I'm going for a 32" LCD TV, that's about it

11/24/2011 11:11:45 AM

^The Sears doorbuster one, mayhap?

11/24/2011 11:18:35 AM

I don't know what I'm getting yet, I already have a big TV... my whole entertainment center is taken care of.

Maybe I'll get some new furniture

yeah...

wait, fuck, I'm a broke grad student without savings!

nevermind, carry on!

11/24/2011 11:21:55 AM

There's a desk for like 80% off at Michael's that I want but not sure I'm want to fight crazy cat ladies for it. There's also something on clearance I want at Williams-Sonoma but I might just order it online rather than deal with the mall.

is there a better deal than this one?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889234046

11/24/2011 11:41:52 AM

LG 32" with same stats but a far better brand (Westinghouse is definitely not very high up on my list) and for $199 at Sear's doorbuster. But, again, you'd have to go to the 4AM doorbuster, which to me is one big "fuck that".

11/24/2011 11:53:40 AM

Sharp 42" 199 at Best Buy I think.

11/24/2011 11:55:26 AM

yeah I don't want to have to go anywhere or talk to anybody

its pretty much worth the extra $50 not to

11/24/2011 11:58:30 AM

the only thing I would do is best buy for the asus transformer... but I aint doin that

11/24/2011 12:02:15 PM

^^^ are you in line?

11/24/2011 1:51:32 PM

Yeah I'm buying gas and a shit load of booze

I'm Krallum and I approved this message

11/24/2011 2:36:48 PM

Turtle...

beach...


must. have.

11/24/2011 2:38:08 PM

Borderlands GOTY for 20 at GameStop.

11/24/2011 3:23:14 PM

Might swing by wal-mart tonight and see if I can get a $200 TV, if not I'll try to pick up Battlefield 3 and/or Arkham City for $30

But I'm not buying any christmas presents tomorrow, no

11/24/2011 3:25:02 PM

^^That shit was FOUR DOLLARS for GotY on Steam not that long ago.


Anyone know if someone's doing video game discounts on Skyrim or Skyward Sword? I know a lot of places are doing almost 20 dollars off newer releases, but often the largest and most recent releases slip by without discounts.

11/24/2011 3:58:55 PM

Meh, but it's the cheapest I can find it for PS3. And I wouldn't buy Skyrim until people confirmed the patch is working and resolved issues.

Of course Bethesda doesn't give two fucks about PS3 owners.

11/24/2011 4:00:54 PM

uh, NO

Someone shared on FB:

11/24/2011 4:32:45 PM

might get a vacuum at walmart

11/24/2011 4:39:21 PM

Nope, paying full price > dealing with crowds. Or waiting until it is on sale later with no crowds or buying online. I don't have the patience to deal with lines/crowds.

11/24/2011 6:32:38 PM

^

11/24/2011 6:55:07 PM

I've seen lots of 32" for 200

11/24/2011 6:57:52 PM

I'm kind of tempted to go buy sheets tomorrow. Everyone is having good sales on them it seems and we need some like whoa.

11/24/2011 8:01:40 PM

I wonder if I would have any chance of getting one of those blue Wiis at walmart if I went now

11/24/2011 8:10:40 PM

let's just get this over with! i am so sick of hearing about black friday doorbusters bullshit. they act like it's the only day of the year you're allowed to shop

11/24/2011 10:24:58 PM

Just nabbed Batman: Arkham City for 28 bucks. Waited on it for about an hour and there were tons of people crammed around the 360 display box, but I reached right through there, unintentionally groped a few people, then nabbed a copy of the game I wanted. Then grabbed a couple of $2 movies and hit the door.

I didn't even have to wait in line to pay, because everyone else was snatching up about 20 cheap movies or going to the other sections before they got in line.

[Edited on November 24, 2011 at 10:27 PM. Reason : And that's all the black "friday" shopping I'm going to do.]

11/24/2011 10:26:27 PM

I'm going get some $19 jeans at GAP at 3am

11/24/2011 10:31:55 PM

hurry someone pick me out a pair of sneakers and tell me where to buy them

READY AND GO

11/24/2011 10:36:43 PM

11/24/2011 10:49:42 PM

i dont understand buying a bunch of cheap movies. i could understand buying classics or your favorite movie but why not just get a netflix account if you are going to buy movies just because they are 2 dollars?

11/24/2011 10:55:13 PM

imma go to half-price books

11/24/2011 11:06:13 PM

^^Can't give people a netflix movie for Christmas? But yeah, Black Friday is more about buying things for yourself than actual Christmas shopping.

Also, since the subject is Black Friday... can't wait for the inevitable news stories "stock plunge as shopping on Black Friday was only up 2% over last year instead of the projected 3%" or worse yet sales are down.

Couldn't sleep last night so ventured out in search of bedsheets and towels we've been desperately needing. First went to Walmart which was a complete waste of time. The sheets they had on special were absolute garbage and the cesspool of humanity was more than I could bare. Left and went to Kohls which was much calmer. Apparently nobody buys bedsheets or towels on Black Friday so got my pick. Also scored one of the comforter doorbusters and a sweater for 75% off. All in all got almost $400 worth of stuff for about $120. I can see why people get off on Black Friday shopping.

Then again, I saw people buying the DUMBEST SHIT just because it was on sale. I watched one redneck lady fill her basket which a shitload of 50% off toys while her husband kept telling her their kids didn't want the crap. She would retort,"But it's so cheap!" First off, 50% is a normal, every day sale at Kohls. Secondly, people like you are the reason Hoarders exists.

We went by the Walmart on our way back into town and saw the parking lot was about half fullof obvious Black Friday shoppers...at 7pm. Decided to stay home

Might try this morning again, or just say fuck it and spend the extra $20 and get it online

11/25/2011 7:26:40 AM

I'm happy to say that I haven't stepped into a wal-mart in 6+ years.

11/25/2011 7:51:50 AM

I went to GAP this morning and passed by a bunch of people sitting on the floor waiting for Sephora to open....blew my mind.

Waiting hours to save 10% on cheap makeup makes no sense to me.

11/25/2011 9:26:18 AM

hell no, i am sitting my ass on the couch and not moving. except to take a shower. maybe.

11/25/2011 12:49:32 PM

Want to venture out but I might wait until later and hit up Loft at Cary Towne Center or Marshall's.

11/25/2011 1:45:12 PM

Went to walmart at 9 and got in line for tvs and laptop. it got so crowded that they let us put stuff in our cart for the 10 sale at 9:30 and let us checkout for the midnight sale at 10:30. The line was back to the garden center at this point and waited for about 30 minutes then they opened two registers in garden and I was out at 11 with everything. Spent about 600.

11/25/2011 2:08:23 PM

I did mine online. I'm not leaving the house until game time.

11/25/2011 2:13:31 PM

I'm looking forward to cyber monday

11/25/2011 2:17:23 PM

Cyber Monday is also more my speed. I can't deal with crazy people, especially in masses.

Plus, I bought a 32" HDTV online Wednesday night for $188 with free shipping and no tax. Pretty decent deal in my opinion.

11/25/2011 2:47:42 PM

I went to Best Buy at noon:30, and the parking lot was filled.

I walked in the store, looked at a few things, then left.



I don't know why I thought I would succeed at something by going there.

11/25/2011 2:53:52 PM

I went to Gamestop and Borders today around 10am wasn't very crowded.

11/25/2011 2:54:43 PM

and the Turtle Beach headsets weren't even on sale!


EXCLAMATION POINT



However, seeing all those people buying large TVs and things of that nature really discouraged me from following in their footsteps. I choose not to fill the voids in my life with objects that provide some pseudo-happiness.

At least - until those headsets go on sale...

11/25/2011 2:59:25 PM

fffff someone sell me a blue wii

11/25/2011 3:01:16 PM

Buy a PS3 and join us on the poorly ported side.

11/25/2011 3:03:11 PM

Yeah they didn't have the headset so I had to get one of those blue wii's and the new Zelda.

Eh, whatever. I guess I'll play it a little bit and see how it is. It'll probably end up on craigslist anyways.

11/25/2011 3:08:44 PM

Hit up Petsmart for half off jerky. Not a soul in there. Then when to AC Moore to get some frames I needed for 90% off. Hardly anyone in there either. Went to Crabtree after lunch and it wasn't too bad. Was able to get a parking spot right in front of the food court. Wasn't much that piqued my interest though. Didn't look like many other people were buying either. I'm guessing the hardcore Black Friday shoppers were already long gone.

11/25/2011 3:42:10 PM

Like people who go out at 2 AM to by sheets.
