JonesBeach said: Not really. We're only 10 weeks out from BF, and people at corporate have long since decided what the majority of BF items are going to be. It won't be long before more information starts to come out as more and more people at places like graphic design firms and printer and ad stuffers start to see the final lists of BF items.
Just the 2K. And I am a new member too.

If memory serves, the Fry's ad doesn't come out til Friday. So if you want to be there early you have to do it on faith. And have someone bring you the paper in line when it comes out. Last time I went to a Fry's on BF everyone rushed the doors as soon as they opened. So waiting in line didn't help anyway.

It's a great TV. I just bought the 52" version from Sears and love it. Nobody has deals anywhere near what Sears is offering.

Todays BF has crazy teens lining up at 8:00PM the night BEFORE. Why do they do this? Well they dont have jobs or much money so they will do anything to get items cheap.
BF has turn into a line of unemployed people!!!!
MUCH AGREED! Depending on what is going on I might not even go this year for the grand openings. I've gone for the past few years and last year was completely different. I used to show up with a coffee around 4:00am to 4:30am, wait till 6am, and get my stuff. Last year I drove by BestBuy and people were there at 10pm the night before. I hate to say it but my time is worth way more than the few hundred bucks I will save.
Unless there is something that is a killer deal and I am dying to get, you won't see me waiting out in the cold

"Camping at the Corner at Best Buy
The kids and I decided to try and get each of them each an inexpensive laptop for Christmas, at the Black Friday sale at Best Buy. We weren’t sure what time we would have to get there, but we guessed 3AM. And it was raining all day on Thanksgiving, so we thought maybe not so many people would want to go stand in line to save a few dollars on gifts for the relatives. So maybe we had a chance?
We gathered the camping chairs, quilts, warm gloves, a tarp, and loaded up the car. Then the kids went to sleep in the living room, so that I could wake them when I got ready to leave on our trek to the big bad world of shopping the day after Thanksgiving.
It stopped raining about 11:30PM, and I realized that more people might be willing to go freeze in line to get their goodies, than would be willing to go get soaked in line, so I woke up the chillins(they are 15 and 17 years old). They sleep walked out to the car and slid in to their seats, as I propped my eyes open with toothpicks and started to drive to the store, hoping to be one of the first 20 or 30 in line, so we could get a laptop or two.
We pulled into the parking lot, around midnight and I realized that I had seriously misjudged the hardiness of the Connecticut consumer. The Best Buy parking lot seemed surprisingly full of cars. Oops. And the whole front sidewalk area was a campground. Neatly arranged, in a line, leading to the right edge of the storefront, were at least 80 people already there. So I asked for a consensus, do we stay and try, or not, after all America is a democracy. The vote was to stay, so I pulled into a spot, and we pulled out our chairs, blankets, etc….
We set up our camping site just around the front corner of the store, fortunately under a slight overhang. I told the kids to try to get some sleep, despite the parking lot lights, and the festival type atmosphere of the people in the line. It was loud. I pulled my quilt over my head and tried to go to sleep.
Phil got cold and ended up going to sleep in the back seat of the car. Considering that he is the Boy Scout, I thought that was ironic. Juli and I toughed it out, pulling a tarp over us, when it started to rain again, which lasted for about an hour.
People started to talk to each other. People started to help each other out. I gave a sick girl a cough drop, then went to my car and got a pad for her to sit on. Another person let someone else use their chair while they were gone for a short while. People started to watch each other’s spot in line, when they had to leave for a minute. People started to communicate. Things were calm and peaceful, no arguing, no pushing.
We had been told that at 4AM tickets would be handed out that allowed you to purchase the large ticket items, in a first come, first served order. And then the doors would be opened to the store at 5AM. At 3AM the Best Buy employees showed up, and something strange happened. Suddenly all the line shifted forward, towards the front doors, immediately, in the course of seconds. And considering that there were hundreds of people in the line by this time, it was amazing to watch. I was watching it too, since I had stepped out into the plaza parking lot to see if the coffee shop would be opening up any time soon. So I was not in the line when it moved like the wave at a football game. It just condensed from all the way to the back of the building to half that size, leaving all the chairs, blankets, tents, etc, behind. My guess, people were afraid they would loose their place in line, and since the staff was there, everyone just moved forward in mass. But still, it seemed peaceful. I could see how something like that, in a stadium, at a football game, in an enclosed place, could crush people, it was so fast.
Then afterwards, people started asking what happened? And since most people were in groups, one person stayed in line, and the other brought the stuff back to the car, as I did. Our stuff was at least 200 feet away from where we were now standing. For the next hour we stood in line, with blankets wrapped around us, while the police and security told people to stay in line and kept the new people that were arriving, going to the back of the line, which was now 1000 people long. When people tried to cut in line, the people who had been there all night would chant in unison, “Back of line, back of line”. We were all united. You could join us, but you had to join us with our rules, so go to the back.
The kids and I did not end up getting a laptop, just some movies and two spindles of dvds. But I would do it again. I got to meet some interesting people. Two 20 something male friends, out to get a big screen TV. Two sisters, the older one there watching over her 24yo sister, who was there to get a computer for her 6yo son, and an older man that was next to us, who was on his first BF overnight campout. The huge TV was purchased, the son got his laptop, and while the older man did not get all he wanted, he did get some things. And I got to see population dynamics at work. To see how complete strangers interact together and form groups, and work together. And respond to people who try to break the rules that the group has set up. I have a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, so thinking back, that was a most fascinating night.
Next year, I think we will go earlier, maybe 8PM, with tents, sleeping bags, a heater, and a lantern. Maybe I will bring my video camera? "

Jeez, even the New Egg BF is lacking.
Netgear Wirless-N router, WNR834B, $100. <-- isn't that pretty much an any day price!?!
Wireless-N 330N gaming Gigabit router $180. Amazon has the same thing for $161. Jeez, this has been rated a fairly mediocre router too.
It's like the companies are touting the slow moving products as sale items... except not much of a sale. CompUSSR and the others I could see doing this, but New Egg??
The Frys BF Atlanta ad is only one page. And it's rather disappointing. 9" digital picture frame (no brand) for $47 is pretty decent though. I want to know where's the rest of the ad? I suspect they will be out with another one tomorrow.

Jazzmaster said: The front loader washer and dryer at BB, Whirlpool Duet 8300SW is listed on the BF list, as well as in this weeks ad. But here's the better deal if you are in the market for these. Lowes has the same washer and dryer and as a true fat walleter you already know, they will price match it with an additional 10% off, in stock and/or special order.
Thanks! We took advantage of this last night at lowes. $909 for the Duet Sport pair is a great deal. They will be delivered saturday, lowes has the free delivery too(after MIR).
Does anybody know how much the 3.4 washer can actually hold?

I was there last year waiting in line at about 12:30am. I'd say I was about the 30th person in line and was able to get the deal I wanted. By 2am, the line was down to the end of the building, and starting to wrap around.

Keep looking. There are two Fry's ads in the Atlanta paper. One in the main A section, and one on the back of Sports. The one you missed has the 19" LCD monitor for $89.99 AR (with a free printer), a free 2GB SD card AR, and numerous other FARs.
Found it, Doey. Thanks! I wonder if they're gonna have more than this. It's not half as much as last year...

I don't plan on camping out, but this info may help someone who is thinking of BestBuy on Jonestown Road, Harrisburg, Pa. I drove by on the way home at approximately 5:00 - 5:30 PM and there was a tent city already set up. Along with the lawn chairs, tarps etc, I would estimate that there were 100 people there by 5:00 - 5:30 PM.
