Fuck WalMart.

Agreed

Black Friday is a joke. Same lousy sales that they always have, with a few bargains thrown in for the nutters that wait in line overnight.

Sorry, but my time and mental health is worth more than trying to score a cheap laptop.

Edit to add - FRT beat me too it, guess I'm not the only one who sees, *uh-hum*, heard it that way :)

Walmart makes me feel better about myself. I'm broke as a joke and don't sleep at night and I'd rather get an colon cleaning with a badger than be at Walmart at 1am for black friday.

Pitlab77 11-21-2011 08:57 AM

BF is he best in my chair, in my undies, drinking coffee, online with no people around me.

Thanks for reminding me. I'm trying to build the cheapest media PC possible in the near future. Now may be the time.

omg if you find cheap hard drives, BUY THEM ALL.

seriously, shit has doubled in price in the last couple months. used to be 1.5TB for $60-70, now it's not eeeeeeeeeeven. you'll be lucky to find 1TB under 100 bucks without having to rip it out of a usb-style-enclosure.

this is what happens when you flood and get radioactive and shit.

I think it has more to do with the price increase of rare-earth magnets, then flooding, radioactivity or shit.

flooding in thailand.

which, arguably, is consistent with my declaration of "shit" since they pretty much crap in the water there.

Reverant 11-22-2011 03:57 PM

I bought two 2TB Seagate USB drives two weeks ago. $130 each, win for me. They had another two, but I didn't want to spend $520 in a single day just for drives. Fail for me, they are now gone, and I can't even find plain 1TB drives for that price.

y8s 11-22-2011 04:44 PM

BestBuy had a 1TB Seagate on sale for $55 for a few days. Back up to 130.

icantthink4155 11-24-2011 07:51 AM

I would really love to find a 32gb micro-sd for less then $30. Anyone seeing them on sale any place?

Faeflora 11-24-2011 10:16 AM

I want a uh

ipad 3

and

biggest usb thumbdrive known to man

Pitlab77 11-24-2011 12:20 PM

Trying to get a new Xbox. 250mb slim. All I see are S#$@ bundles. Any good deals lmk.


Also wow on the prices of HD. I got a 1tb HD for like 50 bucks earlier this year.

Opti 11-24-2011 10:58 PM

Walmart has something for 200 dont know what XBOX it is.

I refuse to shop on black friday, but I work every year, and its a complete cluster fuck every year. I watched to ladies almost get in a fight over a set of tires. HAHAHA

And every year someone not paying attention or doing something stupid to get to Kohls/best buy or somewhere a few seconds faster damn near plows into me. I will not be driving the camaro this year. Ever since the broken neck Im so scared to get hit.

thirdgen 11-24-2011 11:09 PM

I think I want to trade my like 12 year old PS2 and my 4 games (Medal of honor front line, grand theft auto 3, Grand Turismo 3 and 4) on a PS3 so I can play MW3. I went in an out of walmart in 5 minutes just to browse. I saw $249 for a PS3 with 160GB. Tomorrow I might check out gamestop.

gearhead_318 11-24-2011 11:33 PM

You can get a refurbished 360 for real cheap, plus you can trade in the PS2 and games towards the PS3/360 at gamestop.

thirdgen 11-24-2011 11:37 PM

I'm sure I want to go the PS3 route, but how much do you think they'll give me for a trade towards one with my PS2 and 4 games? Does a PS2 controller fit a PS3? Does a PS2 memory card fit a PS3?

blaen99 11-24-2011 11:40 PM

Gamestop's having a 160gb PS3 for $199 deal tomorrow Third. If you want to get a PS3, that's what you want.

gearhead_318 11-24-2011 11:40 PM

I wouldn't bet on more then $40 for all of it. I think PS2 controllers are the same as PS3 controllers but I haven't had either in years. They offered me something like a few dollars for a $50 racing wheel about 10 years ago, but it was a piece of junk, even new.

Awesome. I'm down with the super sale, but not too down with getting ripped off on a trade. Then again, my PS2 is probably as old as my car, and my car has given me way much joy and cost me way more money, so I can let go of it I guess. Or there's always Craigslist.
Stupid question, but do I need to buy all kinds of other shit with a PS3 with 160GB? It'll be WIFI ready? I'm a Noob to the trendy new game consoles. I only bought PS2 for GTA3, then grand tursimo 3 came out and I had to have it, then 4 came out and then I got bored after wasting hours and hours of my life playing it. Otherwise I just used the PS2 as a DVD player.

gearhead_318 11-25-2011 12:16 AM

PS3's are pretty much good to go from the package I believe. They receive wifi, play dvd's, blue ray movies and do other slick shit.

miatauser884 11-25-2011 02:17 AM



I stood in line for 2hrs tonight in walmart for the xbox deal. The deal saved $100 over the next best sale. Im still not sure it was worth it. I hate walmart.

Hope so. Woke up at 3am to score some newegg black friday goodness, but they didn't have anything that excited me. Hopefully monday. I'm looking for a baller status GPU and maybe some more memory.

Yeah but the deals are mostly on the 4gb models. And the 250 gb model has a game I already have and one that I dont feel like playing.

Plus I hear refurbish units break like a mother.

samnavy 11-25-2011 08:38 AM

NEWEGG

Polk Audio
Monitor 60: $99ea
Monitor 30: $99pr
CS1: $59
Free shipping.

This setup is currently the best deal going in home theater. They are essentially the old lineup (last years models) and Newegg has had them for cheap for months now... this is the best deal I've seen by about 20%. If you are in the market for a new suround setup, you cannot beat these for the price. You can throw in an additional set of the Monitor 30's and be all set for 7.0 surround.

My recommendation for a subwoofer of complementary price is the Bic F12 for $189 on Amazon:
For $650, you can rock the house with a very nice 7.1 system. A lot of guys will actually buy 2 of those subs because theyre so cheap... try $740 for 7.2 that will piss off you neighbors 2 houses away.

curly 11-25-2011 10:45 AM

I get the best of both worlds. Girlfriends going shopping with her sisters, and I get to tell her what to get while I stay home playing forza, watching netflix, and eating left overs.

So far, I'm getting a Dewalt 18v drill with two batteries, and HP photo printer. Still Fred Meyers to go.

Pitlab77 11-25-2011 01:35 PM

That vid is insane. Its pretty sad that all those deals u can find on the internet and even better.

mgeoffriau 11-25-2011 02:43 PM

One of those $200 Sharp 42" LCD's that were at Best Buy just popped up on my CL for $350. I sent an email offering $250. I figure $50 would be about as much of a premium as I'd be willing to pay to avoid waiting in line...




...and just got a reply that they already have an offer for $320.




...Asked the guy how long he waited. He said the store had 12 units, he got #12 and had been in line since noon on Thanksgiving.

thirdgen 11-25-2011 03:14 PM

Who would waste their whole day waiting in line on thanksgiving, just to sell a TV and make $100. Go donate plasma or something.

ThatGuy85 11-25-2011 04:24 PM



A video I specially made for black friday :)

Screw BF, I'm getting all my shit on cyber monday.

thirdgen 11-25-2011 04:55 PM

I love that ending, because yes...they ALL are RETARDED.

mgeoffriau 11-25-2011 05:07 PM

Hmm. One of my local BB's has the Xbox 360 250GB Holiday Bundle (Fable III, Halo Reach) for $200 and Forza 4 for $35....going to be hard to resist driving over there tonight to pick it up.

Last racing game I played was Forza (the original) on Xbox.

samnavy 11-25-2011 05:14 PM

I'm not really sure I understand why a store would even close on Thanksgiving. I know that very few people would shop that day... but how about leaving the store open all night so there's no crazy rush like that. As a retailer, you could avoid all the hassle, liability, media attention to the fact that somebody got trampled to death or beheaded by the security gate and just leave the store open all night.

Bond 11-25-2011 05:23 PM

That video made me LOL

chriscar 11-25-2011 07:32 PM

Screw standing in line! I got in on the $199 PS3 deal at Newegg, and already sold one of the bundled games on eBay for $50. I can't wait to get it and play GT5, I already have a Logitech Wheel & pdals from my PS2.

Indeed.

Next year I want to get a group of people together with cameras and film the action from local stores around here in ohio and make a better video. Should be fun :)

Bryce 11-26-2011 01:15 AM

I slept while the GF shopped with her Mom and cousin from 10pm to 6am. I'm pretty sure she was at that walmart in the first video Lolol.

Picked up a Coolermaster H100 for $70 after rebates from newegg. Time for 4Ghz and beyond because my Hyper 212 isn't cutting it.

GeneSplicer 11-27-2011 07:18 PM

Ordered a 55" LED 3D LG with 3D blueray player today from tigerdirect - screw that standing in line crap... why the hell would I do that when it ships free to the house plus no tax???

What is compatible from a PS2 to a PS3? Can I use the same memory card and controllers?

Pitlab77 11-27-2011 07:44 PM

controller should work

Joe Perez 11-27-2011 07:53 PM

My brother in law has too much time on his hands.

As a joke, he went to Target and stood in the horrendously long checkout line to buy a pack of chewing gum.

Meanwhile, I was comfortably sleeping on the couch with a toothless chihuahua snoring gently beside me.

So the guy drove there, stood in line for 12 hours, went through the hassle of checkout and getting it out to the car, then drove it home for a $100 profit?

That's pathetic. He could have made more collecting cans for 12 hours.

All these black friday shoppers are idiots. I browsed through a few of the local ads and compared pricing to that of Amazon and eBay, only to find that the local "deals" were actually within a few dollars of online pricing. In some cases the online deals were still $5-$10 cheaper with free shipping.

I hate dealing with lines and shit anyways, so I'd end up grabbing someone by the neck if they tried to take something I already had in my hand.

Complete sheep mentality. Wait in line for black friday deals, post status updates on facebook, be the coolest person you know. :td:

mgeoffriau 11-27-2011 09:54 PM

To be fair, you're not going to find a 42" 1080p LCD for less than $350 anywhere else. But yeah, I'm not wasting a whole day just so that I can post something up on CL and make $120.
