All right, folks, brace yourselves–Best Buy just leaked its Black Friday deals, even though at this point they’re a little behind the curve;  Sears and Office Depot had theirs out weeks ago.  But given as it’s still about a week and a half out from Black Friday, there’s still plenty of time to call this a leak.

And what they’ve got is pretty interesting, too–check out this list!  There are a LOT of items for sale here, so I’m just going to cherry pick some of the better ones.  The read link will have a bigger list on hand.

• HP Desktop AMD X4 Quad Core, 8GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive w/20” Monitor, HP Deskjet DJ350 Color Printer & Windows 7 Home Premium – $499.97
• Sony 15” Laptop w/Intel Dual Core Processor, 4GB RAM, 320GB HD, Windows 7, Sony Headphones, Built-In Blu-ray, Blu-ray Movie – $479.97

As we draw closer to holiday shopping time we are seeing more and more Black Friday deals revealed.  And while many of those have been issued from the retailer themselves, Walmart looks to be holding out a bit longer, that it until today when an ‘off the chain’ Xbox 360 deal was leaked out.

According to the above screen shot the ‘Rollback’ retailer will be selling an Xbox 360 Arcade console for $199 with a $100 gift card, which essentially brings the total price to $99 (plus tax).  The only thing that doesn’t make sense is that it says ‘weekly events – week 41′.  The problem with that is that we’re already in week 42 of the year, but let’s hope they’re working off a fiscal calendar.

Strap in and brace yourselves all over, kids, because I got a HOT list of deals here for the upcoming Black Friday sales!  Seems that Office Max dropped the dime a bit early on what they’ll be offering up for cheap the day after Thanksgiving (early?? It’s not even HALLOWEEN and they’re talking Black Friday!), but their incredibly gauche behavior brings you a whole lot of deals.  Check THIS out!

How about an Acer netbook for $150?  I know, you’re probably blinking rapidly and reading that again, but it’s true.  And it’s not where the deals end…but where they BEGIN, my friends. How about a Compaq Presario AMD Athlon II dual-core CPU for $240?  Maybe you like the DVDs…well, you can get a Memorex portable DVD player with seven-inch screen for $30.  Start hunting for couch change now and by Thanksgiving you should have enough for even a Magellan RoadMate 1440 GPS.  Just $70!

It’s enough to make even the most hesitant shopper think twice about clutching the wallet in a death grip.

If you bought a Palm PRE at full price just a few days ago, or even for $99.99 from Amazon, you should be kicking yourself right now. Letstalk.com now offers the WebOS phone for an ultra low $79.99 after a 2-year contract signing. Crazy? Perhaps, but this seems to be a good indicator that the PRE…

Before you start tossing rotten fruit at me and calling this info unsubstantiated I’m gonna admit just that.  Now that I’ve got that out of the way, you should know that Microsoft is going to release a Zune HD, there is no doubt about that, hence the leaked artwork now and from this past weekend. Now the rumorville says the iPod Touch competitor will feature a an NVidia chipset, which will enable the PMP to play Xbox games.  Say what?  Well, we know Microsoft already has the licensing in order, so it seems like a smart move especially since Apple has started to position the Touch in this manner.  Capacity of the Zune HD will range between 16GB and 32GB, and to put the Zune HD one step ahead of the competition we might see an AMOLED touchscreen, which is also rumored to appear in the next iteration of the iPod Touch and iPhone.

Note, the above picture could be a complete render, no one really knows, but it seems likely.

Loyal T-Mobile customers will be pleased to hear that the service provider is set to roll out heavily discounted unlimited talk plans.  So far the plans have only emerged for San Fransico customers that have had a contract for 22+ months and are in good standing.  The individual, unlimited talk plan runs $49.99, while a family plan with two lines will start at $89.99 – each line, up to 3 in total, is $39.99.  From the sounds of it data plans will remain the same, but all said and done, and all in, an individual plan with unlimited voice, data and messaging will cost just $84.97 (before taxes and fees).

Not a bad deal, that is assuming you don’t live in LA, which has the worst T-Mobile coverage for a major city.  With that said, the Unlimited Loyalty Plans are said to go nationwide March 1st.  Any SF folks care to chime in before then?
