we just got back. we got to office max at 3:40am and no one else got there till 4:00am that person got right in line so DH got right in line behind him. no one else got in the office max line till after 5. at 5:30 kohls opened so DS and i went there to get the $15 griddle while dh stayed in line. then we came out of there at a little after 6am. we went to target and got buffy season 7 and South Park season 2 for $17.77 each!! also i imagine the people who were waiting outside target since 5am were quite upset to see that they had no playstations or x-box's. there was just a paper sign in electronics that said due to a shipping problem they didn't receive any. luckily i wasn't there for that so no big deal. then we left there at almost 7am,and went to stand in line at officemax with dh. it turns out most of the people in the very long line line were there for the stupid chair.when the store opened at 7:00 everyone rushed inside and i sent dh off to look for the hard drives, we looked in every aisle and then we found out they had them behind the counter where the digital cameras were, not in the hard drive aisle. almost everyone in line was only there for cameras though so we managed to get 4 of the hard drives. we got everything else we wanted (16X Dual layer dvd burner, free after rebate label maker and some dvd+r's) and we're in line to check out at around 7:20. we didn't leave office max until 9:30am! over 2 hours in line. then we went over to walmart and they still had 6 trampolines left. so we got everything we wanted today without too much trouble, other than the initial confusion over where the hard drives were located. i hope everyone else was as lucky.
****actually we were only "handed" 3 hard drives then the guy said he would have to ask his manager if we could have another one, the manager said yes but it would have to stay at the register until we got through the line.
