Do I have any chance of getting these if I get there at 8:30?

8:30AM most likely but not 8:30PM. Stores open at 8PM-9PM on thanksgiving night, don't they? In years past when stores used to open at 5am in the morning, I remember people already lining up a good 12-24 hours early.

nvm

I went to Toys R Us last year at opening.

OMG HOLY COW THAT IS A BIG LINE!

The cop told me they counted 2000 people.
I was 2001 people.
I left.

Glad to see Journey won Amazon's game of the year. Hoping for a good black friday deal on the CE version somewhere.

Well I'm ready for it to be packed, I'm just wondering how popular those items are going to be compared to the WiiU/PS3 Bundle/360 bundles/games/etc are going to be, or do people just impulse buy almost everything they see, in the midst of the madness?

I have a question. Can I purchase two different games in same lightning deal if I am lucky? Or only choose one out of five deal ? For example, nba, madden, FIFA section, I only can choose one?

well after waiting 15 minutes in the layaway section and not having a single associate bother to assist me, I'm pretty much not a fan of using it for BF. Guess I'll try again tomorrow after work, but it was a really dissatisfying experience.

what is the xbox 360 white skylanders edition selling at walmart for 149? is it a white xbox?

Ok I don't understand.. at Wal-Mart why is everyone going to layaway on black Friday at 9am, when the deals are Thursday at 8pm and layaway is open until 9pm. Videogame deals at Wal-Mart start Thursday not Friday. Layaway is open til 9pm on Thursday.

I believe it is a white 4gb system with the Skylanders starter pack bundled with it.

Thanks preedatore! I didn't know about that.

I know there has been lukewarm attention given to the PS3 bundle here, and pretty much every major retailer is selling it on BF (Radio Shack for $225 - not sure what they were thinking). But its really going to depend on stock. We haven't heard how many systems Sony shipped, and no reports (yet) from employees seeing them show up in stores. Some things that make me think supply would be good are TRU offering it as their Thurs-Sat deal, not a "doorbuster", the fact that most retailers are offering it, and there doesn't seem to be much buzz about the deal. Its not (from what I can see) listed on Wal-Mart's store maps either (while the Xbox is #1 on my local maps). That said, Amazon has it as a Lightning Deal which does make it seem like they may not have a huge supply of systems. And its impossible to judge how the masses sitting around Thanksgiving dinner will react to this deal. My magic 8 ball says "chances are good" that you won't have to be at the store when the sale starts to pick one up, but with most stores opening at 8pm, I suspect that many will be out before the sun comes up. I'd wager Amazon, TRU (because of the free controller) will be sold out fast, and Wal-Mart will probably be sold out by the next morning (unless they get hundreds in each store...who knows)? Feels like a coin toss to me, certainly could go either way. If you're really worried, I know TRU has theirs up for pre-order right now (but shipping is $14 and there is no mention about the free controller like their BF ad shows). Personally I'll be trying Amazon, with a trip to Wally-world as my backup plan. Even with the free controller, its not enough for me to brave TRU at a BF opening (especially this year, as they have some pretty good pricing on other things as well). Wal-Mart gets crowded, but their stores are large and stuff is spread out. TRU is total bottleneck, and their checkout is a disaster on BF.

Thanks for the help. Once I find out when GS is opening I may go pick it up there or brave WM so I can have a story to tell.

Originally Posted by ShockandAww Dont listen to anything I'm about to say, but from years past no they will not be hard to get and you should be able to go fairly early and just pick one up without any issues. I think pretty much everywhere is having that PS3 bundle and it's not like it's the hot Christmas toy or anything. Maybe call ahead and ask how many they're getting if they can tell you?

Thanks for the help!

So in your guy's opinion, do you think the Bestbuy $35 deal for Assassin's Creed 3 (PS3) is the best price we're going to get this BF?

edit...nevermind

Are you serious??

That's last year's ad bro. The list thats in the thread is real.
