They had a 100 dollar DS lite again. It was the wrong color AGAIN. I waited three hours for cobalt after Monday's crimson offer and they stuck us with Metallic Rose for the day. Guess I'll be checking back tomorrow... *Sigh*
@dracosummoner: The only reason would be to drag it out over the course a week to pad out their selection of deals. Instead of having one DS deal one day, they have five deals for five days with roughly 1/5th the stock.
Yeah I don't think having a "Renegade" edition of DJ Hero with Jay-Z and Eminem warrants a $200 price,. even if $50 is knocked down from it. What's so renegade about it?
@Handsome Al: It's also got metal knobs, cross fader, etc. The overall construction is a little bit better, and the colors are different. Also comes with a hard carrying case that turns into a stand for the deck.
I'm slightly disappointed with the Blu deals at amazon so far, aside from the 9.99 deal on Wolverine last night. Here's hoping we see some better deals on Blu movies as the week progresses. Also hopefully they continue to have killer deals on games. These guys are what shopping online is all about.
@Norm the Alligator: Yeah I took a look at the schedule. I think all I was really curious about was the X-men trilogy. I'd like to know what they end up pricing that for. Wal-mart and Bestbuy have some decent Blu prices, I was just expecting a lot more in the sub-20 dollar range....actually much closer to 10. Maybe thats asking too much :).
@mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta: I wanted to buy it, but a combination of lack of time and money means I haven't picked it up yet.
For $5 I would've, but now that it's back up I'm going to hold off again, especially since I bought Ghostbusters and the Looney Tunes box set during yesterday's sale.
While we're talking about black friday, HOW DOES IT WORK ONLINE I AM DESPERATE
do sites gradually reveal deals? Do deals take effect as soon as they are revealed? Do I have to wait UNTIL FRIDAY to know?
I've got a cart full of items on Newegg. So far the price has dropped 6 dollars from something-or-other. Will it drop more? Are there more sales to come? Am I at risk of these items selling out?! D: ahhhhh it's too hard
@WhiteMåge: There is no Black Friday online. We have something called "Cyber Monday" online.
The way it works obviously varies from group to group, Amazon will most likely do what you see here in slowly releasing different deals each day from here to the week before Christmas (whether you want to risk holding off until then is sometimes worth it).
I can almost guarantee you either way that what you add to your cart today will not count towards what will be available come Cyber Monday. Just about all online stores require you to actually visit their site and browse the day-of to generate traffic and get better sales.
You're always at risk of things selling out online, notably even faster if they're deals people want since it's a broader access (see: L4D1 and how it sold out last year when it was at $20).
Just know where you want to be and what you want to buy, every man for themselves at that point.
@Tenshigure: But how does newegg in particular work? Because one item HAS gone down a bit from being a "holiday savings" item or whatever. is that the same thing? And how likely is it that there will be much more?
@WhiteMåge: Well if the email I got is correct, then tomorrow Newegg shall be busting out all their Black Fridays deals. I'd say wait till tomorrow and see if any of your stuff go down in price.
@Tenshigure: haha....clearly mis-informed..... there are some "Black Friday" deals online, Amazon having the best ones...... their deals available at 12am PST/3am EST on Black Friday....usually these are release a day or two before.......notable last year was L4D for like $20(or $25) was gone in like 15min( i know cause i fell asleep and woke up at 3:15am)
But out of the four games i bought, all were available in the morning except L4D.
@Cronoking: Oh, alright. THe site I have informing me didn't say anything like that.
This is a christmas present I've waited years to get, and I'm quite excited. My dad just confirmed he'll buy it as-is so I'll wait until tomorrow to see if anything changes.
As it stands it dropped 6 bucks so far AND they added a free 4GB flash drive for some reason :O
@WhiteMåge: The price drops and freebies probably have nothing to do with Black Friday. Newegg prices constantly change, and new deals pop up all the time. If you keep the items in your cart, they are updated when the items on the page are. If you keep them in there long enough, you'll see a lot of fluctuation.
I have been getting great deals on Amazon the last couple of days.
Got I am Legend for 2 dollars. Got Ghostbusters for 360 for cheap, I just got Smackdown Vs. Raw 2010 for 40 bucks and about to get Batman Arkham Asylum for a good deal.
@TearsandScreams: Glad I could help. I'd been looking for another black controller to replace my "secondary" one, which is white.
It's clearly not a necessary purchase, since the white pad works fine. But for that price, I can indulge myself without feeling like I'm throwing cash away. :)
In the Uk last week WH Smith started trying to off load their console hardware, as they move away from selling it.
They have been selling PS3 for as low as £200 Brand new!!!
If you have a WH Smith in your area i suggest asking/phoning if they have any left and if/when they are getting rid of them, as you might get yourself a great deal like my friend did in London :P
@Jolan- needs something witty to put here: Hey, when I posted it, I didn't see yours, so I came up with it myself too! If this were RL, and not a comment thread, I might have to say, "Jinx!"

... Why wouldn't they just offer the same deal for all the colors at the same time?

They've still got the Amazon-exclusive collector's edition of Ghostbusters in stock for $30, though.

FYI amazon will be having a pre-black friday sale for video games daily. Each day will have a deal of the day as well as the pre-black friday deal.

It's £17.95 - shipping is free within the UK, £0.99 anywhere else in Europe.
They also have the Collector's Edition of Gears Of War 2 for the same price.
Oddly enough, the regular edition is still priced at... £29.95.
Bionic Commando, for those who were unsure about buying it full price? Same thing, £17.95.
I'd never ordered from zavvi before, but I think I'll check them out more often.

It is $12.98 brand new ... not a bad deal for a decent game ... and it sold out faster than the other two "better deals".
