Seems Newegg is just as crazy as the stores. I've tried to get to the site half a dozen or more times this morning, got in once but couldn't navigate. Their servers must be overwhelmed. Will have to try again later.

will be neat to see if theres any web statistics about this...







Thanks HL and Corsair!

Yeah, me too...was just looking at hardware, though.

They do have several deals, listed in an email that mailed late yesterday.

There was a Walmart next to the gamestop I was at. I went over around 4:25 to take a peepee break and it was empty, I got back and looked over around 4:45 and it was packed with customers and cops. Everyone one going for a 32" Polaroid LCD that was $400. I guess no one told them Polaroid products suck.

Everyone I was in line with was really nice, except for the old guy behind me who got there later than all of us towards the front. He kept to himself, except you could hear him mumbling rude comments about everyone. Meh....grumpy old guy.

I couldn't have said it better. I went 1 time to a midnight sale and I'll never do anything like that again.

Which clearly shows you are the stroke of sanity.

My wife did that several years ago at a Toys R Us to get something for a grandchild. I have never done it. I never will do it. However, years ago before my brother-in-law passed away we would go shopping/bar hopping Christmas Eve. Hit a bar, hit a store and did it till we dropped. That was fun!
