Thanks for the input! I was thinking 3 am, but I'm willing to go a bit earlier (just not 9pm, Thurs). I'll try to take advantage of all the deals I can, but if they say no, then I'll go with the gift card coupon. I'd still have a week or so to spend the bbb and with all my neices and nephews being teens now, I already do most of my Christmas shopping in BB. :)
I hear you about the Toshiba quality. I bought a 27" Toshiba 15 years ago when I worked at Incredible Universe and I have never had any problems with it. Still looks new! Our Zenith is another story and is the TV we're HOPING to replace. I'm just worried about that on-hand quantity. Hopefully we'll get one, and if we don't, well, hopefully there will be some other decent deals between now and the SuperBowl. :)
