Not bad, but I prefer OCZ's, or Intel :D

Panasonic 42inch LCD (L42U25)
Sony BDP S570


The LCD replaced a 26inch 4:3 HD CRT and wow what a difference.

None. I'm at home enjoying doing nothing. Well I lied, I brought in the rest of the boxes from the garage, unpacked a few, and now my wife and kids are setting up the tree.

A lot of people had issues with drives failing when the last time they did this deal. I ended up getting the Intel 120 GB drive for $165.

Went out and looked at fridges. Wasn't really impressed with anything I saw. Anybody have a recommendation for a french door stainless fridge?

I just picked up Fable 3 for $30 on Amazon. Pretty good deal. I wish I could find Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood for $40 or less or a good deal on Black Ops for PC. Not that I have time to even play the games I already own.

Ordered Fallout New Vegas for the PS3 for $35 shipped from Amazon and got a 16GB iPod Nano for my wife for Christmas with engraving that was $21 off direct from Apple.

I'd jump on a good deal for Dead Rising 2 for the PS3 if I could find one. Looks like Amazon had it at $35 also but I missed out on it.

I've been trying for days to find a killer deal on a Gymnic Rody Horse for my 17 month old son.

We went to a friends house that had one and he LOVED it but holy shit it's over priced IMO. $40 for the "horse" and another $40 for the damn rocking base. Insane expensive for what it is IMO.

What makes it the hardest to find a deal on is apparently it's Italian and not sold in physical stores in the USA.

What res? 1920x1200? They're an endangered species now. :(

Prefer 1920x1200 but 1920x1080 will do. I love my Dell 24" IPS 1920x1200 at work but its a little pricey at $600. I would like an IPS monitor but don't need it as it will be mostly used for gaming

My Haul (over the past two days)

2x LOTR Trilogy Bluray (Target) - $20 Shipped for both
1.5 TB WD External (Staples) - $20 shipped Staples canceled it... lame.
Modnation Racers & Forza 3 Ultimate (Amazon) - $25 Shipped (Modnation was $25, Forza $30, but I had $30 in credit, so it counts :) )
Puzzle Quest 2 (Steam) - $3.50
Indie Story Pack (Steam) - $5
Blurays (Walmart) - Silence of the Lambs $5, I Robot $5, Battle of Britain $8
The Simpsons Season 7 (Amazon) - $13

I think that's it, unless I'm forgetting something.

All my shopping was done online except for walmart. I didn't get up early though, walked in at 10am.

I ended up buying a $1.99 screw driver set (30 piece), a $4.99 stick of 2GB DDR3 1333 Ram and another at $14.99 (2nd account with no coupon). No use yet but I'm sure I'll build something around them soon enough.

Also bought my daughter a pair of Ugg boots.

Not the best of years in my opinion for deals.

I'd love to have one of those screens, but it's just out of my budget. ($0) Sigh. :/ The woes of being a student.

got need for speed hot pursuit for $35 (had tons of copies everywhere, but i bought it online for the same price and skipped the line).

also scored a western digital 1TB elements drive for $69 at target. best thing is that its a laptop drive, much cheaper than online even for the bare drive. i even went to target around 8AM and they had about 20 of the drives left.

overall, the deals sucked this year - nothing really stood out. good thing i didnt camp out this time.

Woohoo, a buddy of mine in Seattle said she'd accept my Amazon order, so I bought ~$170 worth of Blu's! Yay! :awe:
