The deals went live online at midnight, and some stores opened their doors today. 

I was able to get just about everything on my list yesterday/earlier today online. All that's missing is Tales of Xillia and PS+.

I also plan on getting PS+ to extend my membership

Big lines and chaos. All for...

anybody else ??

its still thursday

I also picked up a 3DS Zelda bundle and no joke I saw about 45 - 50 3DS's snagged in about 5 minutes. The Wii U's were gone within 10 minutes too. (I live in Tampa). It only looked like 2 or 3 Xboxes and PS3's were taken off the pallet and most of those games were sitting there at about 8:40. I also so people grabbing regular price Wii U games like they were on sale or something which is usually the case when people get a deal on a console. Maybe Nintendo's heavy marketing campaign the last 2 weeks will actually pay off. With X1 and PS4 sold out til 2014, the Wii U is the only other console that makes sense. I honestly thought the 360 and PS3 bundles were really lame anyways. I'm just thrilled that the Zelda bundle rang up at $149.

By the way after reading some stuff online and seeing some posts on here, I think the 3DS is going to have a historically good holiday season. I don't even want to guess a number but if it were to sell 4 million in a month, I really would'nt be shocked. The Wii U sales should be interesting, I'm hoping for over 1 million in December but I would be stupid to think that, that is a lock.

Best buy Miami, ps3 sold out in half an hour, over 100 of the 199 bundles, Wii mini in stock along with Wii u, Wii u barely moved, Xbox barely moved, PS area was on crack, ps4 and Xbox one were sold out from launch (stupid sony)

I went shopping at Best Buy on Wednesday and bought the 3G/Wifi PS Vita with 8 gb memory card for $169. I wanted a black one so I could let my wife use my white one and play Tearaway and some other games. When I was there there was a couple piles of Wii Us on the ground.

Today Best Buy was a madhouse. I noticed about 65-70% of the Wii U's were gone. I was shocked, they were the same price as the day before. They were either the 32 gb launch bundle or the Zelda bundle at the exact same price. The only difference ofcourse being instead of a store with 100 shoppers on Wed, there were hundreds more.

Walmart in my area. They had 25 $99 360's for 6pm and there were enough people in line by 5pm for all of them. I think I counted 50 of the $149 12GB PS3's and maybe 10 of the $200 250GB PS3's with the Last of Us/Batman bundle. I was there with my brother waiting in line with him for a 70" Vizio he wanted. They only had 2 registers open in electronics and IIRC, like 9 lines for different items (the 3 consoles I already mentioned, a 2DS deal, a couple tablets, Skylanders, Infinity, couple TV's.

So even after the sale started it took at least another hour just to check out. In that time I saw 3 people line up for the PS3 bundle, and 2 people for the 12GB bundle. I hope people are realizing what a joke the 12GB PS3 bundle is and were avoiding it for that reason. It also made me wonder how much the 360 will sell this holiday, that was the 2nd most sought after product it seemed behind some shitty cheap 32" HDTV. Even more so than PS4 or Xbone, which were being sold on opposite ends of the store and both quickly sold out before the event even started, not surprisingly. I remember the Wii Mini being on the cart too but not a single fuck was given by consumers.

The only real commotion moments were a swarm of people ripping into some towels and other shit in the middle of the store a good 5 minutes early which caused a chain reaction of everyone tearing into everything that was out on the floor. Then maybe 40 minutes after the sale started, some drunk guy tried to cut in a line for a Disney Infinity set. They had to call a "security team" who turned out to be one small black lady and the drunk guy promised to meet the main guy who was calling him out for cutting in the parking lot. I kind of wish I'd stuck left outside when that guy did just to see what happened.

I really like what Walmart does now, they have lines for almost everything, and their 1 hour in stock guarantee allows you to shop around for other things if you want and not miss out on some of the stuff. Like they had some tablets and iPad Minis and other shit where you could get in line up to an hour after the sale starts and be guaranteed the item by Christmas. I expect other big retailers and even smaller ones like Target and KMart to follow suit on that.

Unfortunately for myself personally I didn't see a single thing on BF ads that I was interested in.
