Title: What Did You Buy - 12/27/2008 through 12/31/2008
Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on December 27, 2008, 02:46:54 PM: Got this TV today:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8742872&type=product&id=1202648988086

For the lazy, a 22" LCD 720p TV

I got a floor model that was priced at $419.99

LOL if you must at a 22" TV but this is all I need right now and the price I'm willing to pay. In 2010 when I'll probably buy a much larger TV, this one can go in the bedroom.

I made an attempt to go and use my Future Shop gift card after work last night, but I lacked the fortitude to wade through all the crazies, plus the shelves at that point were mostly barren.

I got it for $2, it's more of a collector/OCD thing if anything, I like buying RPG guides. Sucks that it's missing a ton of content, especially since the BradyGames IU guide was pretty good.

Frag, let me know what you think of X3: Terran Conflict. I was thinking about getting it from reading the thread on it at Something Awful but I'm still not sure. I have X3: The Reunion but I never got into it because of the interface. I read that TC makes the game so much better and easier to play.
