If you want up-to-the-minute news on the after-Thanksgiving sales, check out Black Friday 2004. I went to Best Buy last year at 6:00 am, thinking in my naiveté that it would be empty and I could swoop in, get my stuff, and swoop out before the crowds rolled in. When I drove in and saw a line around the block, I suddenly realized what I was getting myself into. After I finally found a parking space, the line had just entered the building. After about twenty minutes of shopping, I got in line to pay. After another 55 minutes, I finally got up to the register. I went home with a bundle of cheap DVDs and an overdose of adrenaline. Hopefully they’ll have some good DVD deals this year.
