How do you get a deal like the Hitachi Plasma 720P HDTV for $599? Do you have to stand in line in the middle of the night the day before or can you show up any time on that Friday after Thanksgiving and get one from Sears?
It's just a rumor right now, but usually you will have to camp out for something like that. When I bought my TV last year I went to the store on the Wednesday before to check the stock. They had all of 3. I wouldn't doubt that if the above mentioned TV sale is true that it will be a limited quantity of 10-20 and be an "early bird" special. 9 times out of ten for the early bird specials you have to be at the store at least an hour before opening since that's when they hand out vouchers for the specials. Last year I showed up at 9 PM on Thanksgiving, was 50 people back but thankfully was the first person in line who wanted that particular TV.
