My stepson and I got to the BestBuy here at about 6:50. The same crowd, snaking around the building, was waiting for the gates to open.
We got in and I made a bee-line to the 'puter section and snatched one of the Acer CD-R/Ws from the cart as it came into the area. The cart held about 20. Hmmm....
The poor guy at "the case" asked "Who wants memory?" (It has to be "walked to the front"). Somebody in the back stage-whispered "Everybody raise both hands!" So we did.
My stepson, in the meantime, grabbed the stereo system he wanted and the DVDs (all except one) he wanted and we got in line.
We each said "They walked a 128MB stick of memory to the front for me." We got the last two. Same price (after the [non-delivering?] mail-in rebate) as Crucial, but it's in the box frying away right now.
We got in and out in under an hour. Before the fist fights broke out.
The deals? They were OK. Nothing to write home about. But my stepson learned the "Never again!!!" lesson his first trip. Said it reminded him too much of the lines on the base. So it wasn't a complete waste....
