    He should be banned from commenting for that stupid post.


    Tomorrow will he have a "will it blend" sign?

    @BloggyMcBlogBlog: Clearly Gizmodo has a new policy of making posts about "First" commenters instead of banning them. New method of humiliation.

    That's a pretty damn shady looking store. Does he even know if they're going to have them in stock? I feel like the authorized resellers would be the last ones to get in on the Pre game.

    Waiting in line was something I seriously considered, then I realized to get the same or better TV I would only pay a couple hundred more no big deal.


    You know what the future is going to be though, everything will be online shopping and it will be who has the best connection. It'll be like college all over again getting up at 4AM because applying for classes starts at 5AM and you have your windows all open for the classes you are going to choose and at 4:58 you begin hitting refresh hoping that you got your classes. Yea it's going to be hitting refresh hoping you got your new big screen TV.

    those line here in the USA is nothing compare with the , lines of january first or second(I can't remenber) in Brazil.


    Is Basically the same deal as Black Friday, people staying in line for over a day is nothing uncommon.


    anyway the longest time I waited in line was 9 hours, It was to buy the new album of Pearl Jam and receive a tix for their Secret show in NYC. Which Happened at The Irving Plaza

    I'm not planning on waiting on any lines. Bullshit footage of people in lines is most of the reason I don't watch network news.


    Here's your Nightly News with Brian Williams for Friday, 48 hours ahead of time -


    Shot of TVs; shot of lines; money-counting machine; bar graph; pie chart; shot of cash registers; reporter in front of Macy's; shot of men's wallet open; shot of lines; Brian Williams thanking correspondent.

    How about none, it's called a turkey induced coma, and I don't plan on being out of it until kickoff or tipoff of a decent game. Let the crazy nonsensical winners of society fight and scrape for saving pennies.

    @pdditty: Yeah, I've just never felt that waiting in line, uncomfortably, was really ever worth it to save money. The last time I waited in line for hours was to buy an iPhone on release day... That I bought for someone else.

    I think it is the worst day to shop even with the discounts. I can't stand large crowds of people.
