Re: Black Friday deals?
I went to Walmart at 6:00am looking for 6 items, 4 of which weren't even part of the 6 hour sale, and they were still sold out. I also wanted that $10 guitar from Toys 'R' Us, but that was gone too. So I didn't get jack.
It was actually weird this year, because the shopping mindset had completely changed. With the exception of Walmart, no stores around town was really busy that early. It was the slowest Black Friday morning for a number of retailers around town. Toys 'R' Us had short lines. Meijer's parking lot was practically empty. My sister-in-law called and said the mall and Kohl's was quick to get in and out. Going into work at 11am at Best Buy, we thought we were screwed budged-wise. But then suddenly around 2pm, people just started showing up. We actually had more traffic by 3pm than we did all morning. It was as everybody wanted to go shopping, but didn't want to wait in line, so they left in the afternoon instead. And because of that, the biggest crowd came in the afternoon from the same people trying to avoid the crowd. Really bizarre Black Friday.

Re: Black Friday deals?
I got Left 4 Dead for the 360 for $50. I really only went just to see what it was like. I never expected to see large crowds around all 3 entrances to Yonkers at 4am and a pretty large line at Toys R Us that long before they opened. I went into Toys R Us around 9am and the line twisted and turned all the way aroudn the store, it had to have been at least a two hour wait to get to checkout. I dont think I am ever going to try fighting those crowds for whatever sales they were waiting for.

Got a TMobile G1 for 99$ at Navarro (a South Florida local drug store/grocery store chain, it's basically spanish cvs/walgreens/eckards). Called up tmobile first to see wtf but apparently the store was taking a huge loss on each one just to get people in there.
Only place I went on black friday, sauntered in at noon. Good day.

Re: Black Friday deals?
We didn't really get any major Black Friday deals this year, other than some practical stuff like clothes, etc. for about 85% off.
