Today was that most infamous of shopping days.  The day after Thanksgiving.  Black Friday.  The Day of Savage Mobs who will stop at nothing to get what they want.

My day started at 3:00 am.   My dad and I left the house early, only after plotting out where to go and in what order.  Our first stop was K-Mart, where we got my Grandma a new TV.  She insisted she didn't need a new one, but it's clear that her old one was starting to go out.  Next, we got a few miscellaneous items at Radioshack.  One of them was an S-Video cable for my PS2, but I'm not supposed to know about that one. 

Our final destination was perhaps the most important for me.  I'm pretty sure this year was the first I've actually had something specific in mind to buy on this day of chaos.  GameCrazy was selling Final Fantasy XII new for $29.99 between 9am and 1pm.

This is just an insane deal, considering the game hasn't even been out for a month yet.  I was probably going to wait until after Christmas to pick FFXII up, but I went for it today.  I was the first person to wait in line for it.  It actually felt good, as strange as that may sound.  Many there were hoping to find a Wii or a PS3, with no luck.  I'm just glad I got my hands on this latest Final Fantasy.

I've only played it for an hour so far, but it is amazing.  I'm still adjusting to new battle system, but it works really well.  The graphics and music are both incredible.  I can't wait to play it more. 

Did anyone else take advantage of this, or perhaps another awesome deal on Black Friday?

Take care!  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!
