I picked that one up from AWD about 2 months ago and its a pretty nice bar for the price. I have it in a medium sized room and it fills it nicely, the wireless sub and BT options are what sold me on this.

This thing will not replace a normal HiFi set up but for under $200, the sub actually has more punch than I would have figured for something so small and light.

Thanks. The current price on amazon is already $180 (albeit via a reputable seller) so I don't know how good of a deal this is.

Interesting. I thought the best buy ad showed skylanders for the wii only. Looks like all platforms are avail for the 39.99 price.

Might have to jump on that galaxy tab so I can avoid best buy on bf.

I've been in the market for a soundbar too and it caught my eye,

But this soundbar can be bought right now from Amazon for $178 + free shipping. Model of it is HW-E450.

The sale is going to be crazy, their website will crawl and the phone wait time will be long, so I wouldn't waste my time bothering with BBs sale price.

(btw the bar gets decent reviews but from what I read there are much better options available for that price point)

Hmm... I see only the black 360 controller is on sale on the website. I wonder if in store the other ones will be available as well. (Hoping Halo 4 controller)

How does that prevent non-premiere silver members from participating then... or are the BF discounts reflected at checkout for registered premiere members only (and others are charged the standard price)? Just trying to get some details about how the process actually works. 3) Finally, are quantities for smaller items (like games and movies) also restricted to just 1 per transaction?

Actually, you'll find that your RZ member no. has already been added to your BB.com account if you've purchased anything from BB.com. You don't even need to do it manually (unless you've never shopped online at BB.com before and therefore are not even registered with BB.com).

But that's not really what I was asking about anyway. I just wanted to understand the process by which BB.com would prevent the NON-Premiere Silver members from getting in on this deal. I mean they can also go to BB.com tomorrow an order those exact same items that are noted on the Black Firday ad. So what bars them from eating up the stock that are supposed to be reserved for us premiere silver members? Would they be prevented from getting those discounted sale prices at checkout just because their BB.com accounts show that they're not silver members? Is that how it works?

I actually had to reconfirm with the system because at first it said I wasn't a Premier Silver Member. I just went thru the steps again, same account and everything, and it worked.

Looks like I'll be trying for Dead Island in the morning.

So, how exactly is this gonna work? Do the prices flip when the sale starts? Is there a special store front for us silver members?

Did you read this at all? http://www.bestbuy.com/preview20121118

Ah, you have to click on the rewards zone link. Got it.

For people who bought stuff on their smart phones last year, is there a special link to the sale on the mobile site and/or the BB app, or do the sale prices show up when you add the sale items to the cart when you are singed in? Just got a smart phone and I'm looking for a backup plan in case the regular site keeps crashing.

It's days like this I'm glad my wife has wealthy family. No way I could afford to spend $2500/yr. at Best Buy, but family can. And they're willing to shop for me while I'm at work.

It seems strange, but I believe game trade-in's count towards your dollar total. That's how my amount is so high this year.

Will most likely use of my $20 preorder certificates on Assassin's Creed 3. $15 out of pocket isn't too bad.

Edit: Best Buy says the "World of Warcraft: Mists of Panaria" is going to be $15 too, except it isn't listed (because the mispelt it?) Hopefully I can get that one and cancel my Frys backorder.

So we can only claim the deal once or 1 object per deal?

All games have been pulled from BestBuy.com, they now say "coming soon".. so no adding to your cart early.

Read the OP.. link your RZ # w/ your BestBuy account

Same here! I'm hoping to get the Black Ops Vita Bundle, Most Wanted, Medal Of Honor, Borderlads 2, and ACIII.

Well this is most likely a good thing since they had all sorts of issues last year. Seems like they are already more prepared. I really do not want to stay up but last year the sale went live early for awhile before they shut it down. Could maybe happen again?
