Black Friday - Will - 2009-11-26
Hey guys,
I plan on heading down to Best Buy for thee black friday stuff and I was wondering when would be the best time to start waiting outside of the store?
I'm mainly planning to get a PS3 if that makes any difference. Thanks

Well I know this may be different, but I went there today to pick up a flash drive and there were already the following:
- Two tents with about 5 people in each.
- Two groups of 4-6 people.
- One group with a table playing cards to I guess pass the time.
I'm guessing you're going for the PS3 + Ratchet and Clank + LittleBigPlanet deal? Go right after you eat your thanksgiving deal. I'm not even joking. I went last year but only managed to get a game.

Oh god.
Does the store matter?
And yes I am getting that bundle.
I love Ratchet and Clank.

I'm going to camp outside a Best Buy right now with a couple of friends (4 or more).
Good luck with your shopping!

No, but just saying. The biggest stores on black friday are electronic stores.
Cause soccer moms and nerds orgasm over deals on electronics.
If I had the money I would go get that deal too, just because Ratchet and Clank is the only

To think you guys camp outside stores and find it normal...
People here barely buy that kind of stuff... i guess consumism isn't as deeply rooted as it is over there...

I'll scare you even more.
My friend went to Wal-mart the year Xbox 360 came out for a possible black friday deal. It just came out 3 days before Thanksgiving too..
So he was standing in about 25th in line. Two guys in the front of line start fighting over the place, one guy whips out a gun and shoots the guy in the leg.
Just be careful, I've seen kids get trampled over black friday lol... s'hits srs bsns.
These are pretty rare situations though, so just go and get your PS3. But be warned, there's only I think 10 of them per store, so you might wanna ask your parents if they can bring you your turkey dinner while you go and wait in line right now.

Don't get trampled to death.
It happens to someone every year.

I just got back from my Best Buy......
Some people start camping out like 2 days before Black Friday. There were a few tents that were already outside the store when I walked in. Gotta love how hardcore those people are to sacrifice their Thanksgiving so they can save a few hundred bucks. =\
