OK, its almost midnight. Most stores are closed.

What did you bastards get?

 

[Muse]

Never left the property but made my first ever BF purchase, an SSD from tigerdirect. It is my first purchase from them although I was already registered there. So far I have been totally unable to hit the linked site to download the rebate form. I get absolutely interminable tab saying "waiting for www.4myrebate.com..." It's frustrating and strikes me as a total scam. They make it so hard to get your rebate they make money by virtue of a significant percentage of their customers giving up. I'll get the motherfuckers, so help me...

Damn good deal on a great laptop, specs?

12.5", i3 2367M, 4GB DDR3, 500GB HDD, HD3000, 6-cell

Got online for some Infinity Primus speakers and a BIC sub for my home theater.

Went to the stores at midnight to get a few not big ticket items and had no problem getting them. It was busy but no stupidity was on display.

 

[BrokenVisage]

I spent entirely too much money on myself today lol, without even leaving the house.

 

[thecrecarc]

Sony playstation 24 inch 1080p 3D HDTV for $99, bundled with a game, glasses, n stuff. It was an impulse buy, not exactly sure what I am going to do with it.

 

[Muse]

Photoshop lightroom 4 is on sale for $79.99 at Amazon and Newegg.

I guess that's a good deal. Is Lightroom 4 better than Lightroom 3? The "most helpful negative review" of Lightroom 4 at Amazon says it's waaaaay slower than Lightroom 3.

 

[LOL_Wut_Axel]

Although I worked at the store for 12 hours, I had a good Black Friday. I was able to snag a Vertex 3 120GB for $50 ($0.42/GB) and a Barracuda 3TB for $90 ($0.03GB/dollar).

 

[Muse]

I ain't buy shit cuz I was waiting all day for UPS to show up with my replacement Nexus 4.
lol, the tracking info still says it's coming tonight.

F'ing jerks.

I did that a couple of weeks ago. Waited and waited... finally at 8:00PM (about 3 hours after dark), I decide they aren't coming and I go to my bedroom and close the door. Within a minute or two (really) I think I hear the sound of a vehicle, maybe a truck. I think "it's almost for sure just my imagination that it's them, and it's a wild goose chase going downstairs and checking." I open the front door and my boxes are on the porch! I had just checked not 5 minutes before. Next time I think I'll just forget about it. Noone's ever stolen a package left for me by a delivery service or the USPS. Why sweat it?

Edit: oops

 

[bigrash]

Not really Black Friday, but I had preordered a Wii U and got it and set it up. Also bought a couple remotes and controller.

Also bought a 24 port gigabit managed switch for like 100 bucks off ebay. A steal! Even if it's a Dell, it's still half decent.

I have to stop spending money now. Thankfully today was pay day so the credit card is paid off at least.

How do you like that Wii U?

I sweat it because now I have to pay them $5 to have it redirected to my workplace. I can't keep taking days off work to get items.

I have no idea if it's even in a warehouse so I can just go pick it up.

 

[Muse]

Got 10 of the $88 3TB Seagate externals and the $179 42" TV from Amazon.
Also managed to snag two of the $299 Samsung Series 3 ultrabooks from the MS store.

Those HDs now appear to be $99.99.

If it's an Amazon.com package, have you considered using their locker delivery service?

It's straight from Google. The only saving grace is I already have a device from them that I can keep using until the new one arrives. Still, I have the urge to root and ROM the thing, but want to keep it stock for the return.

BTW, Nexus 4's are riddled with problems. Anyone considering buying one should stay away until they work the bugs out.

 

[jpeyton]

My Black Friday started last Friday. I picked up two black rifles and about 3000 rounds of ammunition.

Overall much better than last year.

That sucks, guess I'll wait for Nexus 5 and Android 5.0 next year.

I could go for that, but it's out of stock. I could really use a very small windows portable... cheap. I saw one last night (probably NOT cheap), a Sony Vaio, the screen looked to by about 4" x 8" no trackpad, just a mouse nub. I think it would work for what I want it for.

 

[Auric]

I looked everywhere for an Italian Greyhound leather sofa to no avail.

I always look at the Frys ads. The closest is around 35 miles, though.

Maybe wait until the second run.

In stock form, my phone overheats and throttles within 4-5 minutes, reboots like crazy, loses Wi-Fi (which only comes back after toggling wi-fi on/off a few times) and has a weird flicker when using the camera.

Screen is also not as sharp as I expected it to be, but I think it's because there is dust under my screen and glue is raised in certain areas. It's gotten better, but the dust is pissing me off.

 

[Muse]

I washed my black slacks for black friday, both pairs, mowed the lawn, watched No Country for Old Men, read the newspaper.

 

[sixone]

Went to Slumberland (first mistake) to get a deal on a sofa/loveseat combo. There was no one available to sell one to me, so I had time to decide that it really wasn't what I wanted to spend my money on. So I went and bought some clothes at half price.

Then I came home and ordered a new futon frame online. Didn't get the drawers.

 

[boomhower]

I worked it, spent 7P-4A trying to keep everyones limbs attached at walmart with general success, damn shame it takes four cops to keep order at a walmart because people can't act right. Anywho, had the wife pick up the Troy AR15 at Dick's. Other than that just a bunch of toys, video games, etc. for the kids.
