Ugh.. I really want this Asus Laptop.

It's $249.99 at Best Buy and like $349.99 everywhere else. Only problem is that it's In-Store pickup only, but there aren't any stores in my area that have it in stock. Does Amazon or anyone else price match for things like this?
 
$799.99 plus tax, the lightning deal price.

I was put on the waitlist at first and I still don't get the whole wait list concept.

You could have done better building your own. The GPU will hold you back on a lot of games, but otherwise the computer seems fine.

I know I could have, but I don't trust myself to be able to build my own without messing it up. I blame that on my first attempt in replacing a video card on my first computer which somehow slowed the whole thing down until I removed the battery on the motherboard a year or two later.

But it's a definite improvement over my Circuit City Black Friday 2007 Acer.
 
I don't think they give free trial with Amazon mom anymore. I tried it once and got extended for whole new year after buying ton of toys.

After it expired I tried new acct and new email but free trial is gone now.

I'm on my last two and a half months of free prime then =/

They had the free 3 months for Mom's as recently as last month.
 
Are there any 32" and up TV deals left on any sites, stores, anywhere?
My TV decided to die on me last night after passing up all the TV deals.
 
I'm looking for a deal as well. Bought season 1 to 4 last BF and they're still sealed.

Bingo. I already placed my orders too, but I was hoping to just hop on someones account via my email address getting added and it would save me a rip on shipping.

Well that escalated quickly...went to Best Buy to look at the Nikon D7000. I have been looking at it for a while but noticed they had the entire kit with the lens for 999.99. Normally that is just the cost of the camera body. Walked out with the camera and two 32gb SDHC cards.

Probably going to sell the lens to make up some of the money.
 
My haul:

Alien Anthology Blu $20
Brave Blu $9
Fight Club Blu $4
True Blood Season 4 Blu $23
Prometheus 4-disc Blu $16

That really got out of hand fast.

My haul:

Alien Anthology Blu $20
Brave Blu $9
Fight Club Blu $4
True Blood Season 4 Blu $23
Prometheus 4-disc Blu $16

I spent $120 or so on a Keurig, $110 on a Kindle Paperwhite, $100 on a 3TB External HDD, and maybe $50 on assorted Blu-Ray's (Goldfinger, 500 Days of Summer, Breaking Bad S1/S2, etc).

Of that, the Keurig and the Kindle are gifts. So I manged to spend slightly more on others than I spent on myself.
 
The haul:

Need for Speed: Most Wanted - $30
Assassin's Creed 3 - $35
Lego Lord of the Rings - $30
GTAIV: Complete - $15
The Sly Collection - $10

Turtle Beach X12 - $35
Halo 4 controller - $35 (asked cashier if ALL controllers were 35, which they weren't. She asked manager who was super busy and gave me the price adjustment. Lucky me!)

Mad Men Seasons 1-4 Bluray - $40

Spent a lot more than I wanted and the backlog grows more, but I didn't spend as much as 2011!
 
Man, I'm so back and forth on my decisions...

Now I'm looking at the 11.6" Samsung Chromebook. Reading reviews on Amazon make it seem like a nice little device for what I want to use it for, which is mainly web browsing.

So.. Asus laptop, or Samsung Chromebook..? I hate this season :lol
 
I love the Chromebook.

I picked up the same Asus you're looking at, however. If you can find the Asus, get that one.

Yeah, I really want that Asus. BB's website says all nearby locations are out of stock. :(

I don't think I'll be able to get that $249.99 price anywhere else.
 
Those Itouches were gone the second I clicked. Whose smart idea was it to make it so you had to pick specifications anyway!?

Coming away with nothing but Calvin and Hobbes this BF. Hope Cyber Monday will treat me better.

I have a first gen samsung chromebook.

I love my chromebook, great for everything unless you rely on excell a bunch. I get 6+ hours per charge. Lately tho its been freezing on some shockwave applications, which is annoying. I think it's a thing with chrome in general after some research with the google gods. You can always try out a Linux build with it if your like messing with that kind of stuff.

I can't wait till next week to get all my presents in the mail. I'm trying to figure out a way to set up my new 51" tv. I have an entertainment center thats holding my 40" right now and I have a wall mount. I was thinking of putting up the wall mount and mounting the new tv to that. Problem is I would have no where to put my xbox,cable box, and blu ray player and I certiainly can't put it on the ground(9 mo son). I could buy a really cheap entertainment center. Anyone know of any cheap ones out there. The 40" and the old entertainment center are going in my bedroom.
 
I just ordered Borderlands 2 for $25...

Just why? I'm probably not going to play this for like the next year with my current backlog...

There's still a ton of games on sale starting at $10 and up. You know Sly Cooper Collection, GT5:XL, RDR: GOTY ($15), Borderland 2.. etc

Seriously. Amazon has saved me like $300 so far on stuff Ive been meaning to get for a while now. Not to mention holiday presents.

My gaming backlog of games left to fill out mycollection is down to just like three titles now.
 
Just bought: 'Bond 50: The Complete 22 Film Collection [Blu-ray]' $99

Flawless Victory.

Haul:
PS3 Infamous/Uncharted bundle - $199
Sleeping Dogs - $25
Hitman: Absolution - $32.50
Halo 4 w/ $20 Amazon credit
A $10 DBZ shirt at Hot Topic
$75 worth of clothes at EXPRESS

Pretty good haul this year because I honestly thought I wasn't going to get anything. The only thing I missed were the $10 MS points. They were wiped out at Target when I went at 5pm. Overall, still very happy because I now own all the consoles of this gen.
 
Are there any good videos showing a few seconds of people running and grabbing shit on black friday, then a few seconds of people running and grabbing humanitarian aid/food in Africa/War torn countries, then black friday again, then poor people again, and so on and so fort?
