Hey, happy Thanksgiving. It is kind of funny how Black Friday have steadily creep up to Thursday as well (the trend started last year).
You know me, I love a good deal... every year around this time, I go out and scour the various retail stores, looking to get some discounts. Our motto is "you've got to spend money to save money!" Maybe it is just me, but looking at the advertisements for this year's Black Friday sales, there are not any really good deals.
Of the things I'm interested in:
Last year I bought a bunch of Universal Steelbook Bluray for $3.96 (they all came with digital codes). This year Walmart is selling the same Steelbooks, with some expanded titles, for $7.98 - doubling the price! Not worth the price of admission...
PlayStation 4 bundled with two free games for $400. Basically the same cost as a regular priced gaming console, only with two game titles (The Last of Us and Grand Theft Auto 5). The real deal is the Xbox One which sells for $329 with a game. However, some things to consider: (1) the machine is not as powerful and does not play games at 1080p native and (2) a re-designed smaller and improved version of the Xbone will probably be available next Black Friday.
Games sales are around $30-$35 for some old game titles. Again, not great prices.
The Amazon Phone is on sale for $199 unlocked, originally $499... a good deal, but if you've already own a smart phone, there's no need to rush out to get this. Also, there is version two of the Fire Phone just around the corner, so buyers beware.
The best deals I've seen are the 50-inch 1080p television sets - they are priced about $200 at Best Buy and Walmart. That is a great price, unfortunately I already own several 40-inch TVs! Still, despite the great price, good luck on actually being one of the very few that will get your hands on it. From past experiences, usually they have very limited stock of the television sets.
