    Ok, I just got back from the six stores i went to today and got some ok deals and was wondering what other people got. I left my house at 5am and didnt have to wait in line outside for anystores (thank god as it was 14 degrees) Heres what I got and the stores i went to:

    Compusa:
    Seagate 200gb Harddrive for $30

    Circut City:
    Xbox Halo 2 Case thing (holds controlers and games) for $2
    Cat in the Hat DVD for my little sister - $5

    Microcenter: Went there but no good deals

    Best Buy:
    Tom Clancy Splinter Cell Chaos Theroy for $10

    Office Max: Again nothing good

    Staples:
    M$ Wireless InteliMouse for $15 (marked down from $50)

    All and all it was a good 4 hours shopping. Finished at 9am and hung out with the friends I went with until now. So what did everyone else get?

    Some nice bargains there dude. I suppose our UK equivalent is the January sales, so I'll tell you what I get then.

    It seems much better for consumers to have the sales before xmas. Damn.

    fooking ass. Amazing deals. You'll be lucky to get anything near the deals you've got, £17 for 200GB is the best bargain I've ever seen in my whole life!

    Wow, then i guess i shouldnt mention the 160gb sata drive for $20 (would have bought that but they sold out)

    And I should mention that those arent the out the door prices (well everything but the harddrive is) I had to pay $120 upfront for it and now wait for $90 worth of rebates. Still worth it though. Left the house with $200 and came back with $25 :sigh:

    Ahh..black friday, the only day an old woman would beat the hell out of you for snatching the last toy she wanted for her grandson/granddaughter. Hell, just about everyone gets in a rage today.

    arg, my parents made me help put decorations up.

    Fry's electronics had some killer deals. The had a 500w power supply for $5. Then they had a sg 300gb for about $70. The deals were endless, but i couldt go. Atleast i was able to pick up all the watercooling parts i needed from home depot tonight. I figured fry's would be completely out of stuff. They normally run out of sale items on normal sales, let alone black friday.

    60gb black ipod for $128.39 at best buy :) And the other one within a ten mile radius sold for $399 (yes, they had just two, and the timing on finding mine was nothing but sheer luck and knowing half the employees)

    of course, I had to give back my 20gb 4G

    Umm... free cell phone case at best buy as well. And a couple pens. Free soda where I work... but that's cause I work there :/ Free pen at the bank also, but I think they shorted me 2c on my deposit. Yes, I *increased* my bank account's balance on black friday!

    Yeah, no real shopping. Too many arses going berserk over marked up sale prices. Went out around 7:30am hoping to get my exchange done on a day when they'd have just gotten stuff in, total mob scene, line wrapped around the store. I'm doing my shopping online only I think this year. Let the fedex guy deal with the lines.

    nope, you need to have an address in the states and a bank account in the states to put the cheque into when it arrives

    By the time I got to compUSA they had sold out of everything, was after the drives but no luck, just got 50 16x printable DVD+Rs for $11

    At best buy I got season 3 of 24 and the shield for $20 each and a 120GB drive for $20, and a D-link usb 11g adapter and 11g router for $15

    At staples, 200GB drive for $30, Office depot 1GB sandisk memory stick for $30

    Considering buying the $120 74GB raptor from newegg as well

    Not too bad, just annoyed that I didnt go to compusa at midnight the night before to get the drives :blah:

    Rd52: where did you get Q4 for $30?
