    We have a game plan and my brother is camping out at CC tonight...Some friends and I split stores so we can get some stuff...But we're not camping out...

    We tried to buy some stuff on-line, but most of the stuff isn't available on-line...We you do a store locate for the Sharp TV, it shows all the store in Dallas don't have them "Out of Stock"...i though that was false advertising..Shouldn't they have at least one?

    Good luck to everyone...

    The Best Buy next to me in Sugar Land already has a line around the building :eek:

    It might just be me, but the BB ad sucks this year, so I don't understand why the line. I think some people just want a reason to camp out..

    I'll be shopping on amazon.com from the comfort of my couch in two hours, then I'll go to sleep and wake up at 11am and enjoy my day of staying-at-home.

    They might have opted for a temporary disconnect to prevent people from reserving - buying online. It might be easier to just zero out the inventory numbers instead of letting you go through the order process and then either refusing your purchase because it was before the listed opening time (B&M) or citing that you must be in the B&M to do the purchase. Eventually they will have to physically count and reset their inventory numbers, but as long as it is kept to a small list of items (Door Busters), it wouldn't be difficult to do.

    If the store starts with 20 on display and has to pull 15 of those because the online shoppers have bought - reserved them before the doors open, it impacts their labor and productivity situation. If the Ad states that they will have 20 per store (B&M) and online shoppers are able to reserve - buy all of them beforehand, then it could be an ugly scene in the B&M when none of the Door Buster items are even available for sale when the doors open.

    So you guys think if I borrow my friend's electric wheelchair I can cruise myself to the front of the line. I'm thinking I could score me a sweet plasma tv even though I just arrived five minutes before the store opening time. If you don't allow me to get to the front of the store in my wheelchair, I'll accuse you of being racist.
