Black Friday is all about strategy. This year we have six people dispersing to various stores and we have lists and cash amounts already figured out. A large thermos of coffee is a must, and since I'll be trapped inside without access to a smoking section, I don't anticipate the other animals effectively pushing me around.

Magus, what you need is someone trustworthy to brave the crowds for you.

In this way they attract people to the store who will then generally buy some things that AREN'T on sale, as well as limiting the amount of their profits that are cut into by the sales themselves.

Putting it online means that they have to sell it to anyone who can log on between 6am and noon or whatever, with no limits on in store stock, and online shoppers are much less likely to buy more things while they are on the site. In other words making Black Friday deals open to the internet kind of ruins the entire point of Black Friday. For the retailers.
GLARGHLBLARGEFUCKLE

Apparently they were selling it online but I had to wait until 6 a.m.?! What the fuck. Do they write these unwritten rules somewhere? 12 a.m. is when Thanksgiving fucking starts, Best Buy! That's why I was up last night! Fuck you!

That or 6 a.m. rolled around and they just automatically put a "sold-out online" notice up there, in that they never actually planned on selling that shit online at all.

Guess who's not buying this PS3 bundle at Best Buy tomorrow? I will jam into the three or four tiny mall Gamestops to buy this shit, just watch me. I'll be jostling like a motherfucker, Best Buy.

I WILL BUY THIS SHIT AT WAL-MART OR TARGET IF I HAVE TO. THAT IS HOW MUCH I HATE YOU BEST BUY.

No Black Friday for me, though I have it off. It is going to be a light Christmas this year.

I guess GameStop has this same deal. Even with shipping costs, when you factor in gasoline costs and STRESS costs, I might as well order it through them. It's a win-win, I don't have to fight for stuff with old ladies, and GameStop has more money for their conspiracy to destroy the video games industry.

man who buys shit at stores anymore. Amazon will hook you up with free shipping and massively cheaper as they don't need to maintain storefronts or sales staff.

The more the retail industry thrashes against Thanksgiving the more awesome it makes Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is like, the Occupy Wall Street of holidays.

True, but they don't seem to be offering the $200 dollar PS3 bundle. Also that free shipping is always like, 15 days or something. More than willing to put up with that most of the time, though, since it does save a lot of money.

EDIT: Haha, for some reason the Black Friday bundle on Amazon is like, 600 dollars. That makes zero sense. The different parts of it separately add up to about 320 dollars or something.

Me and my uncle tryed to buy the limited adition Blue Wii from walmart.

We walked into that store, saw a huge line in the electronics section that was more or less an mass cluster of people. After about mins we gave up and went home.


My god that store was a freaken maze of people clustered at every turn. And I strangely loved navigateing through it all. X3

Our sale was orderly. Everyone had their tickets by 12:20 and then we loaded TVs onto trucks for like two hours.
