I was told at Best Buy, they start handing out tickets for some of the items at 3 am. All you have to do is get a ticket for say the X Box and you can come back later and claim it at the sale price. My gf is interested in one of the CPU's they have on sale and she told me about that, they only have 5 of them and if she gets one of the hold tickets, she can come back later and pick it up.
