@Zenfoldor: some stores, like Toys 'R Us, actually do have rules in place. They only allowed a certain number of people in at a time for a limited time at the ones in NYC. Not that this would have made a difference. Check the story again, it says that the crowd broke in before the store had even opened. That's why I avoid stores at all cost on this day.
OT: My only experience happened online. I saw a really good deal for a 10 megapixel digital camera. It was to go on sale earlier today at 12am. I kept refreshing the page, waiting for it to change from 'sale on Nov. 28th' to 'Purchase Now'. I am sad to say, that after like 10 refreshes, it said 'Sold out online'. I was like wtf? When? How? Lol. So yeah, no camera for me.
