Yeah, that's a no brainer, but I'm pretty sure you can't have any fun unless somebody gets trampled to death, right? At least that's how I feel about it.

I "Case" the stores on Wednesday, many are setting up the bins where the bargains will be, so I know where to "Strike" when I get there. I drive in on a Moter Scooter, so Parking is not an issue. The Target I go to is only 1/4 mile from the Best Buy. Bear in mind all times are approximate. By 7:00 am I am usually Finished!:banana:

Every year I am consistently reminded of the last words Jack Hawkins speaks in THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI.

Check that. Perhaps I mean every day.:helpme:

How exactly do "doorbusters" work, I've never really gone out on Black Friday, never really anything I wanted. Is there a time frame here?

If you call them a few days ahead, they'll probably match breakfast in your kitchen for you (and ship it free).

My plan is similar to yours except I'll probably go out shortly after 5 A.M. to rifle through the pockets of those who got trampled when the doors got busted down.

I like to think of it as my "Thanksgiving Bonus".

Oh, that's easy. The people who don't punch each other out or get trampled to death busting through the doors get some seriously sweet deals.

And, if they choose their stores wisely, they get to treated to lots and lots of this:

Making a nice wholesome breakfast at home with the whole family the day after T-day would be preferable to eating at IHOP or Dennys. BF is crazy. Like people die crazy. I'm happy Amazon has their customers' backs, protecting them from the choleric zombie morons at Wal-Mart or Best Buy the morning of black friday. And I'm not kidding. The bum rushes on black friday are truly a display of how sad life can be in a developed country. People fighting each other for a good deal? No thanks.

:lol: You guys are hilarious!

Amazon probably would match my breakfast, but I end up with 50 slices of toast, 30 bowls of cereal, and three pounds of scrambled eggs made from powder.

Varies, depending on the store, but it's listed in the advertisement. Usually it's till about 11 AM or noon-ish. Also, doorbusters are often limited in quantity.

The $9 Blu-Rays shown in the Meijer ad were:

Casino
Casino Royale
Commando
Courage Under Fire
Dawn of the Dead
Die Another Day
Eastern Promises
From Russia With Love
Ghost Rider
Hoosiers
In the Name of the King
Kiss of the Dragon

The fine print says "24 to choose from" even though 25 are pictured!

While at least 132 last per store.
No rain checks or substitutions.
Limit 5 (no idea if that means limit 5 of each title or 5 titles total; I assume the latter)

Damn, I'd be all over Eastern Promises if I still lived near a Meijer.

4:00 AM - JC Penney - Get the Snowglobe they give away each year

5:00 AM - Best Buy - Season 12 of The Simpsons, Season 8 of Smallville, Monsters Vs Aliens

5:30 AM - Target - Season 4 of House, Up

Finish with the Free Breakfast at Sam's Club.

Can I come with you? It sounds like we're doing the exact same things...

Do they match the doorbusters prices, too? If so, I'll do that to avoid Best Buy. But I still have to go to Target to get their exclusives...

Can we please keep this thread to Blu-ray's only? I had to check the ad to verify that these are all DVD's.

OP has Walmart with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince bluray for $10. It is not scheduled for release until Dec. 8th. Is this a Walmart exclusive early release or a mistake ??

A new entity bought the name. It's not the same company. So technically they're not still in business.

Does anyone have word whether Walmart will pricematch other stores' ads on Black Friday?

They've done it each of the prior years, but I get worried one day they'll stop since pretty much every other store refuses to pricematch other stores that day. If they don't, then I won't be getting any of the Best Buy deals since I won't go there on BF... I've heard too many horror stories of multi-hour lines there to try, whereas I can usually get "rung up" at Walmart within 15 minutes.
