Dragon Age: $35 at Best Buy. Went at 8 p.m. Plenty left. No lines. $$$

I almost went HD this year. But I’ll wait. I don’t want to buy the TV, then buy the cords for the 360 and Playstation, then buy a sound system. It’s too much for me right this second. Next year.
Oh for other people? Why would I buy for others.

Why brave the lines at an actual store when you get simply wake up in your pajamas and buy it online that morning instead. I got all my Best Buy deals online this Black Friday, then hopped back in bed and got some good sleep.

The girl in the gray sweater is kind of hot.
I guess my reasoning for not going to a Black Friday sale is because I don’t want to spend my day fighting people for a $10 DVD. I like your style Shawn.

Went late, didn’t have to wait very long, managed to grab: STALKER, BIOSHOCK, Assassin’s Creed 2, and Farcry 2 (all PC + all $4.99).
