Re: your best black friday finds
It's not a movie, but I was able to score a Sony Bravia 46" LCD TV from Best Buy this morning. It was $50 more than Walmart's price, but I wasn't about to camp out there. Cool thing was, when they rang it up, it was the Walmart price (they matched it and beat it), so I was in heaven.
Got it home, mounted it to the wall, watched a bit of G.I.Joe on it.
Definately a better experience than my 27" SlimTube HDTV.

Re: your best black friday finds
I think I did pretty well. I had a $25 Best Buy gift card, so I ordered one BD online with in-store pick-up and then purchased a second BD while I was at the store this afternoon. Since the total was exactly $28, I only paid $3.
Amazon (Free Super Saver Shipping)
Braveheart BD $10
The Dark Knight BD $10
The Terminator BD $8
Best Buy (including tax)
300 BD $14
Dr. Strangelove BD $14

Re: your best black friday finds
Went back and picked up Fast and Furious tonight for $10 at Walmart. Wanted to get a copy of Wedding Crashers but couldn't find it . Not the hugest fan of the movie but $12.99 might be worth it for that Wizard of Oz 3 disc set so I might get that tomorrow.

I'm sorry, I should have posted that; spotted it days ago while researching Amazon deals. But I thought I'd just get a lot of flak if I posted it because it wasn't a BD or DVD deal. The self-appointed "forum police" — not the mods — can be pretty annoying here.

One word: KHHHAAAANN!!! Great steal at $8 at Best Buy. Didn't get Wolverine for $10. Changed my mind at the last moment.
I also got Gladiator for $10 with the $10 upgrade rebate attached at Walmart, as well as Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for Wii).

I'm impressed, Cars and Star Trek II arrived today! With standard free shipping, no less. Last thing I ordered with the free shipping took over a week.
