you can buy a bluRay player off amazon for $99 atm.

Bluray drive or bluray player? Big difference. Also, shipping. I'm impatient.

Think about your in-laws and reconsider that statement.


What I'm saying is if you'd rather spend a day with your relatives than do...shit, anything really, then fine. But you're an anomaly.

I don't have in-laws to deal with, but seriously, you dislike your family/SO that much that you have no qualms with just foregoing the holiday altogether? I think you're the anomaly. I may not get along with my family all the time, but I only get to really see them a few times a year so I'll take that over saving a couple bucks on something.

So you define quality time with the family as one day out of the whole year?

Drive

And does the OP not know any students or have friends with college students? Office for $10.
 
I can't wait for the plethora of clips on youtube, break.com and elsewhere of the stampedes. :laugh:
 
there was an ordly line at BB in Milpitas/San Jose @ 5:15AM.
Looked to be over 500 people standing along the sidewalk with some already in the store
Plus people still walking from cars in the outlying lots.

Yesterday noon, there were about 20 people w/ tents in line.

Or a hobby. Fvck, even if you have no family, it's really worth 12 hours in line to save a few hundred bucks? Get a job or something, dayum, or a better pastime!

Everbody I know in school who might provide me with a copy of Office, is already using their one allowed copy.

Anyway, I got what I wanted. LG BRD drive, Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5892 laptop, CnC3 deluxe edition and Transformers BRD.

Damn, you guys are some heartless SOB's. Not everyone is making 100k+ a year like most of ATOT. Saving a few hundred for 12 hours work is well worth it for a lot of people.

Instead of condemning, you should give thanks that you are one of them.

$200 / 12 hrs = $16/hr

Not exactly 100K per year.
