Yeah, you don't want any Westinghouse electronics - especially TVs.

I posted this in the next gen console thread but i'll post here too. Walmart ~4 hours after opening. Not a PS4 in sight, but the guy told me he only sold two xbox ones since opening. Sorry xboner, you lost.

The mad stampedes get played up every year in the media but 99% of black Friday is just middle aged white people standing in line drinking coffee.

Never would've guessed it was the crazy black people who did all the shooting etc...

I looked through all the local ads for what was going on for black friday, nothing I seen would have me go out at 4am to shop. Plus all these deals are usually around all December long, so I dont feel like I am missing out on anything atm. A Big Lots around me was advertising those extra large recliners for just $189, then I remembered I can get one all year long for $200 on ebay. I do plan on buying a new 55"+ TV before Christmas though. All the places around me seemed to only have deals for 32-42" TVs, way to small for my living room.

PS+ is required for multiplayer on PS4, it's $50/year but on black friday it was $30 at almost every retailer. It's a bonus in that it carries across system and we get free games every month.

BTW the guy in that pic said in a few minutes he was going to start dancing to try to get people to buy the xbox, i didn't stick around.

Kind of disappointing this year. I really just want to see the animals out right attack each other. Pull some machetes and chainsaws out and just go for it. I think Black Fridays will always have an appeal but I would not be surprised to see the market decrease as more and more people become aware that it is just not worth all the trouble. The only reason it will not outright stop is because many of the people that go out, do it purely for the environment, not the sales.

Have to admit, if a terrorist really wanted to send a message, Black Friday would be an ideal time to do it. Surprised it has not happened yet. Mass amount of capitalist Americans stampeding into a store and suddenly...booom. Nobody even thinks to check people for weapons. They just open the doors and let this huge crowd of congested people run through.
