**Nevermind, only purchase in store on the website.** :(

Well, I just received an email today from Circuit City about the Toshiba laptop. It's the same laptop as the one in store. I wonder if I can just purhcase it online and go pick it up tomorrow morning and do all that AOL crap at the store? This would save me a lotta pain and driving. Not to mention I could go elsewhere and get other deals. :)

?Celeron® M processor 370
?60GB 5400RPM hard drive
?15.0? XGA display ?CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive
?512MB of DDR2 SDRAM

You save: -$9200.00

$799.99

Yo so does any know for sure if the HP 5.1megapixel camera at compusa is really the R707? Frys has the Casio Exilim EX-Z50, Best Buy has the Kodak C360, and Compusa has the HP one...all of 'em are $130...which one is the best? I'm leaning towards the Exilim right now.

So I've never done the black friday thing before. If I was interested in one of these laptop deals, what exactly would I have to do to get one? :p

i'll be scouting out BB around 8-9pm to see if any lines have formed and decide then how early i need to go. i did a drive by last year around 3am and it was crowded.

Black friday sites says compusa's deal starts at 12 AM and ends at 11:59 PM, does that mean they're open 23:59?!

traditionally, I think 4am for a 6am opening will get you in the top 30.. of course that depends on how populated your area is and how many BBs there are. I'd get there at 330am if I wanted something real bad.

But I don't. ;)

I wanna take my laptop and sit outside BB but I'm wondering if they'll let me carry it in in my bag when the store opens? I guess it'd looking suspicious walking around with a laptop bag on but I don't wanna get out of line to take it back to the car.

Does frys electronics have a blackfriday sale? What would it be? I have no idea what store to go to tomorrow because to be perfectly honest, I've never done black friday and yes I'm willing to wait in line, yell at cashiers, get stepped on and eat who ever comes in my way (biting).

350 instant savings cuts it down to $450. a $250 rebate for the aol deal cuts it down to $200.

anyone know what time costco opens? I went earlier this week they had a sign up and I had written down the time, but I can't find it now.

It was either 8am or 9am.

I bet it's going to vary a lot by location.

I have no idea what time to arrive at walmart either.
