    With good deals popping up more and more online each year, I don't think it's necessary to wait in long lines and buy anything locally anymore. I wouldn't say it's a HOT deal, but I think I did pretty good by picking up a 42" Panasonic VIERA X1 Series 720p Plasma TV. It was $564 + tax at Dell, but with 20% Bing cashback, it comes out to $497.

    I know for around the same price you can get a 40" Samsung 1080p LCD TV. But I did as much research as I could and I went with the Plasma. Hope I made the right choice!

    EDIT: Oh, and be sure to watch the fatwallet and slickdeals forums like a hawk! Amazing TV deals come up, with some of them selling out in minutes.

    Got to Target at 3:30am today. There was at least 100+ people in front of me then. As time neared 5am, the line was ridiculously long. Had to be at least 1000 people. Scored the Westinghouse & 1TB hard drive. It only took 10 minutes for Target. I then headed straight for BestBuy, got all the games I wanted (L4D2, Fallout 3, & RE5). Then Gamestop was next, but nothing I wanted. Lastly, I hit up Baybrook Mall at 6ish where there weren't that many people. Got some free stuff there. All in all, a very good black friday.

    What Target did you go to?

    I got to Super Target near Reliant at about 4:55. There was a line (not too long), but I got into the store at about 5:02.
