ignacio7v Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 My sister wanted a laptop. I will make the line for her starting at 1:00 am on 12/26 then I will ask her to switch with me at 5:00 am since I have a plane to catch at 7:45 am the same day. Wish me luck.

Wish me luck.Assuming 1AM is early enough, your sister is going to be really lucky. $199 for a brand new laptop is possibly the deal of the year :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Man Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 None of those stores here. I wonder if there will be people willing to give up their Christmas and start the line at 6 in the morning the 25th just to get the laptop. Heck they gave up Thanksgiving for a celeron processor, why not Christmas too? Yeah that's sarcassim, hehe. It just got too crazy this year with people lining up for stuff that wasn't even worth the effort. It looks like a few good deals with this store. The hard drive sale would be well worth getting out early on the 26th for. Nothing would be worth sitting out through Christmas over though.

Do you really think it'll be that busy? Like Black Friday? I've never paid much attention to the sales the day after Christmas -- I'm usually tired of shopping at that point.
