Wait... you're already in line for this? Repped for the effort, but I hope you decide to turn back. It's not really worth waiting thirty hours for.

Edit: On second glance, some reasonable deals to be had... but still. Enjoy your Thanksgiving, man. :P

{snatch}
Thx

I Think i'm going to go score that "MAJOR NAME BRAND LCD HDTV". Sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

[MrxBiggles]

Can you still list the items on the ad? :P It's hard to see some a lot of the scans.
Repped for the effort

[superbad]

SOME PEOPLE HERE ARE SO DAMN unappreciative. it pisses me off..

the guy posted the deals he thought were the best ones, then proceeded to add pictures then you want some more???

jesus christ. get out of SD :shake:

[BackAgain]

You leave first. Thanks! :wave:

Thanks for the pics OP.

[cheap@ss]

anyone's thoughts on the q8200 combo deal? looking to upgrade to quad core, but is this worth it? TIA

[ddark]

thanks a lot

anyone's thoughts on the q8200 combo deal? looking to upgrade to quad core, but is this worth it? TIA

The Q8200 combo was $129 only 2 weeks ago.

[kdawg954]

there is a color ad posted in the Best Buy thread on the hot deals section

has the fry's ad on the last page of the thread

[sdlordz]

i'd rather just buy an old q6600. the q8200 is $180 on the egg; if you're into some serious gaming or overclocking that ECS board is not a good choice at all. the ECS board will probably only net you $15 on craigslist/ebay. bottom line: not worth waiting overnight in the cold for

[IS350ENOUGH]

thanks for the ads

[cheap@ss]

Thanks for the tips, and the ads. Keep in mind this is the renton ad and hopefully the bay area fry's ad will be different or the prices are cheaper.haha

[proro1974]

one cpu mobo combo? they must have their normal 8 page weekly ad coming out on friday morning because this ad is pretty weak.

[sitewontload]

Thanks to the OP (hardcore effort!!) and the person who posted the PDF.......

However..... the deals SUCK. Office Depot's laptop is 100x better. I will admit though that the SATA DVD rom looks nice.

[daveymark]

thanks OP

anyone's thoughts on the q8200 combo deal? looking to upgrade to quad core, but is this worth it? TIA

The $129 deal even came with a "better" ECS motherboard. The G31T-M only has two RAM slots and reduced audio. Although it does seem to have a IDE which the G33 did not include if needed (Sata only). Might want to wait for the Saturday deals to see what happens.

[bestco]

Once again, Frys doesn't disappoint!!

[sitewontload]

Anyone else upset about the ad? It's disgusting. Last year Fry's OWNED BF. This year... nothing. Granted, the economy sucks but I still expected much more from Fry's.

I will say though, if the $388 tv is the Emprex 32", then get it... its an awesome TV. I got it at the After-Christmas sale for $397 and use it as my computer monitor and tv in the bedroom. It's great!

PS: Toshiba sucks. They had a very nice Compaq laptop for $298 last year.... what the @$@# is this Toshiba junk?

[thund3rcat]

Rep for the ads.

If Sacramento are similar, looks like a disappointing BF... I've been at fry's for the last 3 years. This streak will likely end...

[anch]

this is pretty bad.
/wrist

[Totalfixation]

Last years Emprex 32 Inch was $377 kind of sad sale to be honest. I am only looking forward for the toshiba laptop and Samsung Laser Printer.

Hint: It's not Friday yet. :)

[eugenile]

yea 32" last year was $377, WTH.. ill go if i have people waiting in line just to get small stuff..

[justwantmymoney]

I am guessing the $99 monitor is this:
monitor (http://shop2.frys.com/product/5559290)

Does anyone thing the fall in the US$ value is finally catching up to us? (even though it has recovered a bit)

[deekortiz3]

A couple things that interest me on the ad.
I might go some time on black friday and see what 's left.
But nothing is really worth going super early for.

[ratforker]

Once again, Frys doesn't disappoint!!
what are you smoking?

[justwantmymoney]

some of these things are online now for purchase (no not the $299 laptop) like the printers and ram.
Frys.com is very slow though...

[thund3rcat]

Trying to remember some of the best deal from last year:

Cooler Master case - free AR
Antec 500w psu - 7$ AR
Last year the 100 DVD-R was 5$ AR... this year 5$ for a pack of 50. ;- /

WEAK

[sitewontload]

Here is last years ad (PDF). It OWNED.

http://www.mediafire.com/?2q3ynmymydd

I wonder if Frys is going to have secret deals, or if the rumors of the Saturday deals being better are true?

[jmnumata]

This is the 32" "Major Name Brand LCD"
http://shop4.frys.com/product/5562150?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
SAMSUNG LN32A330

(If you zoom into the ad it gives the item numbers below the items, which can be searched on the website)

Just because you don't see anything you want doesn't mean there are no great deals.
The $388 is a "Major Name Brand" (most likley Samsung), I doubt Emprex is even a name brand. That's definately a very good deal if it's indeed Samsung.
The 42" Panasonic Plasma for $598 is a smoking deal.
Try to find me a 21.6" LCD for under $100 without rebate (last year Frys had the same size TV for $140 after a $50 rebate), if this is not a great deal I don't know what else is.
There are also a few Laser printer/coplier deals with the lowest prices I've seen.
Just to name a few above...Although may not the best BF ads from Frys, but still easily trash other competitions this year.


what are you smoking?

obviously you and I aren't smoking the same stuff.

[allanak]

Any thoughts on the "major brand" 52" 1080p 120hz LCD fir $1198? Looks like the item is 5618341 and I can't find any matches searching frys.com for it. The only 52" 120hz TVs on there are a Sony KDL52W4100 ($2099 at Frys now, $1822 at Amazon) and two Samsung LN52A650 ($2099 at Frys now, $2059 on Amazon) and LN52A750 ($1999).

Rumors of LG possibly in the mix, but don't quote me on that. I've heard of massive shipments of Samsung panels to Fry's locations.

Anyway, a two page teaser? If Friday's supposed to be a one pager, is it going to be a supplemental?

Edit: I can confirm it's an LG. Specs includ 3 HDMI inputs, Dolby Digital decoder, and LG SimpLink... don't know what model it is, though.

[ratforker]

anyone on the frys website can you find out if the camera is on there at the right price?

[suitelife123]

why is frys website so freaking SLOW!?

[DanER40]

This ad is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!!

[sanjeeva7]

why is frys website so freaking SLOW!?

It's called the SD effect. :D

The Panasonic TH-42PX80U is a great deal for $598 as it's $700 everywhere else.

http://electronics.pricegrabber.com/plasma-lcd-televisions/m/63300938/no_zip=1/qlty=n/st=sort/sort_type=price

[curiousity]

If this is the exact model for this price, then count me in to be waiting in line. That is a deal of the century for me, i was looking at Circuit city's Toshiba $449...but 388... DAMN! I'm in forget the toshiba...

SAMSUNG LN32A330

Also it is a good deal for me as it will be my first HDTV and the price cannot be beat...I am upgrading from a 17" no name barnd CRT :( lol so its all good

[curiousity]

That panasonic is also very tempting...

[proro1974]

the anniversary sale was better than this by far.

[jaesung]

i can confirm that 52" 120hz 1080p is a LG (scarlet ?)...
i remember seeing load of lg scarlet 52" on floor few days ago.

i can confirm its LG because Nevada Fry's ad actually has "LG" instead of "MAJOR BRAND"

i think this is the best tv deal in BF.
(yes im in las vegas atm D; )

[curiousity]

Can anyone confirm which name brand is it?
I am really hoping its this one...

SAMSUNG LN32A330

[jaesung]

sorry.. it shows "MAJOR BRAND" for 32"

[allanak]

Edit: I can confirm it's an LG. Specs includ 3 HDMI inputs, Dolby Digital decoder, and LG SimpLink... don't know what model it is, though.
Curious as to how you can confirm. I believe LG only has two TVs that meets 52" 1080p and 120hz - 52LG60 and 52LG70. However both of those have 4 HDMI ports, not 3. Three rear and one in the side.

yes it shows "LG 52" 1080p 120hz LCD HDTV" $1198
for Las Vegas NV fry's ad.
i wish i could upload pic.. but hotel doesnt come with printer/scanner =/

u might wanna google nv fry's ad

[JoeAbdel]

yes it's an lg, look at the ad! it says lg! hahaha =]

farking best tv price out there!

also it says the sony is 1500 before savings with 500 savings....does that mean $1,000 price tag on the sony?

[Sariel]

Glad to see them up, but they are a little lame...

OC Reg should have a 8 pager Fri AM. Unfortunately, we probably won't see it online, as that person who posts them ALWAYS goes on vacation!!!!
:facepalm:

I was looking at the high res shots...apparently they're not the same. Anyone have good enough vision to read the item #? :P

edit: nevermind, found the LA Times ad

for which?

[madridsta229]

haha i love the 'major brand' advertising on the tv's!

nothing too interesting, though i'd love to get 'eastern promises' on blu for 9$, but i'll hold off for amazon to bail me out there :) thanks for the scans :wave:

Sorry, Fry's might have gotten it wrong then when listing the ports. Perhaps they meant 3x HDMI in the rear. In any case, NV ad apparently confirms that it's an LG as well.

Oh, and for those of you wondering what the 32" Major Brand LCD is... I can't imagine it's anything besides the Samsung. I mean, that's what they currently have on the site at that price. (You guys realize this one is available for purchase right now, right?)

[waqman]

It's called the SD effect. :D

The Panasonic TH-42PX80U is a great deal for $598 as it's $700 everywhere else.

http://electronics.pricegrabber.com/plasma-lcd-televisions/m/63300938/no_zip=1/qlty=n/st=sort/sort_type=price

I got so excited when I saw that deal only to go downstairs and look at my local newspaper (Atlanta Journal Constitution) and we have a different TV in place of the Panasonic! Its a Samsung 50" Plasma for $898 #5776412. So far I think that is the only difference in the the ad I see posted here and the ad I got. I guess they do have regional differences...

Edit: On the first page of the ad scan, there is a 7" portable dvd player for $48, the Atlanta area ad has an an LG 8" portable dvd player/digital picture frame (it stands up to display like a picture frame) for $48

Also, instead of the Panansonic DVD receiver for $299, my ad has Cobra radar detector for $27.99. Instead of the Rival Slow cooker and the oscillating heater, my ad has a Dyson DC-17 vacuum cleaner for $199.99

[Dazzler]

LOL!!

this was the ad they were holding back on?

[nopey23]

I'm looking at the ad now - the LG 52" is up top at about $1500... the name brand 52" 1080p/120hz is still below, but no name included... fwiw (chicago area)

[JayVee7777]

In the SD ad, there's 3 TVs listed vertically in the lower half of one page:

40" Samsung LCD for $798
52" LG LCD for $1198
42" Panasonic Plasma for $598

[Brynn]

About time :lol: Thanks!

[doomtoall]

where is the 5-9am portion of this ad? It can't be only 2 pages. Thats really bad if it is. Last year it was 9 pages long!!!

[fuccaneer]

Rep for the ads.

If Sacramento are similar, looks like a disappointing BF... I've been at fry's for the last 3 years. This streak will likely end...

I'm looking at the Sacramento ad right now...almost exactly the same.
The only difference I've noticed is the "Major Name Brand 52" 1080P 120Hz LCD HDTV" is listed as an LG (#5618341).

[AK_47]

Will the panasonic deal go online like the 32" samsung deal? Anyone with previous experience? I'm looking for 42" Plasma Panny for $620 or less.... PM me if you know where to get one, will rep.

[chasemyaccord]

Any deal that goes online will be a crapshoot cuz the damn fry's servers are gonna be overloaded anyway...it's already overloaded as of this moment...

Maybe it is a special BF model like ConsumerReports talked about: http://blogs.consumerreports.org/electronics/2008/11/black-friday-hd.html?resultPageIndex=1&resultIndex=2&searchTerm=LN40A500

[lalakersfan88]

there is nothing eye popping about this year's fry's ad. i am kinda disappointed. but oh well, i'll enjoy my thanksgiving instead of waiting in lines this year. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

[tawfiqmp]

This is stupid, I don't think I'll be waiting in line this year at Fry's. I really wanted a 10 MP camera but that doesn't look possible with these horrible doorbusters.

[yuugotserved]

thanks op! will some items be online??

is the Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 & ECS G31T-M mobo 158.99 after savings worth it?

[h0mi]

Maybe I'm missing something but here in San Diego I only see 2 pages of fry's ads. Did anyone reading this get more than that in the UT today? Back of the sports page and in section A is all I see. No 4 page insert, no nothing (else).

[h0mi]

Hint: It's not Friday yet. :)

There are people in line at assorted best buys already and have been since yesterday.

[MPhim]

haha remember when a 1TB hard drive was $299? Wasn't that just earlier this year...

[jdmgreg]

The site is super slow and i just want some blu-ray's. BF this year will only be appreciated by my blu-ray player...

[TJK915]

The Dallas ad is here:

http://shopping.dallasnews.com/ROP/ads.aspx?advid=2519

The $299 laptop looks interesting. The Dallas ad is usually the same as the Fishers, IN ad and I think Chicago.

[ilikebike]

Here are the 2 pages from the LA Times:
http://latimes.p2ionline.com/shoppingchannel/content/index.aspx?webstoryid=15743716&AdvName=Frys%20Electronics&area=ROP&type=adv
http://latimes.p2ionline.com/shoppingchannel/content/index.aspx?webstoryid=15743704&AdvName=Frys%20Electronics&area=ROP&type=adv

These are both good for the SoCal area.

Fry's generally does 2 page ads on Thursday then an 8 page on Friday, BUT this year will only be 1 additional page on Friday and then an 8 page on Saturday.

The "Major Name Brand" TV is a Samsung
The Sony TV prices are before savings, so the prices are $749 for the 40" and $999 for the 46"
Quantities on the Laptop and 21" LCD should be pretty good for each store.
Really good deals on all the printers as well.

[compL33Tazn]

Is it true that Fry's deliberately made a poor Friday selection so they can have "Black Friday" sales on the weekend?

[aohus]

hah i was right about some of the deals. check out here

Why should we trust you??? So far this really bites! No real CPU/MB combos...seems that there should be more.

[Zclyh3]

Did you not read ilikebike's post? The Friday ad will be Friday only one page. Saturday ad 8 page Saturday only (correct me if I'm wrong), and Sunday ad will be until Tuesday.

[compL33Tazn]

Did you not read ilikebike's post? The Friday ad will be Friday only one page. Saturday ad 8 page Saturday only (correct me if I'm wrong), and Sunday ad will be until Tuesday.

So is it wise to not line up today, rather line up tomorrow for Saturday's sales?

[Zclyh3]

So is it wise to not line up today, rather line up tomorrow for Saturday's sales?

Well, given the fact that Friday's ad is only one day, there "could" be some kick ass deals since it is BLACK Friday. Saturday is more of a huge overall sale with much more selection. I think ilikebike is the best person to ask.

[adfx]

Spoke to some other Fry's employees who have confirmed this. Saturday will have a 8 page ad.

[Chrs]

Historically, Fry's 8-page ad for BF usually comes out on Friday.

[carbonfiber]

thx op, but so far the the 2 pages ad blows

[HBK069]

is that toshiba lap top (with dual 2 core) any good, in terms of pricing...

[Zclyh3]

Sorry, what time on Friday?

lol. You must be a noob.

The ads come out on the Friday papers. Only problem is that because it wasn't leaked this year, the ONLY way to find out is if you actually get the paper ON Friday morning when they actually deliver them. Hell, the two years I've done BF at Fry's, I went straight to the newspaper warehouse where they were actually BUILDING the newspaper together and then handing them off to deliverers.

The problem here is that by the time you actually find out what's on sale, the line at Fry's is already pretty damn long. While Fry's is known for their plentiful supply during BF, it's up to you to decide whether or not you want to brave the cold and actually camp out. Some people have gone in at noon and get lucky for certain items. But if you actually want everything you want to get, I'd say get in line soon and very soon. It's get crazier and crazier every year. Two years ago, people started lining up at 1030pm. Last year it was 830pm. THIS year I don't even know...6pm? 5pm?

The only way this works is if you get a friend to stay in line while you go and actually get the paper. Once you do get the paper, that's when you actually find out what's on sale for Black Friday. ilikebike has indicated that Friday is a one day only sale. WHICH means that you might have to camp out TWICE and get the paper TWICE for both Friday's one page ad and Saturday's 8 page ad.

For those actually waiting for the paper to be delivered, unless you have someone in line like I've indicated, it's probably too late by the time you decide to stay in line. You can't stay in line and get the paper ad at the same time. What could happen is someone near you gets the paper and they let you take a look at it.

The biggest problem with BF at Fry's is the fact that if ads aren't leaked, you essentially don't know what's actually ON sale. AND, you can't do it alone. You need friends or teams. If you want to get something, stand in line now, and have a friend get the paper for you later. But when you actually see the ad and realize you don't want anything, then it's time to go home because you've just wasted some time standing in line.

thx op, but so far the the 2 pages ad blows

This is just a preview ad. Like I said, the real ad is tomorrow + Saturday.

[JuryDuty]

anybody been able to successful buy something off of frys.com?

Not today, but last year I got several of their Black Friday offers online. If you can get through to look at the ones with rebates, you'll see that several of them aren't one day only. For instance, Nero 9 is good until 12/4, I think. So no hurry on that. Order at your leisure rather than get stressed about it.

[ghitz]

lol. You must be a noob.

The ads come out on the Friday papers. Only problem is that because it wasn't leaked this year, the ONLY way to find out is if you actually get the paper ON Friday morning when they actually deliver them. Hell, the two years I've done BF at Fry's, I went straight to the newspaper warehouse where they were actually BUILDING the newspaper together and then handing them off to deliverers.

The problem here is that by the time you actually find out what's on sale, the line at Fry's is already pretty damn long. While Fry's is known for their plentiful supply during BF, it's up to you to decide whether or not you want to brave the cold and actually camp out. Some people have gone in at noon and get lucky for certain items. But if you actually want everything you want to get, I'd say get in line soon and very soon. It's get crazier and crazier every year. Two years ago, people started lining up at 1030pm. Last year it was 830pm. THIS year I don't even know...6pm? 5pm?

The only way this works is if you get a friend to stay in line while you go and actually get the paper. Once you do get the paper, that's when you actually find out what's on sale for Black Friday. ilikebike has indicated that Friday is a one day only sale. WHICH means that you might have to camp out TWICE and get the paper TWICE for both Friday's one page ad and Saturday's 8 page ad.

For those actually waiting for the paper to be delivered, unless you have someone in line like I've indicated, it's probably too late by the time you decide to stay in line. You can't stay in line and get the paper ad at the same time. What could happen is someone near you gets the paper and they let you take a look at it.

The biggest problem with BF at Fry's is the fact that if ads aren't leaked, you essentially don't know what's actually ON sale. AND, you can't do it alone. You need friends or teams. If you want to get something, stand in line now, and have a friend get the paper for you later. But when you actually see the ad and realize you don't want anything, then it's time to go home because you've just wasted some time standing in line.

Cool, thanks for the info. This is the reason why I asked and you answered it.
"The problem here is that by the time you actually find out what's on sale, the line at Fry's is already pretty damn long. "

I'm hoping the ad will be eventually leaked.

[sunscream]

Anyone know the model of the Sony 46in?

[manuvns]

does anyone know haw many $299 laptops will they have in stock ? If it's around 50 per store it might be worth standing in line .

[dancor40243]

can anyone confirm i can get the samsung camera online?

[TheBDub]

First of all
That 32" TV for 388 is either a Samsung LN32A300 or a LN32A450.
That 52" 120hz is a 52" LG60. Good tv, kinda sucky black levels, but for 1199, i may be in for one.

Anyone know the model of the Sony 46in?
Sony is the S4100 46"

[jdmgreg]

Fry's website is getting hammered. Anyone successful yet on ordering anything? I have no Fry's in my area. :(

[xbatis]

What's the model number for the LG 52 1080p?

is the 52LG70?

[ilikebike]

Sorry if there's some confusion, but I never said it would be a different ad than on Thursday. Usually on Friday they'll have lots of what's on Thursdays ads, plus a bit more (or less this year?).

The 8 pager is reserved for Saturday, not Friday like in previous years.

Quantity is pretty good compared to other retailers. Most stores should have 40 or more of those laptops, around same stock for the TVs as well.

We had people camped outside our store since 6pm yesterday :p

[nhosg0604]

Thanks for the ad, I find couple things that interest me at Fry's

[kengi2]

Toshiba laptop at Fry's doesnt suck, I have that 250 from Bestbuy 2 years ago, at its still running fine. I even upgraded the processor. This lappie is already a dual core. sure its not core duo or even core2duo. But it will be great for old games,internet, a kid.

FYI 11am Fry's in Woodland Hills area had zero people. I had a friend drive by.

[noodlecups]

Hey guys, my main item to shop for this year is a PC bundle to replace a Idontevenrememberhowold Compaq bundle I have from years ago. Is the Lenovo package any good? I would like to be able to mulitask between programs and not have any problems and be able to add more memory, new video card etc. or do you think other stores have better bundles on BF?

[jdmgreg]

That pisses me off! Fry's had Planet Earth (blu-ray) for $37.99 and just sold out....as soon as the site started working for me. :(

[genester]

I am guessing the $99 monitor is this:
monitor (http://shop2.frys.com/product/5559290)

Does anyone thing the fall in the US$ value is finally catching up to us? (even though it has recovered a bit)
Can't be the Hyundai, its 22" and the ad says 21.6". I searched the item number under the ad, and this monitor comes up http://shop4.frys.com/product/5780052;jsessionid=En-pVi5nb8hvui1qEayGlQ**.node3?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RS LT_PG

Sony is the S4100 46"

Why wouldn't it be an LN32A330 like the one online right now? The specs of the "major name brand" online matches the A330 not the A300 (although sometimes you can't necessarily trust that shoddy website).

[liquid_celica]

I've been to the last 3 BF Fry's.

Last year sucked.
The year before was slightly better.
The first year was best.

As far as my experience goes, this year looks to be very very promising. Especially the 32" samsung and the toshiba laptop. Generally, those $300 laptops were either GQ or compaq (last year). Having a good branded laptop for 300 is great.

Though... the front page BYOC stuff isn't too great though. We'll definitely have to wait until page 5-6 are released to know more.

Camera deals sorta blow too. I was really expecting the sd1100 to drop lower than that. The dell deal i got back in oct. for the sd1100is makes this one look like a total rip off.

Anyways, that's my 2 cents. See you guys in line...maybe!

Well, it could be the 330, but the 330 has speakers on the side, and the 450 doesn't. Also, that picture of those 450's stacked look nice. In for a few.

[chasemyaccord]

If those 450's are actually $388, then I'll be making a trip to Fry's just to attempt and get that one too.

Is the only way to confirm this is when the doors are opened?

I think so. Im still indecisive between the Panasonic 42in and the Samsung 32in.
Im not sure which one i should get, since im an avid gamer.

Do you think the Panasonic will burn-in?

[jayeskreezy]

this ad is nice...too bad we don't have fry's here....will any of these things be available online?

[pinsomniac]

Quantities on the Laptop and 21" LCD should be pretty good for each store.
Good enough on both that I can run in an hour or so after opening? I camped out last year for the laptop, was probably 50th or so in line... ran to the laptop section, and they still ran out. Monitors went pretty quickly, too.

And thanks for the confirmation on the supplemental. Will keep an eye out. Perhaps Fry's will save the day, after all.

Does anybody know what games are included in the XBox 360 Pro Bundle in the Dallas ad? It seems that this is the best deal on an XBox 360 this year, but I don't really want to buy it unless the games are decent ones that I can sell to recover some of my money.

[garycoleman]

I don't think that 32" TV is a Samsung 32a330 since it doesn't show up on the Fry's website. It's either a 450 or 300

[liquid_celica]

Yes, but not at that price. So, no.

And the "jokes" about george bush killing BF is retarded. He didn't force people to spend outside their means, told banks to hand out sub-prime loans, cause your parents/yourself to get fired and so on and so on. I'm not saying he's a good president either...he just didn't kill your BF.

3 peeps in line at the Austin TX store at aprox 3:30 pm.

the 42 Plasma Pany doesn't have the words "Built-in HD" on the ad, is that a concern?

[lakerforever24]

is the 32 inch samsung $399 1080p???? if you're in soCAL PM me so we can work together? anaheim or fountain valley (next to I5)

doubt it but at 32" you'll need magic eyes to tell the difference between the two.

[pinsomniac]

Can someone more familiar with Fry's look this over?

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=596XFAX1

It's basically the Thanksgiving Day teaser, but it specifically states "STARTS TODAY" at the top, which seems to indicate that there will be no other products on sale outside of what is listed on the teaser.

If that's the case, Black Friday is officially a bust for me.

[simplywalking]

DFW area frys BF ads 4 pages total (http://shopping.dallasnews.com/ROP/ads.aspx?advid=2519&adid=3923912&cat=6106)

ROFL!!

and yes, the Planet Earth Blu-Ray sellout sucks.

[kontayjus]

Does anyone know if Fry's usually has $2.99 / $3.99 DVD sales every Black Friday like at BB and CC? Thankss!

[Sariel]

Almost every year they put out the Thursday ad, and then a 4 (LA TIMES) or 8 (OC REG) pager on Friday morning...

[IS350ENOUGH]

well its official i order the 46' sony s4100 hdtv from frys.com

[3dOptics]

The Nero 9 upgrade rebate says: "Purchase Nero 9 at a participating retail store" and "a copy of the store cash register receipt...". Does that mean the rebate is not valid for online purchases from frys.com?

"The original user's manual title page from the previous version of qualifing titles". Does that mean I have to cut the page out of the manual or can I just make a photocopy of it?

They list "Pinnacle Studio, Studio Plus, or Studio Ultimate" as qualifying titles, does that apply to only the latest version of the software or would earlier version be fine? I have the retail version of Pinnacle Studio 8 I assume that would qualify?


Thanks slickdeals.

[ghitz]

So what do you guys think, will there be any other CPU/MB combos tomorrow?

[leoftw]

propped you for the ad but to be honest last years was way better. I got a q6600 for pretty cheap , HD's , a whole bunch of crap . This years sucks to be honest either that or we're spoiled.

i didnt even see the fry's ad last year til after i came from CC at 7am. they had about 10 cpu/mobo combos. last year was good. i need a new board/cpu/psu to complete the cheapo pc i'm trying to build. i have the $20 9700LED from the anniversary sale, the rocketfish case from BB, OCZ RAM and a couple 8600GTS, couple of DVD burners, some hard drives that i have lying around. So when I saw the ad this morning and there was the one combo in it it was a major letdown. Which is why I'm hoping that either in tomorrow's paper or saturday's there will be something worthwhile. Otherwise it will be have to be the Egg.

[professorman]

So, I am guessing there are no online deals for frys?

Just print out a copy of the website receipt and include it. The rebate form always says that, but I've always gotten my rebate from nero in the past. Also, unless they specify a a version number any retail version will do.

[frankR]

May have already been posted, but here is where I go for Fry's ads:

http://newspaperads.mercurynews.com/ROP/ads.aspx?advid=32664

[tyfin85]

Just because you don't see anything you want doesn't mean there are no great deals.
The $388 is a "Major Name Brand" (most likley Samsung), I doubt Emprex is even a name brand. That's definately a very good deal if it's indeed Samsung.
The 42" Panasonic Plasma for $598 is a smoking deal.
Try to find me a 21.6" LCD for under $100 without rebate (last year Frys had the same size TV for $140 after a $50 rebate), if this is not a great deal I don't know what else is.
There are also a few Laser printer/coplier deals with the lowest prices I've seen.
Just to name a few above...Although may not the best BF ads from Frys, but still easily trash other competitions this year.




obviously you and I aren't smoking the same stuff.I'm going to agree with Bestco on this one. Not the BEST Frys BF ad, but it's comparable to last year's and it does beat (even if marginally) other deals going around. In fact, I think if they had the exact same deals they did last year, people would still complain. All of your expectations are so high because all the other deals aren't "that great"

I'll be grabbing a PS3 from Frys. 2 movies, extra controller, and remote easily beats the Game & Movie deal everyone else is doing IMO.

[truongvoky]

Just a head up for those who was not sure that Fry's Ads descrition :"MAJOR NAME BRAND 32" LCD HDTV #5562150) cause of the servers crash or other reason.

I want to confirm it is a Samsung 3 SERRIES 32" LCD Monitor Model LN32A330 (PLU# 5562150) for orginal price on the box at $599.99.

I was at Fry's on Wednesday to check out the palletes that they put out for Black Friday and where the sale items will be in the store and did see and wrote down (mostly TVs) the item # along with descriptions...etc... as I predicted and posted in Slick Deals on another thread yesterday.

Fry's Ads sometimes very stupid that I see for year on their weekly Ads. They just listed the item # and sometimes the brand name but not the model # (which sometimes give me hard time to do price matching...etc....and also want to know exact model that they have since not all items are available online as in stores!)

This is more crazy on Black Friday Ads since many TV items listed as Major Name Brand >>> Who that Fry's think is in their "MAJOR" category ?!?!?

Anyway, For Your Information!

Cheers.

[ghitz]

Still no confirmation that there will be another Fry's as coming out tomorrow.

[Totalfixation]

Still no confirmation that there will be another Fry's as coming out tomorrow.

Pretty hard to believe when friday has always been a 6 page ad day for the longest time.

[garycoleman]

I bet you Fry's will have more TV's on sale that aren't advertised. You have to go there to check them out.

[EasyGuy]

This better be the best fry's sales ever, for them to keep it so secretive.

[doomtoall]

Last year frys did well as I bought 2 tvs from them. A 32 inch and a 52 inch sony. This year the deals all seem like busts!

[doomtoall]

very odd. All the fry's black friday items went back up to original prices???? anyone else see that?

[EasyGuy]

If fry's is trying to keep this a secret its pretty dumb. People have to see what is for sale before they will commit. If i have seen something good in the ads,i might feel compelled to wake up early tomorrow and drag my sleepy butt into their store. Now i'll just go to somewhere that i know for sure things are on sale.

[ghitz]

Do you guys think that if they have a good cpu/mb combo this will sell out quick?

[lethalsvt]

Sale coming up online now

[juowens]

I'm trying to figure out about the 32" samsung and was looking for pricing.
If its the LN32A300 model then you might get a kick out of this link (http://www.kitchengadgetry.com/kitchen/gadgets/samsung-high-definition-lcd-ln32a300-p-9322.html?sc=fp&productid=9322&channelid=FROOG), check out the specs and price :rofl: :lmao:

Sale coming up online now

what makes you say that I'm not seeing anything special yet?

[doomtoall]

i highly doubt it. I see nothing coming up. Like i said earlier, I think they now raised prices. Bait and switch right now!

[lethalsvt]

Its odd...i was looking at the R50 speakers and the price keeps going up and down. Changed like 3 times already!

I ordered and have confirmation of the 42" Panasonic Plasma for 598, laptop for 299, and a few small things. Just cant get the damn speakers to stay at the right price! Odd..

[shopAlcoholic]

Fry's was my last holdout but this ad is miserable.

Case is point: 50PZ85U panasonic plasma was $1399 + free panasonic bluray player 2 week ago for the regular Fri-Mon sale.

Currently, it is $2399. LOL.

Similar issues at Bestbuy, sears etc. Deals are somewhat warm at Walmart but the stuff there is mostly lowend.

I don't know what strategy these retailers are using. Maybe they are playing a game of chicken with the consumers. Or maybe they threw in the towel and are ready to have 20-30% revenue decrease this quarter. In that case, let all stay at home and conserve cash for the tsunami that's coming.

Anyway, SD saved me a lot of time and reach consensus that the deals this year are not worth thinking about, much less swipe my card.

Or maybe retailers know that simply the name "Black Friday" will get many Americans to the stores. And they're waiting to do some major discounting closer to xmas, when it might have a bigger effect.

Anyone see what model for 52" 'name brand' 1080P 120hz LCD? :) I'm trying to figure out whether or not to start driving!

[Whatatay]

Not being one to stand in line, I went to Frys about 5:45 AM. The entire lot and parking lots around the store were completly filled. I figured any great deals would be gone 1000 times over, and any deals that were left wouldn't be worth standing in the check out line for. I just went home.

It's the LG Scarlet 52LG60. My wife scored on in the TV line. I waited in the laptop line and was disappointed by a quick sell out. Not the sheer quantity of deals this year compared to last.

[CloudS]

wow worse black Friday sale ever.... Thursday and Friday ads were the SAME

[thund3rcat]

Yes, onto Saturday.

[marg_fan]

Any reports on those Vison 21.6" monitors yet? I'd like to know if it has a DVI or HDMI port or has speakers.

[Xcellerator]

Holy crap was Fry's crazy in Houston, TX. Laptops and TVs went extremely fast.
Left with nothing. :(
Hoping Saturday's ad is good. :/

I'm hoping Left 4 Dead is on sale. I missed the Amazon $20 deal after LITERALLY having in my cart and was the idiot to not to complete the sale immediately. Too busy talking to my friend at the time....was OOS in 5 mins.

$20 is all about that game is worth...seriously.

[beythain]

I purchased the i.connect 4 port usb hub for 5 - 5 MIR = FAR. I realized after I went online to retrieve the rebate that it goes to City of Industry. Now what is bought is bought, and I have to deal with this rebate. On the form, it wants the serial number. If you go to the back of the usb hub, they certainly don't make it clear (I'm sure it's a great way to deny the rebate). For me, it has S/N: AB123 1234567. These two are obviously not the real S/N in case they are unique, but in the first one the first two are letters, followed by 3 numbers, etc. Anyway, I just want to ask if anybody knows which one is the serial number. I feel like the second one (the sequence with 7 numbers) is the correct one, but then what the heck is the AB123 junk? They purposely made so many spaces in between the two set of numbers to further the confusion, and the phone number always puts me on hold (45 minutes and going strong).

I'm sure I can't be the only one that got suckered into this deal, so I hope someone is more knowledgeable and/or has dealing with this before.

[Zclyh3]

Exactly why I was trying to buy it.

[socalbob]

Exactly why I was trying to buy it.
I picked up the Sony DVD Home Theater for $199. Its $225 at Dell today; $249 BF at Circuit City; $250 at Amazon. bought online to pick up in store, and the email said I had to pick it up within 4 hours. Luckily, its only a mile away (and I'm not working today.)

Then, when I get there, it took them 20 minutes to find it (even tho it ws supposed to be picked by an employee and put in the cashier's corral). Still, I didn't have to stand in line to get to a cashier.

What are the chances that Saturdays ad be leaked tonight?

[ocp2000]

What about the Saturday Ad? Any news yet.

[Zclyh3]

I'll have the paper by 2am. Then I gotta head to like a Denny's to upload the scans. But then again the Dallas Morning News had the ads up by that time too...hmmm.

[MainEvent]

[EasyGuy]

Man forget the Saturday ads, fry's let us down with their damn 2 pages ads. What make you think they are going to redeemed themselves with a better ad on Saturday?

[kfrancia]

so when does this saturday ad come out

[sonnypra]

How good of a deal is the LG 52" 52LG70 @ $1,549. It's not the $1,198 unnamed model... seems pretty good though. Just dont know if I should wait for the $1,198 one to popup on frys website or not...

I've been waiting on this model for a while and bought it today. It has been the cheapest price in a month so far.

Butterfly Photo, Buy.com are around $1895, free shipping. From Frys I paid 1643.49 incl tax.

True, what a let down. When I lived in the Bay area in the early 2000s Black Friday was real!!

[EasyGuy]

But you know what? i'm glad they had such a crappy ad. I stayed home and had my sleep. Saved money too.

[Zclyh3]

So are you claiming it's an inside job? ;)

Actually no. The people that get the paper to deliver openly will give you one if you ask. You still gotta pay for the paper though so 75 cents...haha.

[TanKilleR]

That xbox deal is hot, comes with 7 full games, not kiddie junk ones like the 199$ deals I've seen.

[vandaL18]

I like everyone that's getting an xbox for there kids. Less kids on the PS Network. :)

[nexus99]

Any word on the Saturday stuff?

[chops]

frys hamilton was a mess. trying to get my tv took me over an hour. most inefficient system ever.
