I can't figure it out, I have tried my standard browser (Firefox) and even Chrome, using my Windows PC and nothing will load up product wise. When I type in something, for example "Alan Wake" the results are just an advertisement in the middle of the page. I put in a new power supply and graphics card last night but I highly doubt that is causing the issues with their site to load properly. I have cleaned out everything, a few times actually, can't seem to get it to work. I will continue to try but in my head, I hear Yoda saying "Do or do not, there is no try". Yoda never owned a computer though.

Weird that when I first logged in I was able to search and place an order. Now (five minutes later) it is having the same problem that you have described. So, you are not alone. Using Windows and Chrome.

I've had the same problem the 2 times I tried Target's website today. No results are shown on any product searches with Firefox, Edge, or Chrome. Thankfully Target isn't having any BF deals yet.

Perhaps when Target notices a drop in their online sales they might start asking their test people to test website updates on various browsers before they roll them out.

It might be your Firefox privacy and security settings, and your Firefox browser's site-specific settings for Target.

Firefox now blocks third-party cookies by default on every site. You can change site-specific settings by first opening the Target website, then by clicking on the shield icon in the left-hand part of the address bar, then toggle off "Enhanced Tracking Protection" (on for this site, set it to off.)

After you do that, reset your cache and cookie data for Target by clicking on the lock icon in the left-hand part of the address bar when on the Target website.

Not enabling location data in permissions can sometimes mess with sites working too. You can whitelist location permissions for Target in the Firefox privacy and security settings.

Target is working fine in Firefox, Chrome, and Edge for me.

The B2G1 video games sale has a lot of exclusions. Was able to pick up a few, though.

Most promos in the entertainment department will extend from Black Friday week into Cyber Monday.

If vinyl is on sale, I will stock up because sales have been scarce this year and there are many I want.

Would love to wake up tomorrow and see Wakanda Forever like that.

Without any additional information, I would definitely watch a movie titled Doctor Strangemom

Yup tried all of that. Late last night I got some items to populate but then when I went to video games, or books for that matter, and wanted to see more of what what available, nothing appears but in the center one of their advertisements. I will play with it some more but at least seeing that others have been having the problems all of a sudden at least confirms I am not going crazy. Thank you for the tips and the time it is much appreciated, I may just uninstall Firefox and reload it and see if that corrects it.

I bought the blu-ray of Elvis for $7.50 online and picked it up in the store. At first I thought, "No slip!" Then I realized that I don't care about slips. The peer pressure is real.

Too bad. They probably had copies w/slips on the endcap.

You did post about it, so...


PS: Don't BS your own hang-ups to "peer pressure" WAH!

The 4K is going to be $9.99 at Best Buy again and it'll come with an unexpired digital copy.

Hope the B2G1 happens , Unfortunately almost everything in my cart is out of stock . They have pretty much dropped Shout and many boutiques , No mod at all . Will be probably best for preorders if you catch it fast enough .

This is my issue too. It seems they only ever have 4-6 copies of any given boutique title and when it’s gone it’s gone.

Have you noticed, when you look at all their pre-order listings it's only 6 pages now (and that's DVD included). It used to be at least 16 pages.

Welcome to the new "physical" normal

One thing I haven't seen mentioned too often is just how messy Target's Favorites list are. When I scroll pages I see (a lot of) stuff that says SOLD OUT but other stuff still has the Add To Cart Button. Except sometimes when you try to add to cart, you can't because it's out of stock... but you won't know that until you click on the item. To make it even more annoying Sold Out items and Out of Stock items both have the option to be notified via email when Target has the title available again. So I don't really know what the difference between Sold Out and Out of Stock is. Does Sold Out mean it's gone for good? But then why would they have a Notify Me When It's Back option?

Not only that, but sometimes stuff on my Favorites list disappears. Sometimes it comes back, sometimes it doesn't. And don't get me started on price changes. I mean, I know prices change everywhere merchandise is sold, but I just think it's funny to see price changes on Criterions when Criterions haven't been available at Target for like a year now.

Item not available is the one guarantee that it's gone for good. I looked up a random movie which is out of stock and has a notification option, but there's no way they'd ever restock it. So who knows what is what there.

Target has stopped marking down the random boutique blu-rays that show up on the clearance endcap at my local store. A bummer as they now just ring up at whatever Target's normal online price is.

I haven't been paying enough attention apparently, didn't even know Equalizer 3 was a thing…
