Hot tech gifts
"The thing to remember is that these inexpensive deals are the blowout stuff and are not designed to be profitable for the retailer or the manufacturer but to build awareness and get people in the stores"

Oh -- people are getting into the stores alright. I'm sure most people have seen the news, especially about the women in Michigan who were trampled upon the doors opening to a store (I think it was Best Buy, but it doesn't really matter). Thankfully, (as far as I know), the women were O.K.

Even locally, I heard of police having to rush over to a Wal-Mart & Circuit City to try to quash mini "brawls" which started; I believe it was due to X-Box 360 sales.

I think it's great that products like X-Box 360 & laptops are on sale, but I really hate to see the kind of disturbing scenes I saw on the news today. But once again -- I can't imagine people NOT knowing about blowout items!
