Wow. That sucks. About the gift cards. You should raise a stink with customer service. Point out that they did honor it for some customers. And point out they apparently don't know how to run a website, so why should you pay for their incompetence? Can you tell that (even though I did get my $60 gift card) I am very pissed with Best Buy at the moment? Though I am very relieved I can avoid the brick and mortar store this evening thanks in large part to Amazon.Com. :)

I haven't gotten the message yet (*fingers crossed*). But since I redeemed my iTunes gift card about 15 minutes after I bought it, I'm wondering if Best Buy is stuck with my purchase. After their fiasco last night with not starting the sale for over six hours, frankly I'm looking at the $40 as payment for lost time, lol.

I already redeemed mine, too. So far, it is still showing up on iTunes as a credit.

Well at this point, Best Buy has lost over $600 in sales because I bought it on Amazon.com. If only Amazon had the printer...That has been on my NEED list (not want list) for a while, but the ones with the specs I wanted were out of my price range. Now they are in it again. Plus I have $80 in BB online store credit to spend from the fiasco Monday and a previous one a few weeks ago (Best Buy has done nothing but screw up for a month with me). I keep saying I'm going to bed, but like the rest of you, I feel like I will have wasted my entire night if I give up...lol, even though at this point, I just have the printer to buy. I am going to give Amazon a big thank you for their price matching.

If its not 5 AM EST, Im going to have to give it up. I've been up 24 hours. I went ahead and bought the Kinect and some of the games. I want the monitor and printer, but they aren't the cheapest (just excellent prices on good ones), so there's a chance that they'll still be there in 4-5 hours...

This is sad. I bought the Kinect on Amazon (get 3% back there on my Amazon card, like I get 3% at BB so same deal). But the Amazon prices on the games are $5 higher. That's $30 extra to get games now and go to sleep. Plus the HP laser printer and Samsung 27 inch monitor are price matched, but not with Prime shipping, so shipping on those two increase those prices to $40 more than BB. Is it worth the $70 for sleep.....

Thanks, Divine.

What's the link for New Egg's Kinect only? If I can get that... I might just consider skipping the games.... Though that would be painful. I really want those games.

Oh, and I can't remember the last time I was up this late. I have awakened this early for sales, but never stayed up this late....I'm getting very sleepy.

I'm wondering if BB is going to honor those $60 gift cards...

I want a shirt

I ordered the Panasonic on Monday. I'm basically here for the Kinect games that were sold out almost instantly on Monday. And the Kinect itself. I got the xBox on Monday, but the Kinect sold out very quickly and even though I had it in my cart, when I checked out, apparently I'd spent too much time shopping. No Kinect available then.

Grr. 3 AM and still no access to merchandise.

Yeah, I bought two gift cards, too. :) And I'd already bought one at the $80 price at the early access sale on Monday. $300 on iTunes... I'm set for books for a while.

Hmmm. I bought the gift card (twice) for $60. Weird. Second purchase was maybe 6-7 minutes ago.

I'm watching the Billy the Kid special, too.

...(Kinect doesn't have the sale price yet). Sadly I've already spent $250 more at Khols than planned. This seriously cuts into my BB budget.

Neither does Kinect.

On 11/21 (Monday), Best Buy will give me access to the items in their flyer that will also be online Thanksgiving Day. Once I finish shopping, if I still have time on my lunch break, I will post the items here. I'm so excited!

I'm a premier silver BB rewards zone member, so I get early online access to the Black Friday deals. I'm really hoping that $199 42" tv is in that early access. I want it for my bedroom. I'm definitely getting the $999 Samsung 55" for my living room. I never stand in line at BB because of the early access, but I might be awfully tempted to do it this year if those are not with early accesss. Last year on that day for early access, I had my alarm set on my phone to access as soon as it went live. I was expecting to be in my office and had even made arrangements with my boss so I wouldn't get in trouble. Instead, had a death in the family and ended up doing my "Black Friday" shopping on the side of I-85. Good thing too, since I ended up at a funeral on the actual Black Friday. When I got back home the next weekend, my roommate was flabbergasted by the quantity of what I'd purchased. It was a little embarrassing when I actually saw all the boxes at once. Of course last year it was all the blu ray movies, console games, iTunes gift card (did I miss that or is it not there this year?), and the PS 3 system. This year is going to make last year look like chump change. I'm in so much trouble. I just got an increase in my BB store card credit line. Interest free shopping, here I come. I just paid off last year in June. Sigh.
