An external DVD writer and maybe a SSD.

[PP Mguire]

I would like a 2011 water block to utilize my loop, a case for said loop, and a 660ti or better. Wont be getting any of it.

[najiro]

an antec kuhler 620 for my gtx 560ti.. will probably sell my corsair TX650w when my new PSU arrive to purchase the antec kuhler. SDD... ahh that would be in my Christmas wish list LOL

[sifter]

Usually avoid going to stores on Black Friday, but have been checking out a few deals. Mostly another SSD and a TV. May pick up a few of the free after rebate software.

[Cody_Irwin]

I avoid black friday, someone always end up dead here sadly...
People are stupid these days, also I have no cash so no point anyways haha.

[foxmobouser]

Newegg is gonna have the Vertex 3 120gb ssds for 50$ on 11/21/12 1pm

As fare as the antec kuhler, its just a rebranded model from what i heard and thermaltake, corsair, others use the same base item and think there on special for 40$ somewhere

[ET3D]

I would love one day to be in the US on Black Friday and experience the madness.

I won't be able to get any Black Friday deals, but tomorrow the Xbox 360 is officially released in Israel, seven years after it was released in the US, and I plan to get one soon. I have no idea what it would cost, but being an optimist I hope that the official console will be a bit cheaper than the grey imports.

WTF?! The 360 hasn't been offered in Israel?!

[ET3D]

WTF?! The 360 hasn't been offered in Israel?!

No. Apparently also not in Argentina. MS is making it available for both countries today. Xbox Live will be available on the 29th. I wonder which content provides Microsoft partnered with. There's nothing like Netflix here, but my understanding is that Microsoft intends to offer video/audio content on the Xbox like it does in other countries. I might be wrong though.

Unfortunately I haven't yet seen it advertised officially, even on Microsoft's site. I'll see if the weekend newspapers have anything.

[PP Mguire]

That's pretty crazy. How could you not have Live offered there? It just requires an internet connection, or do the ISPs block it?

[Joshua_Mahr]

I want a Corsair 850i and complete command link thingy..

[ET3D]

I think that if you select a different country it works.

[slugbug]

I'd like to get a new Home Theater receiver. Nothing too expensive.

[foxmobouser]

newegg has some pretty good deals goin on atm, and as far as the 120gb vertex ssd for 49$ it seems its due on Nov 22

I ended up getting 3 Benq 22inch monitors (great picture/kinda thickish bezel but ok) and a HIS 2gb 7850 gpu

Corsair Gaming Audio Series SP2500 High-power 2.1 PC Speaker System, people live below me love slam door.these will help for pay back

You have this problem too? They don't seem to like me stealing their internet right now, nor do they like my JBL 2.1. This B*&^% and her kids + bf (baby daddy, or whatever he is) have no regard for what hour of the day/night it is. They will slam their front door as hard as they can like it's broke or something.

[brokenwave]

if i had no job i wouldn't mind but dude, the slam door woke me up more times than the train. that fock up my body and my wallet, i need my rest to do my job

[peti1212]

Umm... a tablet, but probably won't cause I don't have money, but otherwise... foxmobouser's signature pic describes it well. :P

The Israeli Xbox site is live today but I haven't seen an official price or retailer list.

On the other hand I saw that the store I was planning to buy the Nexus 7 at has the new 16GB and 32GB models. Earlier today the difference was around $10, but I see now that they upped the 32GB price, so the difference is more like $30. Still worth to get the 32GB I think. I hope the price doesn't fluctuate too much for the worse by the time I get around to buying it.

[sifter]

Ended up standing in line after work yesterday. Fifteenth in line for a TV and they only had 8. Surprisingly still ended up getting one. No decent sale SSD prices at the moment, but Cyber Monday will bring better deals.

most ssd deals have been at night selling out in minutes, the 120gb kingston for 59 took a bit longer was even able to get it 2x into cart before neweggs system removed it.

Best thing I see still going on now is 180gb for 90 at tiger direct

[brokenwave]

how many hrs it takes u to get the tv?

[ryandigweed]

Didn't end up getting anything this time :(

[foxmobouser]

I gotta say that alot of the tech stuff you could get online this year and Newegg was the top dog. Tiger direct put up a pretty good fight with newegg in trying to offer or match bargains although their customer service sucks. Amazon got my attention 1-2 times but nothing special. Wish I could get a 50$ ssd but that was not meant to be I guess.

Wish I could get a 50$ ssd but that was not meant to be I guess.You can get a 60GB as cheap as 40-50 regular price these days, and 128GB I've seen as low as 79 on Newegg without Black Friday.

[foxmobouser]

Amazon lightning deals has 120 gb sandisk ssd coming up in 1:19min from this post

I generally go by GB/per dollar anything 0.5 or lower atm is cheap on ssd's

[PP Mguire]

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147163

I would grab that if I had the cash.

[CDsDontBurn]

I have no spare cash. But if I did, I'd be skipping on the BF deals and waiting on Cyber Monday instead :D

[brokenwave]

from now on i will never buy any computer stuff unless it's bf or cm, i over pay alot stuff when i saw the deals they had

[khangdan1992]

da*, my sisters took my money and went shopping, she said she would repay but the Black friday is gone :(:(

[PP Mguire]

Sister? Fists would be swung if a sibling took my money.

Bug, a well known computer store here, is having a "Black Friday" sale for a few days. They have the official Xbox + Kinect, which is more expensive on deal than pretty much anywhere else. I think I'll make do with something other than the official bundle. Even Toys R Us, which isn't the cheapest, has a Kinect bundle for around $40 less.

[PP Mguire]

How much do they want? You can get a 4GB Kinect bundle for around 99 bucks now.

[ET3D]

Where?

They're asking for the equivalent of $530 by the current exchange rate. That would be around $450 before tax.

[sifter]

how many hrs it takes u to get the tv?

5 hours.

[PP Mguire]

Where?

They're asking for the equivalent of $530 by the current exchange rate. That would be around $450 before tax.Here in the US. I was wondering how much they are overpricing in your area, which it seems like a great deal.

[ET3D]

But $99 isn't the regular price. If I got to Amazon.com, that's $300. I saw it sell for $250, but not for less.

[PP Mguire]

The 99 dollar deal is for the 4GB Slim and Kinect with a 2 year gold contract. I can go down to Walmart right now and buy a Kinect 4GB bundle for 199, or the Skylanders kit for 150.

[Aoshi]

I was able to snag an i5 3570 with an ASROCK extreme 4 motherboard for $230 at Microcenter! I bought it earlier in the month of November when the price was a bit higher for the motherboard. However I saw that they lowered the price for black friday and they honored the 30 day price guarantee and gave me the difference in price back!

Very happy with the purchase!

[Cody_Irwin]

All deals online were complete crap.
I cant believe only in store was the deals...
The best deal I seen was Tiger Direct i7 3770k for 250 or 270$ and that was sold out instantly.

Well alot of theme were but there were many good ones too. They sold out in 30min or less and thats at night after the new adds were being released. SSD deals were gone in 10-15min.

They also price match newegg and others (its just the 10% sales tax that keeps me away form them here)

One of those Intel 330 180GB SSDs would have been nice but they went quick.

[That Guy]

I guess I'm sorta after the sale, but if I had cash (I don't :*( ) I would probably have looked for a nice 23" monitor or memory or SSD deal.

[foxmobouser]

One of those Intel 330 180GB SSDs would have been nice but they went quick.

that one and the 240GB one were arround for about 2 day at Tiger and I have to give them a big + for limiting them to 1 per customer and a big "-" for price gauging as they were raising slowly prices on them by 10$ at a time.

[Goliath182]

I got all I wanted :D, Max Payne 3 with GTA4 for $30 and FF13 for $14

Me too, and I saw 3 on sale so I was pretty happy. At Target actually, I braved a really long line that took about two hours to get through.

No thanks.

[Goliath182]

No thanks.

It really wasn't too bad for saving 50% on all the stuff I got, plus they were on PS3 so its not like I can get them in a Steam sale.

[ET3D]

I ended up buying a 32GB Nexus 7 for the equivalent of about $280 (less than I expected to pay), and an Xbox + Kinect bundle for $470 (more than I had hoped, but it did include an extra controller). I'm already enjoying the Nexus 7, but haven't yet hooked up the Xbox.

[CDsDontBurn]

I'd rather pay the 50% more than stand in long lines full of people that can stampede over saving $2 on any item they want.

I guess that's true. Black Friday is actually downright dangerous. I bet there are 10+ casualties per major store (i.e. Best Buy, Wal Mart, Target, etc.) Although stores are getting better at crowd management. Still, people w/ mace, pepper spray, etc.... geez.

Don't know how it is in your area, but in my area (SoCal) EVERY store that I have been to for Black Friday takes it very seriously. I went to Wal Mart last year and it was extremely organized and flowed very well. You walked in, told the person what you wanted to get and they would tell you where to wait in line. (This was a open 24 hour wal mart). So I went there with some friends and we were shooting to get an Xbox 360 deal. Just had to wait in the plant nursery area for a while until midnight. Every hour or so they would come out and count the people and hand out tickets that guaranteed the product if you stayed in line. Got in, paid for it, got it. Just the line was a bit long but we were out by 1AM. I found the process very well thought out. Only downside is if you want an Xbox, big new TV, or whatever big items are on sale you need to bring a few people to wait in those lines for you.

Got it on Friday last week. Been using it ever since (after the 24 hour battery charge). That little SOB is awesome! Two dogs, a mangy cat plus a daughter that does not seem to understand the finer points of napkins and plates, that thing picks everything up. Plus, it's fun to watch it run, if you have a beer or two. Other than that, it's like watching paint dry.

I thought it was the dogs' jobs to pick up the things that the kids who don't understand napkins and plates drop. At least that's how it works for us.
