Video Asylum

All right video experts, what's wrong with this Black Friday deal at Best Buy

108.71.181.131

Road Warrior

50", Panny, 1080p, LED, $199. My son and GF saw the ad this morning and are all in a tizzy over this deal. Most likely, no certainly, it's a bottom line LED but my 65" Panny plasma is bottom of the line and works perfectly. So, how can they go wrong?

Hah, those 50" $199 Panasonic LEDs are all over the Dallas Craigslist, NEW in box, about $450 - Road Warrior 21:26:41 12/02/14 (0)
I just did a search of Craigslist, after Nov 29, over 25 ads for New 50" Pannys, in For Sale By Owner. Before Nov 29, not a single ad up.

The boy and his GF got a 55" Vizio LED with a small contribution from dad for $529. They're happy.

Moot point now, the kids went over at 4:30 (store opened at 5pm), line almost wrapped around the bldng - Road Warrior 15:44:24 11/27/14 (0)
A store rep outside said they only had 20 of them for that price. They could take their chances that there'd be 1 left but there were hundreds in front of them.

There's no comparison between the Panasonic plasmas... - Mr. Dick Hertz 11:47:58 11/27/14 (2)
...and Panny LED's.
And yet despite the look on my face, you're still talking.
- Agreed but, they're a young couple, money tight, bright, apartment, living room. I, the lover of plasma, - Road Warrior 12:12:00 11/27/14 (1)
  advised them against plasma. I noted the referenced set had a 4.5 avg review score out of 79 reviews at Best Buy's website.

  - It would be pretty difficult recommending a plasma. - Mr. Dick Hertz 12:48:16 11/27/14 (0)
    Limited selection of LG, Samsung's, and Vizio and that's about it. I waited too long to score one of the last Panasonics, but did manage to get a top-of-the-line Samsung. Very happy with it.

The snootier folks here will deride it... - rlw 09:08:49 11/27/14 (0)
But your son and GF will probably quite enjoy it. And the price is certainly very attractive.

Is there only one available and you have to wait in line to get it??
- Yea, I'm sure there'll be a line with limited quantities available. Consumer Reports online - Road Warrior 10:05:18 11/27/14 (0)
  rated it the second best Black Friday deal. It's sold out online at Best Buy's website. That's just a crazy ass deal.
