The blog post I made last Sunday has turned into a competition between a few popular deal sites. I don’t want to name anyone in particular but looking at emails people used in the comments, it is clear that the websites’ employees are involved as well.
Oh well, I can’t really prevent this and the only way to combat the issue is to have a broader participation in the poll. So far 96 people voted. If you have a favorite deal site, make your voice heard!

Update 11/27: the deal has expired. Go to Hard Drives at Buxr.com for more deals like this one
Newegg has a 1 TB internal hard drive (expired) from Western Digital currently for $269.99. The price goes down by $30 when promotion code PPAL1126HDD03 is applied. Pay with Paypal and you will get 20% cash back, thanks to this Paypal promotion. This brings the price down to $192 shipped, or $0.19 per GB.
- Pros: One terabyte of storage and 16 MB of cache along with WD reliability and the three year warranty; all at an unheard-of price per gigabyte.
- Cons: Not 7200 rpm (however, at this size, that’s more of a quibble than a real con).
I wonder how long it will take for this 1 TB technological marvel at this great price to start looking just like this 10 MB “dinosaur” for $3398 on the picture below (found via Digg). ;-)

Starting tomorrow, November 26, 2007, you can take advantage of a great deal of offers from a number of merchants plus every time you make a purchase using your Paypal account you will be automatically entered in sweepstakes.
The official rules page claims that for a limited time you will get 20% cash back from all your purchases (the merchant must indicate participation on their site). Just remember to use your Paypal account for the payment.
Also, several merchants will offer exclusive deals that I summarized up below. Got to the official PayPal holiday page for more information.

I have been tracking deal sites popularity for over a year now and it just occurred to me that I never really asked you, my readers, what is your favorite deal site?
So here it goes. I seeded the answers with top 20 sites from the last month list but feel free to add your own favorites in the comments and I will include them in voting.
What is your favorite deal site?

Several stores have published online their Black Friday circular. Here is a summary that I borrowed from this FatWallet thread:
As I already mentioned, I plan to spend this Friday home with my family. If you do go though, please let me know what I have missed.
