Was there some still at the store you went? I won't be able to go till after work, and I wanted to get some myself.

Good find overall though for yourself.

I have a 2012 MBA and absolutely love it. Couldn't see myself using a Pro after getting so used to the Air form factor.

And the Apple Refurb store is an awesome resource that too many people overlook:

Just picked up the 11.6 123gb. Lack of SSD on pros was a dealbreaker, and I figure I'd give up the screen real estate for much needed storage while keeping the price as low as possible..

Here goes nothing.
 
Black Friday is also black beer day.

This is how I plan on spending my Black Friday. :D

Ohh... interesting how do I do this? Is it an app or something on the Google Play store?
Click to expand...

Nope, all done through the forum. Sign up for an account on Slickdeals.net and log in.

Then, run a search on the "Hot Deals" forum. You'll see an option near the top-right of your search results that says "create a Deal Alert From This Search". Click that, then click "add" (or tweak your search/options first.) At that point you are set and it will email the address you used to register.

For those looking for the Playstation 3D display, its currently back in stock @ bestbuy.com sold out
Click to expand...
Did you (or anyone else) pick up this display? I picked it up from the store just this morning... it seemed pretty low key for a Sony TV to be sold at $100 bucks...even if its only 24 inches... it is great for a bedroom or portable(ish).

The deal seemed pretty unadvertised at my Best Buy... I had to go to the back section by the rockband drums and headsets to pick this up. I just went in and got whatever was left. Dead Island GotY for 7, Saints Row Third and Dishonoured for 25. Then I picked up 3 seasons of Its Always Sunny 2 blu ray and 1 DVD for 8 each. Then on my way home picked up Ratchet and Clank Collection as well as Sly Collection for 10 each. I am set for basically the next 6 months to year of gaming, especially after picking up like 3 or 4 games during that Summer sale at Best Buy.

I dunno, I don't get into the madness of Black Friday... I just stroll in the morning after or night after and even if I get 1 or 2 things I was kind of looking for, I am happy. I am just surprised that these playstation tv's were not gone. Were the Sony Playstation TV's not going for like $499.99 at one time? I know they were easily $100 or $150 overpriced, but this seems like an awesome deal.

I really can't help but look at this list and say "9 hours for....that?" I know you saved some money but wow.
 
Amazon: Dishonored ($25), El Shaddai ($16), BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND Limited Edition ($20)
Walmart: LA Noire ($10)
Gamestop: Gran Turismo 5 XL Edition ($10)

Spent less than five minutes in-store, no crowds, helpful (actually, downright chipper) cashiers. Surely the benefit of living in a rural town. Also, my friend went to Dick's Sporting Goods at 11:30pm Thursday and bought a rifle.
 
$200 ps3 bundle is back in stock on bestbuy.com if you missed it elsewhere. Probably not for long, as it sold out in less than 1 minute last night.

Ended up costing me $110 after using a 90 dollar gift card I've had sitting in my wallet for 3 years.

Got mine on lightning deal on Amazon a few hours ago.

Now to take back this 299 one I got at GameSlob last last. Magazine rack will be flipped on the way out.

Waiting on the Ipod touch 5th gen to go up. 10 hours to go. Such a long wait.
Click to expand...

Both times I was there, both times it disappeared.

Already got it from Best Buy + $50 GC, but I'd love to pay less and save on tax. I believe it ran at about $245.

Employee Discount usually trumps all of this but AAPL isn't allowing anyone to get it at discount as of yet. :(

Funny thing is, the person I'm getting it for wants it in Black (not an available color during the lightning deals) or Red (only sold on the Apple Store).



I could see it now: "I'm telling you! Yellow's the new Black!"
 
I received my ready for pickup email from Best Buy. Guess I lucked out. Now to decide if I go today or some point or wait a couple of days for the craziness to die down.

Guys, how would the PS3 3d display be as a PC monitor? I'm at Best buy staring at a pile of them and I wouldnt mind a monitor upgrade at that price.
Click to expand...

Should be fine unless you're doing 3D on the PC as well.

Then it gets murky as you'd have to play the hardware/drivers game.


Edit:

Skyrim and Dishonored back up on Amazon for $25 for those who missed out.
 
Surprised those 3D Displays has been hard for some to get. I ordered and canceled like 3 trying to add the "GeekSquad warranty". Had to take chance, though many are saying the quality is shit.
 
Hey guys, I don't know the first thing about PC specs, so feel free to mock.



I would like a computer than would run Skyrim on Ultra, or I guess High, for under $200. Any chance I could find one today? And where to look? Laptop, Desktop, doesn't matter. I'm guessing I'm being unreasonable.

You are gonna need to spend at least $400 minimum, probably more. At least from my research.

Your cheapest bet will be to build it yourself. You can probably put a rig together that will run the game on mostly high settings for around $400. Check the PC thread for assistance, or let me know via PM and I'll see what I can put together for you this afternoon.

It depends on what you already have. If you don't need a monitor, mouse, keyboard, or copy of windows for example you might be able to manage it.

It is gonna be a lot closer to $450-500 to run Skyrim on ultra and it depends on what resolution you plan to use too.
