Planning on hitting up BB again this year. This time my goal is a LG 27" LED LCD for $200. The normal retail for it is about $350, even on newegg. Decent specs, too. They do seem to have a few good deals this year as well, like a 16gb asus transformer tf300 tablet (tegra 3) for $280 and the keyboard/battery dock for $100 rather than $150. I got my TF101 for $250 last year and it's more than paid for itself. Other deals include dvd and blu-ray movies for super cheap, along with ps3 and xbox360 bundles for $200. There's also a 40" tv for $200 again, which I suspect will be the big seller.
Anyone want to hit this one up with me? We can totally make sheetz/rutters runs since someone will be there to watch our spots. Also, I have travel battleship to pass the time. Once I get done with the required family turkey time I'll be dropping my stuff off here (showing the Wii U to family next week) and then zipping on over.

No one wants to rock the travel battleship? Y'all are laaaaaame.

You had me at rutters...

I'm planning on optimally being there anywhere from 530-6pm since the doors are supposed to open at midnight for the sale, but I'll be getting there asap regardless.

Well, just putting this out there a little early since I'll be going to dinner with family tomorrow afternoon. Still planning on hitting BB and if anyone wants to join me for the shenanigans, message me on here with a number i can text so we can co-ordinate a hostile fites takeover.

Da-yum, this lcd is a beast. What my first 22" lcd was to my old 19" crt, this thing is to my good 22". Awesome purchase. Also nabbed a toshiba blu-ray player for $40.

I was drunkenly passed out in my bed. Now I am hung over at work. Sounds like you win o.O

I half win. The toshiba bluray player (BDK23) is wireless "ready," which I figured by the big ol' WIRELESS READY on the front of the box meant it'd work just fine over my g-network after I put the mac address into the router.
Nope! After trial and error (trial being wondering why wireless network discovery didn't work and error being the whole unit freezing up when connected to the switch closest to it as opposed to working fine when connected directly to my router) I found out via the online FAQ that if I want to use wifi with it I have to purchase a proprietary usb wireless adapter from the toshiba direct website.... which doesn't sell it. Other places have it for $50-70. There's only 1 usb port, which is on the front of the system, so to use wifi I'd have to give up bd-live features that need a usb flash drive to run.
Also, for some reason until I actually PLAYED a bluray disc, the tray would stay open whenever I turned on the system. and THEN it wouldn't play anything (I tested on the avengers) until about the 3rd or 4th time I ejected and then loaded the disc.
Cost-cutting at it's finest. To it's credit, once it was online it got the latest update and rebooted just fine. And now it acts like it's supposed to and plays back content wonderfully. I contribute my problems to simple derps and first-time running of the unit. Still worth the cost, though. $40 hell yeah.

FWIW: Viewsonic 22" on the left and LG 27" on the right.

Sweet chair. I was tempted to get the ps3 bundle, but opted for the lcd instead.
