Each individual will have their own priorities.
If you want to come at it from the point of how crappy it is for the employees, than I am right there with you. They are the only ones being forced to show up and have their Thanksgiving screwed. It would be nice if there was just more respect for the major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, but we're living in a totally different world than what I used to live in, so I guess it's too much to ask for any kind of responsibility, other than trying to get every penny from the not-so-educated consumer. |

What's more important, time with your kids or toys for your kids?
When I was young, for the holidays my parents gave me a few small gifts and one big gift, which was probably a $50 purchase. And while I wished I had a Super Nintendo, I didn't expect one. It wasn't my money. Besides, since Amazon usually mirrors most of the stuff the other places are putting on sale, the need to go to a physical store has dropped considerably. |

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
I don't like the trend and honestly don't care for how it creeped earlier and earlier on Friday and will inevitable move earlier into Thanksgiving day and probably Wednesday too. That said, I don't like the crowds on Friday at any time and find little of it truly worth it, but people still go and will go which only encourages the stores to do it.

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
I'm in the hunt for a new TV this year (60 inch or possibly bigger) Does anybody know from previous years if Amazon is pretty competitive with their pricing compared to the big box stores? There is no way I can justify spending my Thanksgiving away from my family so I can camp outside a Wal-Mart or Target just to save a couple hundred bucks.
|
Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
I think Amazon is pretty good about doing some lightning deals for TVs and such.
Never really noticed if they will just randomly drop prices on bigger items like that though...especially since then not many would likely notice that. I almost sprung for a new 32'' for my bedroom last year that was a lightning deal but decided my CRT I bought in 2005/2006 is still plenty good, especially since it is a flat screen and I could find a better use for the money. |

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
Does anyone have any insight on possible deals for Breaking Bad? I just started the first season and love it. Would really like to pick up the rest of the series!
|
Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
Right now Best Buy has S2 & 3 of Breaking Bad for $14.99 and S4 & 5 for $19.99. All Blu. It might go lower, but those seem like decent prices to me.
|
Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
The prices for BB seasons 1-4 suck. They were running a B1G1 promo for them late last year at the same price. While I don't expect the last episodes to be cheap, if you wait, even until BF, you will do better.
|
Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
I'm thinking they do a Mad Men special circa 2011 with Breaking Bad. $10 per BR, $7 per DVD season. Amazon will sell them out in about 45 seconds so gotta be swift.

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
It is already here on Thursday. Multiple stores opening between 5 and 7 Thanksgiving evening. |

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
Looks like I'll wait it out for a good deal on BB. Thanks for the tips!

Me too, also got S3 and S4 similarly cheap and it was my first exposure to the show. So glad I got caught up before the final 8 episodes. Of course, now I have to wonder if I should double dip when the series "barrel" set comes out with all the extras... |
Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
Someone in another thread mentioned they'd guess Man of Steel would be a prime candidate for Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales...
Are 3D Blu-rays usually included in such sales though? I'm new to shopping for them. Basically I'm interested in picking up both Man of Steel & Pacific Rim 3D Blu-rays & they are priced at $25 & $30 respectively on Amazon right now. Not sure if I should just pick them up now or wait for any sales in the next few weeks. I know it's pure speculation but any insight or educated guesses would be appreciated! |

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
Added The Internship / The Big Year to the OP for 8:20am PST(11:20 EST).
The thing here is it does not appear in the deals calendar, but it does as 1 of the lightning deals! http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox |
Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
Fuck yeah, Strike Back S2 will be mine if the price is right

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
Will Amazon leak the actual Black Friday Calendar like in the years past? That was extremely helpful in planning purchases
|
Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
Anybody know when they announce the actual Black Friday prices? I can't remember.
|
Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar

No, 3D Blu-rays are rarely included for Black Friday specials. Too few consumers buy them to really drive traffic to stores and many stores carry very sparse stocks of 3D discs to begin with.
I would not bank on 3D editions being on massive sale on those days. Your better bet is probably after Christmas, when retailers want to get rid of expensive and bulky stock. So to the OP ... yes, there is certainly a possibility the recent 3D Blus you're interested in could be on sale. :) |
Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
a real deal on strike back wouldve been $15.99, not $21.99

Added 11/20 & 21 Lightning Deals to the OP

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
For 3D Blu Rays, I'm exercising patience right now. Quite a few I would like, but I'm waiting (hoping) for the $14.99 range during BF week. You really need to have extra patience a few days before BF. That's what my wallet tells me :)
