It's not actually trolling if you don't admit it
Hazaro, where is that Kingston 8GB USB stick for 10 bucks on Newegg?

Anyone see any good deals on digital cameras or gaming headset/mics I can get for PC?

That 8GB stick is long gone.
Also buy a USB logitech like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Logitech-Desktop-Microphone-USB-MIC-Silver-980186-0403_W0QQitemZ220312356499
No drivers, just plug it in and play, very very good quality.

Eh, what time did they have that running? Crazy deal.

Not sure, it popped in and out of stock. Pricing error that will probably go through. (If I did this earlier it might of shipped today, one of my orders already is shipped. Crazy fast.

Hey, how good is the dell 420?
http://www.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/desktops_great_deals?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

What could I play with those base specs? (all I really want is civ 4 and lego batman)

I imagine most will say build your own but my current dell is 5 years old and I've no problems with it and when my wife's laptop had problems dell service was really good

You literally take just about every spec in that machine, cut it in half and that's what I play Civ 4 on :lol

I have basically that same machine but with an 8800GT and a larger hard drive and it's run everything with absolutely no problems. I have no idea how good that card is but if all you want is those two games you should be more than fine.

Looks like that circuitcity 360 deal (20 gig harddrive extra controller) has been online for a while. MIGHT WANNA CHECK to see if the store around you have it in stock. If you buy it online I think you have a couple days to actually go to the store and pick it up. HAVING IT SHIPPED TO YOU IS NOT AN OPTION
Click to expand...


The deal is back up online, some stores have been re-stocked and you can now get it shipped to your home for free (10 day shipping=(, but you can more extra for faster shipping.)

That's a pretty crazy deal.

Not as good but if you purchase an arcade at amazon you get $50 off the live starter pack.

Basically a Pro + 3 months of Gold for $250

On the PS3 side they are giving away Resistance 2 CE and cabling for $399.


Amazon basically seems to be at an 'everything must go' stage. Crazy deals.

I thought all the deals ended yesterday but the 360 arcade deal is still up on circuitcity.com. When does it actually end? Hopefully I can wait till their arcades are jaspers and still get the deal....

God damn. It's probably people like you (hording) that cause these delays... (lol)

Anyways this sucks, it seems like mine is the only order that got delayed. Can't find anyone else who is experiencing these delays. :(

You probably had it in your cart checking out after they ran out of copies already so you are getting their next shipment or shipment after next. I looked for it at like 2:15 am CST and it was already gone so very likely you were one of the last ones to get the price, but not the shipment.

At least I didn't see that $130 360 deal or I would have picked another one up as a spare. I have a friend at work who was looking for a good Xbox deal too - he's going to cry when I tell him.

:lol

All 3 for $60.00 total,not bad I guess. More than anything they were games I needed to pick up for ages.

I hope BurnOut Paradise is as good as this forum makes it out to be,I haven't bought an EA racer since Need for speed III. Sega Rally Revo I was abit miffed with its rubberband a.i. when it released and quickly sold it for high value,decided to jump in because hell I love the franchise,maybe it'll click this time around. TRA I always put off buying so now was the time. Not anything new here,but nice little deals anyways. I got them at WalMart,they had a bin full of $20.00 games,it was a fucking mess fighting soccer moms and kids for the games though.

I kinda feel like a tool after this year's Black Friday. I was really only looking for a deal on Left 4 Dead (PC), but I missed it for $35 at Gogamer and $20 at Amazon. So I ended up buying a couple CDs from Amazon (somewhat discounted, but not really BF deals) and a CD and Need For Speed: Most Wanted from CDUniverse (again, not really a BF deal, but they were decent prices and I got $5 off for using Google Checkout). I'm sort of getting the feeling that I've played right into the hands of the retailers since I didn't get in on any of the insane deals, but bought a bunch of stuff anyway.

Ah well. I'm calling it quits after today, unless another good price on L4D pops up.
Though a cheap copy of Mirror's Edge would certainly be tempting. Or a discount on Castlevania:OoE. Or an ultra-low price on some older 360 or DS games. Aww who am I kidding, my wallet is screwed...

Paradise is a damn fun game. Even if you run into the common frustration (lack of retry on races), the gameplay up to that point will be well worth $20, and the DLC adds quite a bit of new content. Hope you enjoy it!

So, I got Gears of War 2 AND Fallout 3 both for a total of 34 bucks. They were 20 bucks each at Target, plus I opened a credit card and got 10 extra percent off (plus I got my employee discount since I work there).

See, there were some other 360 games on sell for 20 bucks for the 2 day sale and the guy at our store was substituting other 360 games for the ones we were out of. He was letting customers do the same thing so I asked if I could do it, too and he didn't see why not. So I saved almost 100 dollars. I was pretty freaking excited.
