Black Friday

[bentothejam1n]

So i think im going to go to Best Buy this Friday but i've never been before. So im wondering what should i expect and what time would you recomend being at best buy?

Wear Kevlar and arm yourself. I got punched in the back of the head last year at Wal-mart. I would bring your Ipod or a Gameboy too because the lines are going to be forever and a day long. What I usually do Is bring someone with me to get in line as soon as we get there and then by the time I am done they are a lot closer to the front.

expect really long lines....what my friend does: go the day before and know were everything is and what you want to get. When it opens, have someone immediatly go stand in line, while 1 or 2 people go grab what you want. Otherwise you can expect to wait hours in line (at least the one by my house)

Wow me and Geek are on the same wavelngth today. Are you my lost twin from birth?!

I'm showing up @ 10pm thursday night with 3 buddies, a dome tent (ohio is cold), and a case of beer. My buds and I do it every year!
Anybody need anything? :D

PS - to get any of the good deals... show up by 1/2am and you'll stand a fair chance of getting them.

Do like I'm doing. Get to CC at 12, wait for someone to show up, get out of truck, wait in line until 5, get T.V.'s, get laptop, checkout, out by 6 latest.

I love living in the sticks. No. There won't be.

Uhh, I will probably be going at like 7 am to Circuit City to get an iPod and a flash drive. There is a big Best Buy close by, so alot of people will be there.

Then again, all of Somerset County will be there too....Damn.

Best Buy opens at 5am for Black Friday. My daughter is going to go camp out for a $250 laptop.

WOO HOO!

[spike_ball999]

I get to work it too at Pac Sun. It's gonna be crazy!

My plans have changed. I can pretty much get everything I want for the same price online. I am gauranteed to get the product, so why risk it by going out?

Do stores have sales that are currently unadvertised? For example, maybe tomorrow a store would have a blanket 10% in store only sale. I'm guessing such a sale woud be store-by-store only...I dont know though. Or is it pretty much what ever is seen online is what can be found in store?

[MantisMag]

i'm surprised. work wasn't that bad. sure we had a lot of customers but for once we actually had enough people scheduled to deal with it.

also i now have a pink santa hat with rhinestones on it that i'll be wearing for the next month. :rofl:

[Pneumagger]

I showed up at 2pm thursday and camped out. My buddies and I were # 7,8,9 in line. Needless to say... I got a lot of crap.

Games
2 laptops
Desktop
MP3 players
flash drives
etc.

I'd say only about 10% of what I got actually ended up for me or gifts I'm giving to others. The rest was sold off.
