No, I wouldn't camp out. Let's say your looking at a TV that retails for $175, and is on sale for BF for $100.
Is it worth camping out for 12 hours and enduring the madness and waiting in line for an hour to check out to grab a TV to save $75? In mathematical terms, $75/13 hours (12+1) = $5.76/hour.
And you might be enduring weather to make that $5.76/hour... Depending on where you live...



It comes down to what's your time worth?
However, consider places that are less popular, like Staples, Officemax and Office Depot.

. I might hit the stores after they open to avoid the rush of people.

Update on the end of analog TV:

Yeah, way too many folks haven't switched yet. Digital television is still a choice and not a requirement.

Rather than wait in line of BF, you could also possibly spend that time filling out envelopes for the McDonalds Monopoly game and get a great deal on a TV at Best Buy.

What do you think that the best price will be on a 36-42" LCD TV? DH wants one. That will be the main thing I am after.
I need one too!!!! If you find out, please let me know!

You didn't miss anything. Brad posted that prior to the release of the 2007 McDonald's Monopoly game rules. Best Buy isn't participating this year. McDonald's 2007 game partners are Toys R Us and Foot Locker.
Best Buy will still have some great prices on TV's on BF. I'm in the market for a 37" LCD HD...

anyone expect 42" and up to be under $700 this year?
thanks
I think this is very likely for two reasons. You can get a 42" HD plasma most days for $765 at Circuit City (if you can get a 10% coupon). Additionally, I got a 42" Sanyo HD plasma on clearance at WalMart for $700 back in July (at other locations, they were even cheaper at $550). Unfortunately, it's needing to be returned (I'm not happy with the warranty policy on it).
What I'm curious about is whether there will be a 50" that cracks the $1000 barrier. I'm becoming more and more convinced one will.
