Mine was the 49". I ordered it on Tuesday since I saw that it already had the same "discount" it was going to get for BF.
Not that I couldn't afford, I found it 'not reasonable' to invest in a 1K$-1.5K$ display for which I had to make sacrifices (black levels, shitty HDR, etc.).
But yeah, I had a drastic change of heart though, I admit. :lol
I wanted to buy a cheap-ass TV for the time that the OLED displays go down in prices a bit. But I thought ''If I buy a 1K$ display, wait three-four years and buy an OLED for let's say, 1.5K$+ in the end, even if I sell the previous one, it's more or less the same.''
I wanted to replace my old TV for something that offers a drastic upgrade, I think the OLED will give me what I want, yes it's pricey, but I'll keep it for a loooooong time.
At least I hope you approve my change of heart, hahaha! I know there's a bit of input lag when on HDR, but I saw the LG is planning to update the firmware to offer better results, so there's that at least.
I just went to a place where they had tons of TVs on display, I couldn't put my eyes off the OLED, the black is too perfect, all the others near it were fucking grey in comparison.

I know. I'm being stupid. I'm scared shitless about what they will say, so I keep putting it off.
Our previous dentist retired several years ago, just out of the blue. A new woman took over the office, and she hired new dentists. I had a cavity I needed filled and went there. Got a young dentist who kept talking about American Idol's latest episode to her assistant, while doing the filling.
It fell out. Got it replaced (had to see her again else I'd need to pay again) and it fell out within a few weeks.
I swore I wouldn't go back, never got around to it, lost my insurance due to finishing college and didn't have insurance for several years. Until I got on disability recently, but now I'm too afraid of the pain and what it will cost outside of coverage.
I did go see the dental hygienists at the local college, for $30, but that was a few years ago. They said I had cavities. I didn't have coverage to get them fixed. I also have some the beginning of gum disease I think.
Now I have coverage, but I'm too afraid to go. It only covers basic dental...whatever that is (everywhere seems to be different). I know my one tooth has chipped from a cavity, another has a cavity, there's a ridge in between a top tooth and the gum...

You should get it tomorrow, I ordered mine from BB on the 18 and Purolator said that it was being delivered today. Even though the tracking never got updated on purolators website all week but it ended up my door today. Mine was shipped from Van BC to Mississauga ON.

Yeah I'm sure they sent out stock for Black Friday. Probably too much of a nightmare to actively look for it though.
I managed to get an order in for an NES Classic yesterday on Best Buy's site at 2:30 and it arrived today.
I don't know if I should hang onto it for Christmas as a gift/secret santa type of thing or try to sell it on Kijiji for $200. Decisions decisions.
I don't want it myself, I grew up as a Genesis gamer so I have no real nostalgic connection to NES games.

Right you are, this is a great deal, but with Final Fantasy XV out in 5 days, I can't see myself playing either anytime soon sadly...

If you don't already have a 3ds the Switch probably won't be Back-compat so it's still worth getting.
If you have a 3ds already, the n3ds is a near worthless upgrade, speaking as someone who has one.
Generally speaking, how's the availability on the New 3DS' today? My Dad's picking one up (probably from Wal-Mart) but won't get a chance to go in until tonight. Has it been easy to find in Canada or is it typical Nintendo?
I figured he could get that SM3DL bundle as an alternative if that's still around anywhere...

OLED is better than the KS8000 besides input lag, but KS8000 is far from having shitty HDR and black levels. But at that price its a hell of a deal and if I could do it again I would probably buy the B6 over the KS8000 but I am well past my return period. It would be tough though cause I am sensitive to input lag and the KS8000 is perfect there.
The SNES VC games are nice, and I have heard that Pokemon Sun / Moon run slower on a regular 3DS, but yes, not much else...

Battlefield or titanfall 2 (I already own infinite warfare legacy edition) which one is everyone having a better time with?

Don't be a jerk. Donate it to a children's hospital, you can afford to do that.
As someone who isn't usually into shooters, I still think i'd like to pick up one of these, which one? Overwatch, TF2 and BF1.
Leaning more towards Overwatch or TF2. GAF impressions of TF2 campaign seems really good but i'm not sure how much i'd like the multiplayer. Also, I did enjoy the recent free weekend on Overwatch but that's online only. Hmmmm!

I had one in my cart on Best Buy, and it was gone by the time I hit checkout. Then I read all these posts about people getting them when they don't even want them, and it kind of pisses me off.
Especially when they get more than one.
More pissed off at Nintendo than anything, but seriously.

TF2 for sure. It's the best overall package.

TF2 Campaign is superior. I kind of prefer the Battlefield 1 multi but not by much. Both have great multiplayers.

LMAO. Omg, I've never seen that one. Fucking amazing.
TF2 for sure, then Overwatch, then BF1.
Keep in mind, all three are great games. But that would be my recommendation.

Dishonored, Hitman Season 1 and DOOM for $120 feels good through PSN.
Wish I could get digital codes for games off Amazon.

I know, but I'm worried they'll quote me thousands.
They never do anything when you initially show up beyond the initial checkup (any repair work is always a follow-up appointment you have to book), so you're not on the hook for more than 80 bucks or whatever, and then at least you know where you stand. If you don't have dental insurance and they want a small fortune, go to another country where dental work is way cheaper like Japan and get whatever you need there.

I can tell you that all the work I needed, roughly 20 years since my last visit, came out to around $1500. They want to do a bit more work but my insurance maxed out at that so I just have to wait until things reset.
Of course, I don't know your dental situation.
I had two cavities, required two visits for my cleaning and had a wisdom tooth pulled.
They did two examinations as well. One partial and one of the whole mouth with partial x-rays and one complete x-ray.

Also, depending on the dentist, they'll quote you a different price if they know that you don't have insurance. It wouldn't hurt to ask, as far as I'm aware. Go to the dentist!
Wait, how much cheaper is dental work in Japan? Seems like it would need to be a pretty drastic difference to make up for flight and lodging costs.
I was living there and had the national health coverage (80% I think?) and got 10 fillings for 4000 yen ($40CAD at the time). Total. And the dentist apologized for how expensive it was.
So yes, if your mouth ends up royally messed up and requires upwards of "a plane ticket to Japan" amounts of money you might as well get a free trip out of it.

I think I have several cavities plus a chipped tooth. They told me one cavity developed under a previous filling.
I also have light gum disease as far as I know.
I try to brush, but keep putting it off and fall asleep without doing it a lot. Then I get up and go, "Oh, I want to have a Coke. No point in brushing beforehand."
I'm an idiot.
I have basic dental insurance through disability, but I don't know exactly what that covers and a lot of dentists won't take it because the government gips them.
Yeah, that's true. It's basic dental.
When my Mom called our dentist a couple of years ago, they said they'd charge me 2008 or 2010 rates.
