Yup same here with multiple orders. I placed 7 orders and the credit card called wondering what the heck was going on. I told them to blame Best Buy for only allowing 1 of each per order, lol. Could have done it in less orders but as soon as I had a few items I checked out rather than have them tell me they ran out. Now let's just hope I find out before BF if anything was cancelled.

THANK YOU SSSSOOOOOOO MUCH. With your help and the links I was able to get the items, otherwise I would have been S.O.L. Just wondering if they can't fulfill the orders how long before you get the email? I still plan to be first on line at Best Buy, HOWEVER, unless any of the items are cancelled I got everything I intended to get at Best Buy already. I can get 2 of the $99 tvs for my sister and choose a laptop I want and the other mystery deals they officially post on Wednesday night, but I got a heads up on a few items that will make it worthwhile to get there early, besides, it's tradition that I start the line at Best Buy every year, lol.

What front page? The main page for Best Buy, the sale? Not sure which page. Had to find the tablet through the regular prices since the sale link is broken.

Can't get the tablet. Still not allowing it to be added to the cart.

Got in, re-entered my password, then went back to the blizzard message.

This is a Best Buy test... it is only a test... had we had the items in stock you could have actually ordered them... BUT THE JOKES ON YOU!!! SUCKERS!!! That's the next message I expect to see after the 'blizzard" is cleared up... Funny how they were prepared with cute graphics but not able to keep the site up!

Expecting snow but got a blizzard message is cute... BUT COME ON ALREADY!!!

With most of the lists out, just wondering what peoples plans are this year. Normally I would go to Walmart and Sears after Best Buy, but with them opening so much earlier I don't think I'll even bother with those stores this year. It's a shame that the stores are all trying to open earlier and earlier, and in fact I know quite a few people the usually go to those stores that are not going because they feel that they are opening too early and either refuse to shop there or they are planning to be on line for another opening that will keep them from being at those stores. I have been, and will be first on line at Best Buy again this year. Best Buy opens at midnight, so by the time I get out of Best Buy, Walmart and Sears will have sold most of their good items so what's the point of wasting the time to even look in those stores? The stores opening earlier thought they would get more business, not only will they not be getting mine, but many others refuse to go to those stores for that reason. I took a poll on Facebook of what time most people get home Thanksgiving, and most get home around 9pm. For those stores opening at 8, they aren't going to bother because they won't be there in time, and when they get home they need a little break before going out shopping. The earliest most said they will go is 11pm or midnight. Bad move Walmart, Sears, KMart, and ToysRUs. I hope it comes back to bite you in the rear!

lol, i was on line last year and scored a few of the deals. Where's the fun of not being in the line???

Yup always protecting themselves, but it gives them the OPTION rather than be required to offer them or not to offer them. In past years many of the doorbusters will be available online, IF you are lucky enough to grab them.

Just got back from talking with director of mall security and a manager at Best Buy. You should all be aware of any new rules and it is recommended that you do your recon work as soon as possible to avoid any problems.

I agree. As a veteran of about 19 years of doing Black Friday, it has changed A LOT, and I don't like it. Yes I am an addict and I will still be camping out a few days early, but it's not so much for the deals any more as it is for the tradition and trying to retain my "crown" as the current 3 time first on line at Best for 2009, 2010, 2011, as well as 2007 and 2006. ok so 2005 and 2008 someone beat me, lol. Fact is my biggest concern is making sure I'm first at all cost even though many of the items I'm getting can either be bough early online since they are not doorbusters or in other stores for the same price or close, althoug some of the items include a BB gift certificate, another new thing BB is doing this year. At least MOST places did away with the rebates... I hated having to mail in 30 rebates every year for Circuit City, Staples, and many of the other retailers. I think Staples is one of the only ones left that has rebates, and I haven't bothered shopping there for the past few years since I can get other items similar without the hassle of laying the money out to get it back 6 weeks later.

All I can say to that is THANK YOU GOTTADEAL.COM FOR POSTING THE ADS EARLY ENOUGH THAT WE CAN MAKE OUR CHOICES BEFORE THE OFFICIAL ADS COME OUT IN THE PAPER ON THANKSGIVING DAY!!!!!

The stores are realizing people will line up regardless of how good the deals are at this point. They used to go all out for Black Friday and place all the best sales on that 1 day. Now they spread the deals out every weekend with early openings, etc. The deals get worse, the start times earlier, and they don't put all their best deals in a day sale.

Well I'll probably be first on line for about 4 or 5 stores due to the different time openings. Priority #1 is first for Best Buy, so anything before that is out. After that I can do Lowe's, Harbor Freight and others and possibly hit a few others. In between I may make a stop at other stores that are open. I will have my list with me of what opens when, etc. Might be an idea for an official thread with a list of all start times that is updated as new ads come out.

Premier Silver member through Feb 2013 Just checked, I'm good to go, although I may already be on line at that point. Maybe I can get SOME items taken care of early, less things to run around the store getting on BF.

If you check the Comparison charts, the same tablet in a few other stores for the same price, just without the $30 Best Buy gift card, so actually a little more but same "price", minus the gift card.

Some items are clearly marked "In Store Only", those will not be online. Other than that, many of them will be online but will sell out quickly.

No word on them yet but usually late Wednesday night they will post a few items on their website. They have done it every year for the past 3 or 4 years. Sometimes they are good deals, other times they aren't that great. In many cases, if you wait for those ads though you will not get them any way since those on the line WILL know about them and grab them.

Many also complained that their orders were cancelled last year by Best Buy.

I have a few things I'm interested in at Best Buy, but even though some I can get without the lines, what's the fun in that?? lol. I intend to get to Best Buy nice and early and be first again more out of tradition and the spirit of competition than any deals I may get.

Gameplan : Next week, visit the mall where Best Buy is located. Speak to director of security for any new rules this year and find out what the plan is and if they are changing the location of the line again. Message my contacts at the local paper to cover the story as they usually do. Check equipment. Get chairs ready. Buy more propane for my heater. Load everything in the garage for easy loading into the car when I'm ready to go. Stand on line for a few days at Best Buy, then hit Lowes when they open, but in the mean time hit a few other stores nearby.

For the webcast next year the call in # like last year was great. I would love to see that return. The webcasts are GREAT but hearing some of the others (as long as they are checked out ahead of time so we don't have the idiots like last year cursing into the webcast). Possibly show your camping gear on the webcast. Also the webcasts from the Best Buy line are the BEST!!!!!

See you tonight :-)
