One box for both the tower and monitor? That's going to be one heavy, bulky, annoying box to haul around. Unless they have boxes where theyre going to "package" them from now til then I doubt theyll just give us one box with everything. Like I said, my BB had a Tower and the Monitor in seperate boxes. Theyre both pretty big.

On the Californian topic: I've had many out-of-state relatives and visitors come by and something I've heard when I've gone to other states: "You have a California accent." WHAT THE HECK IS A CALIFORNIA ACCENT?! And of course I say, "No, YOU have an accent." My Texan cousin even said we talk faster. I love this state though. Sure, we're a little wacky and "risque" about certain things but I wouldnt have it any other way. It was in the mid 80s today. November 21. 80 Degrees. Suck on that, Maine.* *Nah, you're cool Maine. You provide us with delicious lobster. Unlike that give-nothing state, Wyoming. What do they have pride in? Being close to Canada?

I will never find a better BF DVD deal than two years ago when BB had a 5 for 25 deal. I walked out with A Fistful of Dollars. For A Few Dollars More. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Patton. and The Great Escape for 25 bucks. Awesome deal. Unfortunately, most of CCs titles arent too pleasing.

In years past they didn't do anything. Maybe a 20% off thing or something but I don't think HT does BF stuff. I even think they open at their regular time, not earlier.

Until then....Emulators for your PC. Ninja Gaiden has cured many hours of boredom in my room.

Regular folk are known as Barry's and Jill's to BB.

You cant run and look at the tattoo at the same time. Youll run into something. Draw it on your buddies t shirt and have him run in front of you.

Lots of stuff was 40% off at my local store.

The problem is that everything is 40% off RIGHT NOW. Lots of stuff is going to be scarce by Friday. I went in today and they had very few items in Men's Small and Men's Large.

It's known that the MICRO was never intended to be for kids. It's more chic to fit with the "iPod lifestyle". Think of it as the GBA for College Kids. The SP is the perfect one for kids. It protects the screen and you can beat it up, like kids do, and works fine. Adults love it too but it's aesthetic features are meant more for the kids. The MICRO is for the big kids who don't have anymore room in their pockets. I would go with a MICRO. I hear resolution is much better, smaller screen, but brighter. But that's just me. I dont eat chocolate ice cream and play video games right away.....at least not at the moment.

Barry doesnt even want a desktop. He just wants some software that'll keep his computer healthy after all the shareware he downloads.

Hidden?! They were out in the open, the desktops at least. On the top shelves and some on the floor because they were out of room to stack them. I unfortunately didn't get to peek at the laptops. Sorry, no pics. No digicam or camphone *I know. I'm WAY behind.* And I confirmed from them that they WILL NOT PRICEMATCH ON BF. The DVD box sets that will be on sale are already seperated in their own box. BUT! I did notice that the video games that will be on sale were in very low stock. I dont know if theyll refill the bin but the ones that were advertised were scarce. And they arent even on sale yet.

I scoped out my local Best Buy today, Cerritos, California, and there were AT LEAST 35 eMachines desktops and about 50 17"CRT monitors. When I asked questions about it they answered with a "how do you know about this?" tone. But yeah, LOTS of the BF stuff is already out only with regular prices. I saw lots of audio stuff and the LiteOn DVD revorder and they have all those "black boxes" that they fill with the smaller knick knacks ready to fill up and roll out. I was excited. It's almost showtime people. You have at most two more days to do a practice run then we go live. LIVE!

Is it a little unethical? Possibly. People are acting as if you're going to get the ticket and laugh as you rip it and throw it in the trash. You might just end up giving it to someone without selling it or bartering it. Do you really want to spend another 10 minutes arguing over someone over how much you want for it while in those 10 minutes the checkout line could grow easily from 30 minutes to an hour and a half? What I DO find disturbing is people buying the items BEFORE Black Friday and then hoping to just walk in and get the price adjusted or price matched. Unlike the people who froze their butts off that night they just walk in with their reciept and hope to get the deal that they didn't earn. And let's face it, we EARN these deals by the patience we have in line. But if you go a week before BF and buy something, you've already deprived someone of a chance to get that item because some other person didn't know you could do that. Sure you're not making money but is that fair to the other Black Friday shoppers who didn't know/didn't have the funds for the original item price at the time?

When I buy a new computer I strap it in with seat belts in the car, as if it were a child. Except this child can access Google. And doesnt poop.

Wow, now I feel rather fortunate. It was a nice geek-out moment. The people in the Best Buy line thought I was just a crazy giggling guy. But hey...when a Stormtrooper calls you telling you what's going down you can't help but smile.....and maybe jump around a little.

Like Don King would say: "ONLY IN AMERICA!" I don't think I'd sell any extra tickets I would get but I would trade them to someone for an item or just pretend like im playing dumb around the item and see who REALLY wants it. Or I could just offer to some cute girl. :) ONLY IN AMERICA!

Last year I chose the STAR WARS wake up call for 4:00am, even though I was already gonna be in line by 3:30. I got the call around 5:30. It was neat and I was already in line but man, I hope they work the kinks out this year. I imagine that so many people registered for one that the calling "center" was backlogged with so many calls that they needed to make. It's neat to hear it but don't count on it as your actual wake up call.

Front: "Adults, grannies, children...nothing gets in my way today." Back: "By the time you're done reading this the guy with the tickets passed you up."

Has anyone ever been in a situation where you saw someone with something you wanted and vice versa and you ended up trading items inside the store?

Put the card, even if it's yours just so they can see it, in it's little claw hand so it can show it to the BestBuy ticket giver. It'll look too cute to refuse it a ticket.

Sleep?! I thought that died out with the Reagan administration.

DVD BURNER?! That alone makes me want it. "Look Dad...I got you a new computer...now you can check news and sports scores at any time online...*whispers*andIcanburndvd'swhenyou'renotwatching*whispers*"

Maybe I can take my friend's RoboSapien and have it give it a hug. Or should I say, RoboHugs. So, if you line up behind it....does the robot also get a big-item ticket?
