Best Buy Black Friday Ad

I just got an email with a link to the BB Black Friday Ad. I can't make out everything in the actual ad scan, maybe someone else can?

I believe we are not allowed to talk about black friday until the ads are made public by the company.

Still, Transformers Blu-Ray is not bad for $9.99.

There are more DVDs/Blu Rays in the scans BTW and they're better.

Did you click the "Ad Scan" tab? There's plenty more in there than the incomplete product listing.

Edit: Nice, you edited your post between me reading it and hitting the quote button. Obviously you have

Still not that great.

Sure, Transformers BD for 9.99 looks nice... but the Extended Edition BD is coming out in 2009, so I will be holding off.

Here is the scan of the ad by the way and it has more than the listings above. Some Blu Rays are on sale at $16.99.

Supernatural S3 for $15, Indy 4 Blu-ray for $17 and Transformers BD for $10 might get me out of bed.

If that is true, any mod please close the thread.

Ok I just read on another blackfriday site that one that ad is a decoy and not complete (yeah right), but they did also say that it is more likely the wisconsin ad which doesn't allow doorbusters so this is kind of useless right now at least

Wait, if it's the WI ad and WI doesn't allow doorbusters, why does the ad list doorbusters?

What it actually says in the site is this:

There isn't anything good to say about this advertisement, it's really horrible. Right now it looks like there could be four scenarios:

1-This is the legitimate Best Buy BF ad and it is horrible
2-This is the Best Buy BF advertisement that runs in Wisconsin, where they have laws that don't allow stores to do door-busters
3-This is a decoy and the "real" advertisement is still yet to be released
4-Best Buy will be relying heavily on their "Secret Sales" rather than their actual Black Friday ad

I have the CC ad up at CAG.

No one here's has responded to my request to post CC Black Friday ad.

CORRECTION: Pilot has so it'll go up now.

Thanks for the link, zoomgirl. Other sites like bfads.net has it up now as well. I'm sure it will get yanked, but I saved my copy for my own personal use...

Um.... I live in WI, and we've had doorbusters every year. So unless there is a new law I'm not aware of...
EDIT: After thinking about it, I know of the law in which you refer. There is a law about stores selling products below their cost. But I have only seen that law enforced ONCE. Last year, Walmarts could not sell the HD-DVD player for $99 like most other states. Otherwise, we have always had doorbusters, and the prices in the past have been exactly as Speedy posted them...
