People will spend all night camped out in line at an electronics store for the CHANCE of saving a few hundred bucks on a laptop, etc. Isn't people's time worth something? This sounds insane to me. What say you?

Yeah.Pushing down someones Grandma to get a so-called deal,it's really in the Christmas spirit,isnt it?
The savings that you are supposed to get are not worth it.Stores put 2or 3 items on sale to encourage you to go there,hoping you will spend more on other things.Very limited quantities too.
Of course there are those who WOULD brag"I had to beat up an old lady,Billy,to get this for you". And Billys who would think"COOL!".
Sick it is.

Even though this year, best buy has a laptop for 200-245 bucks its a tremendous amount of savings, but if look at the details on it, its only a celeron, and celeron's are a piece of trash! I had 2 of them and well they went bad in less than a year.
Personally, I don't wish to wait in line all night for some savings, and a lot of the stuff like a hdtv may be good for the price, but as in this year I can still get a good deal on a hdtv without standing out in line all night long. People will do anything just to think they are getting the better deal.

Because they are IDIOTS! and when they get in the doors, they start pushing, fighting, and ruin the true spirit of the season.
only to save a couple of bucks.
I hate Christmas time, cant even go buy groceries with out huge line, ppl fussing over who has what, and ppl going into BIGtime dept just to satisfy a relative that they talk about all year long and only see once a yr.
stupid and sicking!

I think its funny to watch video of doors opening and people falling down and getting trampled and starting fights. What a bunch of idiots.
I think alot of them try to resell on EBAY. Like the Wii game system selling for 500.00USD, but selling on EBAY for up to 10000USD.

To save money or get item in short supply. I only did it once, never again. It can get crazy and violent.

Perhaps they need to get a life.....and they don't know it.
Anyway, who cares...I can get most anything online!
