Last year I bought an S3 in the 1st week of November. A week or so after I purchased it, they announced the Black Friday deals for the S3 and the Note 2. I think it was $150 off. It was a pain because they made me return the phone and then repurchase it during the 3 day Black Friday sale period. It took almost an hour and a half. I have been waiting for this years announcement. I am hoping it comes in a week or 2.
