200gb for $30 is too good to pass up]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/
After best buy I went to staples and got a 200 Gig Western Digital HD for $30 also along with a 512 flashdrive for $9.99.

A bunch of my friends got the $149 instant rebate eMachine at best buy, I was just dumb enough to freeze out there with them from 11:00 pm until 5:00 am when the store opened.... heh]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/

Laughing at the people who went to Best Buy trying to get those $150 computers and wound up wrapping around the parking lot: Priceless.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/
Some lady bought 4 using her 5 year olds and credit card.

Black Friday is such a huge rush. Normal people turn to ruthless animals and thanks to that i didn't get the laptop.

I headed over to Staples to lose out again but they only had 3 laptops to begin with........3!!!!!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/I scored a Maxtor 200gb hard drive for $30 after $40 rebate from staples....I also picked up call of duty 2 for the pc for $25...pretty good deals I think....I will never go out on black friday again though....too many rude foreigners!!"

I had planned to wake up extra early (3:30) to hit up Circuit City on some of their minor deals (the 512 flash storage cards especially) but decided to sleep until about 6:15.

Getting to the store at 7:45, it seemed everything I wanted had already sold out. I wasn't surprised, but at the same time, I wanted to make sure. I asked around to different employees, managers, etc. and to my surprise was able to get out of CC with TWO 512 SD cards, ONE 512 CF card ($9.99 each), THREE DVDs, and TWO Aiptek Pocket DV Cams ($54.99 each) after being repeatedly told by several IDIOTIC employees and a CRAP FOR BRAINS manager that everything had already "sold out"...

"Sold out" my heiny...]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/
When they opened the door at 5AM we walked in the stored in a controlled manner (a lot of cops were watching us). Once inside we ran toward the electronics department where the laptops were.

There were only 34 of those $378 HP laptops available and hundreds of some $597 eMachines laptops.

My friend and I struggled a bit, but a last each of us walked out with one HP laptop :-)

By the way, I also got one of those $98 TV/DVD combos for my kid, one $55 sewing machine and four $3 bath towels.... and yes, it paid off wasting all those hours in the line. I'm in Miami and it was a warm and cozy night, I feel for you guys in the gelid north :-(]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Made waffles for the family, took them to see Harry Potter at 10:30 a.m., took my daughter to her swim team practice.
Avoided the stores COMPLETEY>]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/
When all was said in done I *just* missed the last laptop as someone grabbed a handful before running off. I actually managed to touch the laptop box, but that was about as close as I got. Sad since many people had 3-4 of them in their carts. But I consider myself lucky since virtually NONE of the people who were first in line even got a shot at one.

In the end, I scored a Polaroid 15" LCD TV for $178 and a JVC digital camcorder for $248. So not a total loss.

Went there yesterday during the day (yes, they are open on Thanksgiving), bought a Game Boy Advance at the Wal-Mart price of $48.88 and waited through a line of ZERO people and left.

Slept until 11:00 today, got some much needed sleep after my mad shopping rush yesterday of 5 minutes.

I just feel for you all that don't have a local Meijer store. I have been on black Friday shopping trips before, and it's a nightmare. It's SO nice to just get the newspaper, find what I want in all the ads, and take it into Meijer and price match it. I could even do it today if I wanted to.

They even had the 26" Olevias for $499 AR just like Circuit City all day yesterday and today. There were a ton in stock yesterday at 6:00 pm or so.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/
So, I chose to sleep in this year. I didn't see anything worth getting up early for anyways.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/

Left there at 4:45 before they opened the doors because they went from the front of the line & issued vouchers for all the doorbuster items (1 item per shopper).

Went to Target next door & was 3rd in line for their 6AM opening. Bought a 20" TV for my Daughter's room, and a millinnium falcon lego set, plus verious other stuff my wife threw in the cart.

Went back to Circuit City & each of us got a 20" poloroid HDTV for $188.00, one to replace my Son's TV & Monitor..... and the other for me!! :)

When I got home I found that Apple's online store had .mac on sale for $69, so I renewed my account.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/best-black-friday-bargains/
