Black Friday thread

Post the deals you know and hear about.
Its a rumor about $100 Xbox 360 Arcade.

I love Black Friday, I got so much shit last year around this time.

You're fucking nuts if you'd go shopping on Black Friday. I hate crowds so I pretty much avoid everywhere that day. I used to work at Circuit City years ago and some lady little got trampled and broke her arm and ribs when we opened the door. Fucking animals.

I hate black friday's. I've yet to go shopping at one. I don't want to. I work at Wal Mart now and told them I'm not working Black Friday cause I'd get fired for fighting. I don't do too well in crowds. I get angry over the pushing and shoving. Plus some guy got killed in New York I think cause some people wanted $30 off a tv or game system.... fucking animals.

Fuck that, I stay away from stores as much as I possibly can on Black Friday. I dislike being in places like Wal-Mart even before you add in the mad crowd. If I want to go be in the middle of a bunch of random people pushing and shoving each other, I'll go see Lamb of God again instead of trying to save a couple bucks on an Xbox.

Ok im from the Uk. So im guessing black friday in America is a deal day at the shops?

Pssshh avoid deal cause you people get trampled and shit? No way I just roll in a large group with my friends who like me are 6 foot 2. So people tend to not bump into us and shit. =D

Besides, who wants to wait on line from the crack of dawn the day after stuffing your face all day and getting drunk and a 4 day weekend from work...FUCK THAT.

Do you guys have the same sales on Boxing Day?

 

[noumenon]

Boxing day?

 

[monkeystyle]

The day after Christmas?

 

[noumenon]

Oh, well yeah there's a lot of sales after Christmas... we don't really have a specific name for it though.
Actually... the few days after Christmas are usually more of a nightmare than before because everyone is at the stores returning shit they don't want.

 

[monkeystyle]

Apparently you guys don't recognize Boxing Day. It's a stat holiday here and yeah there are lots of returns but huge sales too. I guess that would be our black friday because our Thanksgiving was last month and we don't have anything special going on then.

(at the risk of sounding like an idiot) I had no idea they even did Thanksgiving in Canada. Same kind of deal? Stuff your face holiday with the actual meaning of discovering the country forgotten? lol

Yea you guys also celebrate a time when we raped and pillaged Native American's?

Yeah, it's always the second Monday in October instead of getting I assume the Thursday - Sunday off like you do we get Friday - Monday. And yeah it's an excuse to indulge in that wonderful deadly sin gluttony. Followed immediately by sloth (my personal favourite).

And in Canada Thanksgiving is supposed to be about giving thanks for a successful harvest. I guess by eating voraciously we do that but most Canadians don't even know where our version of Thanksgiving come from.
