Black Friday promises good deals for those who want to wait in line

Black Friday store ads have been leaked to the public and scans are already showing up on websites such as bfads.net.

Black Fridays are always fun but not always the things I want. Easier to shop online for them but retailers actually lose money on certain items to get people into their stores.

CompUSA seems to have more Black Fridays than any other retailers! Makes me wonder how can they stay in business if they keep doing this and the fact they closed several of their stores several months ago in effort to save on costs. Least there always Fry's in my area.

Letting your lawyers run your legal department is one thing, letting them run your business is quite another. Passing up on free advertising... old Sam Walton must be rolling in his crypt banging on the walls in anger. :fou:

Hope the price of intel CPUs will drop

Reply to xkm1948

I dont think Intel does Black Friday sales. :p Although, they do compete with AMD, so if AMD's quad core is competitive, that will help control Intel prices.
