Gateway Pentium Dual Core Laptop w/1GB RAM, Windows Vista Home Premium & DVD burner for $400 (after "instant savings"). That sounds nice.

Yeah, that first site has NSFW adds. Might want to put a warning.

edit: In fact, that 2nd link requires you to install some stupid download manager.

Can someone please upload these to a normal pic hosting site?

megaupload does not require a download manager.

Then why does it ask my if I want to install their software when I click the download button?

Crusty-enter 3 letter code on top, wait 45 seconds, click free download. No download manager needed.

The Gateway should be here.

Keep in mind Best Buy has recently started to screw the customer with regional pricing. There was a Compaq this past week priced at $400 in an ad that was widely circulated online, but in-store it was priced at $450 for much of the country.

I was clicking on the big "Download Now" button, because I wanted to download the file that was linked too. The OTHER download button for teh actual file is much smaller and less noticeable.

Either way, that site sucks IMO. Would be much nicer to have this stuff hosted on pics.bbzzdd or any other picture hosting site. Especially since the first link has porn ads on it without a NSFW warning.

I'm angry at Nintendo for not making enough Wii's. They had a year to get this right and it's ridiculous that it's still so hard to get. In all this time, I have never seen a Wii in a store where you could just pick up and take to the cash register.

How aboust some cheese to go with that Whine? Freaking WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Why be mad at Nintendo? They are in the business to make money. If they over produce they lose money. Excericse your right and be angry and not buy a Wii, the next guy in line behind you will be very happy he got one.

Not to threadjack but . . . Nintendo basically proved it's better to be good AND lucky. It would be corporate suicide from Nintendo to build excess capacity for producing Wiis. The people desperate for Wiis will wait in line regardless. The rest of us will wait until its convenient. Either way, Nintendo is going to get there's.

Best Buy loves it too, because people will show up EVERY week trying to get a Wii. Invariably, they will spend more money than they intended which is exactly how BB likes it.

Went to buy a couple of hddvds since they're B1G1 but a lot of them were sold out at the best buy close to me. Another guy was complaining to the manager because they didn't have the movies he wanted either so someone checked in the back and they said they didn't have them. As soon as I got home (about 10 minutes later) I decided to check online and saw that the ones that I wanted were available for instore pick-up. I guess they really had them somewhere in the store.

Will try again today at the location by my work. Thanks for the links OP.

I guess I was dumb and lucky. Decided to buy a Wii one day walked into a store, bought a Wii and walked out. Maybe do your Christmas shopping earlier? Bought mine about 2 months ago. Why wait till December to get one, when you know consoles are hard to get this close to Christmas.

Why not order them online for instore pickup? or just online for free shipping?
