+--- Thread: Cyber Monday seems to be a letdown. (/showthread.php?tid=88740)
Cyber Monday seems to be more of a media/marketing invention than actual tradition. - RAMd®d - 12-01-2009
Maybe in a few years.
Of course it could have been a runway buying event but we're just too elite to bother with more pedestrian consumer sales.

I think Cyber Monday has been falling off of the good-deal radar screen for a few years now. I can't remember seeing anything worthwhile cheap enough on Cyber Monday last year either.
I was planning on getting up early Black Friday and standing in line for a few things, but as the clock radio went off, I turned around, said "I need to get up now" and promptly fell back asleep again. Woke up at 7:30, headed out, and I got everything that I wanted! No need to stand in line anywhere (except for some stupid reason at Best Buy).
I still spent more money than I had anticipated, considering there were no "must-have" items that I saw.
