What did you get on Black Friday? (or black weekend :P)

[DEATHMASTER]

I got a headset for $10, Unreal Tournament 3. OH and best of all a sold out 42" Plasma TV for $899, sooooo lucky because the ONE worker was the best guy ever and everyone else was just supposed to say "we're sold out" (and so his manager told him this blatantly in front of us at the checkout). But he still let us make a rein check for it and we'll pick it up the 27th. Haha to the paper that clearly says no rein checks, and everyone else getting the $1399 sh17 in line with us. 2 pm > waiting in line at midnight.

[Potatowned]

I worked at Best Buy for 12 hours on black friday. We weren't allowed to purchase anything until after 2 P.M.

I'm tired and the stupid 8800 GT's are all back ordered.

They call it Black Friday because this is supposedly the day where retailers earn back all the money they lost, hence out of the red and into the "black".


As for me, I got a 32-inch Sony XBR HDTV. I watched the LSU football game on it.

Yes - it's also considered the first official shopping day for Christmas. They basically slash the **** out of prices on a whole load of a shit, a bunch of crazies come out really early in the morning, destroy the store, and the store makes bukoo bucks.

I didn't get it on Friday, but I ordered that Acer monitor I posted in the Hardware discussion board. Also when my shift ends today I might get Mario Galaxy. Should only run me $45 with my employee discount.

 

[phantomdesign]

I bought some food & some pain relievers!

If I hadn't lost my job last month (found a new one already, but broke at the moment) I might have considered getting a 50" 1808p TV.

 

[Zeus]

Nothing, the stores were all mobbed and highways filled with traffic from people going shopping and going back home after Thanksgiving so I didn't even bother to go out. (I already bought everything I wanted online anyway)

 

[huntingbear]

a Kenmore clothes washer...mine broke 2 weeks ago and I hate laundry mats

 

[Kyorisu]

May as well be a what shit you bought thread. Anyways I got a Wii.

 

[cjohnson]

i didn't happen over here

 

[Raziaar]

It's still a stupid name. Look at wikipedia under all the other things termed Black Friday. Those are things that deserve the name.

I do think it's interesting that you appear to have a national holiday based entirely on shopping.

insert misanthropic comment about commercialisation of christmas/easter

I got a 2GB SD card for $15 (usually $45), so I'm pretty happy. I don't know why everyone looks at Black Friday which such disgust. Sure, it's hectic and there's people everywhere... so what, you're saving $500 on a TV, shut the **** up. I found the experience quite fine... and no, I wasn't "lucky" as I went shopping on Black Friday in the 3rd most dangerous place in America.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

ah, I actually got a 2gb SD for $7 (circuit city).
Apparently my uni is in the 12th most dangerous XD

 

[Krynn72]

I live in the 25th. Ive lived here for two years, and so far 5 people have been murdered in just my apartment complex WOOT.

Also, I wish my camera could use a 2gb sd card. I had to settle for a highspeed 1 gig instead. Which is good, because I hardly ever take 2 gigs worth of pictures.

 

[Qonfused]

I do admit a 2GB SD card is obscene, but I lost my previous one; plus, it's always nice to know you can save 700+ pictures to a 1inx1in piece of plastic.

 

[Ennui]

i got clothes
