EDIT: I somehow missed the other thread, a MOD could merge this if they want.

Vote on Amazon's site to decide which system gets a huge price cut (limited to 1000 systems).

Details(Via Joystiq: )

While all three current-gen consoles are selling pretty well at their current prices, their MSRPs apparently aren't low enough for Amazon. The popular retail site is offering the opportunity to get a Wii for $79, an Xbox 360 Arcade for $99, or a 40GB PS3 for $139.

Before you go running off to make your order, there is a catch. Only the system that gets the most votes in the first round of Amazon's "Customers Vote" promotion will be offered at the reduced price. What's more, the offer will only be extended to 1,000 randomly-selected voters who picked the most popular choice. This last wrinkle could lead to some interesting strategic votes, as some voters might pick their second-choice system if they don't think their favorite has a chance to win. Is there a game theory expert in the house? (Update: Apparently, those who vote for the losing systems still have a chance to get their choice at a smaller discount. See this page for more details. Thanks Roger).

You may remember that last year Amazon offered a $100 Xbox 360 as part of a similar voting promotion, and the system won handily against some admittedly weak competition. Will Microsoft's console reign supreme now that its up against its peers? We'll find out on Nov. 22, when first round voting concludes.

Direct link to the voting.

Last time I checked, the Wii was winning with 55% of the votes. The PS3 had 31% and the 360 had 14%.

Some interesting sales, but I wouldn't dare venture into a store on Black Friday.
 
Walking out the house in bullet proof vests and pillow helmets
 
If you live in Detroit, attach armor plating to your car (assuming you haven't already).
 
The only one I would risk is the Kay-B buy one get one free sale. Their stores are so damn small though, I don't want to be wedged between two morbidly obsesses women. :(

I am going to try and get a Wii off Amazon though. I really wouldn't care for a Wii at this point, but for 79 bucks, you bet your ass I'm going to grab one.
 
The only thing I would want is Target's Guitar Hero III bundle. But it's not worth risking my life for.
 
I did my first Black Friday last year but all I did was wait in line for a few hours bc I had to work at 5am. I had to trust my father and siblings to do the shopping for me, but they got what I wanted.
 
Anyone try for the Amazon deal? I wasn't lucky enough to be selected. :(
 
I wanna get to KB Toys ... Mad Max status riding through the town
