Disgusting.

Is there a decent place to buy DVDs on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, online of course? I've got some series I want to pick up.

Agreed. I think it's cool that different stores are opening at different times, but I don't think any of them should open before midnight.

EDIT: Just saw where Target is opening at 9pm on Thanksgiving.

Pretty sure amazon would. Haven't seen anything for it yet, though.

Last year Amazon.com has some really good deals on both DVD's and Blu-ray. I am hoping they will have some good sales again this year, I would love to load up on Blu-rays for cheap.

Also, I think you can order dvd's and blu-rays through Wal-Mart's site and select site to store and then just pick them up.

Last year, some of the stores opened at midnight and some at 4-5 am. That sucked. I definitely don't like them starting on T-day, though.

Apple doesn't really have sales. They don't have to.

Does anyone know if induction cooktops are going to be introduced this season?

They're the cooktops that pour energy into certain types of cookware instead of heating an element. That way you're just heating the food itself. You pull the pan away and the unit is cool to the touch. You spill something from the pan and it doesn't cook onto the cooking surface. Lots of safety and convenience pluses to it.

Up until now, there are big $2K full cooktops, portables for professional chefs, and units of unknown capabilities you have to mail order.

If you check those links in the OP you will see more than a few stores are opening at 8 pm on Thanksgiving. What they are doing is opening at that time so people can get the non doorbuster but still good sale items. The limited quantity stuff wont be part of the early openings and the ads will say "starting at 4 am" or something similar for the "doorbusters."

I think this is a good thing because it will prevent people who don't want to buy the doorbusters from adding to the large numbers and mob like crowds of those that are going after the limited quantities or crazy doorbuster items. Also it allows people to not have to wait outside overnight.

I have an induction heater that I use at the shop. It will heat metal in a couple seconds.

Mini ductor iirc. I paid about five hundred bucks for it and I love it. it has little adapters different sizes to fit different bolts. But it is still pretty hot after you move it away from the bolt.

A co-worker was telling me how K-Mart is selling 32" LCD's for $97. The catch is the doors open at 6 am Thanksgiving morning.

So, if you feel like fighting off other crazies in a battel royale for a limited number of cheap TV's before you have to feed and put up with the rest of your asshole family, this may be the thing for you!
