I am so out of my element. What are the best online deals for 50+inch TVs that I primarily intend to use for PC gaming?

I don't know what prices are good, or how to figure out if the TV can keep up with the PC hz/frame rate wise.
 

is this uk? IDK what a tesco is and it says blackpool.

looks like the US has successfully exported another of our proudest traditions.

Any good videos pop up yet? I love watching those videos when Wal-mart cuts open the pallet and the shoppers go nuts.

the pallets at my walmart were demolished. I'd hate to have been there. Best buy seemed really really orderly on the other hand.

Anyone know if wal-mart.com will start selling blu-ray on sale at 6pm pacific time?

Or will we have to wait till tomorrow to get them online?
 
Also on movie deals for those inclined for digital ones, on Vudu the HDX versions with bonus features of Guardians of the Galaxy, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are 9.96 each. Mind that I'm not sure if it's a price mistake or what as these are not advertised along with the other ones on sale.
Not a price mistake, it's actually in Walmart's Black Friday ad. I just bought Guardians for 9.96 and the whole family is about to watch it, and it's not even out on Blu-ray for a couple more weeks. Rock on.

Tell me about this tradition, Ameri-GAF. Are the cheap items literally only on sale tomorrow or can I go pick stuff up on Saturday without fear of getting trampled?

if they're not doorbusters they'll be there Saturday. but most of the trampling was today. you're safe now.
 
Thinking about snagging the Macbook Air at best buy for 899. Worth it GAF?


Also not gonna lie. It felt great walking into Best Buy and being like 'I don't really need anything'. My wallet is proud of me.

Well it's tonight. Going on now. You can probably show up late tonight and it won't be bad? That's what I'm doing.

Tomorrow will be crazy too.

I bought the Macbook Air 13 last week for 899 and I get 10% off from Mover's coupon. I would wait for next refresh.
 
I witnessed a morbidly obese person (I wasn't sure the gender) trampled and absolutely disregarded by a crowd. Wal-Mart staff had to intervene, there was blood fucking EVERYWHERE. It took medics fifteen minutes to arrive on the scene. One lady seemed to be having either a heart attack or a severe manic attack. Chest clutching, the works.

I got nothing. They didn't order the item I was scouting.. (50+ inch Samsung HDTV)
 
I'll go shopping early tomorrow and see what cheap movies/games are left.

Jesus WTF.

This makes me wonder, is this worth the $100 discount off the TV?
 
Many people in the crowd were recording. Hopefully people are held accountable, if they can be identified. I'm not sure if charges can be pressed against others for Black Friday incidents, but I would assume so.

If I come across the video this week, I'll share it. Absolutely disgusting human behavior.

You're joking, I hope. People going out for cheap DVDs and blurays is kinda nuts. You're braving all that shit to save what, like $10?
It's really easy to just stroll in and pick up a few of the Blu/DVD/games. No need to get in there early. Kinda fun to go with my friend or brother.

I got a few of the things I thought would be tougher. Now I'm good and can pick up things for really cheap. Enjoy the chaotic atmosphere.
 
I bought a $40 PS3 white controller yesterday @bestbuy.com. I think/HOPE that's all I do for black Friday (not including the card store I go to's web site for black Friday deals in a few hours)

I picked up the MacBook Pro Retina last month for $940 after tax with the movers coupon.

Check the open box deal site. I've always made out like a thief from Best Buy doing this.

I went to Meijer because I forgot some food items for today and to my surprise nobody was in there for their Black Friday deals. Managed to get Captain America TWS for 10 bucks on Blu Ray and 2 PS4 games for 30 bucks.

Proudly debt free. If you need a couple bucks, just ask.
I'm looking for a 1 or 2 TB portable HDD (no external power). Any online deals?
