At home too. Might go out for a cruise through dealer lots (Shut up, GonneVille, I know you're going to say something about that ).

Don't need to see horomone-engraged women fighting over a 99 cent wrapping paper..

The first guy in line at our Best Buy was there at 9:45 AM yesterday for the Plasma TV for $899.


We just went to WalMart, go there about 9:30, all the stuff we wanted was still there. Actually, I have seen the store way busier on normal days too.
Also go to the mall about 10:45, parking was CRAZY, but still got the good deals.

Last year some people in front of my Best Buy were arrested for trying to sell fake tickets for items on sale. Personally, I usually don't have enough money for big ticket items, even if they're on sale, so I don't usually do Black Friday. Last year I got a Samsung 19" widescreen that I resold for 2.5x what I paid for it.

grr.. guitar hero 3 bundle is sold out everywhere

the part that pisses me off is when i went to pick up my 360, they still had some left but i didnt get one because i had been rung up already and didnt want to go threw the lines and i figured there would still be more. now they are no where to be seen

two experiences worth sharing:

there was an ambulance called to the best buy next to where i work before either store opened. no one knows why (at least, i dont).

yet again this year, we opened the doors and literally people sprinted across the store, grabbing carts as they went.

and another experience which ill share in another thread.
