masses. WM really laid an egg IMO just as BB is stepping up their game. Believe me, if BB can lure me back, they're doing something right.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we still don't know the price on things like the iPads and some of the TVs.

Is it safe to assume the stores having movie events are usually the more populated ones? Is your store doing the movie Jim?

When you click on the link of doorbusters it shows the 24" Dynex that 79.99 under the doorbusters that will be in store and online that is awesome it means I dont need to go to the store. Also glad my store doesnt have the movie even though a bunch of the BB near me do maybe more people with go to the one with the movie so that if i do decide to go to BB on BF my store wont be so crowded.

WOOO!!! No stores in my area are doing the movie. Yey! :yup:

 

I'm surprised the 179$ laptop is available online. I would have thought they'd have one laptop not available. I'd never do online ordering with BestBuy on Black Friday. I've heard of too many horror stories.

Not sure which carrier you have, but do not ignore the deals in Walmart for the smartphones. I bought the Samsung Charge 2 weeks ago for $200, Walmart will have it BF for $98.88 and $100 off... comes to FREE. Samsung makes Iphones by the way (just learned that recently) Check the reviews, Samsung is the only phone that often beats Apple.

Good News.... 1) My Best Buy IS NOT DOING THE MOVIE..... 2) Additional deals that I was counting on :-)

 

BEST BUY IS GOING TO CRUSH THE COMPETITION THIS YEAR. Finally a company that realizes we are in a recession and knows to get money when thigs are tight, you have good deal. I am spending more than I intended at Best Buy this year because of their deals.

I just talked to my BB manager and he said that they will have a truck with a movie LED movie screen where they will show the film. They will also rent port a potties and have that at one end of the parking lot.
