Don't think so. As far as I know they don't have anything I want/can afford.

[[JiF]rIot]

[[JiF]rIot]

I'm planning on getting the TomTom they got for the early bird (and by early bird, I mean me a Beezer are gunna be starting to wait in line at 9pm tomorrow night) Maybe I'll be 30th in line this time!

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

[[JiF]rIot]

It's alright, we'll browse the DVD section of the ad in your memory...

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

Hmmmm... I was just looking at the secret ad release and there is a low end laptop with printer for $229. Just so happens my daughter needs a laptop.

[[JiF]rIot]

I can hear Best Buy calling your name....Grimp!.....Grimp!

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

Damn and the Orange Box is only $24.

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

Now I am torn! Best Buy has the laptop for $229, but JC Penny has a 1/2 Zip Brushed Fleece Pullover for like $7.99.
What to do...

lol, I hope Tissuema'am doesn't wrap his sandwiches in tinfoil, I don't think he'd get any work done!

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

Well we did it. Went to Best Buy in hopes of getting the laptop/printer combo for my daughter for $229.
I rolled over there at 9PM last night already exhausted from a day of feasting
rIot, Beezer, Mr Tibbits and his girl friend were already there. The had gotten there at 6:00 6:30.
I hung with them and after a while I felt comfortable that I had jumped the line a bit You can get away with this sometimes early, but after a certain time you could be killed!
My oldest daughter came down about an hour later to wait with us.
We were probably already 40 - 50 back in line so like last year I was thinking no way I was getting the deal and should just go home.
I was freezing the whole night, but hung in there.
Nothing like cold turkey sandwiches and peeing behind trees at Best Buy around 3 AM
Its about 3AM when the crowd starts to get panicky and a little scary. You don't wander out of line after 3.
Around 4 AM they started handing out tickets for the major deals.
Fortunately there was more than the store minimum and we got the ticket for the laptop. Its a wimpy laptop, but for the price its great.
We also picked up 2 GIG memory upgrade for it for only $54.
Other things we picked up were a few DVD deals, couple DVD burners and Bluetooth headset.
Never would have probably been able to get her a laptop without this deal so it seemed worth it.
I think the others got everything they wanted too, but after we got in the store we lost track of each.
Beezer really helped out by running around grabbing a few things for me!
I have now gone to this thing (that I swore I would never do) two years in a row.
Its an experience
Went to sleep around 8AM and woke back up at noon. I am still wiped out.
Thanks to the guys for making misery fun again
I hope I don't do this again next year.

lol, it got rough towards the end. Once the numbness sets in your paralyzed. It was so bad that Beezer and I really had to think about grabbing a Dorito out of the bag because the bag was outside of the blankets...and it was FREEZING! Twas not Mr. Tibbits that was with us but CaptainCrunch (I believe he goes by). He definitely helped me out w/ getting those TomTom's. We actually used the TomTom to go back to Best Buy just so we could use it (my father was awe-struck, for he has not witnessed technology at it's greatest yet). All in all it was an extremely fun/miserable experience. Although we were in line about 5 hours longer then last year, it went by rather quickly AND it didn't rain. I got home at 5:55am due to Beezer's motivation to keep on moving to the checkout line before it got too long. I went to bed at 6:30am and woke at 9:15am for and eye exam...by the glassy hue in my eyes, I'm assuming the eye doctor thought I had done some creative narcotics...what a night/morning!
