Has anyone called around your local stores to find out how many Playstation 3's they're getting? I've tried numerous stores here in Kokomo, Indiana and everyone is saying they don't know but are expecting around 3. If anyone's got any more information from your local stores, care to fill us in and let us know what city you're from to maybe give us some population comparisons to see where we stand?

You'd think if the store was closing, they'd lower their prices majorly to get rid of stuff...not be jerks about sales.

I'd sell them on EBay. I did it with a $10 KB toys gift card and got $8.50 for it.

Make her buy you some more or threaten a lawsuit

I heard they will release more about 4 days before Christmas. Just curious though...how much did you pay for yours?

I kinda wondered myself when reading that other post if the 20 year old really believes in Santa or if the parents just continue to write that on there to continue family tradition or keep the 7 year old believing.

WOW!!! 87-0 for Bust. I didn't buy anything but I got the highest price of my 3 eMachines I was selling on EBay for the one that ended on Monday. $465 after shipping.

Best Buy

Damn dude...that sucks. I can't believe you got frost bit, lol. I got a touch of it on my hand but apparently it goes away fairly quickly. Mine's faded out noticeably already. I didn't pay attention to Menard's though. And yeah, I agree, we're havin' heater/chairs/and other stuff next year.

Yeah...it's referred to as price matching and there were people on here that did it. If you search price matching or PM in the forums, you'll find some threads about this.

The simple fact is as I've pointed out in another thread, there is absolutely nothing wrong with buying simply to resell. Before I explain my logic, I will freely admit that I did it. My sole intention was to resell and I bought NOTHING that I am keeping/giving as a gift. I got 2 eMachines (3 now, a friend gave me his for $150 cuz he didn't wanna put up with EBay) an MP3 player and a flash drive. Now I got in line at 9:30 PM on Thanksgiving night because I knew that, for me, I was willing to wait 7 1/2 hours in order to turn a profit of 500 bucks or so. I could just as easily gotten in line at the same time because I was determined to get them and give them to family members. I could also have gotten in line at that time to show that I hate eMachines. I could've bought the computers, ran outside with them, taken a sledgehammer and smashed them to pieces in the parking lot as a form of protest. The simple fact remains, I got one, you didn't. Whether I choose to use mine as a gift, an investment, a personal computer or chop it up and flush it down the toilet, the fact remains that I was there first and wanted to buy it. Why is it wrong to buy something on sale and then put it on EBay? The computer regularly retails at $450 + tax. If it sells for $400 on EBay, I am making money for the time I spent freezing my rear off and the buyer is saving $50 off of the price he'd get if he walked into the store right now to buy it. For me, I have no sympathy for people not getting these types of doorbuster items from places that hand out tickets. If it was Wal-Mart...I'd be a little more sympathetic but Best Buy and many others were simply this, who was willing to deal with being uncomfortable and bored for a long enough amount of time. This year...it was me. Next year, perhaps everyone who missed out will learn from people like me and get in line earlier. ----------------------------------------------- That being said, if the resale value is as good next year as it was this year, I'll be in line at 6 or 7 PM so plan ahead fellow Hoosiers.

Yeah, mooning was the stupidest thing I saw but WOW...people around here must think it's the thing to do. As I've said before, my friends and I were first in line. Not 20 minutes after we got there, a van drove by and a girl's rear was sticking out the window (can't complain there I suppose). However, we were literally mooned EIGHT times by different people in the first hour. Side note: My friends and I were responsible for some of the stupid moments as we had an air-horn, megaphone and glowsticks. Just stuff to lighten the mood and it seemed to work.

That video doesn't show the full scene and the closeup of the woman while she's being "trampled" however that is the woman that laid on the ground and put her wig back on before attempting to move out of the way. I'm not trying to justify the actions of the other people but seriously...you have to have your priorities. Personally...I'd be more worried about getting off the floor than putting my fake hair back on.

I'm HOPING you let the people in the front get theirs first...if not...that's the kind of thing that will start fights.

Some of that stuff is insane...Neither I nor any friends of mine had any problems at all on BF. That could be because we're all 18-21 and over 6 ft. tall but man...some of that stuff would have me swinging. If I ever get bitten, the idiot that did it will be biting with his gums next year.

Office Depot...may they go bankrupt immediately.

I saw that same exact piece of video footage. I must say however, that I didn't feel very much sympathy for the one particular woman you are talking about for the sheer fact that she NEVER tried to get up. Her wig came off and she was laying on the ground discretely trying to put it back on. COME ON!!! Be smarter than that...could she not withstand a couple moments of embarrassment to save herself from trampling injuries? She was far more concerned with getting that wig back on her head than getting herself out of danger.

Another hint: If a deal looks spectacular to you...it looks that way to others too. Get in line EARLY

I left at 9:00 PM Thanksgiving night, got home at 8 AM

Nice job. What I'd do now is sell that one, take that money and get the laptop off of EBay that you originally wanted to buy (They'll be plenty of new ones on there after today) and then you'll have $100+ and a new laptop. Basically, you'll make money and get a laptop for free.

BF sales are FAR better than day after Christmas IMO

Capitalism my friend. If someone wanted to purchase one of everything simply to take it into the parking lot and smash it in a display of protest...oh well. If he was first, he can do whatever he wants with it. The idea is buy for little sell for more. These "Ebay squatters" were in line fair and square.

Toshiba is a lot better than the HP. Explain what it is you think makes the HP a better computer...

I spent $410 ($90 Best Buy Bucks) and am getting a $20 MIR. I plan on selling all my loot for a total of between $750-$850. I could make back 100% on my investment and that will be a HUGE success.

This, like any other polls like these will not be accurate for the most part. The more popular stores like Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Circuit City & Target will rank highest in both best and worst stores.
