We went searching for the best, lowest-priced, 50” 1080p HDTV that we could find, and we found it at Best Buy. BlackFriday.info reports that Best Buy will have a Samsung 50” 1080p television priced at $897.99. There’s also icing on the cake here: this is a Samsung, one of the most respected brands of HDTVs, and this is a plasma display, which usually demands a higher price than more traditional LCD displays. This television has it all, and if that weren’t enough, it appears that Best Buy has already placed this TV on sale today (Wednesday, November 25). The Samsung features three HDMI ports, two component video ports, a USB port, and a computer port (for using the TV as a really big computer monitor).
The formatting on this article is horrible, come on Kate and Anthony, you really going to force people to click through all 33 pictures to see the deals? I would make this article a few pages long, and just list everything. Or hell, just make it one big page with all 33 deals listed.
I'm disappointed by the lack of details in specs for the computers. Telling me "It's a quad core! with 8GB ram! 1TB HDD! and Lightscribe!" is not nearly enough.
The LG Internal Blu-Ray is a discontinued item and has been unavailable for quite some time. I've wanted one solely because it'll play the now-dead "HD" format discs but it's always listed as "back-ordered", and if they quit making them I sure don't see them ever coming in stock again...
Regarding Altec Lansing VS2621 PC for $19.99. Just came from local Staples after holding the box with these speakers in my hands. Man, is it small!! I mean, sure the price is lower than usual, but to me these speakers are worth exactly twenty bucks, IF I really needed them. But since it's not an urgent need, it's "meh"... Although, it would make a nice inexpensive birthday present for your nephew or someone you don't really give much crap about, but still need to give something sort of "nice".
quantumrand : Not to be a stickler, but the Droid Eris is only $30 at Wal-mart, far cheaper than that $79.99 of the CLIQ.http://phandroid.com/2009/11/23/ht [...] -wal-mart/
You're not a stickler--we ASKED you to find a better deal than the one we found, so thanks!

And a 20" monitor! And an HP DeskJet color printer! Actually, I don't seem to recall any exclamation points in the original text.
As for the specs, it would be nice if we had more details, at the very least I'd like to see motherboard and graphics card manufacturer/model. But, Black Friday information is either leaked out intentionally by the retailer, or by someone involved in the process of putting together the ad. Either way, we're limited to the information that's provided to us.
Can you just make a list? It's a PITA clicking on the pics one at a time.

When will this one-paragraph-per-page stuff finally come to an end? It sucks!
I'm not going to waste my time clicking through this article

I just mouse-over the blue tabs up top to get a thumbnail, and if it looks interesting, I click it. Saves a fair bit of time.
There's nothing on sale that I need or want.
They just want all the web hits of forcing us to click through all the pages... annoying as hell. I dont want a camera.

I have to agree I refuse to click through many pages..

The celeron 900 is a new processor!!!http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=41498
Wikipedia lists it as a 900 MHz released in 2001. But if you're trying to say I should have double checked with Intel, I agree.
