is it all at the same time with respect to time zones, or does it depend on the region?

I'd imagine it's 6am in whatever local time zone you're in...

Although this year, BB isn't looking so impressive...and I actually have some money too. :frown:

You are exactly the kind of consumer that BB is trying to get rid of.

<--- BB employee.

If it is anything like the last 2 years we open at around 6am. Although it doesn't really matter what time we open because if your ass isn't in line at 9pm the night before you ain't gonna be getting crap anyway. The primary killer add pieces ($500 laptop, $300 computer package, etc.) are all sold out within the first hour.

At last year's BF at the Augusta, GA, BB, there was a couple that was visiting from out of town. They had an RV and had parked it in BB's lot at 6PM the evening before. One of the couple was up at all times and as soon as the next customer drove up, that person went to stand in line....around midnight.

As for the loss-leader items, that BB handed out item-reserve tickets to whoever wanted the item to those in line, first come, first served. The notebook tickets last year lasted through about 25 people before they were gone....the PC did the same. Both were "sold out" about an hour before the doors opened.

They won't be opening on BF.
they don't like people looking for deals. They don't want your business.
