I got out to the black friday frenzy!, first timer!. I got a call from a friend I hadn't heard from in awhile at 1:30 am. Said she knew i'd probably be up and if i was planning on going to best buy to get there because the line already had a few hundred people. Unfortunatly I was a few hours away. When I got there, the line was maybe 500 long, at 3:30 am. I was a bad boy and kinda cut in line with my friends. I ended up getting a Sony Vaio laptop for $600 (price on the box is $899.99). I originally came for the $379 HP, but the vaio is a better laptop anyhow. After that I headed over to the sears clusterfuck. Got out of there for $169.99, with a 263(?) peice craftsman mechanics set, it was $100 off. Then I went to walmart, picked up a 1gb SD card for 13.88 and some JVC digital camcorder for $200- ended up taking the camcorder back today though, cause it turned out it was some damn made for wal-mart thing, and I could get better, cheaper elsewhere. Also went to best buy again saturday and got 2 webcams for 24.99(normal price is 29.99 each), another 1gb sd card for $14, and Battlefield 2142 for $24. All in all, I spent a fortune, and had a good time. I kind of found the massive line, and the excitement to get into the store kinda fun, will be saving up and participating again next year, but I'll make sure I show up earlier with a good book and lotsa clothes.
