Can I order up 2 catfights, 5 shouting matches, 10 shopping cart rundowns and a greco roman wrestling match? Because that's usually what I get when I venture out with my wife at 4am the Friday after thanksgiving!!

oykib · 11-20-2014, 01:37 PM

I've seen chatter that some online spots are starting at midnight the morning of Thanksgiving (i.e. Wednesday night). I saw that in a message from the Microsoft store. Some other people have reported those kinds of messages from other sites.

Can I order abject consumerism and materialism?

I honestly think we're seeing the beginning of the end of black friday store rushes. The internet is the way to go for obvious reasons, and now the same deals available in store will be available via the internet, so there is no reason to have trampling and fist fights in person.

I think the stores themselves would benefit from making it a holiday and actually closing their stores Thursday AND Friday to let their workers enjoy their time with family for a change, rather than rushing around a store to stock shelves to overflowing for a greedy bunch of crazy people.

Desnudo · 11-20-2014, 03:36 PM

it fees like a really outdated thing, but yet people still show up

Lower labor costs for them on those big sales days too...

Sheeple.

I'm saying it now - if anyone here is all "I WENT OUT AT MIDNIGHT AFTER THANKSGIVING DINNER TO START WAITING IN LINE/SHOPPING" I'm going to mock the ever-loving shit out of them for being a sheeple.

Spouses...fine...you all can't control your wives, that's cool. But any of us. Yeah...SHEEPLE.

Solecismic · 11-20-2014, 05:57 PM

Now that most of the good deals on Amazon will be limited to prime customers (opening up the sales 30 minutes early), there's room for an internet retailer to make a splash this year.

MrBug708 · 11-20-2014, 06:44 PM

I'll probably wake up at 6 and go check out some sales.

Vince, Pt. II · 11-20-2014, 07:09 PM

I've got a friend who's one of the savviest shoppers I know. He'll scour the internet for hours to find the best deal, price, whatever. He goes out every Black Friday morning, despite the fact that he knows he can now find deals that are as good, if not better than, in store. To him it's an event, and he really enjoys it.

RainMaker · 11-21-2014, 01:06 AM

Is there going to be any big deals on the PS4 or Xbox One. I need to pick one up at some point.

MrBug708 · 11-21-2014, 07:46 AM

Microsoft Store Black Friday

Mizzou B-ball fan · 11-21-2014, 04:19 PM

Amazing that you can pick up both consoles for cheap with two games this holiday season. Both of the consoles are now sub-$300 when you factor in the value of the included games.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 11-21-2014, 04:35 PM

dola

TV deals are getting crazy too. Picked up a 40" TV for $119 today from Wal-Mart.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 11-21-2014, 04:57 PM

$20 off both Disney Infinity 2.0 Starter Packs this weekend at GameStop (Brave or Marvel Super Heroes). May have to make the plunge to upgrade. My kids have been wanting the new version.

Huh I guess I haven't seen any deals like that for ps 4 .

I don't think the PS4's bundles go live for another week or so. There'll be two of 'em out there. One with GTA V and The Last Of Us Remastered, the other with Lego Batman 3 and Little Big Planet 3. $400 for each, IIRC.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 11-23-2014, 08:19 PM

Couple new bundles. PS4 with Lego Batman, LBP3, and a game for $449. 3DS XL bundle, but no price yet on that one.

Walmart's Cyber Monday sale includes a great PS4 bundle and mysterious 3DS XL sale - Yahoo Games

So this says currently out of stock, is that just because it hasn't gone on sale yet?

Easy Mac · 11-25-2014, 07:22 AM

If you have windows 8 or a windows phone, microsoft is giving away 100 free albums. Just download the music deals app and you can get the mp3 albums for free.

That's actually a Cyber Monday deal, though there's a rumor they may open it up for the weekend. At worst, it will be available on Monday.

kcchief19 · 11-25-2014, 11:23 AM

I'm doing some work with a major retailer, and I'm stunned they are expecting a bigger day on Thanksgiving than on Black Friday. Absolutely crazy.

With mobile devices accounting for a big chunk of it?
(saw an article about that a few days ago)

NobodyHere · 11-25-2014, 08:04 PM

Well Gamestop has confirmed that Tales of Xillia 2 will be $20 on friday. So that's at least one game I'm buying.

This is ... better than I anticipated.

Arles · 11-26-2014, 02:43 PM

Anyone know of a deal for the roku 3, 2 or streaming stick? Looking for a cheap option for a TV upstairs.

Really?

Cool

Question: Once I click "get it for free" and "yes" to switch to "music" app, do I have to do anything else?

I think my "music" app is screwed up...I just get a red screen and then it disappears away.

Bestbuy has the Fire TV Stick on sale right now. Though I don't have any experience with it.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/amazon-f...&skuId=9999119

My only experience has been with the Chromecast and that has been pretty limited so far. Several deals out there

Chromecast

DaddyTorgo · 11-26-2014, 03:03 PM

Ah yes - now to troubleshoot why it won't let me create an xbox live account so i can DL the music.

I got as far as it asking me to install the music app before I decided it want worth it.

There's some decent albums on there.

For some reason it's not letting me create the xbox account I need though.

cartman · 11-26-2014, 03:11 PM

Are you using Windows 8? It should just be your normal account you login with.

Yes, but when I click "sign in" I keep getting an error. Tried restarting the app etc. (per the windows troubleshooting tips on the error), but no dice.

Thanks, posted a poll.

Scoobz0202 · 11-26-2014, 04:55 PM

I picked up that fire stick from best buy yesterday. Set it up and all I did was watch a few episodes of Parks and Rec on Netflix but it performed well. With HBO Go coming early next year and having Netflix and Amazon Prime it's a no brainer at 25 bucks if you ask me

mckerney · 11-26-2014, 05:59 PM

Titanfall on PC - $4.99

mckerney · 11-27-2014, 02:21 AM

Was hoping for a deal on Super Mario 3D World but it doesn't look like it's going to be on sale anywhere.

Fidatelo · 11-27-2014, 09:01 AM

Yeah I'm looking for a Roku 3 as well but I haven't seen any sales yet. I think the wife would prefer an Apple TV and I was hoping to be able to better justify the Roku by saving a few bucks (I have a hunch she doesn't care about things like Plex).

Izulde · 11-27-2014, 09:46 AM

I always head out to at least one store on Black Friday myself. Like Vince P2's friend, I consider it an event, and for me, it's one of the best holiday traditions (In fact, it's my third favorite holiday of the year).

claphamsa · 11-27-2014, 10:13 AM

Petsmart has litter at 60% off, I buy a years worth every black friday!

VPI97 · 11-27-2014, 01:27 PM

Amazon has a flash deal that just popped up. Their Black Friday XBox One Assassin's Creed bundle + 12 month XBox Live card + 2 extra games (Zoo Tycoon & Max:The Curse of Brotherhood) for $328. Only good for the next hour and a half (or until all are claimed).

Considering the Assassin's Creed Black Friday bundle was a pretty good deal at $329 and this flash deal just throws in 12 months of XBox Live + two other games for a dollar less, I though this was a steal.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 11-27-2014, 02:45 PM

PS4 deal with Lego Batman 3 and LBP3 is live over at BH Photo if you don't want to wait until tomorrow for the rest of the retailers.
