I understand all of this, camping for BF is not new to me, I do it every year but if the days people are willing to wait in line keep getting earlier by the year, before we know it you will need to be out there 3 months early .....

Grrr .... looks like no BF for be this year. At first I had not planned to go because my husband passed away last month and the kids and I are just going through the motions. Then I figured, hey this would be a great way to not sit home and stay depressed. Well I just called my store and there are already 2 people camping. Sorry I think it is disgusting, some people have to work and do not have the luxury of camping for 3 days or more. Just one more blow to my already worse year of my entire life.

You are 100% correct! The problem is, people will always find a way to get around set rules. The family in front of me with 5 people will just bring 2 tents next time and act like they do not know each other to get around any limits set. It really is sad and the violence is hard to watch. The police were called twice before 1:00 am at our best buy for line cutting. I truly hope no one was in REAL need for law enforcement at that time. So as much as I would like to see some rules in place, I know human nature, and people who are not nice will remain just that, rules or not

You rock and I am more then grateful for your kindness! Thank you - thank you - thank you!

The worst black Friday for me ever! I was in line at Best Buy at 11:00 am on Thursday morning. I was not first, the chinese family of 5 (3 adults 2 kids) were first. This was the same family that was 3rd last year and I was nice enough to get them a few tickets they asked for (I was first that year). I sat there all day and night till 4 am Friday to find out our store only had 3 of the $189. laptops and the chinese family took every one of the tickets. Did I mention they made it clear they were not there for that computer all night long? Did I mention how clear I made it that I WAS, and very excited that I was finally able to replace my dead laptop. I left there at 4 am in tears, might sound stupid to some but I was upset on so many levels. Anyone know if there store only got 3 of that computer?????????????????? I look forwaord to this day all year like most of you, this experience has made this my last.

I have not had time to stalk the site or sales this year like I normally would but in the little bit of searching I have done and read I have yet to see a laptop under $200. Am I missing it or is there not one out there this year?

ok thanks I will get on it and do the foot work ..... grrrr .....

I never read anything about gift cards.

Did anyone else get this computer?? It was the $299. PC e-machine bundle. We are so far very happy with the computer itself but when you try to install the printer it CAME with you get a pop up saying it is not compatible with with the computer (windows 7). I also bought the $99. blue ray which was BROKE right out of the box so when I took it back I asked about the printer issue. The manger went to the back and looked it up on the HP (they gave an hp printer) website and it says it IS compatible. So I know I am not crazy and he said something about downloading new drivers?? Shouldnt this stuff work without all the fuss??

I just wish the managers would READ the page that says what is suppose to be done across the board

post a link I would love to read about it.

I just wanted to thank all of you for your help and input here on BF :) I wish I could hang around all year but I never have money to spend on "extra" stuff so seeing all the deals would just kill me, lol.

How did you make out?? I did not bring my daughter but the guy behind me had his son who looked about 9 or 10. They intended to get 3 laptops ($197.) and JUST before they came out with tickets an employee announced that NO ONE under 18 would get a ticket. I spoke up and told them they are contradicting the policy on there site and they could not have cared less. So I wonder if this was just our store????

ok so I got the $99. insignia at BB and I see you guys saying it is not wireless .... My TV is not near a computer, can anyone help me? How do you "wire" this? What do you hook the either net cord to? I am so confused ....

We were #1 in line at our Best Buy at 9:30 Thursday morning. I was happy I had no worries about getting what we came for but I was so socked at home many people came to us and asked us to get tickets for "stuff" for them. My son (age 18 got the HP 198. laptop) I got: $198. HP laptop $99. Blue Ray (with free beetle juice blue ray movie $119. white with pink dots digital camera $299. E-machine PC Hubby was at Sears and got: $19.99 - down comforters (x4 1 for each of us) $29.99 - Ihome Ipod clock radio $29.00 - new balance sneaks for hubby All in all I think we did pretty well. The comforters alone were a steal.

Sorry I did see it just after I posted this :)

Ok so it is almost midnight, are you in line??

just an FYI I did go to our store and chatted with the manager. He said it is at the discretion of management (I would have a print out of the rules and give it to your boys to show them if there is a problem.

Thanks Jim, I did see that page but I still wonder why they took the info off the front in the ad itself.

ok sorry to keep buggin you on this but the Magellan for 89.99 DOES have this feature, what is it lacking that would be a MUST HAVE in your opinion compared to the Garmin 205?

Hmmm well the 129 garmin and the 150. tom tom both lack text to speech also This is a last minute add for us so I have no had time to dig around.

thank you everyone I would say it is not worth the price without the text to speech? Would you agree?

any info on the door buster Garmin 205w at Best Buy?? I see it says NO text to speech - what does that mean???

I got that junk 3 years ago and it has been nothing but problems ever since. It is slower and we have had to replace the cord 3 times. If they had a Toshiba for $100. I would have passed. HP for me any day of the week!!!

Last night when this page became active it was CLEARLY stated that you need tickets for all these items. I just looked and it says NOTHING about tickets anymore ... ?? Can you imagine if they decided to not do tickets all of a sudden??
