phatferd Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 First of all this site is awesome, I accidently came across it and am forever thankful. I never have shopped on BF, but after seeing how much I can save I think I will. I really want to take advantage of the laptop deals. I am leaning towards BB if the Walmart being 488 is true. The closest Best Buy is about 30 minutes away so I want to make only 1 trip in the early hours. I called them and they said people generally line up 1-2 hours before they open and that there is no need for me to get there at 12am. I really don't want to either because I usually am really tired after a Thanksgiving meal. If I have to get there at 12am I will probably be pulling an all-nighter and I don't know if I can hang. I really need a laptop, I am moving to Phoenix in Jan. to attend ASU. I live in Orange County and the Best Buy right off a main freeway. Another thing, if I logged onto their website at whatever time they update would I be better off or worse? I think I'd have a better shot at Wal-Mart (area is full with a lot of upperclass people, I don't see them waking up at 4am to get a sale) and would hate to miss out at BB and screwing myself by not getting to Wal-Mart.

Mike Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I think trying to snag one online will be worse. I would get to bestbuy by 1am to get a laptop. You can always hang out in your car if you're the only one there with the heater on.
BLKFRI Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I live in Orange County and at the 2 Best Buys I've gone to in the past 9 years the time to be one of the first 50 in line has moved up about an hour each year. I started getting there at 4:00, last year midnight (was about 15th). You can get there when the manager said, but you won't even find a place to park. You should plan on getting there by 11:00. Good Luck!
phatferd Posted November 15, 2005 Author Posted November 15, 2005 Which one do you go to? The Tustin Market Place is the closest one to me.
ebony0421 Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 This is serious stuff and you really must have a game plan. You should plan to be there early if you want a laptop. The experts on here have good advise, good luck.
