Thanks to "Schwoozer" at Fatwallet.com for the info:
Now Sears is offering other promotions as well.
-Instant Cash Back for using a Sears card: $50 for HDTVs under 40", $150 for HDTVs 40"-49", and $250 for HDTVs 50" and up. This deal expires on 11/17, so it will be in effect for the VIP sale, but not BF.
-jmoney48 indicates that there will also be a 10% MIR promotion when using a Sears card as well. While not listed in any of the literature leaked thus far, this is a promotion that Sears has run before, and in a stackable manner.
-Sears is offering double reward points on purchases that night, so there may be additional benefits as well, but I won't include those in this price list.
Now for the list of HDTVs. All have the appropriate size disounct listed and the MIR, along with the 5% discount if applicable (only TVs $999 and up). All prices are from the Sears BF ad leaks, sometimes using information contained in the small print. For example, I subtract out XXX from the list price when that price is "before $XXX instant savings," and I use the "After noon" price for all doorbusters.

Doorbusters using the "after noon" price
46" Sharp LCD: 1200-5%-150-MIR = 990-99MIR = 891
40" Sony 1080p LCD: 1700-5%-150-MIR = 1465-146.5MIR = 1318.50
42" Sylvania 1080p LCD: 1000-5%-150-MIR = 800-80MIR = 720

32" Vizio ($598) LCD: 630-50-MIR = 580-58MIR = 522
One other HDTV of note, IMO, is the Vizio 50" Jive plasma. It includes a wireless 5.1 surround system for those interested in an all-in-one solution. Even if it is not on sale at all, it would be
1500-5%-250-MIR = 1175-117.50MIR = 1057.50
Of course, this set has been on sale as low as $1400 recently, so who knows. Also, there may be other non-BF sets that could be hot deals that I just don't know about. I'm in the market for a 50" plasma myself, so obviously this is where my own searching is focused.
