I'm about to head out around to the different places and get pictures.

Don't forget, depending on where you live, CompUSSR is opening up at either 9pm or midnight for a 3 hours sale!

One day you might realize that time off to spend with your family is priceless.

onion said:Slickone said:Funny that some people will stand in line that long when they could probably just go to work and make more money than they would save on the BF items, or than they'd make if they're just going to fleabay them. Without any of the hassle of waiting/buying/fleabaying/shipping. Or the chance of getting shot.

My time, sanity, and safety is worth more than that.Common sense tells you that most people have off till monday. Why sit at home when you can make a few hundered $$$?

Many of these people are college kids who CAN'T be home with their family for T-Day...I would much rather be hanging out being stupid saving/making money with friends, then sitting around an empty dorm watching TV...

Drove by two BBs and each had at least 30 people already. To top it off, its raining. I guess getting a pneumonia along is worth saving a couple bucks

Best Buy in Lafayette, IN has about 40 people in line. They don't allow tents here, but gonna be a warm night..

Word outside here is that they have 30 PS3 in the back...(Someone else posted something similar and just wondering if this is something up BB sleeves)

There were at LEAST 100 ppl in line at St. Matthews in Lousiville, KY at 9:30pm. Line starts at the door, goes down the length of the building, around the corner and halway down the back of the building.

Crazy.

Not crazy...GREED. A lot of these folks are buying things they think they can flip on fleabay. Hoarding PS3s and Wiis to price gouge them later while kids go without on Christmas. You gotta love what we've done to the "holidays".

I just get back from CompUSA, pass by BestBuy next door, and there were about 30-40 people in the line well-prepared.
This is in SE Michigan at 9pm. Temp is about 29F.

I got online this morning and bought several things off the BF flyer for Best Buy. The 19" and 22" lcds were marked as sold out online, and the DVD-R spindles are instore only, but the console games and computers (don't know about the 7 hour doorbusters) are available at the flyer price online.
