I actually wound up going to some stores a little after midnight on Black Friday. I hadn't planned on it, I was just up at the time and was waiting for a lightning deal on Amazon that was happening at 4 AM.
When I showed up at the local big box area there was a MASSIVE line to get into Best Buy, so instead girlfriend and I wandered into some of the other stores that had opened at midnight. Possibly the best was Petco. I think there were two employees and one other customer in the store. BB was pretty packed when we eventually got in after the line went away, and I couldn't believe the loads of shit people were buying. Also, looking at cameras was pretty hilarious. "Yes, we'll take the BF-only $100 camera with the $120 accessory pack including a 4 GB memory card, a shitty tripod, and a carrying case."
Wound up also stopping in a Target on the way home since I needed a few groceries. They were also pretty busy, but nowhere near as much as Best Buy.
All we wound up getting were two cameras off of Amazon (which showed up on Monday thanks to Prime shipping) and a $3 sleep shirt for girlfriend from Target. The main thing I was looking for this holiday season was a new video card for my PC, but it seems like there wasn't one sale on one in the $150-$250 price range.
Also, anyone know of the best place to buy a Kindle this year? Parents asked which one I wanted for Christmas the other day, and I want to make sure they at least get the best bang for their buck.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
