Black Friday 2008 - Overview of Online Deals

For all of you who didn't wake up early, there's online shopping to the rescue!

Amazon.com
  • $200 Sony Blu-Ray player. (You could have gotten one for $100 if you were there for the Walmart door-busters, I heard.)
  • Reasonable movie deals, including $15 for Iron Man on Blu-Ray or $9 on DVD.
  • Great deals on TV shows, including seasons 1-3.2 of Entourage for $10 per season or seasons 1-2 of Robot Chicken for $13/season.
  • $200 for an old 16GB iPod Touch (compare to $208 for the new 8GB iPod Touch).
  • There are deals here (and all over the internet) for TVs, cameras, hard drives... I don't know how anyone can tell what's a good value for stuff like that. Don't go above $120/TB for external hard drives (or $100/320 GB if they're portable, perhaps).
Overstock.com
  • Free shipping site-wide. Compare to Amazon, which has free shipping on orders of $25, except for a lot of items.
  • Check out the list of Black Friday deals for other sales (nothing spectacular, unless you need a set of golf clubs or something).
  • Many things are cheaper on Amazon: e.g., complete Planet Earth series on Blu-Ray is $74.94 on Overstock and $69.94 on Amazon -- and qualifies for free shipping. It's worth checking both, though.
Buy.com
  • Free shipping, seemingly on most things
  • $13.55 8GB thumb drive (with swively-ness)

Target
  • free shipping on most things
  • 2-day sale
  • many things are sold out
Kanye West Apparel
  • Kanye glasses shirt, $8 from Wet Seal
  • Kanye glasses, $5 from Urban Outfitters (which, by the way, has free shipping the whole weekend with the code FREEBIRD08)
