i was taking my brother home tonite and for kicks we drove by Best Buy and Circuit City in Chula Vista/National City. YIPES -- Best Buy easily had 150+ people waiting in line, and it was wrapped around the building. Circuit City didn't fare much better, and at 12am the line was already extending to the front of Longs Drugs.
personally, i haven't seen a thing worth waking up at 5am for, let alone standing in line at 10pm! this year's deals, especially video game deals, seem decidedly vanilla compared to years past. i have a friend who works at CC who's gonna try to snag a Call of Juarez and Fable for me, but that's it. other than that, i've had my eye on the Halo 3 Legendary Edition from Amazon for $80, mainly since i haven't bought it yet and the extra crap in the box is almost pushing me over the edge. i wish some place just had the regular edition for $40 or something.
anyway, good luck to everyone willing to brave the madness. or Sparta.
