Not sure because I've never done it before, but I think that they have Best Buy employees come out and ask you what you're waiting in line for and then they hand you a slip with a number on it to ensure you receive the goods you're waiting for.

Ahhh, OK. I've always wondered that every year because when we visit my in-laws in Orlando for Thanksgiving, people are camped there 3 days before Black Friday and I'm like, "What's keeping me from showing up when the store opens?"

Pssh 3 days? I just read an article about people waiting in line 9 days before Black Friday to get into Best Buy.

Well, looks like Cyber Monday was a success. $1.25B spent in US on-line- single biggest on-line day in US history. Wow.

Study: Cyber Monday was biggest online shopping day ever in U.S. - CNN.com

Anybody find any Cyber Monday deals that were better than Black Friday deals? I didn't even do any shopping on CM, but I did mostly online shopping on BF. The ads I saw for CM deals weren't that great imo.
