Black friday thread

Excellent commentary Sithmaster. :laugh2:

shardian:
FYI, the walmart at is available at all participating torrent shops near you. Unfortunately, it isn't even worth the look.

What baffles me is that Walmart is being hardcore in preventing the early release of their ad, yet it is quite obvious that there isn't a single doorbuster in the ad - those will be released on walmart.com on thanksgiving. WTF is the point to the legal stuff then?!?

drunkatuw:
I saw the walmart ad today and it was definitely disappointing.  I think this year might be the first year in 7 or 8 years that I'll be sleeping in on black friday.  Nothing so far has got me excited enough to skip sleeping the night before.  I'll login to bestbuy.com at midnight and order a few DVDs, but I think that'll be it for me.

Although, I'm looking forward to walmart's secret sales.  Maybe some more HD-DVDs on sale (bought the HD-A2 during the last secret sale)

SithMaster:
Wouldnt releasing the ads help sales because people will know what they have in advance and make the effort to go there?  Otherwise they would just stay home instead of maybe finding a deal.

Yeah things arent really catching my eye this year either.  Maybe bestbuy should get some star wars cabs or something for the early folk.  If my friends go ill tag along though if they have a cartoon box set i might get one.

ChadTower:

Releasing the ads will also allow competitors to adjust and offer an equivalent item slightly cheaper - or alongside a better companion item.

How many people who wait in line for 5 hours actually buy anything other than the loss leader item, anyway?  It's great that they'll offer a bunch of items at stupid prices but I rarely hear "yeah, so I picked up that $400 32" TV and 4 sets of cables for it.  It's always just the loss leader item.
