Best Buy has a voucher plan on Black Friday. Basically, it's first come, first served. If you were one of the first few in line (the store closest to me had 6 to sell), then you got first shot at them. I believe the line started at that store Thursday around 7pm - 8pm.I got in line Friday at 2:35am (the doors were open at 5am) and left around 5:15am -- with nothing. If I would have left with nothing due to my getting there too late, well that's just too bad for me. I could have accepted that as it would have been my fault for not being as diligent as those who camped out/braved the cold, but that's not why I left with nothing. I could have gotten a few things left on my list (the important items sold out before the line even moved), but the way the store was set up inside was the most fucked-up setting I have ever seen in my life. The person who made that decision, corporate or local, needs to have a full grown elephant cum in his/her mouth ("...and swallow it!"). Sorry about the visuals, but that's how I feel.
My wife had better luck. At Circuit City, she got 6 of the $2.99-after-rebate Sandisk 1GB cards, 2 cases of the free-after-rebate 50-pack DVD+R spindles and a $39-after-rebate 250GB external hard drive. She then went to Wal-Mart and got, I believe, everything she needed there (numerous items) plus a few items for her sister. She then went to Starbuck's, got two ice coffees and made it back by 8:10am. To make matters worse (or better, depending on how you look at it), she started off at Circuit City with at least 150 - 200 people in front of her!
