I've done it for several years...and been happy about it. I've been able to offset my purchases. I've rarely not been 1st in line; I was 2nd last year because my bud was with me. Last year we were on the property for just about 24 hours. As far as how I feel that people behind me didn't get what they need I have two things to offer. If they wanted it that bad, they would have been there before me. And, I can't think of anything Best Buy sells that a persons NEEDS other than maybe bottled water. It's all about WANTS and how much you're willing to pay for your WANT. I do think I'll post my tickets online this year (if I go) so I can have my deals wrapped up by midnight. I'd like to get some sleep this time.

Just called the RS is was going to stop at and they said no to the PM. I asked if it was local management that had made the decision and was advised that it was "from the company as a whole" Oh well, I guess I could use the case it comes with or I could fight it out with customer service after the fact.

Me too. I didn't get an answer in another thread so I emailed corporate (via public relations) and got the following back... Thanks for your inquiry. Your local RadioShack store can answer your pricing questions. I can say that it is my understanding no additional promotions are available for Black Friday sales, i.e. the advertised price is the final price unless the in-store price is lower than the advertised price. In that case, the lowest price is the one that is charged. Since I had asked about the "Corporate Price Matching Policy" this really didn't answer my question. I may try to email back for clarification but expect I won't get a reply until after the holiday.

I think some are waiting for the details on the cheaper laptop to come out next week to compare. I, for one, am looking closely at the $400 Sony as well.

Just a quick bit of advice, and I'm sure it won't be an issue, but I would make sure your receipt reflects the correct model number of the TV. I would hate to have it need warranty work in a few months and you get hassled because your trying to get the "wrong" TV fixed.

Marketing Sheets (Including Specs) for the Sony Laptops at BB. NR110ES (pdf) $399 NR120ES (pdf) $499 plus other stuff in ad. I think this is the Canon Multi-Function in the bundle. Correct me if I'm wrong. I think when the sub-$250 laptop comes out that it was draw some attention from these. I wonder if I'll have to overnight it for one of the Sony laptops?

I would imagine all companies have someone posted to cover forum chatter. One argument may be that consumers would curb spending in the weeks before BF hoping to get a better deal. WM choked last year so they are looking in their arsenal for a better solution this year. While I understand, and even respect it from an economical standpoint, WM needs to see how being so anti-consumer will cost revenue in the long run. Now, I'm not saying this is going to put them out of business, but I know they're not going to see my money there this year. Just from the last couple of years I've been out on BF, it seems there are few people (past the 1st 20 or so in line) that even know about site like this. WM & CNN just gave GD some good advertising, hopefully there will be a blurb on the national news soon.

I am fairly certain that I am fine because she pulled up my PSA or RZ history on the phone (mentioned how much I spent last year), scheduled the appointment, scheduled the pre-appointment, confirmed contact info and traded emails. She also mentioned that she was the only PSA at that store right now and was glad I called so early. Maybe I just got lucky. Thanks for you concern though.

About 5 hours south of you....I won't tell if you won't. :)

Just got the 1st spot at my nearest PSA store for BF.

My experience was not that great, but mostly my fault. You see, I told other people about it and they wanted in. I orginally made the appointment for just myself (1st slot of the day) but then added a friend on with my order. Then a relative wanted a new TV, by the time everything was said and done it was 2 or 3 cars full of stuff. This added quite a bit of time to our appointment. So, my advice, if you are shopping with someone else, make sure they schedule their own PSA or schedule the slot right after yours so y'all have plenty of time. Oh, as far as the breakfast, I won't expect much this year. Last year we were offered some store bought sugar cookies and warm Sunny Delight to wash 'em down. I politely passed on both. So, for a free service, it's great because they (at least mine did) work their tails off to pull all the product and fight the crowd for you. Lastly, if you arrive early enough, try to park (back-in) near the mobile install bay as that is the most likely location for the staging/check-out area. But, make sure you are parking in a legal spot, you wouldn't want to have to carry your loot home.

Ah, makes sense. Do you know if there is a way to reduce the amount of memory allocated for video card or would that make it unstable? I do nothing more than internet and some office apps, no gaming whatsoever.

To see a quick view of the specs, go to My Computer, on the left of the screen click System Info...that should list the processor, OS and memory specs. To physically check, turn computer completely off, removed the battery (although I never do) removed the 2 small phillips screws holding the memory cover next to the battery and removed the cover. You shuold then be able to read the label on the memory. Oh, unlug the computer from the wall too, just in case.
