hmmm...any chance sears or ace have mini fridges on sale? been meaning to get one for the longest time
Last year I waited whole night for a 42 inch plasma. But I don't think it's worth it to do it again this year.
Was it success? Did you experience sexy time with 42 inches? In my kontry, we regard 42 inch as very lucky priest. HIGH FIVE! [crickets] Joking attempts aside, were you successful in retrieving the TV for a good price? If so, how much?
I may have to partake in the Black Friday festivities this year. A 42 inch plasma would look sweet in my room.
I did get a girl's number that night. Too bad she was 17. Maybe I should call her now . Anyways, I got the TH-42PX60U for a thousand dollar. It was 1400 at the time. So not too bad I guess. A friend and I went to the Best Buy at Plano around 7 p.m. And there was already 50 people in line. The group of people that was first in line was there at the morning of thanksgiving, the had camp set up. And more people came afterward and cut in front of us. So all the super deal like the 300 dollar laptop was long gone before us (They pass out vouchers).
Be careful with that. Last year there was a group of people in front of us each bought a 42 inch LCD trying to sell them online. But BB started to sell those LCD on their website the next day for a cheaper price and also included a free chair. I bet those guys were pissed.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5217118.html Electronics forecast: Computers top holiday wish lists By MAY WONG Associated Press SAN JOSE, Calif. — Move over, peace and happiness. Computers are what Americans really want nowadays. The machines that feed us infinite and instant information, store our digital memories, give us hours of fun with games, videos or music — and help us do our taxes — outrank peace, happiness and clothes this year as the most wished-for gifts, according to an annual U.S. survey by the consumer electronics industry's largest trade organization. Last year, the most popular answer to the survey's open-ended query about respondents' holiday wishes was clothing, followed by peace and happiness, money and then computers. This year, after computers, peace and happiness came in second, followed by a big-screen TV, clothes and then money. Such enthusiasm for computers, TVs, as well as other electronics will help drive electronics sales up 7 percent to $48.1 billion in the fourth quarter from $44.8 billion the year-ago period, according to a forecast by the Consumer Electronics Association. By comparison, the overall retail industry is expected to see holiday sales grow 4 percent, according to the National Retail Federation. "We're looking at a very solid season for consumer electronics, and it's certainly a bright spot for the economy," said Joe Bates, CEA's director of research. For all of 2007, electronics sales are expected to reach $160 billion, up 8 percent from $148 billion last year, according to the CEA forecast. The organization's annual consumer survey separately evaluated shopping intentions for the holidays. The random telephone survey of 1,003 U.S. adults was conducted in late September and had a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points. "The fact that they want computers over clothing and peace and happiness is amazing," said Shawn DuBravac, the CEA's economist. "It's a testament to what the tech industry has done to empower the consumer." People are doing more with their computers, such as posting videos or writing blogs, Bates said. The demand for laptops is particularly strong, "and you can buy a more powerful one and at a lower price than what you paid for four years ago," he said. The survey also indicated consumers plan to spend bit more on gadget gifts this year: $358 per household versus $337 in 2006. Gifts will account for about 46 percent of electronics sales in the fourth quarter, while the rest will come from purchases people make for themselves — a typical shopping pattern during the holiday period, Bates said. As for specific gizmos people wanted to receive as gifts this holiday season, portable music players topped the list for the third year in a row. Laptops rose to second place from third and video game systems displaced digital cameras to come in third. Gaming will be hotter this year, Bates said, since all the next-generation consoles have been out for at least a year and have a larger library of games. A video game system was also the most popular item people planned to give as an electronics gift this year, according to the survey.
