AaronOnline Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Or you could skip the Madonna concert and do something worth-while. Hahaha Ok ok, I cannot bash her music, I am an Insane Clown Posse fan so who am I to put down someone elses favorite artist. Of course, I used to know ICP so I kinda have a reason lol I will be going out and braving the crowds... don't really want to but, with some of the deals going on, I really have no choice since it is my only shot at having certain things...

bigjimslade Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Well, dont they truely set up the store the morning of Friday around 1-2am?Some do and some dont. The store I have been going to have been setting up for BF around 8pm or 9pm on Wednesday. They will bring out the big stuff, stack them and put rope around them. One BB I was in in Ft Worth already put some of the stuff by the Geek Squad counter and there already have been some reports like that so far by other members. It is all about home work and seeing your chances. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neboo Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 While waiting in line for the ps3 I was in the store and saw 20 of the eMachines desktops that they had just unloaded in the store. They were definately the 189 dollar ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Wood Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I did a little recon today at the Gwinnett Place BB in GA. I saw pallets jammed against the Magnolia section to the right of the front door. They were wrapped in black plastic, but the tops were exposed on some. The closest pallet to me was holding the 32" LCD Westinghouse TV. I couldn't count the number of TV's, but BB was nice enough to leave an inventory tag on the pallet. A total of 60...I doubt that many were on the pallet, so I assume it is the total number of 32" TV's available at the store. They had started making part of their mazes already, especially near the computer section and checkouts. I got caught looking at my BF shopping list printed from the BB.com by an employee. He said "planning on having a good weekend?" We talked for a bit and he said he saw a lot of people walking around the store today with printouts like mine...hmmmm, better not go to this store for BF! Sounds like it will be crowded!

bigjimslade Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 I just got back from doing some recon at my BB and I talked with my PSA. When I walked into my BB they had a big sign announcing the PSA program and what if offers for BF. They have already started to set up and they already had the desktops behind the geek counter. I counted 50 desktops. I will go back tomarrow to do more recon and intel. I will post my reports here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayWithFire75 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I have never thought of that. Great idea. They were stocking stuff at my Wal-mart already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdaredevil Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I was just at the BB in Westwood, CA and they had the 9 32" Westings stacked up in the front of the store. This BB doesn't get as crowded as other and most of the students have gone home for Thanksgiving (its close to UCLA). It's got a 24 hour Ralphs next door which helps for bathroom runs :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurnee Al Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I just got back from my BB. Nothing is out yet. The only prep they did was the yellow tape on the carpeting to identify the checkout lines. My BB has about 12 cash registers, so that is very nice. No stacks of anything are out yet. They have many PCs piled up on top of the ailes. I checked out their laptop cage, and there weren't too many in there! As for the one thing I was eyeing, the 17" LCD monitor, they only had about 8 on the shelf. Ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
