It's to prevent stampedes and other hazards, plus they're a 24h store so it makes sense to allow customers the ability to wait inside instead of running in at a fever pitched rush at 5AM.

Mine is a 24hr store as well, but I still don't feel like standing for 7 hours to get a couple PS3 games. I wonder if I can bring a foldable chair?Mod_Man_Extreme wrote:It's to prevent stampedes and other hazards, plus they're a 24h store so it makes sense to allow customers the ability to wait inside instead of running in at a fever pitched rush at 5AM.

I guess they figure having a bunch if crazy shoppers sleeping in the store is better than making them sleep outside and then getting trampled to death letting them in.Mod_Man_Extreme wrote:My nearby 24h Wal-Mart supercenter is literally letting customers sleep/wait in the store holding on or next to the items they want so they can get them on sale first thing when they wake up or the second the sales go into effect at 5 AM.
Comics, RPG's, miniatures, and now retrogaming? I guess its time to learn to go without eating...

Re: Black Friday Videogame Sales!
GoGamer is having a reasonably good sale. It's kind of a mixed bag. There's some good stuff buried in there though:

Also, impulse added Sins of a Solar Empire to their sale for just $10 bucks!
