Best Buy's website bit the dust on the busiest shopping day of the year. The site was inaccessible for hours until finally coming back online after the rush subsided. That had to suck.

What? They forgot to mark up the prices and call it on sale?
Yup; pretty much nothing was discounted. I saw tons of products at the same price they were advertised as a few weeks ago "on sale".
"Black Friday" is a joke. There were better sales last week. LG swaps their IPS panels out of their TVs in time for BF. Lots of manufactures save their junk for BF

What? I have never heard this, and many of their TV's are CLEARLY MARKETED as having IPS Panels which would be outright false advertisement and fraud in many states. I can't see they risking a potential mulch-billion dollar fine from the FTC not to mention the 100000's of class action suits that the Lawyer Leaches would drag out in force.

sorry, but there were quite a few deals to be had. gps's were $70 off, new release movies were $10. older movies were $3. games were on sale, xbox one bundle for $330, 50" Panasonic for $199.99, 50" 4k samsung for $850, dyson vacuums $180 off, and thats just off the top of my head.
in terms of number of people, our line was 3 blocks long Thursday evening and 2 blocks long friday morning. we were packed all day (including at 1am) both days.
I dont understand why so many people are against brick and mortar stores. yes i can click a button on my phone and have something shipped from amazon. but it will take two days to get it. why not bring your phone to a store show the price and get the item that day?
