PINELLAS PARK -- By mid morning, the early door-busting mob made short work buying out all of the 32-inch HD TV sets priced at $388 at the Pinellas Park WalMart.

The parking lot was jammed, but there are still plenty of spaces for those willing to walk 200 feet to the door. The crowds had thinned out enough that 12 of the 36 check-out aisles were closed.
