Haven't got it yet, reviews seem pretty good. It has the ability to update maps and POI information so if there is anything wrong you can get it fixed. From what I understand the Best Buy version is different than the Circuit City version, but I'm not sure what the differences are.

Best maps and routes. 1. Garmin 2. Magellan Last. Tomtom I use Telenav on my Sprint phone. Like it since I can go online and "pre-add" locations and just sync to the site when I connect with the phone. Nice thing about it is that it also doubles as a free 411 service. Since it's a company phone, it's free and it's one less gadget I have to carry with me. No "map updates" needed either. Hey, it works and it gets me there..  | |

1 edit | Bah Humshit Cyber Monday? Never even heard of it. As if this country needs yet another excuse to gorge, overconsume and accumulate even more consumer debt. I don't celebrate Xmas so these alleged "deals," are irrelevant to me. Six months after December, you'll be able to find the latest & greatest selling for top dollar now in the discount bin.

| What CylonRed said.
Used to be, back in the before times, we could contain our excitement and enjoy one holiday at a time. So, Christmas, and the related consumption orgy, wouldn't begin until after Thanksgiving was over....but now since we're encouraged to buy ourselves to death all year long, Black Friday has kinda' lost it's magic.

| Re: Hmmm 30 ? Haven't been following that american dollar slide to much have ya ? Or your just trying to make us feel better about it and give us some sort of hope.
The american economy will be coming to a crashing halt soon. And I myself am not spending much money this year except on the people I love mainly my immediate family. We have over commercialized this and every other holiday in the sake of turning a profit.
No thanks I will save my time and money and put it into the bank for a new home.

| Yawn I was watching the evening news briefly about some guy who, in total, will have camped outside Best Buy for 31 hours to get in the door when the store opens on Friday.
I've seen a preview Best Buy's "Black Friday" advertisement on the unofficial "Black Friday" website; quite frankly it wouldn't exactly make me want to camp outside their door.
At 5:00am when most stores will be opening up on Friday for sales; I'll be at home in bed asleep! Now that's something good. | |

| Midnight run sounds fun.... I'd like to do a midnight run for Black Friday, it would be fun once for the experience.
However:
1.) There's nothing I want to buy
2.) I'm too lazy (and now on dialup @ my mom's) to try and figure out good Ebay sales opportunities.
I already bought a laptop which I think was a *heck* of a deal last month, and haven't seen any Black Friday deals that are as good @ that performance level (T7500, 8600M GT, 2GB RAM - $850) | |

This year the BF sales were mostly not that good. Saying that though I did go to Kmart Thursday Morning at 3:30 AM. They actually had a great deal on a 32" HDTV. My TV here in my bedroom went last month. So been waiting for a great deal. I have a connection with a CE wholesaler. Found out that their cost for this unit was $580.00. Kmart sold for $420.00. So was kinda happy bout that. Have to say this unit rocks, have it with the HD STB and I couldn't be happier.
Now just waiting for better deals after Xmas. | |

--pasted text--
Where is that American spirit? Got to get out
there at the mall, dodge the drunk drivers, the kids on their cell phones, the police trying to issue a few tickets to justify a break at the local do nut shop, total road rage over the second parking spot you got gypped out of only to get a ding in your car by the big ass truck full of kids parked too close to your side. Then there is the joy of getting into the mall through the stinking sea of humanity, with babies crying and old men farting and belching and whole families walking along with food falling from their mouths. Dragging enormous bags of plastic and sometimes toxic crap made abroad in China and other sweat shops around the world by kids working is the most inhumane conditions. Being almost knocked down and having to take a piss and the line just never seems to end. Oh they joy of shopping. Then there come those bills and they arrive before you even know the warrantees is crap just like the stuff you bought for 5 times what it was worth. This year I will sacrifice and miss this magic day. I will not shop for anything. I may just stay home and relax for a while. Clean out the garage and closets and get drunk in the yard with a yard sale. I don't want to miss all the fun.

It was a veritable road rage fest b/c people were parking on lawns and sidewalks and otherwise beating each other over the head for $9.99 piece of shit, generic mp3 players and $500.00 laptops at an off brand retailer selling off off off off brand computers. Glad I missed it.
If I shop at all, then it's online for a gift card and then the recipient can just go spend the money on whatever s/he wants. No muss no fuss no shipping/handling/taxes.
