Normally i would say with the bigger tv's not really a need to camp. This one might be an exception though on the count of being such a good deal and people talking about it that usually dont go for black friday things. But I would give yourself at least a couple hours head start or at least do some calls to the store or walk through see if anyone is inline. I have that tv and it is nothing short of gorgeous. The only thing if you are hauling it that far and i dont know where you live make sure you let the tv warm up to room temperature before plugging in.
