OT- Black Friday

[Reggae Fish]

Ok. I've never gotten up early to fight others for items on Black Friday. I just think it's insane. So, on that note, I am going this year

I'm going to take a late nap and start drinking around 1-2am and have the old lady drive us to where we need to go.

Who else here is crazy. (and I don't mean 60 spiders as pets crazy :lol: )

I have the majority of the Black Friday ads. Let me know if you want them.

 

[MperRluvR]

i am going to go to best buy around midnite maybe (for the laptop)

 

[JxMetal]

I went to CC last year at about 1 or 2 in the morning and didn't get what I wanted. I was 2 people too late. Oh well, who knows. I may go this year but there's nothing I really want on sale yet.

 

[TWINPEAKS]

Planning on best buy for the laptop too.

 

[Dert42]

my wife is going.
i'm staying at home with a bottle of baileys and sweet sweet halo2 uninterrupted allllll day!

 

[Amy83820]

How did you get the ads so early? I've never done the black friday thing, but i've waited in lines for other crazy things.

 

[JxMetal]

which laptop the duocore? That's the only one worth it IMO

 

[Letmegrow]

I wonder if it would be better to wait for the comps with windows vista preinstalled to come out.

 

[Chelsey]

The Beta for Vista was crap, it's not worth the wait IMO.

 

[Reggae Fish]

I agree. Down with vista!

Actually for someone looking for basic, like my mom, I think wal-mart is the one with the compaq 60gb for $289 which is plenty for her

 

[Letmegrow]

My OS is DOS so I don't care !

 

[Ocicat]

Um, I feel kinda dumb, but WTH is Black Friday?

And Reggae are you saying there will be a Compaq laptop available for $289 on this mystical day??

day after Turkey day

Interested in what the laptop deal is. I haven't seen any ads yet and didn't see anything online.

 

[JxMetal]

Alright Justin, I just looked at the walmart BF ad and there's no $300 laptop this year. Sorry bud

 

[MperRluvR]

there is more than one laptop deal...the one i was talking about was the HP one from BestBuy for $380.

More details:
http://bfads.net/

It's a pretty good deal, but I may/may not go. Not really worth the effort plus I can't afford it even at that price, unless I sold my desktop....If you look on Best Buy's site they sell it for over $600. But that's their marked-up price. Online I'm sure it's much cheaper than $600. HTH

FWIW the Vista RC2 is available and I haven't run into a problem yet except with Aquanotes so I don't run it at this time. Curt at Neptune has the bugs worked out but isn't releasing an update until the final version comes out in case they change something.

Explorer 7 is also available and it's awesome! No more multiple windows just tabs and resourses are much higher. Works great in my case because I always go through forums and websites and "open in a new window". I many times have 30+ pages open.

 

[Letmegrow]

I havent see nanyone lined up for ps3 anywhere.

mperrluvr,

Pony up the extra $100 and get the dual core from CC
