Good idea! Man the mods on this site are quick and all over the place!

I have seen LCD and Plasma's as I'm sure all of you have. I think Plasma's blow LCD's outta the water, at least what I have seen. If you like gaming or sports Plasma's are the way to go. LCD has a slower response time than Plasma's. If a football game is on the ball blurs a little more with LCD because the response time is slower and a video game would respond slower to a button being pressed.

I read the OC Register this morning and there were no BF ads.

I'm in SoCal, where are you at? I am in the Tustin area.

Tustin/Santa Ana/Orange California. I love California, but I am moving to Phoenix on January 1st for school:D

I'm a rookie, but these are things that veterans need to pass down to the next generation.

I did everything and it's still $499...I don't see how this is for $399. Can you provide a link?

How is your issue with something my problem? It would be your problem. If I had a trenchcoat down to my ankles nobody would know a single thing. I would never do anything around children that would be inappropriate.

The WM plasma says it can be ordered online. I wasn't planning to get a TV, however, this is a deal I cannot pass up. Would they charge shipping on BF for one of their deals? I will be in line at CC so I can't make it to WM, online is my only option.

I did everything like you said and it was $499...it said it was originally $650 and the coupon code you had took %150 off.

I won't miss, the 32oz bottles have a big opening. I have done this on long trips to Mexico when we go through some isolated places.

I would like to do this, but I am afraid that people will bitch and moan and all that stuff. If I peed in a Gatorade bottle without anyone knowing they would just think it was Gatorade unless they looked really closely... Are there any rules to these lines? Can I have someone hold my spot while I run to the bathroom or what? If people complain can they do anything? I honestly don't care what people think of me. I'm a nice guy, but if I get there at 12am before all of them I can't control human nature.

I am being serious and I am sure others are thinking the same thing. I don't want to end up on the sex offenders list for exposing myself. What if I were wearing a big trenchcoat and was fully covered and went into a Gatorade bottle. Would I get in trouble? I don't care what people around me think, I could care less, I just care what that Po-Po think.

People are over-exagerating. I agree with getting there early to get your stuff, however, from everyone I know who has ever gone BF shopping says if you get there at 1am you will most likely be the first in line and if you aren't you'll be one of the first 10. The masses come around 3-4am. Just what people told me.

Don't pay anything for security stuff at the store. All of that stuff is free on the internet and is more than good enough. Like others have mentioned AVG and a free firewall is Zone Alarm, however, micorsofts firewall is good. I know people talk bad on micorsofts firewall, but it blocks everything I have ever tried to send through to test it out.

I think people on this site are exagerating a tad bit. Everyone that I know personally who has done BF before said 2-3am is the time to show up. I am going to my CC at 12 just to be safe, but I don't expect anyone to be there yet. I think a lot of people get places around 4am and the line is 300 long, but how many of those 300 showed up between the hours of 3am and 4am? I would suspect that 3am is the time the masses show up, so I would think between 12-2am you probably get a dozen.

I've seen the 15" in CC before and they were black. I kinda want the black I hate silver looking electronics. For some reason they look cheap to me. Thanks for all the help. I should probably go in and talk to a sales associate, but sometimes they don't know too much. lol.

I was, but the PDF scan of the ad and the one you showed me (I appreciate you showing me, so please don't feel like I am being rude. I am just trying to figure it out because reviews are helpful) look different. They could have 2 different colored models. The one you linked me to (which must be from this site) says it's an HD Monitor, which I am almost certain is different than HD Ready.

I don't think that's the same monitor. It could be, but the one in the ad is black and it's HD Ready, which I believe is different than an HD monitor.

Will all the cheap CDs and DVDs be non-doorbusters? I don't want to bargain bin hunt for the DVDs and CDs I want. I would rather just log onto their website and select what I want. I also want the 15" LCD TV Polaroid at CC and the 32" RCA there.

I am looking into getting an LCD screen. I hate my big 'ol CRT monitor. It looks great and I have no issues with the picture, but it just takes up way too much room on my desk. I saw the LCD TV 15" Polaroid at CC for like $180. Is this a good LCD? I know it's kinda small, but my dad has a 15" LCD screen and I have no issues with it. I am not particularly looking for an LCD TV, but to get an HD ready LCD TV is worth it to me for under $200. Is this a good deal?

It's for CC, but I agree and I am kinda looking forward to having my first all-nighter on BF. I never knew how intese BF was. I might have to make it a yearly thing. With that said I really want this laptop, so I will do anything to get it. I am even planning on driving an extra 30 minutes away to go to a CC that I called because they are the closest CC to tell me they are for sure doing tickets.

I want to get the laptop at CC. I went in there the other day to scope it out and my mom wanted to go with me because she wanted to go to a bakery next door. While I am there I ask the sales associate, "what if I buy it the day before and bring my reciept in on Friday morning?" Of course he said I wouldn't be allowed to do that and then my mom out of nowhere got into him saying, "you have to honor the price adjustment. Your policy states that you have 14 day's to adjust prices." The guy basically said the reason you can't is because you can only get the price of $450 as long as they are in stock and the only way to guarantee they will still be in stock is if I get here and am one of the first 20 or so people in line. I then told him it won't be out of stock if I come in a 8:00am because I will have the computer in my possesion and all you'll have to do is adjust the price. He then said that wouldn't work because I would have to exchange it and they would take it from me and I would then have to get one off the floor and by that time there won't be any. To me this is a scam, how can they say they would have the take the one I already have and I would have to get another one. To me they know they didn't think it over too well and are trying to confuse me into not doing this. My mom wouldn't stop yelling at the store manager. She was telling him that they have to honor the price and that you can't change your exchange policies for 1 day out of the year.

I am not a weirdo by any stretch of the imagination. My next door neighbor is a woman who lives with her dog and is about 80+ years old. She's nice, but she's made dozens of citizens arrests in her day, I always make fun of her when she does, but if this were to happen to me I would make a citizens arrest. I don't care if I look like a moron for doing it, but that is stealing and if I was in line for 5+ hours to get what I wanted for it to be stolen from my posession I would not hesitate. I would also demand that the store sell me the item for the BF price even if they have to special order one a week later. If the store can't keep order in their store, the customer deserves to be compensated.

If only newegg.com had BF sales. I wouldn't leave my chair.
