    i think you can make a profit just buying it now and selling it later

    i'm just not the sort to wait outside the shop though :)

    I agree. There's also a 1 or 2 item per household limit on these deals so you couldn't profit too much.

    It was a very limited time sale, most things were bought within the half hour point, sold out on the dealbreakers within the hour.

    I was thinking of grabbing the 500gb SATA2 HD, but decided against it :p
