If you want to get one of the magnificent piece of shit laptops for $400, you'll need to get in line on Thanksgiving Day. It didn't used to be this bad, but in the past 5 years it's degraded to the point of rioting on Black Friday. If you wake up at 4 AM and think you'll cruise on in and be the first one there, you got another thing coming. Bust out the tents if you want a <I>chance</I> at the big deals. Keep in mind that most of the big deals have around 10 items per store, so 490 people that want one won't get one, and 10 will. It's seriously simply not worth it, no matter how absurdly good the deals may seem.
