			Who's participating in the madness? I'm going to try and get to Best Buy by 6:00 to take advantage of some deals. I'm a Black Friday virgin. Am I going to get owned? Probably. I'm hoping it won't be a zoo, but the reasoning center of my brain tells me "Don't hold your breath."

			Who's participating in the madness? Actually, there is some good deals at Best Buy, alot of good DVD's for like $11.99 like Lion King and such. And there seems to be a decent camcorder (we've been wanting one) for $100 dollars off. But only until noon on friday!

			Who's participating in the madness? Just got back! 5th year of Black Friday for me... slept over a friends house, set the alarm to 2 A.M. got up and drove a mini-van to BestBuy. Arrived at 2:45 A.M. People had tents and had camped out there, others had a grill and were making eggs and bacon... :lol: I was aprox. 30-40 in line with my friend and his brother. They opened the store an extra hour early because the line was already past 350 people. What I purchased: 2 460 watt car amplifiers 4 10" subwoofers 2 bandpass quad-ported sub enclosures ^ for $200 w/o rebates :lol: my friend got a DVD-/+R/W drive for $80 ($130-$50worth of rebates) and we each got a 25pack of DVD-R's from CompUSA for $25 w/o rebates... so it was a good day

			Who's participating in the madness? I've never seen so many people. Needless to say, from now on I will wait for pre- and post-christmas deals. This is not really worth it. Yes, Ice, I am crazy. But I had to see it for myself. I did manage to snag a hard drive at Staples. They were dead. :lol:

			Who's participating in the madness? Just got back from Wal-Mart. Spent two hours in line to put a Zelda bundle GameCube in Lay-a-Way for $79.44, for my girlfriend's x-mas present. Two hours to save $20. I either really love my girlfriend or I really want MY GameCube back.

The later :lol:

But hey, that was such a crazy good deal. I called walmart yesterday, asking if they had any of those units, and they said they were in full supply. This morning at about 8:30am, I called back, and they said they were out!

			Who's participating in the madness? I went to Barnes and Noble today to pick up some stuff I needed for the week, although if I had a choice I wouldn't of. Problem is that the Barnes and Noble lies in a very large shopping center. After getting within 5 miles, I realized the drivers out there are just nuts (some wouldn't let me into thier lane ahead of them when an ambulance was flying behind me). When I did get to where I needed to, the parking situation was just terrible (people just dumped their cars wherever, regardless of whether it was a parking spot, a section of a road, etc). There of course were other customers who had become psuedo-traffic cops, directing people wherever so that they could stick thier cars, or friends cars where it was convienient . If they were willing to walk about from just outside the area though (where grocery stores, fast food are), like I did, you would find tons of parking. Guess people just don't like the cold. Fortunately Barnes and Noble wasn't bad (not too many shoppers). Guess that's not suprising, though there were a ton of good deals on books. I guess it's always easy to ax prices at a bookstore when you have so much inventory and tons that may never get sold.

			Who's participating in the madness? the sales werent even that good, i looked over all the black friday lists and said screw this, not worth it

		racketboy		Nov 28, 2003
			Who's participating in the madness? yeah the sales pretty much sucked compared to past years. I picked up my Cruzer Lite USB Drive and some extra scissors at Staples. Also went to my wife to Mervyns. They gave out $5 gift certificates to first so many people. We each got one. Then since I didn't want to shop, I went out the exit, went out the other entrance and got another $5. My wife found stuff to get so we saved a good amount there.

Man I went to Best Buy to get the exact same damn mp3 player lol. I got there around 7:30 am and was told that they were sold out of them within 20 minutes of when they opened the store. bastards...

So I decide to go ahead a grab a dvd and a cd I had been wanting. Took me 20 damn minutes to navigate the crowd even though I knew exactly where I was going in the store. Then I walked up front to get in line and realized that the entire crowd in the store was the line... I asked somebody how long they had been waiting to pay and he told me 2 hours and he would sell me his spot for $50 lol. I quickly put my cd and dvd on a stack of crap and walked out the door...
