Just one more month

So who's going to freeze there ass off till all hours of the morning just to "buy things for your friends/family" aka "treat yourself to a new computer or TV"?

And if you are planning on joining the rest of us, what are you planning on buying?

I'm trying to get some ideas for myself. Last year I bought a HP laptop and printer for $350 at best buy

There really hasn't been shit for the last few years...I think I got some tools last year but that was about it. I'll probably just pick up Blu Rays or games since I pretty much have everything I want

OH, and i'll never get there early again. Maybe 5 minutes or some shit...but I managed to get everything I wanted last year by simply walking in, fuck waiting in line.

Hahaha I feel you there man.
The only time I have ever waited over night was for my 360 when it came out.
Otherwise I let my jackass friends wait there, and I show up 30 min before opening.

I need an external HD pretty bad, could also use a new radar detector.

agreed with poster #2...nothing really great in terms of deals

I did get an Xbox360 + Rock Band 2 for $199 tho

I remember the year I got my PS3 I was face palming so freaking hard. I waited in line for the PS3 and they only had a few at like $350 for the 60gig or something. Which obviously was a deal worth waiting for because they were normally $500

Well, either way, the lady infront of me was waiting with her two daughters...and it's like 40F outside...for $99 fucking 15" monitors. I was like wtf? Seriously? They're like $129 EVERYDAY and you're going to stand in line for that shit? Sure enough, half the people there were waiting for ridiculous stupid shit...

I'm going to storm the CD-R aisle for a 50 pack at $5.

Im going to try and get myself a nicer blue ray player.

I wonder if they'll have those super thin LCD TV's on sale? Those things are soooo sick

Dealnightfire · 10-21-2009, 01:08 AM

I usually just hit up Amazon.com. They match a lot of the black friday deals

I've had some good times on black friday. Its the one time a year where you can basically mosh on crazy moms in the stores with no consequences.

haha, no kidding. I used to work at frys electronics, and there were people who started lining up/camping outside two days before haha.

like you said, most people seem to fail to realize that they've waited in line for hours(or days lol) to save 20 bucks...sure there are some really good deals, but most of the time its just not worth it to wait in line for.
