Blast! Thanks Marcster. :) I need the 185/65HR15s They were like $10 more than the 14s I think. Anyway, I hear that's a great tire if anyone is looking for new tires. :)

I didn't get the sears ad in my paper and the graphical web version is not cooperating with my modem connection here. Are the prices listed in the ad for a particular size, or any size? I can't read the fine print on the ad scans and the text version of the ad online doesn't say. The tires I'm looking at are the BF Goodrich Traction T/A, sale price is listed as $54.99. Now, it says "Save $16 - $24 on 4" - to me the fact that they gave a savings RANGE might indicate that it's for multiple sizes. But on the other hand, the tires in my size are $80 regularly, so that would be quite a bit more than a $24 savings on 4... meaning it's probably NOT all sizes. So if anyone has the ad and can read the fine print that I can't read on the ad scan, could you let me know if it specifies a size? :)

Sounds like a recipe for confrontation unless they get in those chairs before anyone else gets in line. I could see people just bypassing the chairs or moving them.

Uh... don't you think it costs them money to design and make the things? If they sold them for $50 without requiring a 2 year commitment, they'd be losing money.

They'd probably get you for tresspassing or something.

Rush Hour 2 Goldmember Minority Report Catch Me if You Can Demolition Man Devil's Advocate Billy Madison Road to Perdition Lethal Weapon 2 Spy Game Sleepers Falling Down Lethal Weapon 3 All worth $3.44. Not good enough to get me into the store though. :) (that's not a complete list... just the ones I've seen that are worth buying for what you'd pay to rent it at Blockbuster )

If I was close to the front of the line and they didn't pass out as many tickets as the ad said they'd have... yeah, I'd count. :)

Don't you think it's interesting that Best Buy, a national chain, had 23 reviews in 6 months, and a much smaller camera store has 624 rewviews in 6 months? Most people will never have a problem with Best Buy... as long as they read their return policy (it's the only store I've ever seen that has the return policy on a huge 15'x15' sign in the store... they're not trying to hide anything). If you're worried, ALWAYS pay with a credit card. If you have a problem with them, do a chargeback.

I don't have personal experience with that drive, but: - 5400 RPM is slow, 7200 RPM is standard now - I don't see any mention of the cache, but it's likely 2 MB. I believe 8 MB is pretty standard now. - I don't see any mention of the warranty length. 1 year? 3 years? 5 years? On the plus side, it's a 2.5" drive (laptop size), so it's pretty portable. If you don't need the extra portability (personally I don't carry external hard drives around in my pocket...) or you want more than the dismal 40 GB of storage space that drive comes with, this could be an example of something you could get a better deal on year-round. Hard drive deals are a dime a dozen. I just recently bought a 300 GB, 7200 RPM, 8 MB cache, 5-year warranty drive for $79 after rebate... plus $20 for an external enclosure.

I would not use a form letter, it would be ignored. But thanks for the e-mail addresses, I re-sent my e-mail directly to Andy Wise. Judging from his response to all2tired got though, I don't think they care too much about the truth.

Well they don't tell you you have to go to church. And Thanksgiving isn't a religious holiday. But I really did hate not being able to buy alcohol on Sunday when I went to college in Indiana. :)

I LOATHE going up to MacArthur Rd during the holidays! I've spent an hour just waiting to get out of the parking lot of the Lehigh Valley Mall! Edit: scarface, in my experience traffic flows much more smoothly near the Bridgewater Commons than at the Lehigh Valley Mall. :)

Hah... Rt 22 runs across the whole state! I'll be shopping on Rt 22... but on the other side of the state.

What a retarded law. Well, at least Walmart employees won't have to work on Thanksgiving.

I just sent mine to the [email protected] address they have on the main page. No response.

My local best buy will not be accepting returns on Friday... didn't say anything about Saturday.

What brand discs are they? I'm hoping the crowd at Sears is nice and small while all you suckers are packed into CC and BB

... I'm going to assume you're joking. :)

Here's a mirror (I figured they might take the story down eventually anyway :)): http://www.savemejebus.net/

The store really shouldn't allow that. Maybe the people you hear about getting trampled every year are the people who cut in line, and it was intentional. Some people really have no shame.

One thing I brought up in my e-mail is that they apparantly didn't give Brad a chance to comment. Usually you see these negative stories and they end with "so and so declined to comment" or "could not be reached for comment." Not so here. If they had given Brad a chance to comment, he could have cleared up the inaccuracies. I really think you should sue them Brad. At least talk to DevilsAdvocate or another lawyer you know online and see what your options are.

You were a bit nicer than I was... :) I was respectful but firm. You might want to edit your e-mail address out of your post. And your full name. :)

Heh... when I showed Jenni the video she asked why they only went after Gottadeal and no other Black Friday sites - the best reason I could come up with is that they couldn't make the other sites rhyme with anything.

Well I TRIED to tone it down as much as I could. :) But they're a news organization, when faced with the facts it won't matter what packaging it comes in, they'll have to run a retraction. And it sure as heck better get as much airtime as that drivel did!

Brad, you really should consider talking to a lawyer about suing them for slander. There really is no excuse that crap.
