christina5704 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 I was thinking the same thing... I'm in the eastern time zone and BB is in the central so their official Thursday morning would be 1am.
Kim3498 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Yep, I will most definatley be up. Last year the prices started to drop at around 1am EST. They staggered the prices and it was a long night for me. I was waiting on a laptop and it was 7:30am before the price for that finally dropped. Hope it all goes live at once this year.

Hope it all goes live at once this year.That happened to me about 2 years ago when I got a laptop from BB except I was done between 3-4am. Those staggers kill me, refresh becomes your best friend.. lolI think they should have everything go live at one time.
burgmules660 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Think I will stick around till around 1am Eastern. Guess Thursday morning offically starts at 12:01;)I read that the sale starts at 12AM EST,
Jennday69 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Will they have the $40 Blu-Ray player available at 1am? I don't want to wait up if it's not going to be on there.
FatRocky Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 They stagger stuff out all night. Luck of the draw usually.
Jennday69 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Okay...thanks. Wasn't sure if they'd have that online because it's a doorbuster. I can bide my time and see if it goes on sale. Not like I have to work in the morning. :-)
christina5704 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 The sale starts at 12 midnight at the actual store. But on the ad for doorbusters it says Nov 24 -Nov 26 CST. Who knows when it will start...

daftande Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 They just switched a lot of items "Add to cart" button to "Coming soon". As in prior years this means we are on time for ~10PM PST/12AM CST/1AM EST for the start of the items coming online... get your F5 keys ready!
Jen8112 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 They just switched a lot of items "Add to cart" button to "Coming soon".As in prior years this means we are on time for ~10PM PST/12AM CST/1AM EST for the start of the items coming online... get your F5 keys ready!Yup, I got 4 out of 5 things in my cart then it switched to "Coming Soon". Oh well, I won't wait all night for it. If they are not all live around 1am Est then I will try in the morning. :)
kjrustin933 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 So how does this exactly work? If you know exactly what you are looking for,do you just go to the main bb website, look for the item you want and place it in your cart and keep hitting refresh until the discounted price shows up??? from what i understand, there are going to be items for sale on black friday that are generally not sold in stores....

Svuroo Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 I'm staying up too! I've been strategizing how to get the things I'm looking at. It looks like the things labeled as doorbusters will not be online but I'll still check later just to see.
Brad Posted November 24, 2011 Author Posted November 24, 2011 get your F5 keys ready!Make sure you F5 the BB site, not the forum Every year everyone keeps refreshing these threads to get the latest posts and it brings the servers to a crawl. I should probably finally go through the BB ad to see if there is anything I actually want.

I'm only getting the Xbox Live card, Supernatural Seasons 5 & 6 and the 8 disk Harry Potter set. All are online and say coming soon so hopefully they go on sale online. :)
dgober Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 they just pulled items out of cart....ugh! Where's my Dr Pepper...
DaFees Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Well I'm waiting and ready to score a PS3 at Best Buy, if Target proves to be a bust. At least with Best Buy I have the product page I can keep F5ing, but with Target I have no product page with which to do so. :
dgober Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 well at least 3 of the items I want are on the same page....
Jen8112 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 BB just posted on their Facebook they will post on Facebook and Twitter when online items are available. Not sure how much I'm going to trust that. lol
Kim3498 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Bestbuy just posted this on facebook: Catch a few ZZZs and have the coffee brewing early! We'll post on Facebook & Twitter when the Online Black Friday sale begins
fabnsab Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Ugh! I'm a night person! Mornings are the hard part for me... Lol I'm up cooking!

Turner1997 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 I saved the items I want to "my wish list" so I just have to refresh that page and can see if any of the prices have dropped yet.
christina5704 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Any chance the ipads will go on sale tonight?I was wondering that myself..
