    There are some conflicting reports... some say 5 AM CST... others say 8 AM CST. I'll be up at 5 just in case.

    Got to Wal Mart just before 11pm before Black Friday and got in line for the toy section. Got TONS of great priced items including: 405pc LEGO sets for $15 each (got 4 of these), several electronic toys for 1yr old $8-15 each, Power Wheels type Disney quad $39 (somehow didn't get charged for this item!), Disney soft erase table/chair set $19, etc.

    Ran over to the movies/games line where they gave about 3 minutes per group of people to rummage through the titles. I got 10 kid/animated movies (all hour and half or so long) for $1.96 each. Excellent price for kid movies.

    Along the way, found eight of the thicker bath towels on sale from $7 down to $3.50 or so each. Got two of the Simmons Beautyrest Down pillows for $7 each. Found one of the last $19 8-page paper shredders. Several very decent quality sweaters and hoodies for my wife $4-7 each. Got a Rubbermaid tupperware 40pc set for $9.

    Overall, I'm very happy. I got a lot more than most others got (several parents were asking for one of my LEGO bins), this is probably the busiest Wal Mart in San Antonio (Vance Jackson). Didn't notice that the checker accidentally(?) VOIDED the Power Wheels quad after she rang it up until I got home and showed my wife the receipt. The lady at the door meticulously (or not) went through each item on my receipt before handing it back and saying, "Looks like you're perfect." This was BY FAR the biggest item in my cart, too! SHAME on those Wal Mart associates. GOOD for me.

    That's just the thing, nobody knows what else they are offering besides that. The info I got was from SD which retrieved it from Staples' FB page. On their FB page, it says

    Is now a good time to get a Blu-Ray player, or is it best to wait for the Christmas sales?

    It's showing it as you can order now but it's not changing the price when you check out.

    I'd like to find a TV even APPROACHING what Target had (40" 1080p $298). I couldn't care less about picture quality at that price. I'm sure it's passable. I've been hearing/reading that prices on TVs should drop even further in the next couple of months, however.

    Anyone have insight on this?

    That's because it hasn't started yet... Look at the post above yours for the time. That's when the price will change.

    Maybe the early risers will appreciate this.

    Happy hunting!

    a lot of those are the same deals from black friday, not bad since you don't have to wake up and be in the cold for the items.

    Don't think I'll be getting anything.

    I'm picking up an Armor Series (ethernet for local and internet connection) external HDD, 1GB for $50. Got a 1.5 wd yesterday, but this one is more of what I want.

    Love finding the clearance items.
