Black Friday 2 Weeks Away!
Today being November 9th means that we all have two more weeks until the busyiest shopping day of the year, Black Friday!
(And maybe to mark the occasion), the biggest ads of the Black Friday season hit the net today – Best Buy and Circuit City!
GWA HA HA!
Truly for all of us Black Friday shoppers, this was a big day. Anyone else getting excited?
What I’m Really Looking For
Going into this holiday season, there weren’t many items that I was really coveting. As things are going, I think next year is going to be the big TV year for myself, but I was hoping that this year I could UP my digital camera game since mine is getting a little long in the tooth.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t readily appear to me that there are some sales on D-SLR’s but if anyone would like to correct me, I invite and encourage you to do so since my little guy is growing up faster than anyone anticipated!
What I’ll Probably End Up Getting
As has been the case the last couple of Black Fridays, I start at Best Buy and then go to Circuit City since those are usually where the bulk of “my deals” happen to be. Last year (and I think the year before) I went to local CompUSA at midnight (before the official start of Black Friday) and did some shopping there too. But as the local CompUSA has turned into a Micro Center and neither has their ads out yet, the jury is still out on that whole front.
What I do know is that Best Buy looks to have some good deals on 360 games and DVD box sets, so that may likely prove to be my first stop. I also heard through the grapevine that Circuit City has a $99 GPS so that might end up being a gift to someone. (I’m pretty sure they don’t read this blog which is why I divulge that).
On a related note, I’m pretty sure Rock Band will be out by then and I’m very surprised that the game hasn’t even been mentioned in the big retailer’s ads. Oh well.
What About You?
And of my fellow Black Friday shoppers getting excited for one thing or another? Some people are saying that BF is lookin’ kinda weak this year. Thoughts?

Damn Bush you’ve got yourself a real game plan!
We don’t have anything like Black Friday here in the UK, we used to have the January/post Christmas sales but with “teh internets” they aren’t really what they used to be.
But if you’re talking purchases, then I would be excited about the Toshiba stand-alone HD DVD I should hopefully be getting soon, but I’m saving my pennies

@Pete – You don’t have Black Friday over there!? That sucks. I spent the better part of today starting to plan out my Black Friday for this year. *nod*
BTW, GL with the HD DVD player. Personally, I gotta get a HDTV first. (#):D
