Did you take advantage of any black friday videogame deals?

I got to Old Navy at 3AM, and picked out a little over $20 worth of clothes for my kid so I could get the free Lego Rock Band.

I went to Walmart at 5AM only to find out they hadn't closed at all going from Thanksgiving to Black Friday and starting offering their doorbusters at midnight. Most other Walmarts were doing a 5AM opening, but since I'm 20 minutes from the Walmart with the trampling last year, they were precautious. I missed out on getting NBA 2K10 for $25 and didn't get to see what all the other games on the sales list were. By the time I could figure out what was a sales game and what wasn't, since the employees were clueless, my choices for the 360 were Need for Speed Shift at $25, UFC Unleashed at $25, PGR4 at $10 and Godfather II at $10. I took everything but the Godfather. I wasn't too big into getting the game anyways and I found a final copy sitting in the toy aisle mixed in with the toys, so I gave it to some nice woman I was talking to earlier that didn't end up getting a copy of GTA IV for her son like she wanted. 

That was it for me. Old Navy was a pleasant experience. Walmart was a nightmare. I was out of Walmart in enough time to hit other doorbusters, but I just couldn't take it any longer.

Old navy really screwed me over. My family left the house a 2:30, got to old navy at 2:55 or something and they were just opening up. Got our 30$ worth of jeans, asked the funny sounding guy at the register if they were doing the lego rock band deal.

"yes we're doing it, but you have to have a ticket when you were standing in line."

".....what?"

"well we only got 50 of the games so we had to do that."

"oh well good, I know for sure there wasn't 50 people outsid-"

"Well, we only got 25 in"

"......."

 

 

 

It seriously pissed me off. I wanted to shoot up the place.

You didn't get clued in to everyone else lining up that maybe there was a point to it? The Lego Rock Band was the only doorbuster they had. What else would everyone else have been lining up for? I mean sorry you didn't get the game, but this seems more like a Black Friday rookie mistake on your part more than any fault of Old Navy. The armband thing was there to keep control and make sure they got to keep track of how many they could give away and for what platforms so people weren't caught off guard.
