    Black Friday & Cyber Monday 2010

    Ads and circulars are leaking out and it looks like some pretty good deals are out there - like usual. Here's a good site that has posted some ads already.

    Hopefully retailers like Best Buy have the most of the same deals online again. I think Amazon is usually pretty good at matching things as well.

    If Best Buy does the same deals online again, I may go for Need For Speed Hot Pursuit for $35.

    If those deals are available through BestBuy.com, I might be inclined to jump on two of those games, simply to get them at great prices.

    Otherwise I'll just wait for Amazon's Cyber Monday.

    For some reason, I've liked getting up with crowd's in the mornings the last couple of years I've done it. Last year was a bit disappointing, but I'm hoping this year will make up for it.

    Last year they were. I caught up on my Rescue Me collection I remember. I wanna think Need For Speed Shift was on sale for Black Friday last year too...which I got online.

    DC + Black Friday is not pretty. I can't imagine DFW is much better though.

    In the deep part of DFW it's crazy, but in the outer areas it's not as bad. Wal-mart in Oak Cliff last year had a lot of cops in it to make sure nothing happened.

    Well, I didn't mean crazy in that regard. I don't get up early enough to see any of that. I just mean it takes 3x as long to get from Point A to Point B. It's like a permanent rush hour, even in the 'burbs.

    It seems like some places are opening their doors earlier and earlier it's going to eventually be a bunch of drunks coming from the bars at least in Lincoln....there's usually a decent crowd on Thanksgiving night.

    The hardest part where I'm at is just getting a parking spot.

    Parking's tough, of course, but you also have significantly more volume than the roads are designed to handle during the day. Of course, all the major roads into and out and of the city are designed for heavy traffic, but not the shopping districts. We have one stretch between a major outdoor shopping center (including Best Buy, Target, Wal Mart, Sam's Club, etc) and an area mall. Normally it's a 5 minute drive or so between the two. When I went out for Black Friday one year, in the late afternoon, it was a 30 minute or so drive between the two, just because of the lights and traffic.

    I think because I have so many games to catch up on, nothing really stands out to me. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit for $35 and maybe Fable 3 for $35, but I need to finish Fable 2 yet and I haven't played NFS Shift since I had to reformat my hard drive....
