I suck at life.


I already have anything there I would really want:

plasma, xbox 360, camera, ipod, gps, vacuum, lcd, nice mouse/keyboard, nice printer, nice home stereo, nice car stereo

what else? The only thing I could think of is kitchen appliances, but mine all work fine, and $500 isn't enough to replace them all

use it on 360 accessories and games. thats what i'd do instead of making a thread and complaining about $500 at best buy!

how about doing something charitable with it...? buy a bunch of fans for shelters without AC, how about an appliance for a shelter...etc

you seem to be very well off in life, and clearly not grateful...as a 500 dollar gift card bores you...

Do something nice for someone else who could use it...trust me on this...the result will make you feel better than buying some POS superflous electronic device that you will become bored with within 2 weeks

A good power conditioner also improves sound fidelity and sometimes cable picture clarity.

Please don't tell us you believe that...

Actually if you think about it, if the electricity in your house is at a different hz then the appliance is designed for and you tune the electricity to the right specs, it should theoretically improve things. Right....? Anybody have a link to this or something...
