Just woke up. Got most of what I wanted this morning, but Best Buy had this stupid system where they divided people up into 3 different lines according to what they wanted to get. You were supposed to go through one line for TV's, another for computer related items and yet another for other stuff. I pitched a fit. I told them I wasn't about to go back outside and wait in a line 450 people long (actual count) when I had already been in line since 10:00 P.M. the night before. Anyway one of the employees went over and got the items I wanted. What a pain in the arse. That's a broken system if there ever was one.

There were a bunch of people trying to cut in line at the last minute and either the best buy employees or the cop told them to go to the back of the line or get off the property.

All of the low cost computers & laptops were gone before they got to me. I was about #93 in line. They came up with a couple of substitutes but the idiots started handing out the tickets at the beginning of the line instead of starting where they ran out of the advertised deals.

Anyway, I got the following:
1 Westinghouse 32" LCD TV for $480
1 Samsung 19" wide screen LCD monitor for $130
1 Sandisk 1 GB MP3 player for $35
2 Canon MP160 printer/scanner/copiers for $20 each
2 100-packs of 16x Dynex DVD-R made in China

Almost left the Dynex at the cash register since they were made in China. Read a few of the posts here and they were stating MCC dye so I just opened up a pack and sure enough MCC so I guess I'll keep 'em. They smell great! The font on the top of the cake box is sans serif. There is a small recycle triangle and no other markings. The foam spacers were small round ones and the base of the cake box is slightly ribbed (for her pleasure!). On the hub are the numbers 722M and on the opposite side is DVD-R.
