I just got an email from them announcing the "One-Day Apple shopping event"...with absolutely no details. Anyone know what kind of deals to expect?

I too dislike these early times. I think our BF of the past is now gone and so is our family's BF traditions with it. Every year I would look forward to BF and started a mental countdown in August.
That started to change last year when everyone, and I mean everyone, was out and about at the midnight openings. So many around us in line stated that it was their first time doing the opening times. Groups of young teenagers were everywhere just watching and rushing the doors - it seemed for the heck of it. A lot of observers who wanted to see what it was about and had no game plan and were always in the way. Last year soured it for me.
In the past, my mom, sister and I would gather around the table with pie and the ads spread everywhere and make a game plan. It was a tradition. As my younger siblings have gotten older, we no longer need the hot toys and none of us want TVs or electronics. So this year I will buy online though Amazon and a few stores. I'll probably go out still around 5am or 6am on Friday and see what's left. I'll also go out on Saturday for those that have sales.
The weird thing is that, oddly enough, I'm not really mad/sad about not fully participating this year. Because if I had to choose between Thanksgiving dinner with my family or waiting in line - I'll choose Thanksgiving every time. I don't need any blockbuster deal that badly.
I totally agree with you. I have gone every year since I was a little girl...and now am a mom to teenagers. But I refuse to give up family time on the Holiday and I don't like that so many workers are asked to give up their Holidays too. The good thing for me is that I don't really want/need any of the "hot ticket" items. Mom and I will get around early and head to the mall for a fun day, and hopefully still get some good deals. And hopefully this fad will run its course...

Amazon.com Black Friday Sale [Sale Started]
in 2012
Posted
As I am getting tired of waiting for the elusive tv deal, I heckled into this. It won't work. Amazon's price match policy states that the lower price has to be current when you semd your requet, so would have to watch/wait for deal te anyway - missed lightning deal won't work, AND that it doesn't apply to early bird or special promotion deals like Black Friday sales. Really good thought though...
