Just when you thought name brand HDTVs couldn't get any cheaper, BestBuy.com pulls this one out of their hat.  It's a 50-inch plasma HDTV from Samsung (model PN50A400) for an unbelievably low $797.99 and, since you won't be able to find it easily on the Best Buy site, here's the direct link:

Update: 50-inch model currently sold out on Best Buy but it is available from the following sources (as of 12/03)

BestBuy still has the 42-inch model for $699.99:

Good luck finding a better deal on a name brand 50-inch plasma HDTV on Black Friday or any other day.  Best Buy joins Amazon, Sears and other e-tailers offering their best deals early to get a share of the dwindling holiday shopping dollars.  This deal is available for delivery or for online purchase/in-store pick-up in many stores.
