Rob9874

It airs this year on December 9th on CBS.

I run a Christmas radio station on live365.com (I earn no money for this, in fact I pay a hefty monthly fee to run it. I do it for my love of Christmas music). You can find it at http://www.live365.com/stations/rob9874 . It's mainly oldies/classics, with some modern songs mixed in. It's free, but limited to 100 listeners at a time (that's all I can afford. More listeners = more money out of my pocket). They also have an iPhone/Android app where you can listen on the go.

No big loss. That's actually high. Get your HDMI cables at Monoprice for cheaper. Cnet recently published an article on why you should buy HDMI cables as cheap as possible. No differences in quality.

KEZ 99.9 starts before that

If that's true, why are any of us getting up to go shopping?

Got one too. Added a red muscle shirt for $2.99 for filler, for the free shipping. Look in clearance, under the link "$9.99 and under".

But when Amazon's everyday prices on blu-rays are 30% -50% off MSRP (and deepdiscount's sale even cheaper), it'll be a long while before CC is cheap enough to buy from.

And how much is the savings? That's a long time to wait in line to save a few hundred bucks.

I agree. Whereas I only have 1080i on my 51", I've switched back and forth from 720p to 1080i, and cannot tell a difference. I keep it on 1080i, for peace of mind, but I can't tell with my eyes. And I have young, discerning eyes, and I spent hours adjusting my picture to optimize it. I'm sure even with the best source, the difference is so minimal, it's not worth the time or money spent worrying about it.

That's just crazy!! I can see if it was a chance to win a new car or something. But to save $300 on an item? Even $500. If someone asked if I would rather get $500 for wasting Thanksgiving and sitting outside from noon till 5am the next morning, or not get $500, but get to enjoy Thanksgiving, watch football and Christmas movies till late, and get a good night's rest, I would do the latter.

A co-worker of mine swears up and down that last year, Best Buy has a 50" plasma TV for $599 or $579. He's camping out at BB this year, hoping to find a similar deal. I didn't think 50" plasmas would sell for <$600 this year, let alone last year. The only thing I could find on last year's BF was a 50" plasma for $1699 (which was $1300 off!). Anyone know of one for $599?

I always saw it from the other perspective. I would be 50th or 100th in line, and hear people around me saying how they're here for the $200 laptop, or similar doorbusters. I would laugh at them, as I knew the 5 to 10 people who camped out the night before, and were the first in line, were the only ones getting the SUPER good deals. These people thought they could show up at 4am, not have to freeze their butts off all night, and still be eligible for the $200 laptop. Bait and switch does not apply to Black Friday. They don't give rainchecks to any and everyone who came for that deal. I guess this isn't advertised anywhere, but a lesson learned from doing Black Friday every year.

I like Costco's selection better. Costco's merchandise is generally considered to be pretty good quality (Kirkland brand, etc.) Whereas Sam's Club is just a big Wal-Mart. Just my humble opinion, I'm sure I'll make some Sam's members angry.

Where from? My wife is from Uniontown.

Updated!

Any mention of the Nikon 4MP Coolpix 4600 camera?

We've also had problems returning things to Target. I have something that needs to go back now, and I'm dreading it. They're not as customer friendly with returns as Wal-Mart is (but I'm willing to risk a return problem than shop at a Wal-Mart....blech!)

Got in line at 1:00am to get the HP all-in-one for $99. We were 66th in line when we arrived at 1:00. When they let us in at 5:00, I made a mad dash to the printer aisle. The 2610 was on the shelf, but no boxes below it. They had every other model, but no 2610. Soon, others showed up, and we were all looking around in a panic. Now I'm thinking, "This isn't fair. I got here at 1:00, and now people who showed up at 3:00 and 4:00 are at square one with me. I have no advantage by this point. We ask a CC employee, and he points us to the printer aisle (duh!). We told him there are none there, and he says, "Well, if they're not on the shelf, then we don't have any." FURIOUS!!! I think they might be on a pallet in the main aisle. So I leave and run around the store looking for them. Nothing. So I return to the printer aisle, and now there's like 15 people there (this is like 5:05). One lady has her arm draped over the floor model. She said she asked a manager, and he's looking, but said if there are none, she can have the display. The manager returns to say he has a couple in back, and they haven't been put out yet. Everyone points to the lady holding the display and tells him that she was there first and deserves the first one (they obviously didn't see me in the aisle at 5:00:05). He hands her and another lady one, and tells us there's a few more, and to meet him by the back door. All 15 or so of us rush the back door, just like when the front doors were opened 5 minutes earlier. He says he only has a few, and I reach over the people in front of me, look him square in the eye, and told him I've been in line since 1:00. I know, sappy story, but I felt I deserved one. I was willing to wait longer than most, so I wasn't going to leave without one. He handed it to me, and I got it. I'm sure I made some people mad, but I didn't waste a night of sleep to leave without what I came for. I could have been nice and waited my turn, but timidity gets you nothing on BF. It was me or them, and I chose me. :)

How'd you get that? No option to buy for me.

Man, I'd love to be there for the "I told you so!" moment. Some people just have no idea.

I'm not sure I'd wait for hours in the cold to save on a DVD. What is it normally, $20? If someone offered me $12 to stand in the cold for 5 hours, I'd tell them where to put it. :)

I use reseller ratings to check out the credibility of online stores that I've never heard of, to make sure they don't just take your money and never ship the item. I think most people know what they're getting when they go to Best Buy. I won't let reseller ratings influence which major chain I shop at. And yes, it's funny they have 23 ratings in 6 months. I have a feeling people don't use online reseller ratings for major chains, unless they have a problem. You're more likely to log in and give a good review for a company like B&H, which has awesome customer service, but isn't known by the majority.

Are the CC items for sale, or just advertised? I clicked the HP Printer, and it says I can't buy it. Items that are just advertised should be removed form that list. I already know what is on sale tomorrow.

I waited too long, and went out at 11am, and all papers in town were sold out. I live in a small suberb of Phoenix (Maricopa), about 20 miles outside of town, with a population of about 10,000. If all the papers in this one-horse town are sold out by 11am, that means everyone is interested in BF deals! I think I need to go a few hours earlier now.

The cans and bottles have the polar bears on them. I miss Santa.
