Best Buy’s 2012 Black Friday circular ad is loaded with intriguing home entertainment deals designed to compete with Target, Walmart, Toys R Us and other retailers eagerly anticipating shoppers lining for deals shortly after Thanksgiving dinner goes down the gullet. I have picked through the ad and partitioned out the Blu-rays, video games and tech deals that fall under home entertainment.
Doorbuster deal hunters will find a Toshiba Blu-ray player for $39.99, on part with a similar player and price that will appear at Walmart. Also falling under doorbusters is a 40″ Toshiba LDC HDTV for $179.99, The Hunger Games Blu-ray for $8.99, and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 tablet for $179.99.
