I've turned up early for Black Friday sales before, but everything is always sold out by the time I make it inside the store. :\

Thats why you go EARLY

(Yes it sucks, but I'll still do it for the deals you can get)

Last year, I got to Best Buy about an hour before they opened. By the time they let everyone in, there was a line around the block. I was in the store within 2 minutes of them opening and they were still sold out of everything I wanted.

Maybe it's because I live in such a large city. :(

No, it happens here too. You just gotta know what you want, get in, grab it, and get out.

Don't expect the same level of door-buster goods this year. A lot of retailers took a major hit in the end after last year's Black Friday ad, and many have seriously stepped down their amazing deals in an attempt to actually make money.

I now have 400gb of sweet, sweet storage space.

I woke up at 4:30am and I now have around 260 gb of space, a shiny new 40 pack of dvdrs, two and a half hours of screwing, unscrewing and cursing to gain the knowledge to install a harddrive, a cable that came with the HD that doesn't work, and a dvd burner that isn't plugged in at the moment because I only have one cable.

Overall I'm good. :)

I wish I'd seen this before, even though I didn't go to target.. A wake-up call would have been cool.

I had it call me like an hour after I saw this thread. It wasn't even Vader. It was some guy who sounded nothing like a stormtrooper and some heavy breathing. I was upset.
