Have you been waiting until Black Friday to invest in a stupidly big TV?

Is your MacBook from college finally on its death bed? (Like my roommate’s.)

Is your iPhone screen shattered? (Like mine.)

Or do you just have a fascination (but not the budget) for the latest and greatest gadgets?

Well, this is your weekend.

Best Buy turning 50 and it’s celebrating with 50-hours of 50 Black Friday like specials online and in stores.

The sale begins at 11 p.m. today (Thursday) and ends at 12:59 p.m. on Saturday. The offers are a lead-up to the 50th anniversary of the company, which opened its first store on Aug. 22, 1966.

Deals included in the Best Buy 50-Hour Anniversary Sale:

Nearly all of these deals are available both in-store and on BestBuy.com. Customers shopping on BestBuy.com also can get free, two-day shipping on almost everything included in the sale.
