Black Friday - shopping craze

I hope all of you had a great holiday.

Did anyone else besides me brave the hours standing in line prior to store opening, cold, and/or huge crowds to get doorbuster/earlybird deals?

If so what stores did you go to and what did you get?

Well I stood in line for 8 hours at Best Buy and made out with a Sony VAIO laptop and Canon 3 in 1 printer at a great price. I felt really sorry for those other 250-300 people who didn't get a ticket to reserve their purchases

I did a little shopping online today too (Black Monday) and found a couple of good buys.

OMG Merc that is what some people did.

They had the police with paddy wagons in front of the store when it opened at 5am. People were getting ready to like riot and stuff because they only had 15 of each item on sale and in order for you to purchase it you had to have a ticket to reserve the item.

I got a ticket because I got there and was around 50 in line of about 300 people. Although people had money to buy what they wanted they were getting turned away because they did not have a ticket to purchase the item at the sale price. First come; first serve.

It was my first and probably last time doing that.

Oh a PS3 game, gotcha!

Sony VAIO laptop and Canon 3 in 1 printer for $ 499.00 Funny thing is Best Buy has the laptop on sale on-line today for $ 699.00

It is for my sister (20yo). She is not a gamer, she just wanted one, so I guess it should do for her needs.......

If she wants extras she will have to get them on her own. IDK anything about computers. IDK anything about the desktop I just brought a month ago either.

She has the anti-virus software. The Geek Squad set that up. I told her to get some anti-spyware software too. Is there otehr stuff she should get.

Ok. Thanks. I will let her know. To keep the WLAN button off.

I must be the only one who has never heard of Black Friday.
