    Bought 3 (last 3 in store, actually) of those 20" Acer monitors at Best Buy for $79.99 each. One for my mom, two my cousin paid me back for for his wife and kid. Best Buy was crowded, but not so crazy that it was really annoying or anything.

    I got two b/g/n (2.5ghz only) USB 2.0 dongles from newegg for ~$10/ea, they sold out shortly there-after. It was the only good deal I saw where I had an immediate use/need for the item on sale...

    I'm currently too poor to do much more than window shop. I was amazed at the prices on blu-ray players tho. BB had a store brand for $99.00 and a Samsung for $149.00. Might have to break down and get one. I did buy Casino Royale for $3.99. I think I can afford $4.00

    I slept in, stayed in jammies till afternoon, then went and did a little shopping (I am already 95% done). No lines or hassles to speak of. Still one big item to buy (a PC) and I am waiting for a cut throat deal before I give up the bucks for that one.

    I probably have the worst horror story yet - I had to wait 7 hours for a 32 inch tv, and then had to give it away because my mother's friend "hadn't had a tv in a year and needed it more than I did". My mother will pay for this.

    As far as I'm concerned, it's still going on. Steam's got another 2 1-day sales for Sunday and Monday.

    I tried buying the Acer netbook at Newegg for 189. I refreshed the page within 5 seconds of the new price being up, but the site was so slow that by the time I was choosing a payment method it was already removed from my cart due to being out of stock :-(

    I didn't buy anything, I'm still waiting for Christmas Eve.

    And in all honestly, It's not worth it to me to stand in line for four hours just to save a few hundred dollars. It's my four day weekend so I slept. For me, my savings was my patience.

    I didn't go to sleep at all. Left the house at 1:20am and arrived at the Crossgates Best Buy outside of Albany at 1:30. Went to the back of a tremendously long line, which inevitably got longer. At around 3am everyone started bum rushing to the front. The store manager made everyone go back till it was single file again, which they succeeded in doing. Doors opened at 5am and I was out by 5:30.

    I picked up a Blu-Ray player for my parents, a GPS with live traffic updates for my brother, and a couple of DVDs and a 500GB portable HDD for myself. Then I walked into the mall, found the Radio Shack, and picked up a PS3 Dualshock 3 for $30.

    All in all not a bad Black Friday.

    I worked Black Friday, from 3 am to 2 pm, and I liked it. It was fun. The thing about the holiday shopping season is that people are more than likely shopping for a gift, not for themselves. I was thankful for the job, and wishing that amidst the madness and bedlam there would be enough cash generated as to help the economy. Then, some unfortunate people might be better off with jobs of their own in the near future. That thought keeps me smiling when frustrated, impatient, and untrusting customers grouse at me.

    I personally was disappointed with black friday this year. Newegg really let me down and so did best buy. The deals were so much better last year.

    @wakebordr: Overall yeah, it was disappointing, at least in the high end tech gear area, but that did keep me on track and I finished all my christmas shopping instead.
