This is all disgusting imo. Welcome to America! Ruin your thanksgiving with your family to go shopping for mostly yourself with hordes of people... I may stroll in at like 9 or 10 am tomorrow and see if they have anything left in thats when I am going out anyway tomorrow.
 
Well that Amazon TV thing was fucking retarded. It counted down to 00:00, then a long pause, then it went straight to the Waitlist Full button. Hey Amazon, FUCK YOU ASSHOLES!
Going by the previous tv lightning deals today, it looks like it's basically impossible to get one.

I personally found it quite hilarious to see people scramble to try and get a huffy for their kids. They weren't even nice bikes. I don't understand why people get all worked up over sales.

Look at Mr. High-and-Mighty spending time with his family posting on an internet forum!

I agree that it's disgusting that retailers are moving the "Black Friday deals" back further and further into Thanksgiving.

I don't leave the house on Black Friday unless I have to. If there's something I want that I can't buy online I don't bother with it.

It's weird because most people don't really need or want the things they are buying, only buying because it is a good deal. It is pretty gross. Is it a strictly US thing?
 
Gamestop.com doing any online sales before midnight? I'm in the middle of nowhere with no physical stores in sight, so I'm doing all my Black Fridaying online this year.

edit - basically all I'm really looking for is some PS+ on the cheap
 
This is my first Black Friday(or thursday lol) and i'm in a long ass line. Don't know if i'll be able to get god of war saga :(

Grabbed Madden at 25 for my bro. Vita for me is really the last thing this weekend. Might take a crack at iron man and matrix blurays in the morning if Im up.

Definitely see a lot of deal hunters from other countries. Black Friday is mosly American though for obvious reasons.

Edit@gow saga ppl: its on the walmart site for 15.
 
Dude, with all the online stuff that goes live well in advance (and all the price matching) why would you even consider standing in a line for anything?
I did catch some good deals already but god of war saga never went online I think. If you could show me a site that price matched at 15 id be out of here in an instant.
 
HAHAHA Massachusetts Blue laws are trolling everyone.

I live near a Walmart, and coming home from Thanksgiving dinner at 8pm you should see all the people drive in to Walmart only to turn around and leave. None of these people know what's going on. Store doesn't open until 1am in Mass.

I look at it like this:

It's selling for $38.99 on Amazon. That is a $24 mark up for the $15 deal you are seeking.

Now, here comes the rub--is your time spent in line to get this deal worth the time you are potentially wasting, whether you get it or not?

Let's say you spend 4-5 hours of your time (that you will never get back, btw) waiting and you get it. Was it worth $6 per hour loss trade off?

For me, the answer is a resounding fuck no.
 
IT'S ALMOST TIME

Who the fuck makes a Black Friday OT and doesn't update the OP since the fucking 8th??? Someone else make a god damn new OT please.

He's out there with the unwashed masses, in the shit to buy his family marginally less expensive things. He should do live reports from the field.

Yes because I am jobless at the moment.

it kind of did (I posted earlier) but then you had to pickup locally.

I was too late :(
 
That 60'' Visio lightning deal on Amazon pissed me off. The countdown completed, the deal entry refreshed... and it was sold out with a full waitlist. Two seconds. What the hell. (Edit: Read the last couple pages, looks like I'm not the only one lol. Such crap)

Debating heading over to Walmart to see if the line for the same TV is already full.
