Anyone see any good deals in the paper for tomorrow morning?

Found an unadvertised $249 laptop at Best Buy (regular price $600)

Since they are handing out tickets at 4am, guess I'll be there at 3am waiting in line. Once you have a ticket to buy you can get the unit any time between 5am and noon. Fairly good deal. Doesn't have a DVD burner though.

There is also HP laptop with a DVD burner for $379 (regular price $749)

I'd go with the HP, simply because we had a Toshiba laptop turn to crap on us, constant problems/issues that were never completely resolved.

The plasma looks like a hell of a deal, I'm thinking about grabbing one now.

EDIT: Although the plasma is a good deal, its native resolution is 768p.

HP Laptops aren't so great either. I recently bought a DV9008 and within the first 8 days of ownership it blew up. I mean literally started smoking. So I took it back and replaced it with another one and I haven't even touched it yet. it sits in the box, new and UNUSED. Tis a shame HP used to make some decent notebooks.

Then again, $250 is throwaway money if we are talking laptops.
