About to leave... 5:00 am to Best Buy. I don't care if I don't get what I want, just the chance at that $500 is worth waiting around for an hour (for me, in my circumstances). My item is likely to go on sale somewhere else at another time, so no big deal!

Ah... well it's worth trying but I'm sure there's one hell of a line up already.
I was looking for some speakers but I don't see any deals.. :(

I've been up since 2am, couldn't go back to sleep. Not lining up. I realized I could order my stuff online.

Lining up at Future Shop, I need those 16GB SDHC cards (not in the flyer; Duracell class 10 for $30). Line at Eglinton&Warden: around the building.

Also going to Walmart for camcorder afterwards.

Thought about lining up for the $500 draw but it's about -18 with the wind chill here and there isn't much of anything I need at 6 AM other than warmth. :(

Hmmmmm.. okay I guess I won't be lining up then! :lol:

I could probably go.. but I think I'll get my extra sleep than to save a few bucks~!

The stuff I want normally is never on-sale on boxing day! I'll end up going to futureshop around the afternoon, and if they still have that duracell sdhc then I'll pick one up for my netbook :)

-13 is bearable for a while if you can get some shelter from others in line. -18 is really cutting it thin in terms of warmth for standing around. You need layers and really good gloves and boots. :-P

I lined up at Best Buy at 6 am. Got in around 6:45... found out that the ONE item I wanted was sold out. FML .... had to wait in the cold too...
So all I bought today was a McDonald's breakfast. I'm pissed.

hahaha i seen the CP24 footage of those lining up through the night. Most on the camera seemed like Asian kids in their Canada Goose jackets. I guess they really do need them in southern Ontario once in a while. :lol:
