    I ended up with the Staples Acer 3613 for $450. Close by, no wait, no hassles, no rebates,14 day return policy. Nice clear screen, slightly tinny sound on the speakers. Celeron 1.5, 15 in.,40 gb 5400,256mb. Excellent wifi, very quiet fan. :budget:

    score! $450 is cheaper than many a PDA. Those $399 deals you'd have to of gotten into a boxing match for, I'd pay an extra $50 to avoid that hassle, so you did well!

    Got nothing because it was too cold to stand in line. I gave up after 30 minutes.

    Good thing i left early because my friends that didnt, they got screwed by worstbuy and the ticket giver didn't give them any love or laptop tickets.

    and on news there was funny video of shoppers during blackfriday some lady fell on the floor and dropped her wig lol, things are getting more and more out of hand as the years goes by.

    I considered going to pick one up for my mother inlaw for Christmas. But I figured there would only be perhaps 20 at each store and the odds were I wouldn't get one.

    I can only imagine how many people came home empty handed and how that must have felt. I know I'd remember that a lot longer than the $200 savings.
