    Radio Shack wasn't supposed to be starting their sale until Friday and now all the dualshock 3 PS3 controllers are sold out online. Gotta go find it in store now.

    probably not. the BB deal has like what, 1 game and 1 movie? i bought the system from them less than 2 weeks ago. i will bring in the receipts tomorrow and give it a try see if i can get the deal too. if i get it, i will just sell them online.

    Yep. I just drove past 2 Best Buys on I-10 toward Katy and both had tents along the front. At least the weather is good for it this year.

    passed by the stores nearby in Pearland

    Best Buy had about 20 people in line

    Walmart apparently is still open so regular customers there, my guess, they are closing at 10 or 12am then reopen for the doorbusters

    Target had like 5 people waiting

    Circuit City has 2 people waiting

    It puzzles me why they are lines at all at the moment, most of the door busters you can get online at other online merchants, most with free shipping, or just pay the 10-15 bucks for the shipping, rather do that than spend 8+ hours outside, even though its not as cold as previous years

    I'm still debating to get that Blu Ray for $128 or just wait to get a better one, I'd rather get a Sony with the Bravia Sync since I have a 52 LCD Sony Bravia

    I pulled the trigger on the Sony after seeing this post:

    Great reviews. Only catch is it's backordered.

    It means each store will have a minimum of 16 to sell.

    My parents bought a 42" 720p from Wal-Mart for $499 once. And a 32" for $399. This was back in January. Don't know why they sold for that low. They just placed 5 or 10 boxes of TVs in front of the cash registers and people hardly noticed them. I should have told them to buy two 42s though.
