Good luck with that. They'll probably have about 5 of them in the store.

That's why I don't bother with Black Friday sales, there are usually only a handful of the items available for the good sales and you have to kick, hack, and trample your way to the front of the crowd to get them.

I'd rather sleep in and experience all the reports of "unfortunate and unexpected" crowd injuries via the news.

Not necessarily, last year Wal Mart had a similar sale going on and they had about 40-50 of them stacked up in the aisle, the key is to get there way early, position yourself where they are (don't move at all costs) and when they give the go ahead haul ass and grab one lol.

Joe, if you can spare an additional $21 you can get a much better Blu Ray player at Best Buy, the Insignia NS-L4Q120-1GA. This one has Netflix streaming and is internet ready, unlike the Magnavox.

In my modest three years of BF shopping, I've always gotten what I wanted, though sometimes it was the last available. So while I've never tried to get the $99 60" Plasma :) I've found many other deals worthwhile and available.

My Wal-Mart has 2 or 3 pallets full of the $78 Blu-Ray's - hopefully your's will as well. I personally want to get a PS3, but I'm not sure how many there are.

I went shopping on Black Friday but I did it online...Amazon.com had some pretty good deals on Garmin nuvi GPSs... Although I didn't really get online early, I got a nuvi 285WT for like $130 shipped.
