    NewEgg has the 72 hour pre-sale. I'm hunting down for a new Plasma -- suggestions?

    Most places will start their Black Friday pricing on Thursday via their online store:"; walmart, Best Buy, etc. The wife and I are looking to get ourselves a new TV for Xmas.

    I am thinking about getting the Westinghouse 40" 1080P LCD TV they have at Target for $299. I have been reading that you can go to the store with the sku# now and buy it, then on Black Friday walk in anytime and they will refund the difference via their policy or price assurance. I really want a higher end TV or at least a plasma but I figure I won't find anything cheaper than the Westinghouse and the TV is only going in our bedroom.

    i'd be careful of that. big sales, a lot of stores have "limited quantity" so they don't go bankrupt.

    Exactly, that is why I want to go buy it today instead of waiting all night for the 10-20 they have in the store on Friday. They hide them in the back:)

    According to consumer reports you get a nice rounded bit from LG, Samsung and Pani. The guys over on AVS forum seem to love the Panis the most though.

    And size? Probably something 42 to 50". Amazon is running a BF pre-sale at the moment. I sit about 8 feet away and will be wall mounting this bad boy :)

    that was NEVER the case at best buy. black friday items are usually a model number/letter off of the one you buy regularly, even tho they may be exactly the same otherwise. black friday items are also usually shrink wrapped in special colored wrap to their own pallets and employees are not allowed to open them for ANYONE or ANY REASON prior to friday. also, one day sales are exactly that, ONE DAY. we NEVER had to 'refund' the difference of anything that was on sale the next day after someone paid full price the day before.

    plus your logic, it makes no sense. you'd still have to go up there on black friday and get your 'refund'. its gonna be insane all day.

    so, good luck with that

    I recently got a new Panasonic plasma and have been quite happy with it. I picked the TV I wanted and then just watched Amazon until I found the best price.

    This is Target and not Best Buy.

    There are already threads all over the internet regarding this TV and this method working at all Target stores if they will release the product to you.

    for those too lazy to click
    "Yes, you can buy this TV before black Friday and get it Price Adjusted from Fri Nov 26th to Sat Nov 27th and receive the Black Friday Sale Price of 298$. Go to the customer service desk and ask them to look up the DPCI: 008-09-0740 if they have it in stock ask them to bring one up for you. Just bring your receipt into ANY Target during the sale dates to get your adjustment.
    NOW: No matter WHAT your manager tells you (mine almost got into a fist fight with me) you can do this. I called corporate 4 different times and spoke to 4 different CS Agents The first 2 calls were to confirm the Price adjustment policy . and the second 2 were to make sure there are NO restocking Fees; on TV's opened or not(keep all packing material). make sure to keep your receipt!!!!!!!"

    I had thought about the target tv too.

    I heard a commercial on the radio earlier that walmart will have a 32" lcd for $199. I'm mainly looking out for a laptop though.

    well, thats just stupid on their part. im sure they can afford to take the loss. they should be making a profit even with those losses

    Here are the Plasma's that consumer reports recommends taking a look at. These are the ones that are priced beneath $1000.00.

    Panasonic Viera TC-P42U2
    LG 50PK540
    Panasonic Viera TC-P50U2
    Samsung PN50C450

    All of the above are CR Best Buys. I don't think my budget allows for much over $1000.00 at this point.

    Well I got one PhD the tvs at target today. I had to go to 3 stores before one would release it to me. I figure if I don't find anything else on Friday, I will just keep it.

    I ended up with the Panasonic TC-P42S2 (it ended up being cheaper than the U model on Amazon, well under $1k) If I could have afforded it, I would have gone with the 50" though.

    Nice! 599$? Talk about a bargain. And LG makes pretty good TVs.
