How peeved are people that so many BF items are BF exclusive? Shoppers can't research the items ahead of time. Furthermore, one BF laptop from Toshiba was totally defective (forums.cnet.com/5208-6035_102-0.html?forumID=69&threadID=52744&messageID=1519788), and people had a tough time getting service till Toshiba admitted to the fault over 3 months later (pcworld.about.com/magazine/2305p042id119979.htm). Do exclusive SKUs/UPCs have any benefit for shoppers?

That is total BS on BB's part- they can't legally say that, much less do it!

Here in Minnesota, getting in line between 9 PM and midnight on Thursday is good enough to ensure you get a ticket for what you want. I showed up around 11 or midnight in 2006. I really wish I had gotten the 23" HD computer monitor by Westinghouse. My friends did and it looks great on computers and on PS3s.
