I just ordered Condemned and Amped 3 for the advertised $18.99. The Outfit was showing $9.99 but was listed as "coming soon". DVD sales were also up.

Shipping sucks, but at least I don't have to worry about picking them up in the chaos tomorrow.

[quote name='dsullo']BB has some good DVDS for 4.99 Like Doom and others. They all say dubbed subtitle

Doom - Widescreen Dubbed Subtitle AC3 - DVD

what does that mean?[/QUOTE]

It means they're dubbed in Japanese and subbed in english.

Why would best buy sell these they are listed in the circular? If they are then I guess I will return them
 
hey guys i have a question. hope somebody can help me out. i just bought the insignia cd player for my car and chose in-store pickup. does that purchase still qualify for the free installation? any help is appreciated =)
 
[quote name='schultzed']I got in on one too . . .

So tempted by the JVC hard drive camcorder, but I should wait and see what next year's models are like.[/quote]

That JVC Everio at Best Buy at $450 (the same model -- 20 gigs, 2.5 screen) is now on sale at CircuitCity.com for $380, FYI.

Not sure why Circuit City is ringing it up at $380 (the CC ad lists it at $399) but I'm not complaining. It's a good entry level HD camcorder. At that price, it can't be beat.
 
[quote name='Esperado']Wow, I just drove by, like 120+ people already in line. I might have to go back at 5 and break some faces to get my LCD Monitor :O[/quote]

120 people? Are the deals really that great that every Best Buy has a huge line outside of people willing to camp overnight? Makes shopping online all the more appealing.

It just means that they have foreign language tracks and subtitles. It means nothing. They are the normal editions.

I think the PS3 madness has conditioned people to think that it's normal to stand outside for hours for this stuff, but I really don't see anything worth that.
 
Also remember that BB and other stores held back stock on PS3's and Wii's for the Black Friday sale ... that might be why the lines are so big already.

I'm sick of fighting the crowds so I'm not going to bother going out until at least after noon. I used to head out bright and early but this shit has gotten insane, and I never end up with what I want anyway.
 
hmmm i WOULD go pick up CoD: GotY for 360...BUTTTT...im sure it will experience a price drop sometime soon which means that it'll be even cheaper USED hehehe...spoken like a true CAG ;)
 
Does anyone know if the "PS2 Value Pack" listed for $129.99 in the Best Buy ad comes with an extra controller or are they just referencing the one that normally comes with the system? I can't seem to find this value pack on bestbuy.com, so I'm debating whether it is worth it to run by the store to see if there are any left.
 
[quote name='icruise']I think the PS3 madness has conditioned people to think that it's normal to stand outside for hours for this stuff, but I really don't see anything worth that.[/quote]

I wouldn't doubt thats why some of those people are there, for a PS3. Won't they be disapointed.
 
People think it is normal now to start camping right after thanksgiving dinner. A year ago you could go at 3 AM and get whatever you wanted. The year before that, I only went an hour early and still got a computer. BLACK FRIDAY SUCKS NOW! (except online...I got so many good deals today online)
 
Well, I'll order a copy of NWN2-DVD for myself and Flight Sim X as a gift. I was originally planning on swinging by the store sometime in the afternoon to see if they had any left, but I figure I can cough up $5 shipping to ensure I get them. Probably would've ended up spending a couple bucks on gas driving in to get them anyway. :p
Thanks!
 
Well I was looking to get Gun and the Mortal Kombat game listed for $4.99 in the circular. It has mortal kombat for $4.99 online but not gun. What's the deal? So with shipping it's $6.98. Worth it?
 
Huh. I get "We did not recognize this street address, which may be due to a recent move, an address in a new development or several other reasons. Please check for accuracy and try again." when I type in my address. I've ordered from them before, but I dunno what the problem is now.

It has this under the help menu it offers, which does me no good since I don't see what they mean by "Check", and my city is what it should be for the ZIP code and address. "City Name Discrepancy
Our system defaults to the city that the United States Postal Service (USPS) has designated as the delivery zone to your area. After you enter your information, check your address. If the city shown is not exactly what you entered but your street address is correct, your package will be delivered to you."

Any ideas?
 
Holy fuck. I just went to the local BB to pick up a TV for a gift, and there was easily 200+ people in line. This was at 2AM. And it wasn't like they just all showed up - there wasn't a car that pulled up within five minutes of me getting there. I just turned around.

I remember maybe five or six years ago I showed up an hour and a half before opening and wasn't this far back, and that was in a major city. Man have times changed. Someone said it right - the PS3 ruined everything. Now expectations are people must camp out for two days to get something.

Online is the way to go for me. fucking crazy.
 
[quote name='opportunity777']I can't order The Outfit online doh :whistle2:([/QUOTE]

It's listed at $9.99 on sale and also as "Coming soon." There's still a chance.

I bet that you'll be able to order it online once the actual doorbusters begin.

I doubt it, if they listed the doorbusters online there would be no reason to ever go to the store.

It'll be disabled for good until the sale is over.

It's only listed as $9.99 because BB's computers are tied into the store's computers.

What's with the negativity? Have a little faith (in what I'll leave up to you).



Oh. . .nevermind. ;)
 
Eh, I might stay up and try to swing over on over to BB to pick up Outfit. I don't need a PS3 or a Wii, so it should be ok (I think). I also need to get a price adjustment on a CC game.
 
Think I found a fix for the people getting the same error as me. Apparently I had an old account on there still (Same email, no less) so once I got a new password I was able to do it. But I saw that it changed the text of my address to all caps. So if you do "383rd st" it would be "383RD ST".

No idea if that'll fix it for you, but that seems to be why it was choking for me.

When I went to bed at 11:30 the blue Nintendo DS for $99.99 was still showing as Coming Soon, so I went to bed.

I set my alarm for 4:30 so I'd be there by 5. I'm lucky in that I live 2 blocks from a Best Buy, so it's really the only reason I even consider going their on BF.

But I couldn't sleep, so at 2:30 I stumbled to the computer and checked and there it was, free shipping and all! So I ordered it online and I'm going back to bed. The only other things I wanted was the 2 GB SD card - got it Thurs. morning online at OfficeMax for even cheaper (thanks again CAG!) and the Lionel Train DS game.

It looks like a great price for a game I've never heard of and can't find a single review for. I'm not getting up at the crack of dawn for that! I might stumble over in the morning and grab one if they haven't sold out. I doubt the people in line overnight are there for a $10 game. (And yes, I could have gotten that online too, but I'm not paying $2 for shipping a $10 game! I'm a CAG after all!)

Happy shopping.

Why didn't you just order online and do instore pickup for the game? You're going there anyways.
 
Went there to buy (attempt) to buy a Panasonic 42", the toshiba laptop and a Westinghouse 32". There were over 50 people already in line at 3am. Holy Hell, they are more cheapass then me. Back to bed.
 
I was hoping for an HDTV, but as everyone has said, those guys are true cheapasses, I heard people started lining up by 7 PM or close to that time. I wanted to go by 12, but apparently even by then it was packed. Screw that.

It wouldn't let me do instore pickup for the Nintendo DS :(
 
gonna try getting my mum to buy some of the 360 games or maybe that 22" widescreen monitor that's on a 2-day sale for $200. Looks like that monitor is HD-compatable as well, NICE!
 
Just FYI for some of you guys, while bestbuy.com isn't currently selling CoD2 online, Amazon has it for the same price as Best Buy and it is already in stock. Check the Amazon deals thread for other really good deals. :D
 
Wow.

I knew I was screwed when my sister and I got back into town at six p.m. and did a roll through the BB parking lot, and there were already twenty or so people in line. I might have had a ghost of a chance at the one item I wanted (the Pavilion notebook) had I gotten in line that minute, but my time is too valuable for any money that would have been saved by sitting there for eleven hours with no way to use the restroom without forfeiting my spot.

So my sister dropped me at my apartment and went back home, and I made the eight minute walk over to BB at my originally planned time, with no expectation of my ghost of a chance still being alive.

Holy hell.

There were so many people snaking around the building, and enough of them facing in opposing directions, that I had to ask if I was looking at the line for Best Buy or for the JC Penney next door. They were all for Best Buy. All five hundred of them.

Maybe this is sour grapes, a bit, but WHY would people keep queueing up once the line was over a hundred damned people long? Hell, FIFTY people in line would pretty much eliminate anything that this throng is turning out for.

So goes my first attempt to do anything but sleep on Black Friday. And when I say "first attempt," I assure you I also mean "last attempt." Camping out for a laptop is the most ridiculous notion I've entertained today.

Well, at least, following "Sure, I just ate nine metric tons of turkey and side dishes, but now I should make room for PIE!"

I think you're right. It's definitely raised the bar multiple rungs from where it was a year ago. It's also why I'm officially done with console launches, forever and ever, amen. (I'm sure many of you are like "Yeah, right," but I really mean it.)

no i hear ya man.. it sucks to see mad people there who dont have lives and who cant eat nice thanksgiving dinner than to sit outside for 9 hours to get some good deals stuff. Those people have no lives and no family. just look at it this way....you had a awesome dinner like the rest of us who decided that family is more important than stupid goods. i bet you after 1 hour in that cold ass line they would def trade a laptop for tons of hot smacking gravalicous turkey which i too had. dont worry about. just do what everybody else did and shop online. its the early bird BF and you dont have to leave your home and you can get some sleep while again those people who are outside would probably kill to be in your spot.

I did all my shopping online so my BF day was done yesterday at 2pm. i just want to hit up EB to trade in the remains of my PSP library for their deal and maybe load up on some GC games for the Wii that i would like to buy soon. Man i wish i couldve stayed at my cousins..i coulda played wii sports all night long.
 
Yeah i am coming home empty handed, the CC/BB lines were so long that i would have taken me a good 30mins just to get inside for nothing. Happy black friday everyone.
 
Out of curiousity, I had my father do a drive by the CC and Best Buy on his way home from dinner at my house. He called me up right after and told me that it was a ridiculously long line at Best Buy. This was at midnight. He said CC was a little bit shorter. I couldn't believe him. We discussed the sad state of the human condition when people are willing to sink as low as acting like homeless people on Thanksgiving Day in order to save a few dollars. He said they honestly looked like homeless people camping out in the cold. Imagine, if you were to tell me that there were people who would voluntarly give up a nice evening in a nice warm home with their families and stand out in the cold, I would think you were crazy. But its true, and they are doing it in droves. Pathetic... I think a very self concious news reporter should do a piece about it.
