Well, that's where the fun began. My goal: a 46" Samsung 1080p LCD TV for $1299. Our second goal: a 19" Samsung LCD TV for my parents for $199. We showed up at Fry's around 3am only to see that the line was out the door and wrapped around the building. It was madness (but nothing like the lines at Circuit City or Best Buy). The doors opened at 5am, so were waiting outside for a couple hours. Once we got inside, we dashed over to the TV section and saw boxes and boxes of TVs on the floor so people can just go up and grab what they wanted. We looked everywhere and I couldn't find the one I wanted. They had passed out vouchers for several of the popular TVs to the people at the front of the line, so I just about gave up on the TV. Luckily the TV section was completely disorganized. These LCDs and plasmas come in such huge boxes that the entire area was packed full of people sliding their TVs all around. I decided not to give up just yet so I went to look through their inventory to find my TV. It was ridiculous...Samsung makes several models of 46" 1080p LCDs so I had to look for a LN-T4661, not a LN-T4669 or LN-T4671. Insanity. The good news is that I was successful and got the last one of three that the store had in stock. Whew! Even better news...Steph got lucky and found the 19" Samsung, too. What a successful adventure, of course that meant we had to wait in the 2 hour line to purchase our stuff. No big deal. :)
Now I can enjoy the fruits of my labor. Ahhhh.
Anyone else have a fun Black Friday?
