Best Buy Secret Laptop Deal?

joeblackfriday — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 01:31:23 +0000

In an earlier post I talked about how Best Buy already goofed up on pricing with the HP Laptop and printer combo, so I think that will be a Doorbuster. But I also think there’s a chance that this laptop or this laptop will show up around $200. My guess is the second one since it is “sold out” online. That’s just my guess. Let’s hope they do something!

Best Buy – What are you doing?

joeblackfriday — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 14:53:35 +0000

Early this morning Best Buy had their doorbusters up. There was a new laptop/printer combo that showed up at $329 but when you clicked on it the price was $279. Now it’s at $849. What in the world is going on over there? Keep an eye on their website for updates to their secret sale items for black friday 2008.

Best Buy Black Friday Secret Sale Items

joeblackfriday — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 03:56:17 +0000

I don’t know what they are yet but I can tell you this – I believe they are going to be BIG!

I know people were wondering why I haven’t put more Black Friday stuff up. Well…I’m not into just any old Black Friday. My Black Friday revolves around the deals at Best Buy. So I have been apprehensive to talk about their deals, etc., that were released early because I entered the Best Buy Black Friday VIP Contest…and I didn’t win.

Okay – back to the deals: I still don’t know what they are but I really believe that as soon as they are released people are going to freak out and run down to their local Best Buy to stand in line to get the deals for Black Friday. Not Me. Why? I will already be there!

I am getting my stuff together right not (well…after I type this blog) to head down to Best Buy. It is about 10:48 Eastern time right now on Monday, November 24, 2008. I’m going to pitch a tent, grab my inflatable mattress, my laptop, some extention cords, some movies, coffee, longjohns, and a bunch of other stuff and get this line going. When the Secret Items are revealed, I will already be there!

I will try to post some videos from the store from my crackberry or laptop on here. I wonder if the person they chose as the Atlanta VIP was this serious about Black Friday? Well, with a name like “Joe Black Friday,” I can’t help it.

Best Buy Black Friday Ad?

joeblackfriday — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 21:08:29 +0000

There is an ad circulating online that is supposed to be the Black Friday ad. Here is why I believe it is a fake:

1. The TVs all have Kung-Fu Panda on them, which was in last week’s BB ad. Even this coming week has Wall*E and a video game being released on the TVs. Why would they feature a movie that comes out two weeks prior instead of a newer one?

2. The ad for this coming week has the New Blackberry Storm. This is being released this week and is the most anticipated phone of the year. Why is this phone not in the BF ad?

3. This next week has Blu Ray DVDs, such as National Treasure and National Treasure 2, for $19.99 but the BF ad has not so good Blu Ray DVDs for only $3 less?

I know how Best Buy does BF and this is not it. There is too much about the lack of aggressive pricing and the print ad itself that does not allow me to believe the ad is legit. HOWEVER, if it is the ad, I can gurantee there will be additional doorbusters revealed online prior to BF. I have done BF at BB for the past 7 years and will be there again this year. I am confident that they are going to step up like they always do. But, until I get the real ad, I am not even going to post the ad that is circulating and waste my time. I’ll let you know when it’s available.
