Old Navy gives away free Samsung MP3 Player as Black Friday Doorbuster

Topic:

We would not necessarily think of Old Navy a shop where you can score a bargain on consumer electronics as this is just a clothing retailer where you get a warm sweater for cheap. But the marketing people at Old Navy are smart and decided to give away free Samsung MP3 players on Black Friday with any $20 purchase or higher according to BlackFriday.info. This is a doorbuster deal, which means supply is very limited.
We do not know what model the Samsung MP3 player is. My guess it is most likely the YP-S2 which is comparable to the iPod shuffle. I got one of these for free at a Samsung conference a couple months ago. Read more
