Best Buy Leaks Black Friday Ad; Will Pass Out Tickets to Avoid Consumer Stampede

bestbuy

Best Buy’s Black Friday ad has leaked, which means it’s time to do some serious itinerary planning for the big day. See, I like me and my fiancee set up a full contingency plan based on what we want the most for us, then comes gifts for others. Come on, we need to set priorities people! Strategy is the name of the game on Black Friday.

So Best Buy has some moderately cool deals, especially in the video game department, but nothing mind-blowing. Though what might be notable is that Best Buy is not going to allow for anyone to get hurt this year because of their doorbuster deals. Apparently they don’t take “death by stampede” lightly. All doorbuster sales will be handled via tickets, which will be passed out up to two hours before the 5 am door openings. Hit the jump for a full-list of Black Friday Best Buy deals. Doorbusters are followed by an asterisk.

Garden Jawas Are the New Gnomes

star-wars-garden-jawa-11

Call them Garden Jawas, garden gnomes or garden dwarves, they’re all garden little people to me. You know how I’m always extremely politically correct. We wouldn’t want any midgets hating on Gearfuse, now would we? Little adorable buggers.

As long as it keeps its little hands off my droids, we’re cool.

Got a Little Boba in You?

Boba Fett is my personal rum of choice and probably my favorite alcoholic beverage. But nothing can beat a tall Obiweiser on a hot Tatooine day.

Comb USB Flash Drive Keeps Data and Stray Hairs in Place

It’s hard to keep yourself well-groomed when you’re sitting in front of a computer screen all-day. Sometimes I look in the mirror and jump make in shock. “Who the hell is that grizzly hobo staring back at me?”

This $35 USB Comb Drive gives me an excuse to perform the most basic of hygienic acts, no matter how busy I might pretend to be. Now all I need is a pube trimming mouse.

A great edible gift for a Panda, not such a great edible gift for Panda pet owners. The 106-key Bamboo Keyboard and Mouse from Brando connects to your computer via its USB port and offers support for Window 2000/XP/Vista and Linux.

If you live in a heavy Panda bear population, you might want to either lock the keyboard up tight or mask its scent with your (hey, we don’t judge, Ok, maybe we do judge a little bit) or your mom’s perfume or something. You can purchase both keyboard and mouse individually or you can buy them together for $52.

Turn an Unused PC Slot Into a Safe Drawer

pc-slot-safe-drawer

Now this is a great idea. A great idea that I didn’t think of first? Now that doesn’t happen everyday. But for this idea, I must concede defeat, as I would never have thought of such an ingenious space saver. Wait a second, I take that back, I so thought of this first. Yeah… totally did.

The PC Drawer and Locking Safe fills your empty PC slot with a little safe drawer to keep all of your co-workers / family members from stealing all of your damn paper clips. It’s not the cost so much as the fact that they never ask! It’s the principle of the thing.

Sticky Note USB Pad Drive

Even though we’ve pretty much sworn off paper in exchange for various gadgets, it’s always nice to have a pad of paper and a few stacks of Post-It notes sitting around the house, just in case you need to jot down a phone number really quick or something.

This Sticky Note USB Drive saves you a few centimeters by integrating the Post-It note pad right into the design of your 2 GB USB drive. Paper might be dead to us, but this is pretty damn cool, even if it’s just used to look pretty.
