thanks for the warning! This is why everyone needs to stay here at GD. Brad and the other mods here work very hard to give you the most up to date info and the upper hand in your BF shopping. It is very easy to set up a site and set a trap like a virus. I can set one up in 10 minutes. So everyone lets stay here and soon we will have the WM ad.

I called my friend who lives in LV and works at the Wynn. She said that store near the strip is always packed. She said to get there around noon on thanksgiving.

The week of Black Friday you will be able to download a map of your local store and on that map will tell you which line to get in for each doorbuster.

I have enjoyed all of the comments that you guys have posted about my news why I am not camping out. Some of you have asked why I am not camping out so I will share with you. When the BF section of the site opened up I got excited. I knew soon BB ad would be leaked and there would be great things. This year like last I was sad and let down. I come from the old school of Black Friday where this site and another was the only resource of info on Black Friday. Also you did not have to stand in line for more then 6 hours. Since I live in North Texas most families around here eat turkey in the morning so everyone can watch the Dallas Cowboy game. I would take a nap and hit BB around 10pm Thursday and I would get what I want. Time have changed big time big time. Who would think back in 2000 when I started to do Black Friday that 2 MAJOR computer retailers would not be in business now. Black Friday has become such a publicity machine for the stores and 24 hour news media and I think they have forgotten what is a deal. When I started doing BF there were no large large lines like they are now. The stores take for granted that mobs of people will be there which they are. Many of you who read this leave Gottadeal.com for the year after Black Friday. I have stayed around for the last few years and have gotten Black Friday pricing or better on alot of the stuff I was in line for on BF just from the deals that are posted here. For example I have gotten TVs and hard drives for very lost cost. Alot of you know that I am a BIG Best Buy fan and I am still am. Some of you have asked me why is the BB ad not so good. Is it because of CC going out of business? I dont know. I do know the pricing was sweet in years past. Thanks to H_Hancock they have posted a nice chart to show you what the pricing in the past has looked like. As you can see the pricing has gone up year after year. So the reasons I am not camping out is because the pricing and the ads are not good to stand in line for 48 plus hours. As I said the lines are large because of the media hype over BF. I am not in need for a computer for a long time because I just spent 7k on a MacPro Desktop that will last me for a good 8 years. I am looking for some TVs for my parents and my girlfriends family but I already got some early last month off of GD deal section. Some of you asked about my port a potty and my group that camps out. They will have a port a potty and I am making the people from my group who camps out a Indian and Southern Kosher Thanksgiving. Some of the people are Indian (India) and a few are Jewish and the rest of from the south so I will have something for everyone. I always take care of my friends no matter what. If anyone has any camping questions or anything just ask!

I agree!

I post this question every year so answer the poll and post your recon tips!

BB is famous for having the manufacture create special SKU and model numbers. They do this on TVs and Computers. This is way you cant pre buy and they can track BF sales.

Between 3am-6am Thanksgiving Day local time

The reason I put such a longer wait time on computers is that most of the people waiting in line for them are high school and college kids. They get out there extra early. Where I camp I am the first in line. Behind me there is always high school and college kids behind my group. Their parents drop them off and check on them from time to time. It is fun for them and they are young.

For the netbook I would get there no latter then 11pm Wednesday local time. Computers are very popular more so then video game system. If you have anymore questions just ask!

Welcome to the community! I would say Thanksgiving morning.

Right now I am not camping out. I dont see anything in the ads right now that screams for me to camp.

Where I camp you make friends fast. With that said when you need to go to the potty let everyone around you know where you are going and how long you will be. Also if you go get food offer the people around you to get them food as well. 2 hours or so before the doors open most people will start to break camp. When this happens you need to break camp, clean up the area around you, put it in your car and then come right back to your spot.

The best thing you can do is keep an open line of communication with the store manger and assistants. If the manager says no that means no. Dont try to push it. I have a great relationship with my BB manager and I follow his wishes. In return he feeds me Wednesday night, gives me a employ discount on top of the sale price and makes sure I am happy.
