Shopping discounts draw diehards

NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass. -- Hardy bargain hunters swarmed into big-box retailers Best Buy and Wal-Mart at 5 a.m. looking for deals on electronic gadgets. By 7 a.m., parking spaces were almost as hard to come by as an Xbox 360, with drivers pulling onto median strips or leaving their cars to clog fire lanes. Shoppers began refueling at 8 a.m. -- waiting in a 50-foot-long line for coffee at the Dunkin' Donuts in Emerald Square Mall.
