Amazon.com put out their black friday deals. Just got them in an email. And of course Gamestop/Best Buy/Walmart have theirs out as well. What I would love to get though...a 40" Plasma...i've got an LCD...but it's old and small[15 inches] so an upgrade would be very nice. Too bad I don't have the cash for it.

Nothing special but my inner metalhead compels me to mention this song:

NP: Megadeth - Good Mourning/Black Friday

Such an epic intro :3

I saw Sonic Chronicles for 9.99. That was tempting.

And the XBox Black Elite with 6 games I wouldn't give a damn about + HDMI cable for 299.99 :O-And RE5 for 20. That....made me have to wash off. Twice. In a row. At a fire hydrant. With a brown paper bag.

I've been waiting for Sonic Chronicles to go super-mega cheap. Keeping a look out for that.
I'm not really planning to go Black Friday shopping. I hate long lines. I'll be checking for online deals though.

Well, I've been really wanting to get a PS3 since early this year, and I got all but $50 saved up and I get paid Wednesday. Anyway, Wal-Mart has a sweet bundle where you can get the 120 GB Slim with inFamous, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and the Dark Knight Blu-Ray movie for the regular price of 299.

Seeing as how I work there I'll get a 10% discount on this too which will pretty much mean I'll pay a dollar or two or less than the MSRP price; they only problem is I have to work at 5 that morning, and with it supposedly being a door buster deal (is available from 5 AM-11 AM), I'm afraid it might disappear before I go on a break or something!

I'm debating if I want to grab L4D2 at Best Buy for $35 D: D: D:

Other than that, there isn't too much that I want. Target has their graphic tees for $5 a piece which is nice.

Sold! I so want some of those TMNT and Mario tees. But yea Abac...SC...I need a Sonic fix. This could be it. 😛 I hope you can get that PS3 Slim bundle, Ray. That's such a great deal. Highway robbery, my man. Good luck!

You can buy Sonic Chronicles online right now, instead of fighting the crowds tomorrow . Best Buy has it for $9.99. I already grabbed my L4D2 from them last night ... The extra $3 in shipping was well worth trying to fight the damned crowds imo.

The Xbox 360 version is sold out online already... my brother wanted to grab one at one of those early morning Doorbusters before he heads to work at 8 A.M. I though I could grab it right now but no such luck. He also wants to pick up a cheap LCD TV for his room. I'll be going with to keep him company as we wait for the doors to open.

Yeah, I grabbed my copy of L4D2 at ~1am last night... Everything was supposed to go live at midnight, but they seemed to do a couple at a time.

Well, due to a convenient flyer coming to my door yesterday, Craig and I are journeying to JoAnn Fabrics tomorrow morning for a crapton of red velvet, craft lighting, and a portable steamer, all for cosplay purposes 😀 😀 😀 It's not quite as exciting as lining up for Best Buy or anything, but it's still gonna be pretty epic. Their doors open at 6AM. We will be there.

Came back a little more than an hour ago. Turned out the TV my brother was after (a 32" Sony Bravia) was at the nearby Wal-Mart, so we went there first. Must've been 4:00 A.M. when we arrived. I was completely unaware that Wal-Mart would be wide open at that hour, we just strolled right in. I was expecting a huge gathering at each of the entrances... then we found out why. The lines were INSIDE, instead of out. Already there were lines snaking every which way, one for each Black Friday special. The IPod line was whack, it went in and around the shoe department.

Fortunately, the Sony Bravia line was only two customers deep when we stumbled on it. We were 3rd in line. The staff let us know where the line was to be formed and gave us a claim ticket. Then came the waiting. Nothing was to be sold until the clocks hit 5 A.M. As we waited people continued to stream into the store. Nearby, one of the clerks had to tell a mother and her two boys that all the PS3's on sale were already spoken for. Feels bad, man. 🙁

And then, somewhere around 4:55 A.M. someone started barking like a dog (that's what it sounded like!) and people went nuts. The impenetrable wall of 50" LCD TV's (forget the brand) that was stacked somewhere out in front of us and down the middle of one of the store's main aisles... competely torn down in less than 10 seconds. People were rushing all over the place. Fortunately, no such commotion in our line... the staff were on hand to place the Sony Bravia in our cart and we whooshed ahead into the nearest checkout line and a waiting cashier. After some technicalities (it still wasn't 5 A.M. and the register's weren't allowing any sales to go ahead until it was), we left the store with his new TV.

All in all, a pretty good experience. I was expecting chaos, and got reasonable mayhem. ^^

We quickly stopped at the nearby Best Buy to see if we could still snag a copy of L4D2, but no such luck. Oh well!

Bummer about the L4D2, Psx!

I ended up not going to any stores this morning. Worked at my store 9-12... which extended to 9-5 when they needed the help due to a higher than expected level of traffic.

Aside from L4D2, I did grab a copy of Cars on Blu Ray (+DVD + Digital Copy )... And two of Best Buy's Dark Knight Blu Ray + mask sets from last year, one each of the Batman cowl and one of the Joker mask. They aren't that great, but for $3.99, I can't complain

The only deal that slightly seemed interesting was the Radio Shack one where they sold a new DS3 controller for 30. Alas I already have two or I would have jumped on it.

As usual, I ventured out when I was good and ready (Aka not early) and went to a mall but didn't see anything I wanted. Well there were some shoes but they weren't at the price I wanted so I'll just wait and hope they go down in price. So happy I don't work retail...I'm not sure I could keep my calm.

Well, I got my PS3 bundle at Walmart yesterday morning, but I haven't even hooked it up yet for various reasons. I went to sleep about 9:30 on Thursday, waaay too early for me, woke completely up at 2:30 AM and got to Walmart sometime slightly before or slightly after 4. I waited in line til about 2 minutes till 5 before I called my dad to stand in line for me, and I'm glad I did as he didn't get there till 20 after and by the time I got back to the clock and called the call-in number, I was 28 minutes late. But the part that really sucked was that when I went on lunch around 9:30, I found out they still had alot of PS3s left; so I went to bed and woke up early and was 30 mins. late for nothing, argghhh!!
