Well funny story at Black Friday this year..... so me and my friends arrive at midnight at the Best Buy in Sunnyvale, CA with some chairs and prepare for the impending wait. The line had snaked around the store all the way toward the entrance of the plaza and about 2 hours into the wait... suddenly a loud cry is heard. A few people start running toward the entrance of the store then suddenly BOOM the whole line starts running. I look at my friend and ask him if we should run too. He said I should go and he is going to take care of the chairs. So I run which makes the people who didn't run start running too. I manage to push myself into a densely clumped mass of flesh waiting. I had no idea what was happening so I tried to ask the people around me... apparently some fool was passing out numbers to people in the line and then this led some people to believe that tickets for laptops were being passed out which caused a panic which caused people to start running. While I was in the line, somebody yelled to everyone else to get back to where everyone was. Some were foolish to obey while others stayed and held their ground. THe next thing you know another line starts forming but instead of forming around the store it was now a line away from the entrance. I pushed myself closer to the wall knowing it was safer there when the employee came to organize the line. The police came and forced everyone to remain clam. 30 minutes later a employee came by and forced everyone to get into a single file line. The shocking thing was people left their tents, chairs and trash coffee all along the wall because they were too scared to lose their spot. For the next hour or so the poor BB employee had to listen to people wailing because they lost their place in line when the chaos descended. And I was thinking I bet this isn't the first time this happens and I was amazed at how easily you can screw people at the front of the line... just make a bunch of numbered pieces of paper pass it out to a few people. Cause a panic and get the line all muddled up make sure you're in front and voila you just guaranteed yourself a laptop...since the numbered paper is not official and as long as you have some support from people you're safe. SIDENOTE:: Anyone have any vendors come by trying to sell you overpriced coffee and donuts? Did anyone buy any? I don't think anyone in our line bought anything. Seems like a waste of time. SIDENOTE 2:: Anyone see any fight? I saw some pushing and shoving combined with a loud verbal confrontation for a toshiba laptop. A lot of swearing and finally a employee had to come in and kick them out.

ok so I live within walking distace of both Circuit City and Best Buy in Sunnyvale.. Literally if I walk they'll both only take me 5 minutes to get there.. when Black Friday arrives which store should I go to.. Circuit City has been here 3 month longer then Best Buy so would they have better deals or would the newly opened Best Buy have the better deals..I cant decide... or should I just not sleep and go to Fry's? From your BF experiences which store is better Circuit City or BEst Buy?
