Regardless of the fact that it is 720p (or 1080i, depending upon how you choose to interpret this resolution w/ respect to a progressive display such as this one), THIS IS A GOOD DEAL! $140 less than Targets best ever sale price and $150 cheaper than any price you can find for this model currently.

Can we buy this now and price match later, to the Black Friday sale price?

Let's have some pricing perspective here, shall we?

I picked up this panel about 4-5 months ago for $688.00 at Target, the best deal at the time and probably the best ANYWHERE since then. The closest they've ever come to that price since then is $699.00 (for one week only) and much more commonly, it's been in the $750 to $799.00 range.

Current best deal on pricegrabber is $750.00, delivered.

Now, if you have your little heart set on a 1080p panel in this size, then no amount of price slashing would satisfy you here. Fine. But that doesn't make this deal lukewarm and worthy of dismissing.

Sorry, but for Black Friday it's just not that impressive to me. YMMV.

I actually saw this set for $576 on sale at Fry's about 4 or 5 months ago.

I'm not saying it's a horrible deal (it's pretty good) but it's really disappointing for me.

I thought this set could go for as low as $499 (given what I saw)... oh well, then again, it's Target. Do they really focus their sales on TVs?...

Might go here after I hit the real sales. The Play-Doh and LeapFrog thing look interesting. (I have a birthday and Christmas coming up for a 2 year old within a month of each other.) Nothing really good besides that. last year they had all seasons of 24 that cheap and the other movies will probably be somewhere else with better deals.

i'm getting 24 season 5
yahooo

Like I said before I have a feeling this BF is gonna suck! Probably most will just sit in line at Sears for that Sharp LCD Unless BB has something waiting in the cold for I may just sleep in.

I have never gone to a black friday sale before.

Does Target work like most other stores where I have to get there early in the morning, or do these deals usually last till, say, noon? I guess I'm specifically talking about the Olevia 37".

If I did need to get there early, what time should I show up? I'm in San Antonio, TX if that helps.

Thanks!

I was thinking the exact same thing. Had been holding out on on seasons 9 (came out right after last BF IIRC) and 10, hoping for deal(s) on BF

Still have my fingers crossed for an unadvertised special of some sort (I think they had some DVD sets last year that weren't in the ad).

At least there's Family Guy...

I'll certainly post if I find out anything. I, too, held out on Seasons 9 & 10, figuring that they would offer it (or Costco would have a buy-two-get-'m-cheap deal). There is no way I'd pay full price for one of these--I haven't even finished watching previous seasons!

Again, anyone finds out what 50+ CDs are going to be $7.50, that would be GREAT!

Someone told me that with Target's 'price protection' policy, you don't have to wait until BF to get these deals. You can just buy the item now, then on BF, take your receipt in and get a refund for the price difference (since it went on sale within 30 days). I think he said you have to actually go in on BF to due this, but standing in Customer Service line beats standing in the checkouts at 6am. Anyone know if this is actually true?
