starshine Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hey I'm so glad I found this forum! I have been chomping at the bit for ads since Febuary! LOL Can't wait to see some ads and start my list. My son wants a stereo and I would like a portable DVD player for the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugs Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Ahem, there are THREE main gaming consoles geno, and the best one is Gamecube. From what I hear the XBox has the best hardware, but the PS2 is more popular because of the game selection. I also think the controller sucks for XBox, even the new one. Then again, I don't like PS2 controllers either, I can never remember which button is which. GameCube has a good controller. :) SNES had the best controllers ever though.

Brad Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 SNES had the best controllers ever though.Agreed. The only 2 consoles I own are SNES and Dreamcast. Some great games for both of those systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genoandkiddo Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 There are quite a few BlackFridayHolics here :)Hello, my name is Kiddo and I am a Blackfridayholic. It started about nine years ago, totally by accident. I was working as a stock person in Walmart and saw some of the good deals. I just couldn't help myself. From then on, I have scoured the ads, cut coupons, searched clearance racks and dream about black friday. I just can't help it. Mugs, Thank you for your help as well. I think I am going to wait until the ads come out and decide then. Who knows, I might be able to get two systems. Starshine, Welcome, this forum is the best. But you will see for yourself.I love it.

BFQueenofNY Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I am hoping that I can get a portable color dvd player for the car for about $100-$150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadedmomof2 Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I'm looking for a VCR, Gamecube, and a tv/vcr combo. GC and combo are for my son's birthday which is 2 weeks before Christmas. Oh, and if I save up enough money in time, a cheap computer, because this one is nearly 6 years old. I think DH and I may split up our stores this year. He usually does Walmart by himself, but I think this year I'll let him handle Walmart again, and I'll head over to Best Buy, or maybe Target.

Keebelf Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 A good surround sound system for DH....a plasma screen wouldn't be bad either but I like our Entertainment Center too mcuh lOL. My first Leap Pad learning system for DD (4 in Jan.) Maybe a small bike for DS (2 on BF!) or else a bigger bike for Alexis and give Patrick her bike (which we got at last year's BF!) Does Home Depot ever do a BF sale on their Hard Wood Flooring? That would be worth a shot as well....and a privacy fence....Jeez, I need to quit thinking! That is mainly it without looking at the sale lists and saying "Oh yeah, forgot about THAT!..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cactusmom Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Am I the only one that finds themselves awake at night hoping for a glimpse of Black Friday sales! It's a sickness!!I do the same thing, but we are still in for a little wait. I did a search on several different forums and it looks like the earliest hint of the 2003 ads last year was about November 11th. A lot of sleepless nights huh?

mjjandz Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Thanks for the welcome. Not sure yet,I want one that has enough memory and space for him to grow with it.

RossMAN Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Allison, You're welcome :) Well if you can get us a budget for the laptop, I will keep my eyes open for any deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugs Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Allison - if he's just a freshman in high school, why not get him a desktop computer instead of a laptop? You could get a better desktop (read: it'll last longer) than a laptop for less money, it's more upgradeable, etc. The laptop will probably never leave his desk anyway. :) Just a suggestion though, it's too bad you missed the Dell deal the other day. I remember last black Friday Best Buy had a laptop for $500 (Didn't you get one of those Rossman?), maybe you'll get lucky this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mish Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Hi, I'm new to this board and to the BF obsession!! What are the chances of finding an iPod at these sales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Hi, I'm new to this board and to the BF obsession!! What are the chances of finding an iPod at these sales? Not good, since Apple doesn't let the stores advertise the iPod for below the MSRP. What particular model are you looking for? Maybe we can find you a deal now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basar Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I'd be looking for a 35"+ TV if I were in the U.S. during BF :) I'll be backpacking through Europe with friends! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
