How about this is android fan site stop being lazy and Google 3d tvs sales
Ansel thanks for your answer and of course I have we are all looking for good prices everywhere however this is the reason of this article and this is why I love Phandroid they help you with your questions.
I do remember back in March Chris published an article about a 46″ led lcd google tv with six pair of glasses it was less than 1,000 but I didn’t get it because I assumed I was going to be able to beat that on the black friday and here I am trying to do so.
Sorry i woke uo very crancky hahahah. And not thinking about it i responded the way I did. But yeah i knew you probably meant google tvs.
That’s ok dude no problema!
Check out Amazon, Walmart, Newegg, Ebay…and believe it or not you can go to cnet…they have reviews and pricing for different retailers on several tvs.
Edit: forgot about best buy…Happy Hunting!
Thanks I appreciate your answer I have but I am still looking for the right one.
Thanks again.
thanks Bmg good look to you too.
I meant Luck typo…!
My dad was signing up with us cellular yesterday and they said to come back Monday to get the Samsung galaxy s3 for free, this was at a retail location in Iowa. even though the website says 200, they were offering it for 100 yesterday.it might be worth waiting, or call tomorrow if theyre willing to confirm Mondays price
Galaxy S 3 for a buck at Sam’s Club…
Do you know for which carrier they are doing this for?
TMobile, VZW, Sprint, AT&T
Sorry… believe it’s Verizon, AT&T and Sprint
The only deal I want is a Nexus 4.
You missed Asphalt 7:Heat for $.99 on the Play Store
It has always been $0.99.. lol
Happy Thanksgiving folks ;)
The GS3 for Verizon is $125 if you are on a family plan. Which blows. Walmart has the GS3 for all carriers for $129 and you get a $100 gift card. So its basically $29. Thats the best Verizon GS3 I’ve seen.
The T-mo prices are just the down payment; should really give the final total including the 20 months of remaining payments:
Galaxy S3: $100 down (after $50 MIR), total $550
Galaxy Note II: $200 down (after $50 MIR), total $700
Galaxy S Blaze 4G: $0 down (after $50 MIR), total $350
Galaxy S2: $0 down (after $100 MIR), total $700
Galaxy S Relay 4G: $50 down (after $50 MIR), total $500
Galaxy Exhibit 4G: $0 down (after $50 MIR), total $350
Galaxy Tab 10.1: $100 down (after $100 MIR), total $500
Of course the no-contract prices always stay the same whenever sales like this show up.
In this case, though, T-mo is actively promoting the pricing based on their Value plans (the lower-priced, formerly-contract-free line). I’m on a Value plan and so an S3 would actually cost me $550 even though I’d only pay $100 (really $150) up front.
It’s just a little misleading to say “hey, you can get this device for $X on a Value plan” when it doesn’t give you the true cost. People might not think about that $20/mo or so they’ll be paying to finish paying off the device. :)
The way I see its kind of a lay-away plan but you get to use the item while you’re paying for it….I just don’t like how much they are charging for the Nexus 4. They are charging more then if you would just get it form the Play Store and I’m sure that a lot of people will fall that.
Credo Mobile has all of their phones, including the S3, for free.
I work at the phone kiosk inside Costco and just got word that we will have the S3 for at&t and verizon for $30 after $100 mail in rebate with free accessories
How about T Mobile? A guy at costco advised me to wait until friday because it will be super cheap. Maybe it was you O.o
Not sure about tmobile. I know last Friday and Saturday we had it for $30 for Magenta days so not sure. I’d come in and check it out though!
N.O.V.A 3
^ its only for kindle
There’s a new Ps3 bundle available at sony.com its a 250GB with 5 games (Infamous Collection and Uncharted Dual Pack) for 199.99!
Where? I can’t find it. Sounds too good to be true.
it’s true see it yourself I just got mine but darn it I forgot black ops2! https://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666513657
You’re right. Thanks for the link!
Welcome!
Sam’s Club has the GS3 for $0.96 for Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint.
Android Tablets for as low as $67.99 through Strivetek. I purchased one a few weeks ago and love it. Ordering 3 more this evening as gifts.

Anyone see any GS3 deals for a Verizon customer not eligible for an upgrade yet? I’d love to upgrade, but everywhere I’ve checked so far only offers me full retail, which sucks.
