Don't apologize for having a good job that has allowed you the luxury of sleeping in on BF.

I think most people who camp out on BF have no idea what they're doing -- they're just taking part in mob mentality because they see other people on the TV news lined up the night before.

And it's not even worth it in some cases -- last year I got one of my $199 22" Westinghouse monitors at BB at 11:00 AM. Don't ask me why it was sitting there, but it was, and it wasn't misplaced or hidden or anything like that. I think people just assumed that because it was a red-hot deal that it must have sold out instantly when the store opened, when in fact it didn't.

Olivia became a brand name after the famous movie "Grease" with Travolta.
But I don't know about Olevia (actually first letter is German character I guess).

IIRC Olevia came from nowhere a few years ago and is now the #2-selling brand of TV.

Are Olevia TVs really made in the USA, or is just that the company HQ is there?

True. We have one of there 37" LCDs that we got last year and the blacks are definitely washed out all the time. They have all the features you could want for a great price but their picture quality could use some improvement on the LCDs

I've done this for a couple of years now. I always hope for a really cold BF though. That keeps a lot of people home in bed. It was pretty warm last year. People started lining up at BB around 5:30pm the day before. I think a lot of that was all the people being used to seeing the people waiting for days for the Wii's and PS3's, plus those who missed out on cheap laptops the year before. With the plethora of cheap laptops we've seen for the last 6 months, maybe that will help keep the lines down this year.

Thanks for the info. Will keep an eye on this thread for updates/scans.

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

TV prices are don't change great throughout the year. They are always dropping slowly but never jump around like some other products.

You rarely get a good deal on a new tv on black friday.

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.

With that post, I'd thing you were a newb. My bud just got the 42" Sony LCD projection TV at Fry's for $500 a couple weeks ago. That was one hell of a jump. That set is now back at damn near $1000.

I hope I can find good deals on a 32" LCD 1080p. I think this years BF will be huge for TV's.

Wow - 4 pages of Olevia discussions and no mentioning of WalMart $199 HD-DVD player ???

Get to the store 3:00 am and hang around for a few hours and get great deals.

Its OVER

Todays BF has crazy teens lining up at 8:00PM the night BEFORE. Why do they do this? Well they dont have jobs or much money so they will do anything to get items cheap.

BF has turn into a line of unemployed people!!!!

maybe they just want a great deal like a HP laptop. at the time I had not yet ever bought one. for my first one $378 was good starter for decent specs. also should all the deals go to the people with most money to burn?? no... at the time i spent alot of time on web and my legs would swell up from office chair, with laptop i could disconnect from home office room and prop up feet while working on websites or merely browsing. so there may be many various reasons why people like bf.

also some of us dread the rebates!!!
