Went to the Chicago Fry's this morning, got there 5:10am (opens at 5am). Parking lot already full and had to drive around to find a spot. 10 minutes after opening and people were already leaving, some with stuff, some emptyhanded. Stuff I was gonna get that was OOS were the Belkin 375VA UPS $FAR and the Casio Exilim EX-Z50 camera with Epson C88 printer for $127 AR. Stuff I ended up getting was the PNY Attache USB 1GB $34.99, Emprex UXB 256MB $9.99, AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800+ retail box with ECS NFORCE4-A939 motherboard for $279.99. No rebates on anything.
Was tempted by the Seagate 300GB EIDE for $69.99 AR (two rebates) but I decided I didn't need a third brand new hard drive sitting around collecting dust. :Q Darn these hot deal forums!!! Also saw some great deals - looked like regular price - on some anime DVDs. $6.99 per disc with titles like Love Hina, Saber Marionette, Blue Submarine #6, Banner of the Stars, Crest of the Stars... all awesome titles. Note that these are regular discs with a few eps and the whole series will take a few discs, but they did have some of the different ones to make the set.
The checkout line snaked all the way to the rear of the store but moved pretty quickly.
I'm suprised that I got out of there with some stuff - plus went to CompUSA and got what I was looking for. Staples and Circuit City were OOS on everything. Target was OOS on the Kodak C315 5MP camera for $89 but had everything else. Menards seemed well stocked. Went to a second Circuit City that had more stuff in stock.
