Buying a Flat Screen on Black Friday?

I;m curious if anyone can share their experience purchasing flat screens or any other
expensive electronics at stores like: Best Buy, Cirucuit City, etc. on black friday?

Since I have to wait until close to year's end i'm wondering if it's worth the hassle.

I appreciate it.

Best Buy would be a living hell. My Best Buy has a front and a back entrance...they had to lock one just so they could form a line that almost wrapped around the entire shopping center.

My advice is go somewhere smaller. I picked up mine at a PC Richards, I waited maybe an hour...I only got there 30 minutes before open. It was the exact same TV I had picked up at Best Buy.

Plus sometimes they have limited amounts. And if you want the front page flyer ad...Even if you're at near the front of the line, maybe the front 50, they will only have a set number of them in stock. It's almost a gaurantee that 90% of people there want that front page item. Try and go somewhere smaller, and keep an eye on the fine print to see how many they will have in stock. Good luck.

Yeah, there will DEFINITLEY be a long line, but it is worth the wait. A friend of mine got a 42" 1080P LCD for $800. regular price was like $1800. From Wal-Mart though. (Polaroid)

nice deal but what does any one expect by 09 you cant use the old tvs so im sure the prices are gonna drop big time then ,

but ya there will be lines, any where you go ,, thats why i got all my big stuff already , for now that is

Usually you can get the same deals online, if you wake up early and go to the store's website on Black Friday. It beats wating in line.daviwinn
