I don't even understand how anyone could even *think* of attending Black Friday. Getting up that early and fighting all those crowds...especially if you have a condition that makes you hate noise and bright lights...wow! I mean, why would you even think of doing that?!

I don't know, maybe if you were with a good friend and you were doing it in an ironic/goofy way...

They are both pure materialistic evil. Just buy high quality electronics you can repair yourself or that crap isn't worth your money.

I suspect that only works if you know how to repair electronics.

There are piles of recyclable electronics all over the world to try to fix anyway, overspending on the new stuff is overuse of all the materials needed to build this stuff. Black Friday really scares me as a geek I must say.

Well I got a used Xbox one X, because it was cheaper and seemed silly to get a brand new one when there are perfectly good used and refurbished ones for sale. As for black friday it is really wasteful, so that's just another reason to hate it aside from the craziness and chaos it entails.

I already bought some PJs at 2/3 off on Thursday!
Just got back from Target. Bought an electric toothbrush for $15 less than if I had bought it earlier this week from Amazon.
