It depends on the mall. My mall makes us wait outside and then rush to the store when the doors open:yuck: If you are aloud in and they will open the door from that location, that would be a great place to be. If you aren't aloud in the mall, then staying outside will be your best bet. Good luck at Target and I hope you get everything your going for:)

I got a HP/Compaq PC From BB.com and a 22" LCD from Target (in which I will be price adjusting soon enough).

I had just updated the thread for Thanksgiving. It is worth the reread as a lot of things have changed.

Thank you, I'm very glad you had liked it Kubla. Good Luck at Target, I hope you get what you are looking for:) That would be a good idea just incase of an issue. Good luck at Target and I hope the adjustment goes fine:)

If you believe I'm trying to prove another point against yours therefore it lacks logic, I'm fine with that opinion. If you also lack the time and energy I will lack the effort to make a reply as long as before. Personally, I believe you have failed to see there is a meaning to each holiday and some can not be changed, due to not only things in History, but other conflicts. Enjoy waiting in a line on Thanksgiving.

I'm yet to buy a Black Friday item I wish I wouldn't have bought.

Very well said.

Okay... oh my, I almost forgot! My kids want it to be Christmas today and I don't have any gifts to put under the tree. I don't even have my tree up! What ever shall I do to remedy this terrible situation? And moreover, tomorrow is all of their Birthdays. I can't believe it hasn't even been a year yet. And after that it is Chanukah. I'm not even Jewish! Oh well, I'm free to celebrate it on any day I choose even if it is completely abrupt to the real meaning of the celebration. The real meaning of Thanksgiving was held by the Pilgrims whom were thankful for their crops not dieing and them living. It was more so a day of church and mass then a great feast. And I'm sure not once did they miss church while having to go wait in line due to some merchant. Best Buy does not expect people to come and get a deal. Therefore, you will notice the 'We only have enough items for the first 10 merchants in line' written below every item. The real reason they even bother doing Black Friday is to get you there and hope you find something else you don't need but like while in the store. And as you said I could have Thanksgiving 'another day'... from a family of six siblings, I'd be doubtful I could even attempt to get this together.

I'd like to look at this thing you said a little bit more thoroughly... "See if the people infront of you or at the beginning of the line sell tickets.... chances are some will but some won't which means they're not there because they wanted to sell tickets" There are countless other ways to make profits even not selling tickets. Moreover, people who use forums such as Gottadeal are not dumb. We know that if we do not get there by noon Thanksgiving day we have no chance of getting anything. Why don't we? Because we have to try to get there before or soon after the people who sell/merchant ticket/items get there otherwise we don't stand a chance. And with all due respect, at my Best Buy most people there who buy or sell tickets are people who don't have any one to stay with on Thanksgiving and have nothing better to do therefore ruin another person's Thanksgiving. So really, the only reason we get there early is to get there before those sets of people do. And moreover, when we get there before them, next year they will just come sooner. It is not just one or two people, there are at least 50-60 people at my Best Buy who sell tickets or make another form of profit off of these items. You must consider if they have 10 $230 Toshibas, 15 $400 Sonys, 15 $200 Emachines, and 10 $150 Envisions, that is not even enough to feed all of them. Then what do the people who really want these items get? Nothing good. The only two options they have are to: 1.) Get there early (noon) 2.) Still get there early (5 PM) and still miss Thanksgiving earning spot #50 in line to find all your time has been wasted waiting there to get an item due to a person who is making a profit off of your distress by buying their ticket. Thus, you pay cash to miss Thanksgiving. Very logical. I do not find it just what these people are doing and it is illegal.

Let's just say it is not Christian. You are making people behind you suffer and get there more early (missing their Thanksgiving) because of you needing a quick twenty bucks. With all due respect, I believe these people need a bit better for a job. If only people who went there with wanting to buy the item for their own personal use and not resell it/the ticket, Best Buy would be much calmer and people wouldn't have to miss and/or change the date of your Thanksgiving just to go wait in line.

I made a few changes to the thread. A new section called 'Questions Regarding This Thread' and 'Days Until Black Friday' are now inside the thread.

If Compaq gives me a refund for my PC they have failed to repair, I may be trying to get the Compaq deal if it goes online.

They did that for five dollars?

Like said before some managers do say no to price adjustments for some odd reason, no one is really sure. I hope at the other store you are able to enjoy your Black Friday and get the adjustment. Good luck :)

You may wish to try a different store. Moreover, the site said yes, therefore, they need to honor the adjustment. If the site said no, you need to email them back.

Instant Savings is like Instant Mail in Rebates. All you need is the $230 up front if your lucky enough to get one. Good luck:)

Keep in mind a ticket is not a contract. They do not have to keep your item until you come by to pick it up. I remember in 2005 I left and returned at 5:45 AM to find out they sold my computer. So after a lot of fighting with a Best Buy employee they gave me a better model at the Black Friday price. So you may wish to keep that in mind. However, if you can get there when the doors open, chances are you will be okay.

You could upgrade it to 1 GB of RAM thus allowing it to move a lot faster. That upgrade will bring the cost of the computer up to $270 but speed wise, it will be much closer to the Sony and will be great for all basic things such as photo editing, using the internet, watching movies, office, and light gaming.

Last year the Best Buy ad was the same. Nothing was different at all. This year I'm guessing the same thing this yaer though we will find out in a few days regardless.

She should of told you how many if you gave her a model number. When I called up my Best Buy, the person I spoke to did. And as for computers, most likely your store will get 20-30 though it may only be 10 and the first 10 people may want it. So the best advise I can offer is call back on Wednesday and see how many they have and get there as soon as you can. Any later then 5 PM will not do in order to get that Door Buster.

My Toshiba is better then it so there is really no reason for me to go out and get it, though there are a few other things that looked pretty good. I'll try to call my store and see how many laptops they may get it. I might be going out this Black Friday at Best Buy once again (thought Target's price adjustment system had me covered lol).

If you get there at 12:00 AM, you have a very slim chance of getting it. You may wish to look at another store in which has a similar GPS at the same price that you could get in line at just a bit later.

I hate when I had to work on Black Friday, now I'm glad I can simply call off and take that as a 'personal day'. Best wishes at Target and I do hope you find everything you are wanting to get:)

My sister got a DS for her 8 year old son and he loves it. In my opinion, DS is the better way to go as they are more easy to use and they have many games made for younger age groups.
