Just curious, anyone going Black Friday shopping? Last 2 years in a row, I went to Best Buy where I got (and am currently still using) my Envision 22" LCD monitor and Sandisk mp3 player. Now Target seems to have the best deal so far (odd right?) on a hard drive. Theyre selling a 1TB external hard drive for $59.99. Thats totally hard to miss. Now I can understand what some of you might say:

"What are you thinking? Waking up at midnight or O dark o'clock in the morning just for some crazy good deal?"

"The crowds are gonna be crazy out there!"

With the economy in the state that its in, some items are actually worth going after, like this 1TB external hard drive (btw which is made by Western Digital). I mean for 1 morning out of 365 mornings, its definitely worth waiting for. Lets just hope that they retailers dont tick off the customers by not supplying enough of the big products that people will go after. I have heard of some products being sold out quickly and some people being upset with the store because corporate didnt think far enough about the possibility. Overall, let me know what you think about it. If you hear of some great deal, by all means, post it. Id love to read what possible deals havent been posted yet!
 
nope.

never done shopping on Black Friday before.. -w-;;
(parents are busy (and i cant drive... *sits in a corner*))
 
there are good deals on Black Fridays, but you really need to have a line-backer mentality to successfully navigate the mobs.

Anyone wanna wager on the over/under of people who get trampled this year :O
 
Remember last year a Wal-Mart employee got trampled to death? People amaze me.

I stick to online deals for Black Friday.
 
I went one year about 3 years ago. Never went other wise. I work overnights now so i'm sure I'll have to work that night.
 
When I was 7 I got a Gameboy color for Christmas (I went with my mom on Black Friday and picked it out) but couldn't use it for another month :(
 
I LOVE black friday. :p

For any newbies: www.black-friday.net

I started participating in it a few years ago and have loved it ever since. I usually only aim for one "big" deal and the rest are just smaller ones I don't mind if I miss or not.

This year I am sticking to the internet to see if any good computer/tv deals pop up since I need both. I have my fingers crossed on cyber power having an awesome deal for my new laptop...

Well im glad someone is interested in it. True, theres alot of people who do go nuts on Black Friday, which in my mind theyre idiots. There needs to be more security in the bigger name places like Walmart, for example. So far, when it comes to online shopping, nothing has seemed to catch my interest. There was a free cell phone from Best Buy, but my contract doesnt end yet. Ill have to wait 1 more year to upgrade my phone, which isnt that big of a deal. Like you Mecha Angel, my mom got me into participating in it a few years ago as well & definitely caught my attention ever since.
