Going for the Samsung P-1600 Blu-Ray player.

Here's hoping the football fans will be too busy scoping out tailgating spots for the Backyard Brawl to hit the doorbuster specials. :D

Does anyone know if Tiger Direct or Newegg are having black friday sales?

I will be getting about $1200 from my student loans next week and I was going to build a new computer. But I may end up getting a new laptop during black friday and wait till the remainder of my refund comes next summer to build the new computer..

If I don't blow it all on building a new comp I will be camping outside Best Buy.



Oh and if you are getting Left 4 Dead 2 for Xbox 360 and don't need to buy it at launch it is going to be $35 on Black Friday at Best Buy.

I'm going to be staying home drinking, or if I'm lucky, having a gaming session with some friends.

Change of plans, the amount I am getting back is not as much as I thought and also my sister had leaked that my parents were going to pay off my car for Christmas but now they aren't. They are going to pay whatever is left when I transfer to a different school next fall when I will only owe like $200 :p. So like $100-200 is going to go to black friday/christmas gifts and the rest toward my car.

I'm working from 7am-4pm at Best Buy that day. I've never understood you crazy fuckers who would camp out in front of a store just to save a few bucks, either. The deals really aren't that great compared to what you can find online.

Whatever. At least I don't have to get there at 3 or 4am like some of my co-workers.

My friend Mark got a $1500 40" LCD TV like 3 or so years ago when they were all expensive like that for $800 on Black Friday... The wait in the cold was worth that kind of money.

This, but replace BB with Sears and with merchandise pick-up.

So, to any of you showing up in a 2-door car and wanting to jam a 50 inch TV/elliptical machine/etc in it, let me speak for all retail associates when I say you're and idiot and we make fun of you. Rent a truck. Seriously.

The best part is once I decided something wouldn't fit, I was allowed to tell the customer I can't help anymore because of liability issues. Same thing if they took it out of the box/boxes. :p

I have had the misfortune to work retail on Black Friday before. I have since then vowed to NEVER subject another human soul to such barbarism and cruelty. Therefore I will sit on the couch, digest my Thanksgiving dinner, and play video games.

I usually go with my lil sis to target, JCPenny, ect at 3:30am... but I think I will drag my hungover'd ass out of bed and make the boyfriend do so as well and we will do our own shopping.

The stuff I see online (thanks, DA) isn't too great. I may just sleep in.

Man I loved those fucking idiots when I worked at Home Depot. We'd make them sign a waiver before loading their Geo Tracker with 1000lbs worth of concrete and plywood. Hilarity.

Had a guy get yelled at by his wife in Spanish for 20 minutes after we refused to load a complete patio set (table, 4 chairs, umbrella) into his little Nissan.

I'm need new work clothes so I'm hoping for some decent sales at Kohl's or the like. I think my co-workers are starting to notice that I wear the same thing every week. Of course I'm incredibly lazy too, so I may just pass.

Hey, me too! I wear the same 4 outfits to tutoring and student teaching every week. It just makes life simpler. ;D I hope you find some fun stuff, though!

Unfortunately, I have to work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday this year (which is great because I need the money, but horrible because I detest people), but in the years that I haven't worked, I refuse to go out on Black Friday for this reason.
