Totally missed the $10 Microsoft Store games, was out clubbing, but my backlog is bad enough as it is. Hell of a deal for the people who got on it though.

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

A lot of people asked about this, now's a good time to explain since the thread has slowed down:

Basically, when Amazon does these limited-supply flash deals, they will initially let X number of people claim the offer, X being the number of the item they have. Once that point is reached, people after that can join a waitlist.

For the people who claim offers: They have a limited amount of time to check out, something like 20 minutes. If they don't complete the transaction before time runs out, they lose the chance to buy the item.

For the waitlisters: You are hoping people who claimed the offer will not purchase the offer, as any offers that expire this way will be offered to the first person in the wait list, then the next, and so on and so on.
 
I witnessed the MS Store but didn't buy something. Kept browsing their site figuring there was something I needed but just couldn't do it. Not into MW3 or Skyrim, and already own/beat the other games that were interesting.

However, Microsoft Store is clearly #1 in my book. Never thought I'd say that. I almost reordered a copy of ME3, Diablo 3, and Saints Row 3, though. Almost.
 
So far I've bought 19 blu-rays. That includes some box sets that come with multiple movies and 4 seasons of different TV series. I also bought 1 game and 1 vita case.
 
Grabbed that Bond box for $99, Man With No Name Trilogy for $20, Dishonored for $25, & Doom BFG for $20. All on Amazon. No fucking around in lines or dealing with stores.

Would love to see the Hitchcock Box for $99...

Well there was a twitter rumor that Bond was going to be the DotD today for $110 (even though its less), Indiana Jones set for $30 and Firefly and The Peanuts Holiday set for $10 each.

Some people on Blu-ray.com, where I saw the rumor, are thinking they'll throw up the Indy set as DotD when the Bond set sells out.

Does Blu-ray.com just aggregate all blu-ray sales and provides a direct link to where the sale is? Sorry, I'm new to this.

Yeah, on the home page. Well, I think they just show price drops for Amazon but on the forums there is a deals subsection where people will post their findings.

There is a pricing chart too so you can see if a specific blu-ray is the lowest its ever been on Amazon.
 
I've been waiting for an Indy set deal as well. It's not listed in their lightning deal section for today so I hope add it tomorrow or surprise us.
 
Why create an OT..if you never update it..

I read their price matching policy and it says they only price match TVs? Is there an exception for Black Friday?

How would I even go about price matching things on Amazon?

It's Amazon's pricing algorithms price matching from other sites most likely. Their tv policy is for non-online price matching, I'm assuming.
 
My haul:
Lego Batman 2 for Xbox for me
Xbox Live 3 month sub probably for my gf
Lego Harry Potter 5-7 Wii for my girlfriend
Modern Family Seasons 1&2 for my girlfriend
A VHS converter program for my girlfriend
A sports towel and Hangover DVD for my sister

And i plan on getting lacrosse sticks for my brother and sister and then Revenge S1 for my mom. Not sure what i am going to get my dad yet.

Even though i work on monday i'll be looking at deals all day so hopefully i can get me another game and maybe something for my dad. Either way, though, this Black friday has been pretty good.
 
The amount of cheap blu rays on amazon is awesome. I'm going to beef up my collection a bit. Seems like there's a lot of classics for under 5 bucks.
 
I actually wasn't that impressed with Black Friday this year.

It may have something to do with me already owning a crazy amount of blu-rays though so half the stuff on sale I have.
 
No Mad Men S5 blu-ray deal made me sad. Also raged at getting jerked around in the waitlist for the $97 HDTV
 
Only thing i bought at the store this year was on thanksgiving day at meijer, they always have a great thanksgiving sale, family tradition now

Picked up xmen first class blu ray and rise of planet of the apes blu ray, 9$ each. been wanting both for along time
 
Oh son of a bitch I missed out on Mass Effect 3 for $10. I was looking at the site when the $10 games were mentioned and didn't see it, stupid.

edit: And Asura's Wrath, damn.
 
I did pretty well on fashion, but I'm generally shopping for a lower tier than you are.

I also just got Gears 3 for $10. Every time I think I'm done, something else appears. I wish there was a deal on more Pixar blu rays besides Brave. I'd be all over The Incredibles or a Toy Story trilogy pack at reduced prices.
 
Update on the playstation display.
Sena to work really well as a monitor. Just had to turn down the sharpness to 0.
I can't seem to get any of the mods to 3D gaming to work on window 8, which is slightly disappointing, but not surprising, considering it's windows 8.

Other than that, I'm glad I picked it up. Better than the monitor I was using; the screen would spaz out and I would have to smack it a few times to fix it...
