staples has the microsoft wireless laser desktop 6000 for $39, and it just so happens i am in desperate need of a new kb/m

luckily i live within walking distance of a staples, but 6 am for a kb/m is pretty stupid

I fought through the hoards last year and realized that it wasn't really worth it.  :-\

meh, there are better deals listed on smaller internet sites (via slickdeals) everyday compared to the shitties that brick and mortar offer for doorbusters. especially not worth it if you hate people like I do

I'll pass... not much good gaming deals. I mean there's some cheap games if you want to throw money around, but the holiday lineup has all that covered enough to not bother with lesser titles.

Bestbuy has FarCry2 for like 37 bucks. I might get that.

yeah, unless you're really in the market for a tv or a laptop there isn't a whole lot going on this year

i just really need a kb/m, and a $60 discount is a pretty good deal

hopefully people won't be lined up as deep at staples as they are elsewhere

I'm gonna go to gamestop and get a WoW battlechest for $19.99 since I have store credit there and I won't have to wake up at 6AM to get it.  Otherwise, I agree with kestastrophe, there are better deals on the internet every day.

I worked two Black Fridays during my stint in retail hell.  I refuse to buy anything on that day.  To get them means you have to wait in line outside in cold, brutal weather, and then you have to practically run to the area and make sure you get it.  Then you have to wait a half hour in line to leave.

I live in a small town, next to a town that has a Gamestop, Wal Mart, Staples and thats about it. So I won't be in any huge rushs :D

I'm gonna shop at a few stores, but all in all I'm waiting to find out what Fry's is gonna have a sale on. If they got a 550 series or better samsung for under 1k I'm gonna tent myself outside. There are a few deals here and there but most of the deals are a huge "MEH" I might stop off at gamecrazy and pick up Assassins Creed and a few other games that they are gonna have on BF.

As someone who has worked retail on BF its godawful. And I'll never do it again, last year with sears was horrible.

I might try Staples to pick up an external hard drive after the enclosure I bought from there melted my new one.

I'm purposely NOT calling Borders to tell them I'm coming back for the holidays until after Black Friday.

The Wii and Wii Fit are ready to be eBayed off immediately after Black Friday, when soccer moms are freaking out. Hopefully the plan will work...

i live within a 1/2 mile radius of Target, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Circuit City, Radio Shack, Staples, Office Max, Moviestop, and three different Gamestops.  Other than going to the Staples, which I can walk to and back in about ten minutes, I am not leaving the house.  Most likely I wouldn't be able to until noon or so, anyway.

I won't be participating unless I work.

And that's probably unlikely.

I am doing the same thing, except I dont have Wii fit. I hope to get about $300 for everything that I have (two controllers and nunchuks, Nyko charge station, World of Goo and SMB3, Smash Bros.)

Post by: Don Flamenco on November 22, 2008, 05:12:48 PM
I've been seeing Wiis everywhere lately.  after tax + shipping, I'd be surprised if they were worth reselling. adding Wii Fit seems like the best bet though.
Title: Re: Black Friday 2008, Who's Stupid?
Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on November 22, 2008, 05:34:33 PM
They will probably be all cleared out by the end of next week though.

Circuit City - Sims 2 Deluxe - $5 (I remember this being a pretty entertaining toy)
Circuit City - Wired Xplorer Guitar for 360 - $10 (not a bad deal, and it'd be kinda nice to have a 2nd guitar around)
Circuit City - Mad Men Season 1 - $12.99 (This show is good, right?)

Wal-Mart - Magnavox BluRay Player - $128 (this would be a gift, but I'm really not sure if it's worth the 4AM wakeup)

Gamestop has a "Buy 2 Get 1" sale like every month it seems like.....I don't see why you would wake up for this one in particular.  Half the stuff in their ad is advertised at MSRP, they're not even "deals".  $60 for Too Human!  Holy shit, set the alarm clock!

sure:

1. the game lets you choose between various solutions to a crisis -- the intro advises you to 'pray for answer,' engrishly
2. it's a standalone expansion to armored core 4, and there's an engrish 4/for pun in there
3. engrish
