I'm really only out for a TV, but I've seen much better deals in weekly ads for a TV I'm looking for (46"+ and brand name). Probably hold out until the Super Bowl since TVs usually go on sale then, but if I see something before that, I'll jump on it. The Rock Band looks good as well, but I was able to pick that up at Wal-Mart about a month ago for $50.

I'll still be going out, but not until 8 or 9 to see what's left to pick up. Good luck to all who are looking for something big.

Before it was basically a free for all, but now you must stand in line to get a ticket for an item, and you can pick that item up at customer service a few different locations in the store that are more secure.

You still work for Walmart? I am assuming what you are describing is for the big ticket items (i.e. tv's, computers, etc.) It won't be the same for small items like blu-ray's, will it?

Yep sure do. They are expecting bigger crowds this year than any other year they've done this. If I understand correctly, it will be like this for the bigger items and all electronics. Bikes, power wheels, etc. will still be on skids wrapped in black plastic.

Playing Dragon Age: Origins isn't as much fun as it could be when I constantly have to stand up to see exactly how one sword or helmet is superior to another. On the other hand, the exercise I get from doing so might help balance out the number of hours I spend glued to my ass in the office and at home.....

Now, now, now, I'm not playing this game because I'm a big AD&D-style geek. I'm playing because it (and other games like it) has hot fantasy-world women that I can obscess over instead of leaving my house to hook up with real-world women.....

Wait...damn....that isn't helping my case.....

The store I work at is full of the same assholes that inhibit Walmart... I went to Walmart two black Fridays ago and it was insane. I literally thought I was going to see some fists fly back in the electronics department.

By the way, wasn't it our Best Buy that had the punch thrown in the lobby that made that "Black Friday" tv special?

I've done the black friday thing a few times (when I'm not working it haha) and for whatever reason WalMart's line always has the assholes. BBY's is much more organized and friendly (Friendlier anyway lol)

Tell me about it!

I usually break out the hockey equipment if I'm going to be out that day. Nothing says "Merry Christmas" quite like strapping on the elbow pads and, depending on where you're going, puttin' on the foil.
