That Snapchat feature is so stupid , use Instagram instead

I took a pic of my pillow to start a conversation with the amazon snap chat lol

Let's see what deals the release through that

 

[burgerdog]

4K TVs dropping much faster than OLED I really want the latter, but they're still ~$3,500.

 

[rainy_day]

My 7 year old Samsung might be getting replaced this year. Not sure if I should go the cheap $199 50" or go for the pricier TVs......

If its the 2 hdmi Toshiba that's a no go. If its the 3 hdmi Toshiba that might make me pull the trigger.

Time will tell. Thanks for this post!

 

[ampere]

I'm not in the market for a new TV, but wow at those deals.

 

[Otheradam]

Amazon has been really lazy with their BF deals in the last few years. All they do is price match all the big boxes as lightning deals.

 

[Syrus]

That Xbox one deal sounds great. If the unity bundle is counting towards 150$ then it sounds like unity + free game. It may be better then that

 

[Figboy79]

I promised myself I wouldn't indulge in Black Friday deals this year after buying DA and LBP3, but man, the temptation...

 

[codhand]

oh fuck yes Lincoln Logs Redwood set!!!! I am all over that, like, logs...on...lincoln?

Spoiler

these deals are ass

 

[SatoAilDarko]

If by some miracle I can get it, I'm picking up a TV. Any TV.

 

[Soup Bar]

Man fuck video games or new TV's. Let's get shit faced.

 

[Inferno313]

How do I find a schedule of things? I'm trying to tell when the Harry Potter: Page to Screen thing would be on sale. Girlfriend's a huge Harry Potter geek.

Same. Going from a Plasma to a LCD will hurt to much. Need that OLED price drop. :\

 

[Remark]

I'm more interested in the DS3 bundle though. Is $99.99 the regular price for the Playstation TV now or is that a temporary thing?

Yeah, I'm kind of hoping for a knockdown of the DS3 bundle as well. Hoping drops to $70 or something :-(

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

All I want is a GTA V deal of some kind.

 

[Irobot82]

I need a good 2DS/Pokemon bundle for under $100.

 

[jbug617]

It's that or maybe a year of live

 

[Gully State]

How hard is it to score on deals? I've never shopped at amazon for BF... I'm hoping to score a PS4 for cheap

 

[McLovin]

That 4k curved... hhhnngg! Kind of scared of buying a tv from amazon. Wont it get all beat up on delivery?

 

[Ogawa-san]

The bundle dropped from $139 to $99 last week, and it seems to be a permanent drop. That's why it's unlikely to get a better deal now.

That and the fact that any cheaper would mean getting a free PSTV with your DS3 purchase.

Managing to get 2 PS+ codes for $30 (or $35) each last year was quite the adventure. Amazon would be less hammered by a DDoS.

How do you think tvs make it to stores and such?

Even the not so good deals are usually gone within seconds.

 

[Davey Cakes]

I hope they don't sell out in five minutes or something. As a Prime member I'm praying that I'll get early access and be able to grab a TV for that great price.

Does anyone have experience with these sorts of deals? Do they typically go up in the middle of the night or something?

 

[LkPr]

I'm hoping PS+ subscriptions come on-sale again this year. Need to stock up.

 

[Everdred]

I remember the days when they used to offer $20 credit for preordering on a lot of games. Too bad they stopped.

I bought almost every big release when they did this. Now I buy like 4 games a year.

 

[SliceSabre]

Hmm I was hoping to see some computer monitors on sale.

You will have about 5 seconds to get in on the deal.

 

[Ghazi]

Same. How disappointing.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

I'd really like them to post the schedule...

Don't listen to people making it out to be harder than it really is.

I have never had any trouble doing all of my Black Friday shopping on Amazon. You will tend to know exactly when a sale goes live hours ahead of time so you just need to make sure you are there to click on it as soon as it starts.

This is how I do all my holiday shopping and I have never failed to get a deal. Not once. The only sales that will be particularly fast are on the very large items like consoles or tvs, and even then it varies based on how big the deal is. The 32 in HDTV deal happens every year and I always get one without any trouble. It goes very quickly but it isn't difficult at all to just click BUY at the right time.

If you are looking for a PS4, then I think getting the deal will be much less of an issue than actually being happy with the price. There doesn't seem to be a big chance of any massive savings on the system from what I can tell. If you just want one of the BF bundles then I think you will be able to do it easily assuming 2 things.

1. You are a prime member (this year they get early access).
2. You make sure to be there to click BUY as soon as the sale goes live.

With that in mind, you shouldn't have any trouble.

 

[inki]

OMG if this Samsung 55-inch Smart LED 4K Ultra HD TV, $899 is this I think I'm going to get it!

And if y'all don't have a NEST yet, you need to get it at that price. Love mine.

Anyone planning on doing a thread for those big items, announcing times, etc?

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Also, i dunno if you have seen this: http://www.blackfriday.fm/deals/monitors



BTW, and I don't know if this is the right thread for this, but is there really a difference between LED TVs and LED monitors?

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

That 4k curved... hhhnngg! Kind of scared of buying a tv from amazon. Wont it get all beat up on delivery?

If it does, their returns policy will cover it. I would imagine Amazon ships millions of high-end products a year, if they mostly arrived broken, I doubt Amazon would be shipping millions of high-end products a year. Their customer service chat is also top notch.

I guess I see your point, but...

 

[shoplifter]

I've bought two TVs from Amazon. The first one arrived essentially DOA (a known issue with the model, not due to shipping) and Amazon replaced it next day air with no issues.

I have no qualms about buying another from them.

 

[McLovin]

Cool I'll probably get one then. It would be nice to not have to bring it from the store.

Cool...Do I have to checkout fast or will it hold as soon as it's added to my shopping cart?

 

[shoplifter]

It depends. Usually the flash deals stay in your cart for X minutes. I think it's 15 but they might change that for the BF deals.

 

[tmac456]

this

need a year or 2 of XBL too

 

[Sai]

Ugh. Does anybody know what exactly is included with that Xbox One? If the Master Chief Collection's a part of it, I must have it.

My Prime just ran out too. Spending another $80 just to get first dibs would kind of defeat the purpose, I think. >_<

[EDIT] - Dang it. Forgot it was $100 now. Gimme a free trial, Amazon; just for Black Friday... ;_;

 

[Anton Sugar]

I'd looooove to score a 50" TV for ~$200 this year.

 

[codhand]

Lincoln Logs are made of plastic now? Fuck this planet.

EDIT wait, some are. not all. planet redeemed.

 

[Figboy79]

Those TV deals are pretty damn awesome.

We currently have a 24 inch 1080p Samsung, a 40 inch 1080p Samsung, and a 40 inch 720p Samsung. The 720p set I've had since 2007, and I'm looking to replace it with a new 1080p set.

Our apartment isn't big enough for a TV larger than 42" but man, that 50" Toshiba is amazingly tempting.

 

[Kleegamefan]

Are they price matching other black friday ads like walmart, best buy and target?

 

[Bsigg12]

I'm pretty sure that's the one being offered for $1289 since it specifically says curved.

 

[BlindRage]

Damn I want that 50 inch tv.

 

[ShinySideDown]

Man fuck video games or new TV's. Let's get shit faced.

This.

 

[Kodeman]

Holy shit. Those are some cheap TVs. I really don't need another, but for that cheap I may just have to.

 

[Ellite25]

Any chance I'll get some money back having recently bought an Xbone for $349?

 

[inki]

Most Stores will price match up to 30 days in the past (NOT DOORBUSTERS) so if you see it elsewhere cheaper you may get lucky. Visit the retailer you bought it from and see what their policy is.

 

[Bladenic]

Wish they had a PS4 or Wii U deal ugh.
