I think you've got the best attitude, just have a good time!

I'd send the Memasahib down to wait in line, whilst I got some sleep.

And the girlfriend is with her parents for turkey and more turkey, so it looks like the 5am dash for me. Apparently Best Buy will have one for the same money too.
Thanks for the tip on the Amex card, I do have a Delta Amex Platinum. I believe it also covers insurance on rental cars (but off topic!)

Re: Black Friday
I did the 5.00am Walmart thing 2 years ago with my English neighbour, I wanted a table football (fussball) for my son and she wanted V-tech stuff. The queue was horrendous by the time we got there and as we had been drinking until quite late the previous day we went to Starbucks for coffee instead. Once we had finished our coffee we decided to give Toys R Us a try and managed to get quite a few bargains.
I went back to Walmart the following week and got the table football for the same price as it was on Black Friday.
Once was enough for me and I won't be doing it again.
