Since a bunch of Wal-Marts are 24/7, I do wonder about the timing if they have super deals people want to line up for. Do you show up at midnight on Thanksgiving full of turkey or in the AM hehe...
I bet there will be some VERY good hard drive deals this year - I mean $79 for 200gb SATA @ Fry's for the last few weeks was a good deal. They have to beat that. I say well under $100 for 300GB+ drives will be common in several places. I'm hoping 500gb non-Hitachi drives get reasonable (sub $200) this year.  |
I work at Walmart, and yes, last year there was someone waiting in line for a tv at 11pm. Why would someone waste their night to get a tv about $20 cheaper than it nomally costs is beyond me.
Then there was the $25 dvd player, there were way too many people waiting for them.
