| WoW, Black Friday is back, a year pass by so fast. Black Friday is mostly B&M only, hopefully I am not scheduled on that day

| For the '99 BF, I ended up going to BB at 5 in the morning to wait in a line that stretched around the block to buy a cheap computer and scanner. After that experience, I vowed never to do BF again (you know what they say about climbing Mt. Fuji or programming in assembly: you gotta do it once, but once is enough), and so it does amuse me to a small extent how much of a ruckus it causes. But the thing that I don't get is this: does it make a difference if you find out about a BF deal a month (or more, in this case) before BF versus if you found out about it the day before?

| It does for me. Not having unlimited resources, I have to buget for these things or miss out. JD

| From what I've read and seen on CNBC, Wal-Mart will be MUCH more agressive this year for BF. Last year they sort of took the approach of "we're Wal-Mart, we don't have to do anything for BF" and their Xmas season suffered as a result. Since a bunch of Wal-Marts are 24/7, I do wonder about the timing if they have super deals people want to line up for. Do you show up at midnight on Thanksgiving full of turkey or in the AM hehe... I bet there will be some VERY good hard drive deals this year - I mean $79 for 200gb SATA @ Fry's for the last few weeks was a good deal. They have to beat that. I say well under $100 for 300GB+ drives will be common in several places. I'm hoping 500gb non-Hitachi drives get reasonable (sub $200) this year.  |

| I too have been holding out for a couple of good deals on some hard drives, preferably something about 120 gigs or more. Maybe I'll see one of you guys in line, hopefully just ahead of you. I missed the BB hard drive deal last year due to work but this year I am off. Budzos

| well, thanks to rollin56 (hand clap) those of us following this thread have scooped CNN by about a week now. http://money.cnn.com/2005/11/01/news...ex.htm?cnn=yes (Course "gottadeal's" marketing staff are the ones that won out on this one.) |

| I'm also hopping to find some good dive deals soon. I'm kinda stuffed to the gills for one, and I'm also hoping to start using hard disks for my backups rather than removable media. I think 250's & 300's are going to be the price point. JD

| Any site know what Fry's will have on sale on Black Friday yet? I want to get a faster CPU soon, and none of the other stores have CPU's on sale. But Fry's usually have some MB/CPU on sale. Thanks. |

| has anyone heard of playo brand media and happen to know what the media ID is. one of the sites just posted the staples black friday ad and it has Playo DVD+/-R 50pks (doesn't specify the speed) for $2.94 after rebate. even if they're junk, that's an enticing price. $34.98 - $17 instant rebate - $15 mail-in = $2.94 |

| Yo- The best of all senerios - is to sit at home and pick off the deals from the websites - sometimes saving more than going to the stores and fighting the crowds- Mike

If so, I would guess Optodisc or one of the MBI clones. They have started to show up all over Office Max.
