I went Black Friday shopping yesterday. I went to the mall at 12:00 a.m and I got home at 7:00. My feet hurts like hell!!! But I was worth it. I did all of my Christmas shopping so I'm prepared. I was wondering if there are good/bad events that occurred. Also if you went, what did you purchase?

Hooves · 2012-11-23, 16:07

Would be nice to name this thread "Black Friday" for general Black Friday shopping in the coming years. Well, I made plans to buy a Xbox 360 for the sales, luckily people bought them beforehand in the previous years.

Xellos-_^ · 2012-11-23, 16:17

not quite black Friday sale but i just purchase a PS Vita 32gb memory card at amazon and got $30 dollars off.

the discount came form back in Sept when Amazon wireless mess up my purchase. I totally forgot about it.

Xefi · 2012-11-23, 16:47

^ nice. got yourself a good deal there even though it's not Black Friday discount, but it's still
very good deal. ^ ^

anyways, i bought myself another Vita (assassin bundle, white vita!) just now. thanks to Xellos for mentioning
about that sales on amazon. i'm waiting for more good sales. hopefully i can get
a 3ds xl as well for cheap. i only see them going for $175 @ target. if they're
around $150, i'll buy instantly!

that and waiting for Borderland 2 to go on sales on Steam as well. hoping to get
that game around $25. and wwe 13' for $25 if i see them available. i'll be on the lookout
and lurking around for some more deals!

Kyuu · 2012-11-23, 16:47

I am not in the market to be buying anything anyways.

willx · 2012-11-23, 17:52

So, I pulled the trigger on a "door crasher" on the dell.ca website:

24" monitor for $149 (http://accessories.dell.com/sna/prod...1&sku=320-9334)

Might get myself into trouble with some additional online shopping.. I know the fiance has also been eyeing a couple of pairs of shoes.. With all the price matching and killer deals, this could get expensive this year ..

Outlook remains uncertain

I just bought some discounted accessories for my HTC 8X and my mom's iPhone 4 as well as a Microsoft Comfort mouse while I was at it, oh, and some clothes and AA batteries. I think that'll be it for me this year.

Lost Cause · 2012-11-23, 18:48

Started a 6am, hit three stores by 9 then stopped for breakfast at a local waffle house, then 4 more stores and back home with fish fit dinner at 4pm. Damn I'm tired!
Items purchased; new microwave ($120), new coffee maker ($20), several clothes for the whole family ($100), the most recent release of God of War for a PS3 ($65), several stuffed animals ($35) and one new monitor ($75).
I guess since the stores opened yesterday and last night all the crazy shoppers were done by the time I started, as it wasn't all that crowded nor were there any incidents.
Still might do some online shopping but first I have to reconcile the back account!@~@!

james0246 · 2012-11-23, 20:01

I got some nice pants at American Apparel and another at J. Crew, a great scarf at The Loft, and a really good jacket at The Gap (I know...). Saved a little over a 100 dollars and only had to wait in line for 10 or so minutes (for clothing). Then I went to Best Buy and wasted 40 minutes on some games and Blu-Rays. Only saved 60 or so dollars. Still, good haul and I only had to get up by 6:00 am.

Went to Frys in Renton, Washington (this makes 14 different Frys that I've been to. Unfortunately, this one was themeless) and bought a wireless router for Mrs. ES. Other than that, we just got some Kindergarten age activity stuff for my loli daughter.

I dumped everything in my trading account. Wish I had real money.

Hiroi Sekai · 2012-11-24, 00:30

Pumped about 2 grand into my first actual souped-up computer. Amazon's been crazy good with shipping already.

Hey you can't just say that and leave, list them parts pronto!

Mr. DJ · 2012-11-24, 04:21

so mad...was hoping I would get paid early this week because of Thanksgiving so I could do some Black Friday shopping. Was gonna pay off my 250gig XBOX 360 at GameStop, doing so would have netted me Black Ops 2 in addition with Skyrim and Forza. Considering I have Black Ops 2 for PS3...was gonna keep Skyrim and trade in the other two for credit towards Halo 4

kyp275 · 2012-11-24, 08:02

not bad at all, should keep your gaming needs covered for quite awhile

Kirarakim · 2012-11-24, 09:51

The only thing I tried to get was a camera from one of Amazon's lightning deals (a Panasonic Lumix). It sold out in a second. In that time I was 350 on the wait list.

I said screw it I bought the camera at regular price. Well it was about $10 cheaper so I guess I got a bit of a deal on it. I really needed the camera though and it was an acceptable price for me.

I realize with sales I never get what I need from them and all they do is tempt me to buy things I wasn't planning to buy in the first place. So far this year I've been good though.

Whoa. Nice!

As for me, nothing to really speak of - no shopping for myself or such.

Kirarakim · 2012-11-24, 11:06

Okay I take it back about not ordering anything I finally caved into the B&N Criterion sale because they had an extra 30% off (it was already 50% off) today and got this:

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dvd-...n=715515097215

Besides collecting anime related stuff, Criterion is my other passion. Although this is my first Eclipse set. Jean Gremillion is a little known French director in the US. I first saw one of his films on TCM last year and was absolutely amazed (included in this set) so I wanted to see more of his films.
