I just hope that sammy that was supposed to be a "Sears exclusive" sells for 699 for the LN40A500 at CC. Sears would be so pissed and I would laugh my ass off.

Of course - how do you think they will make money? Even with low or zero interest teasers, it is assumed that the average person will incurr late fees, other finance charges, etc. Be prepared for hard sale for extended warranty, overpriced HDMI and monster audio cables,...

In this economy good luck. I'm sure there will be SOME sort of financing deal, but certainly not a good one.
The list looks like an internal list, as it says, these are one time buys, that is why there are no hard drives or other things on the list. These are only the things that are special Black Friday models, not regular stocked items. I am sure there will be more items in the flyer.

They filed for bankruptcy for protection from creditors while they re-organize and consolidate. Yes, they may go completely belly up, so I wouldn't make any purchases with big rebates attached, but they'll be open black Friday.
One good thing about CC is that the lines are going to be a lot less than Worst Buy. Two years ago, my wife and I got in line at Circuit City and picked up a $300 laptop. There were already over 100 people in line at Worst Buy across the street. The best deals are the ones that you can get. A better deal that will be sold out before you enter the store is useless.

I don't know if they'll still be pushing these now during the holidays, but whatever you do, DO NOT purchase an extended warranty. The odds they will be around to honor it when you need it are slim. Let's face it, they would not have made this move now unless they were absolutely in the most dire straights; because confidence in their stores will be shot and sales will go elsewhere during the most critical season. Personally, I will try to avoid any big ticket purchases from CC unless the price is absolutely out of this world. If you buy that new LCD TV and it turns out to be defective, you are more than likely stuck SHIPPING it yourself back to the manufacturer since returns/exchanges may not be allowed. In short, when considering shopping at CC for this year's holiday deals:
1. Do not buy an ext. warranty under any circumstances 2. Do not purchase gift cards 3. Do not buy anything unless you are 100% confident you won't need to return it later (or won't care much if you are unable) 4. And as the VirginiaDC stated, don't buy anything with a CC rebate unless you are OK with the price if the rebate never comes. Manufacturer rebates are still OK.
Not that I ever recommend buying extended warranties for other reasons, so long as their warranties are offered through a third part, e.g. "N.E.W." or the like, then purchasing one with a store in trouble is actually a good reason to reduce your risk that they go under within their normal return period. The 3rd party isn't in trouble.
Again, I NEVER buy extended warranties myself, but saying not to buy one just because a store filed CH11 is not sufficient. Granted I don't know how CC structures their warranties, so you'll want to check on that if you are seriously considering one. Store sponsored for 6 months probably safe, for 3 years, not safe just now.
Stores (and other business) file CH11 all the time and come out of it (look at Kmart). It's definitely good to be safe (like no Gift Cards that offer no real benefit). Store-sponsored rebates are probably fine for purchases through the end of the year. I wouldn't risk it afterwards unless it's clear they are emerging from CH11 which can't be told for a good 6 to 18 months after filing.
