Slickdeals.net has a Black Friday forum with all the ads leaked.

There are much better sales this year than last year already. Part of it are electronic prices (LCD TVs, monitors, etc) coming down in price.

Bretsky, the Netbook for 150 is what you should get your kids if you're still in the market for one. I can't recommend a netbook, but the most well-reviewed one as far as I know is the Acer Aspire One.

I've never gone out shopping on that day. I think I'd rather gouge my own eyes out with an icicle. Or even better, stay home and eat too many leftovers, watch shitty tv and drink beer. Yep, that sounds like a cheap meal, cheap entertainment and beer. Best bargain yet!!!

Just a heads up to anyone that might be tempted by the price - don't do it.

Why? I think it's a really good price. I don't like Netbooks personally but if I was in the market for one, this is a good deal. Then again, the new Atoms are coming out soon.

That's just it. This atom is a dog, and is a big part of the reason that you haven't liked netbooks.

You can get one of these, or the virtually identical Gateway for $380 shipped - if you really want a netbook.

I wouldn't get young kids a netbook. I'd probably get them a full sized lappy for the same money. Kids game. Netbooks don't.

I don't go out to shop much anymore period. There are plenty of bargains out there on the web.

Just a clarification, don't ever get an Intel GPU if you're looking to play games. The Intel 4500 is about as stripped down a 3d processor as you can find. If you are looking for a gaming lappy, you will be spending $800+. I prefer nVidia chips to ATI but thats my personal choice. You will find people on either side of that issue.

Completely agree with you -- but Bretsky wants Netbooks for his kids and it's not my place to tell him otherwise. I really didn't enjoy the experience with either Netbook I've had. The Atom is like a P3. Super, duper slow.

3d gaming, that is. 2d games are processor intensive so this won't matter much. For your typical internet game, for example, that is almost exclusively CPU intensive.

I don't foresee Bretsky's kids playing the latest Doom or Need 4 Speed, though.

Maybe not this year. But they sure could be during the life of the laptop.

007, looks like I may be headed to Target this year. Does anyone have any good Black Friday deals on dishwashers? Mine just bit the dust.

HA yep, me too. $3 kitchen appliances looks good. Granted they will be cheaper models, but for $3 who cares.
Haven't had a dishwasher in 3-4 yrs. Always find other, more important, home repairs to worry about. Well, that and spending a couple hundred on a baseball bat.....lol Wish they had a "black friday" for sporting goods.

They do. It's called Craigslist, lol. Or Play it Again Sports (Is that still open? I used to go there all the time but they didn't have them in Tampa)

Christmas is in serious jeopardy of sucking this year. What do you get teen girls? They already have cell phones, ipods and cameras. We might have to get them a trip instead of "stuff". It was so easy when they were little.
