wouldn't it be best to buy the known items now and rely on Amazon's "lowest price" policy to kick in tomorrow?

I'll check it out but yea I have a feeling if you aren't looking for a TV, laptop or jewelry then its going to be a let down. The trick will be not impulse buying shit you don't need.

I can see them discounting hard on the amazon fire tv and tablets.

Pretty disappointed that Amazon Prime video is not on my Western Digital Media Player that I just got.
 
How is everyone going to play this? I think I'll keep this thread open in its own window and check it at the top of the hour for new stuff.

Any other ideas?

Since I'm working night shift right now I don't know what I'm going to do during the day.

Waking up at 5am pst.

Have the lightning deals page as my main to refresh and scroll through. Have the following tabs open as well:

This thread
CAG thread
Slick Deals thread
Slick Deals Hot Deals forum
 
By the time the good deals are posted in here, they'll be gone already.
Slickdeals then? I just can't imagine refreshing Amazon all day.

Obviously I just lack the necessary commitment.

Good luck everyone! :-D

EDIT: There are a couple of price-watcher apps that notify you of sales, but I'm not sure the notifications are instant. I'll try that.

CAG is lagging hard for me. Hopefully Slickdeals will be decent.

Also watching Reddit deals

I already foresee myself accidentally charging a purchase to the wrong card or account or shipping something to work instead of home. I should probably just remove any payment or shipping info I don't want used now. Because damn if I want to be checking things in great detail via the mobile app tomorrow (which I'll be forced to do as I'll be out all day).

Have they mentioned which SSD is going on sale?
Amazon Italy has Sandisk Extreme Pro, Sandisk Ultra II, Trascend SSD370, Samsung 850 EVO and Samsung 850 PRO.
Amazon Spain is listing the Sandisk Ultra II (just ended), Kingston HyperX Fury, Samsung 850 EVO and Samsung 850 PRO.
Amazon UK has Sandisk SSDPlus, Crucial BX100, Samsung 850 EVO and Samsung 850 PRO.
Amazon France and Germany don't have any listed that I can see.

So it's safe to say the 850s are going to be on sale (the Sandisks are already deals of the day).
 
Newegg has jumped on the bandwagon.

I'm am utterly floored about how much of a thing this has become. It makes sense for Amazon to have a fitting celebration for their 20th anniversary but it must be because they invoked the "Black Friday" word because literally every online store is pledging some crazy sale in response. Some marketing guy just just lifted the entire industry.

if i could get a little personal 24 inch tv under 100 dollars i'll be set. i'm so cheap.

it's about time for my trusty 19 inch to be taken out to pasture.
 
I kind of want to stay up until 3am just to see what the Nexus 6 deal ends up being. I'm not sure how I'll like a huge phone, but if it hits $400 I'd be seriously tempted to buy one.

If that list is real im positive it is still incomplete, at least small stuff like games and movies/tv shows. I'm keeping an eye out for some bluray's hopefully.

Thats the benefit of working the night shift. If it is the 64gb version of the phone that would be awesome. I need to buy 2 anyway as soon as I get my project fi invites.
are there gonna be any keybaords or gaming pc headsets that go for sale?
Im 99% sure there will be, id bet on it.

Reminds me of 4th of July.
"Oh nice fireworks rook. Check this out."
Two Mortars at a time? Coward. Try 6!
"All of our Roman Candles at the same time."

And just the continuous escalation until someone gets hurt.
 
Bullshit.

This is what everyone wants/expects, but historically has Amazon ever really had any good deals on GPUs?

All of the good sales have from Newegg/Tiger Direct typically. The GTX 970's barely go on sale and when they do the sales aren't that great. The lowest I can see it going for on Amazon is maybe $275-$280.

For a 970? That's a fuckin great deal.
