Black Friday: What Did You Buy?

Just curious how much spending people did this year, what they bought, etc. How many of you physically went to a store, and how many did their shopping online? What deals did you miss out on?
I'm still waiting around for any last minute online deals, preferably on Steam, but here's my near-final haul:
1. Street Fighter IV Round 2 Tournament Edition Fight Stick (B1G1, Madcatz Store)-$150
Gonna try to sell the free one on Ebay, essentially getting one fight stick for free (or near value)
2. Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time (Wal-Mart Online)-$11
Paid the extra dollar to have it shipped to my house. I pretty much do whatever I can to avoid physically entering a Wal-Mart store.
3. Dragon Age Awakening (Xbox 360, K-Mart In-Store)-$35
I was honestly surprised they had this. Now I just have to decide whether my vanilla copy will sell for an adequate amount on Ebay, or if I should return/exchange the UE once I get the DLC off the disc.
4. Play N Trade 3 for $6
My local PnT had a box full of PS2/Xbox/GC games, buy any 3 for $6 total. The pickings were somewhat slim, but I walked away satisfied with the following PS2 games:
Valkyrie Profile 2 Silmeria (worth the $6 on its own. Pretty rare to find, and something I've been meaning to get for a while)
Onimusha 4 (finished it on a rental, but heck, might as well complete my collection, crazy DBZ-ness aside)
Rumble Roses (this was after they couldn't locate Viewtiful Joe or Simpsons: Hit & Run. As usual, whenever I'm faced with rejection, my only alternative is masturbation)
5. World of Warcraft (Amazon, includes $5 coupon): Went for a physical copy due to the Amazon promotion. When it arrives tomorrow, I'll also purchase digital copies of Burning Crusade($5) and Wrath of the Lich King ($10) from the Blizzard store.
6. Kick-Ass (Amazon) $9.99:
All movies listed are Blu Ray, FYI.
7. Superbad (Amazon) $4.99+Promotional code GRHORNET: $2
Yep, $2 for using that code. News flash, Amazon is awesome.
8. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (Moviestop): $5
The only physical movie purchase I made. I got the DVD on Christmas a few years back, so I'll be selling that one on Ebay.
Missed Out/Didn't Buy:
1. The Hurt Locker (Amazon): $9.99
The Lightning Deal bar wasn't working for some reason, and an Amazon rep wouldn't apply the promotion after it expired. Too bad, it's an awesome movie.
2. Harry Potter Years 1-6 (Amazon): $40
Decided not to get this one, as I was pretty set on getting the complete collection of Lost.
3. Lost The Complete Collection (Amazon): $130
But then I also decided not to get this one either. It was real tempting, but I wanted to go through BF under a budget. Maybe it'll pop up again for Christmas.
Still Considering:
Hellboy 2 (Amazon): $7.99
I'm not even sure if this is a BF exclusive price or not. I still want to wait around for any last minute deals.
So overall I'm very satisfied. I managed to collect my targeted items, plus a few more bonuses. How about you guys?

A HTC Droid Incredible (figured it was high time to purchase one of these newfangled smart phones)
A new desk chair.
Between the two I paid 34.99, which was the cost of the chair (Normally 79.99), as the phone was free with a new plan. Ancient work provided phone that barely sends text messages and doesn't take pictures be damned! Spacehog is entering the 21st century!
I really dont want to go, just shop online.
The 3 bourne films at $2 each
A bunch of steam games
Damn it.
i thought about buying a three hole punch but i decided that could wait
Seasons 1-4 of Psych
Season 1 of MadMen
Dr. No
From Russia With Love
Dodgeball
Princess Bride (dvd and bluray combo)
Spaceballs (dvd and bluray combo)
Secret Satan
Secret Satan 2013 Wishlist
Picked up a little something something.
I'm drunk.
1080p HDTV with hertz or something.
Big TV. In my living room to watch football and movies. The kid was playing Wii boxing on it.
Secret Satan 2013 Wishlist
i'll be right over
went over the credit card and there was no transaction data for such a purchase
which is weird. maybe i won something? that's kinda pretty alright
The line was 20+ deep for the six chairs they had on sale. I went back to bed.
Damn i forgot just how attractive the chicks are that work at the Guess store.
resonance of fate
update: i bought a three hole punch
this has been a rollercoaster black friday
I'm getting so tired of people mentioning this show and this deal. I don't know why I'm so skeptical whether I'll like it or not, but I really didn't want to spend anymore cash today.
But in truth, I'm probably worried that I'll buy the first season and then regret not also buying season 2 when it was also $9.99.
Also considering using my $15 credit from Amazon on Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2.
No, seriously, it looks pretty boss.

there's literally no reason not to get all three seasons, esp if you have a blu ray player
See, I thought at the very least I would get S1, but now you're going and tempting me to get all three. And the biggest problem is it's affordable Oh God someone help me.
I also wish there was a deal on the Sly Collection.

No, just tell me what store.
Did you spend points in October? If you spent 2400 points in the month of October, you were supposed to get 800 points back by the end of November.
On this note, I finally got my 800 points today, right after checking this post.
I can finally get Pac-Man Championship Edition DX.

I was at wal-mart because I got a gift card from my mom.
I wanted to see if I could get an external hard drive there for cheap but they didn't have any on sale and also food is more important.
Attempted to buy matinee priced movie tickets, but they only had the scattered or sprained neck seats left.
