Does amazon not do the time charts for dvds/blu rays and video games like they did in past years?

About 5 years ago, they did this perfectly right and had the best calendars. Since then, they've dwindled more and more each year and apparently now just non-existent.

You should post what you're chasing if you think it may be useful to others.

What about posting something like....

"It rhymes with 'BV', comes in a size bigger than 59" but less than 61", could potentially be 4K and Smart, manufactured by a brand that rhymes with 'Bamsung', and will cost somewhere between $398 and $400"?

Probably so that he has it and can post it when they say he's allowed.

When CAN you post it, Brad?

I can post the deals as they go live. Sending it to us just lets us prepare them ahead of time which is helpful. There aren't many lightning deals in this list though. They keep those pretty secret.

If that is the case I'm not even bothering with Amazon this year. I'm so over them. Don't even waste my time shopping in there anymore.

I decided to follow amazon deals on twitter and turn notifications on and that might resolve the issue with them publishing a calendar.

Oh, sorry. The time... I'm not sure if that was released. I'll poke around.

Here's a number of them:

·         Starting November 20, Kindle Paperwhite will be $20 off – just $99.99

Amazon is on Pacific Time, so probably 3am ET tomorrow morning for all of those; and probably the rest of the devices, too.

I'm sure one will turn up. I haven't seen one this week, either. May not even see one til next week, but it's bound to show up before xmas. I've even seen them as DealOfTheDay a few times in the past 6 months. If I see one, I'll be sure to post it here.
