My friend got in line at 5PM and got me a voucher (He was #30). I was #120 in line and gave up because there was no way we could get it that far.

Those fvckers stormed the store and grabbed ALL the 32" Westinghouses.

BB upgraded us to the Toshiba sets. No tuner, so it sucks. I can't use it. Then again since when was I going to use this? EBAY! =)

I got out at 8am.
 
There were plenty of cutters in the BB fairfield line. But at least I walked out with a 32" westinghouse, 19" samsung monitor, and a wii coupon...

Had a great time in line....best crowd ever and the BB was exceptional with their organization, helpfulness, and were unbelievably polite without exception.
 
Apparently, some friends of mine successfully walked into Best Buy yesterday morning right at store open - bypassing the line entirely - by quoting some legal mumbo jumbo that says when the store is open, it is open, and unless it is open earlier specifically for people waiting in line, then they are free to walk in the doors at regular store open hours.

IMO, Black Friday store deals are somewhat bullsh1t. They advertise all these insane prices.. that are sold out within 1 hour of store open.. and the advertisements say 'for this weekend.. 3 whole days of shopping' where customers are driving to the store to make these purchases. It's false advertising unless they offer rainchecks on everything, imo. They should not be allowed to say 'prices good until Sunday' if they do not intend on honoring any of the prices or stocking the items for more than 1 hour after Friday's open.

As long as the ad states limited quantities, what is so hard to understand?

Your friends got balls. At least 100's of people who had being out in the weather, is tired, and hopeful would have seen that. If one person in line should protest, others will likely to join in as well.
