For the most part, the deals are beyond horrible in my opinion.

the airlink deal doesn't look bad but if you can only buy one item each it kinda makes for a lame network.

good junky pre-draft-N stuff.

The $99 OTD 21.6" lcd is decent
The canon multifunction laser printer for $80 OTD is also pretty good
some FAR stuff, but nothing worth getting up early to stand in line for.

but I guess it deserves its own thread

I wonder what time people will start lining up?
what was it like last year at Frys?

This is what Fry's did for the previous years (prior to 2005). They would have 2 pages of ad in the paper on Thursday. On Friday morning, there would be another 8 pages with much better deals than the ones that were released on Thursday. I wouldn't be surprised to see much better things on Friday morning's paper, unless it is leaked early. I used to stand in line like a fool without knowing what I am getting until the paper boy come by that morning at around 3am. I must say Fry's is doing a great job this year keeping their ad a secret.

There are never decent motherboard combos at Fry's on BF....At least not in my opinion.

Hate to tell you this, but if you're not willing to wait over 2 hours, you're better off going somewhere else. The last couple years, many of the Frys deals have been available online, you might look into that.

Q6600 & BE-2300 combos say hi.

I have the Los Angeles version in my hand now and I see the following 3 differences:

1. The "Major Name Brand" 52'' 1080P 120Hz LCD for $1198 is listed with an LG logo inplace of the "Major Name Brand" text. Item number is the same.

2. In place of the $48 7" Portable DVD player (on the far left under the canon camera) is a "8'' PORTABLE DVD PLAYER AND DIGITAL PICTURE FRAME" with an LG logo. Listed for $48 also but a different item number of #5706662. Note: It is one item that can be used as a dvd player or placed on a table to act as a digital picture frame.

3. In addition to the $1299 MacBook there is a $999 MacBook. Item #5779562. From the picture it looks like its the previous generation. Full description is: "Apple MacBook WITH A 13.3'' WIDSCREEN DISPLAY & 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo PROCESSOR WITH A TUCANO MICROFIBER SLEEVE, A BLUETOOTH MOUSE AND AN EPSON ALL-IN-ONE COLOR PHOTO QUALITY PRINTER/SCANNER/COPIER" $1178.97 - $179.97 Instant Savings = $999

Using Google search for "frys 5562150" revealed that the MAJOR NAME BRAND 32" LCD for $388 is SAMSUNG LN32A330 32" 720P LCD HDTV
