Not really. We're only 10 weeks out from BF, and people at corporate have long since decided what the majority of BF items are going to be. It won't be long before more information starts to come out as more and more people at places like graphic design firms and printer and ad stuffers start to see the final lists of BF items.

I can tell you are a new member just by that line.

No, you can tell he's a new member by the "New Member" under his name.
Same way I can tell you are a jaded prick who's posted 2,000 snide unhelpful messages just by the "2K" under your name.

It was a simple question - lay off.

I have a feeling that retailers are going to be dumping their older Sharp LCDs during BF (62U). I can't imagine they've been selling well considering the recent F&F promotion over at Sharp Direct. Their Authorized Dealer network must be really pissed off!!!

Also those name brand $1000 plasmas will probably hit the $799 mark. There might be some deals on 720p LCDs but I doubt they will drop much beyond what we've seen here on FW.

FAR light bulbs and other stuff that you think you will use but will never use

Hey now, when California and other states ban incandescent light bulbs, those FAR bulbs you got on BF at Ace and FAR at Rite Aid will bring in some big bucks on eBay!

Your rather get a non-name brand tv for dirt cheap (which some people love and stand hours in line for) or you get an older model brand name tv for a highly discounted price.

But you never really get a great name brand tv (new model) cheaper on Black Friday. I find the newer tvs to be much cheaper in January.

Not sure what is really meant by no name brand - Olivia is a name right? Olivia are U.S. T.V's made by the Syntax-Brillian Corporation in Tempe, AZ. Olivia T.V.'s are quality made and if no name means cheap, then you are wrong.

they are NOW, but when they first came out they were a new brand and brand afficinados I'm sure said they were equal to coby, apex,etc.. cheap brand status. I just wanted to show just because a brand isn't one that hasn't pioneered new technology doesn't mean that they are unworthy. it's just some people think unless it is a top of the line brand, it is junk, and thats not so.jonesbeach said; Olevia came from nowhere a few years ago and is now the #2-selling brand of TV.
Exactly jonesbeach! you get it

My 57 inch HD Toshiba for $700 disagrees with you. (bought 3 years ago)

And then not long after Black Friday they had the Samsung 42" Plasma 720p for $799.

WOW that really dates ME! I remember a lot of Westinghouse products including appliances, tvs, etc. I think it was in the 60's. But, they were a name brand back then.

Yes,yes,yes....BF sales....on my list...1. Intel E6750 2. Geforce 8800 GTX

dang...already started it....time to spend more more $$$$$$$
