Black Friday and Thanksgiving GPS Shopping Update

Things are starting to firm on pricing and deals. I missed a few in my original post so here's an update of what's happening today and tomorrow. This is not a substitute for the Black Friday original post so go check it out for more links to information on these models and other deals.

Circuit City
One reader pointed out that Circuit City is selling the Mio C310x online at $200 - $50 Mail in Rebate.... sorry all gone. I tried already. I did pick up a C340 though for a great price.... They do have the Garmin SP C330 for ~$320 and the Garmin C340 for $349. So tomorrow they are offering the Garmin C340 at $349, and the Mio C310x for $200-$50 MIR.

Best Buy
Garmin Nuvi 350 - $499 (min 4 per store)
Magellan RM 2000 - $279 (min 4 per store)

Comp USA
Mio C310X - $179 Tonight 9PM - Midnight (Midnight - 2Am in some places)
3 not-so-great deals tomorrow
Garmin C330 - $399 (Read: Garmin C330 Review or Compare the Garmin C-series line)
TomTom ONE - $449
Magellan 2000 - $399

Radio Shack
Nice little deal here, the TomTom ONE for $399 (most likely after the GiveGive $50 incentive). Still Best Price on this Unit I have seen. I've already said that this is the price point to move these fast.

Staples
Mio C310(x) - $149. They list it as the C310, but I have word from Mio that they are shipping the C310x to stores for Black Friday deals.
TomTom ONE - $449

Target - yes, Target has a GPS Special, not the best, but not bad.
Magellan RoadMate 2000 - $299

WalMart
Garmin StreetPilot C330 - $328
Garmin StreetPilot 2720 - $594 (online only)

Tweeter
Invion GPS4V106 - $179 (yea, never heard of them either)

BJ's Club
Nuvi 660 everyday - $749 (not a Black Friday deal, but it's a great price.)
Magellan RoadMate 3000T - $349 with $100 coupon Remember free traffic kit for the 3000T when you buy before 1/31/07.

Office Depot - poor deals on 2 models (skip these deals and find better prices online at amazon or GPSNow)
Garmin Nuvi 350 - $699
TomTom GO 510 - $549

Finally - I'll put in a plug for the Shop from home contingent. amazon just dropped their prices on the Garmin Nuvi 350 to below $490. So keep checking there or at GPSNow for latest pricing.
