I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Still want a PS3, but don't want to fight the Walmartians.

I'll probably go for some games/blu-rays. One plus about living in the country is that the black friday stuff is never TOO insane.
"what is wrong with our society"
Yeah, look at that? It's time to force Walmart to make these deals available online!

I have a computer and the Internet. I will be more than comfortable on Black Friday.
that's my plan, I look at ads like these but the simple fact is the last few years between newegg and amazon almost all of the electronics/video game deals were matched online that people fought over in stores to get, about the only stuff that doesn't always get matched is the doorbuster stuff that is the amazing deal that is just a pull to get people there even though only 1-5 people will get them per store.

hella bullets that's true
wait, why is this at 8 PM?
Stores have started early in recent years to lesson the number of psychos that sit outside all night. Studies show that those people are easily the most volatile and confrontational.
"Black Friday" has turned into "Thanksgiving evening" it seems. Honestly, if I could be done with all my shopping by 2 am that would be pretty killer.
$10 GT5 and DSiXL finally within my price range? So super tempting. Not that I need a 3rd DS but the 3DS gots nothing going for it so why not? >.> But the last time I even passed by a Walmart on BF it was madness!! Gotta hope for some price matching online or off. Prolly oughta try an save some money up first to.

Need higher quality scans, I can't tell what some of those games are. :\ The Nintendo games on "sale" for DS are a joke.

I'm actually worried about Amazon matching deals this year. With their current financial losses and the fact that they haven't been price matching like they used to, I'm wondering if they'll bother matching the competition this year at all and instead just do their own deals.
I think they did all their PM'ing stuff with gold box deals last year too. I'm not expecting them to match much stuff either
Kmart, $169
Yeah, I know...but yeah. Kmart is it so far for 3DS XL on sale.
Stack that with truaxis deals and you can get it for less than $100. Decently hot.

Will be at Wal-mart at 6:30.
Amazon will surely price match it as a lightning deal. Along with Borderlands 2 and XCOM. Maybe WWE 13 too. Not sure about the others.

The only reason why Amazon has financial losses is because they are going nuts expanding their business and trying to destroy their competition.

I could see it matched at 35, not 25.
With tax now being charged in a number of populous states, most notably CA, they're going to have to try harder this year because they are less competitive with their no-taxiness shield removed. Plus, with Target and others matching Amazon.com for the first time ever this year, it may be a feedback loop situation.
And building distribution centers locally to make shipping faster and offer same day metro delivery. B&M is expensive.

After going last year I can truly tell you this.
There wont be anything but wii games left by 8:30 and those will be gone by 9 for sure.

Sucks. I actually love waking up early. Tradition. Also, this ruins Thanksgiving Day. Oh well. No doubt mine is the minority opinion.

BF3 Premium Edition for $25!
so it's cheaper to buy the premium edition, use the code and sell the game than to buy just the premium upgrade online...

walmart is hell on earth on black friday. i've made the mistake of going twice but that will never happen again. wonder if i should look for a good deal on black friday for re6 but maybe i'll just wait till xmas time and see if any store has a good deal on it.
I believe Best Buy's policy is that they will not price match Black Friday sales. Not sure about Target.
Posted earlier in the thread. Kmart has the 3DS XL for $169. Stack that with truaxis deals (if you have a participating Citibank credit card) and you can get the price down around $99.

i went last year and it was hectic, but fun.
I went to Walmart last year and it was fun to watch people. I did my good deed of that day by going into the mess to get an old woman a copy of Dance Central 2 for her grandkid, too.
It was easy for me because I only wanted Yakuza 4. Wanting two of the most demanded games from the sale this year is going to be rough.

it wasnt that hectic it was more long after grabbing my games and waiting in line. That was the worst part.
