I'm gonna come out and say it right now... is ANYONE else not impressed with their sales?! Seriously.. I would have thought they would actually have something better. Guess I will be waiting for more to come in.

I'm sharing this with the entire office right now and scheduling a conference call just to discuss the ad? :D Thank you Brad!!

 

What do you think about the washer and dryer for $549? Seems like a great deal..?

Not Impressed at all !! Does anybody else think that maybe this is just a ploy and that maybe they are gonna sweeten the deal as we get closer to BF? I mean seriously, the PS3 deal was weak compared to what Walmart did last weekend, the Toshiba laptop was nowhere near the two hundred mark and everything else was just horrible. I hope they make improvements because seriously I will not even be stopping there the way it is now.

Best Buy has been making it a habit of doing TWO ads. The regular one and then the one that can be viewed "online only" I sure hope they do that again this year. If not..looks like I am not going.

Question: So the "2nd-online only ad"-will that only have sales online, or will it include sales that will be in stores on BF? Thanks, I cannot remember from last year.

Best Buy always has 2 ads, the paper ad, and then their unadvertised specials (some are in-store only, some are available online and in-store) on their website which they usually promote on tv the few days leading up to Black Friday. Almost always the best deals Best Buy has are the unadvertised specials which you have to look for on their website. last year everything in the paper ad, plus their unadvertised specials went on sale Thanksgiving Day.

 

Also, many items in their ad are being beat already by other BF ads, so I would expect Best Buy will drop some prices to match, like the Sony Blu-Ray player for instance.

I feel we are not seeing the whole picture in this ad. I feel someone is either giving us incomplete or invalid information. I'm not trying to say the ad is fake, but seriously were all the movie deals. I look at last year's ad which had like a whole page of movie deals including the everything HBO half off. I see nothing to this effect in this years ad. Plus this years ad is 14 pages shorter than last year's ad. Something seems odd. Am I right?

Lmao. Ok, are you seriously having a conference call about it? I guess that might be a good idea, just would be a little funny. lol

Pretty unspectacular. The laptops are decent enough, but the rest of the ad is kinda meh.

 

On the other hand, I didn't see a single item listed with rebates; they're all with "savings".

Best Buy does not do rebates, any manufacturer rebates are paid for by Best Buy on your behalf, so you get the savings instantly.

In one of the ad scans a lot of the blu-ray movies and tv seasons shows at great prices are barely shown, but they are there. I was surprised not to see the HBO in this ad, but it has become a yearly tradition to put those all on sale, so I wouldn't give up hope just yet.

You don't get all your savings instantly and some rebates have to be sent in by you. I had to send in one from Best Buy for my free Vista upgrade. I had to send it to the Microsoft manufacturer, Best Buy did nothing but sell me the pc.

don't they usually have a little half page flyer thing attached to the ad for door busters? I can say there is nothing in there that is worth getting in line at 5 am friday for! I'll be skipping BB if this is it!

The Vista upgrade program was a special case because the computers being sold did not have Vista already preinstalled. Best Buy does not do rebates, they quit offering mail in rebates a couple years ago.

Ok...I am sending out an APB for deals like these:

 

BestBuy - Toshiba A135-S7403 Laptop & Canon 3-in-1 Printer Bundle - 229.99

 

 

BestBuy - eMachines Celeron Desktop w/ 17" LCD & All-in-One Printer - 199.97

 

^These were part of the "secret sale" that did not show up until a few days before Thanksgiving.

 

 

BestBuy - AT&T GoPhone Pay-As-You-Go Cell Phone - 5.99

 

 

BestBuy - Big Daddy, King Kong, Few Good Men, Best Friend''s Wedding DVDs - 2.49

 

 

 

Too much stuff to list! But I want prices that make you wanna slap yo momma! :D

 

 

 

BestBuy - Compaq Dual Core Desktop w/ 1GB, 250GB, 17" LCD Monitor - 399.97 < This one from last BF had the Compaq brand name and was Core Duo. The one they are offering this year is $100 cheaper for 1 more gig of ram, more hd space, and a bigger lcd monitor, BUT you lose the name and processor speed. Seems like $299 might just be a pretty sweet deal on a desktop.

I think the sony laptop is a decent deal. You won't find a blu ray laptop for under 950$. And this one is a SONY for 899.99 with a free casino royale on blu ray.

 

I like that.

 

The Internal Blu Ray Rom by LG is a good one too. Its 99$ on newegg right now, but this is in store which you usally don't see at a place like bestbuy. Not on sale by much, but id pick it up just becuase its local.

I know that a year or two ago our Best Buy did not follow the ad that was released on here. They said that the ads are regional and they were right... the ad that came in our paper was completely different, though the ad on here seemed legit for some members in their areas. I had gone to buy something in advance and then was going to price adjust. I hesitated on it as it had a hefty restocking fee if they didn't price adjust and I just returned it. I decided to believe the employees (manager included) and am glad I did, our ad was totally different.

 

Just FYI

Looks like a year for smaller items from this ad.

Still really curious about the secondary ad that everyone knows is comming

Exactly. I know the movies are missing--they always have DVDs and CD's at terrific prices--is somebody messing with us :mad:
