The beginning of the end. We don't have any peace until 12/25 when it's all over.

Kaako · (11-28-2008, 06:12 PM)

The guy was laughing his ass off recording the video.

UraMallas · (11-28-2008, 06:12 PM)

That was hardly a fight. I barely heard a raised voice. I was picturing to middle aged overweight Moms overhand punching at each other. Dissappointed.

Kandrick · (11-28-2008, 06:13 PM)

Whats up with those people rushing into the store ? Is that the US black friday thing ?

I remember seeing lots of videos like that, looks like a stampede.

Archie · (11-28-2008, 06:14 PM)

Looks like MS will have healthy NPD sales in November.

dork · (11-28-2008, 06:14 PM)

One person actually got killed in a stampede at Wal Mart on Long Island this morning. Nutty indeed.

I love sitting back in my chair sipping on some hot chocolate on the morning of Black Friday to see shit like this.

Kyoufu · (11-28-2008, 06:16 PM)

It'd be funny if after all that scuffle the 360 red-rings on arrival.

Kibbles · (11-28-2008, 06:17 PM)

Were they fighting over arcade systems? Ar har har har

I looked around, looks like it was someone that worked there that died. Damn, thats crazy.

Mindlog · (11-28-2008, 06:18 PM)

Seriously, why aren't they using the voucher system yet

junker · (11-28-2008, 06:19 PM)

This is embarrassing. It's like that episode of Full House when they want to buy that stupid fort thing for Michelle's secret club.

Hcoregamer00 · (11-28-2008, 06:20 PM)

Wow, I am so glad I can't buy a 360 until I get my November paycheck in December.

JodyAnthony · (11-28-2008, 06:21 PM)

You know what I enjoy doing while all that's going on? Sleeping.

This is low class as all hell.

Ever see the movie Idiocracy? We're taking steps closer.

Classic_Gs · (11-28-2008, 06:28 PM)

I worked at Wal-Mart on Black Friday 3 years ago and we had 25 laptops behind the Sporting Goods glass counter with an associate handing them out one by one, well tryed to hand them out. We had people reaching over the counter and pushing each other, one guy ended up breaking the glass because of people reaching over him and we had a guy actually punch a lady for taking "his" laptop. Store security held him until the cops arrived, all this madness and it was only 6:10 am.

Its just too crazy at Wal-Mart on Black Friday

What was the deal that made it worth diving into a mosh pit of Walmart shoppers? Looked like a Guitar Hero bundle?

g35twinturbo · (11-28-2008, 06:30 PM)

F this thread that was hardly a scuffle.

pr0cs · (11-28-2008, 06:31 PM)

dork · (11-28-2008, 06:34 PM)

Yea this bundle. Only really worth it if you have an extra HDD, which I did. 20gb from Target when they went on sale for $20.

The local spot actually had Wiis in stock as well. Doubt that is true nationwide however.

Going by the retail musings thread, most places had Wii's in stock this week because Nintendo apparently shipped a fuckton of them. I'm sure they'll mostly all be gone by the end of today, if they aren't already.

Mareg · (11-28-2008, 06:40 PM)

You guys should switch to the off-topic. People die there.

It would be worth it if that guitar wasn't crap and breaks and malfunctions. Then no HDD and I can't comment on the Sonic game other than the fact that it's a Sonic game...so chances are it sucks too.

I thought they were going to be throwing punches in the video.

For $349 you get a 60GB Pro console, Lego Indiana Jones, Kung Fu Panda and Guitar Hero III.

edit: nevermind, I see that its an arcade on the boxes in the video, not a pro
