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.

Akala · « **Reply #1 on:** December 27, 2008, 03:00:13 PM »

Um, the link you posted was for $399.

Are you including tax? That's no fun!

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #2 on:** December 27, 2008, 03:01:23 PM »

It was $479 originally

I see there is a special deal online and I got hosed by $20

A round of Golden Tee 2008, and I bought the three club sets as well. I'm slowly becoming a Golden Tee junkie, and there's no rehab...

Just boring old groceries (with the exception of some donairs and more of GilloD's peanut butter

).

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 bought some Gundam art books and the PS1 Char's Counterattack guidebook (only $1) at Book Off in Vancouver today. Everything in the store is 20% off during Boxing Week.

Oh, and, Boxing Day sales are weird. People wait in line to go inside a store to maybe buy something? What the hell?!?

With the state of the economy, maybe we should just make a giant WDYB thread. Seeing these threads only go on a page or so is 2 great 2 depressing.

Went back to BB with a printout and got them to reduce it to $399.99. I should have pushed further since it was a floor model but whatever, I get $20 back

I just bought a bunch of books, but I got a Circuit City gift card for Christmas, but I'm not sure how much is on it. I'm banking on $50.

WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH IT, EVILBORE? I'm thinking maybe Tales of Vesperia, or a couple older 360 games that I didn't pick up earlier.

Icould only bring myself to spend $11 on RB's store today. Everything I want on there adds up to about $100 (plus the money for RB1 and track pack 2), but Ifeel bad spending mony on some mp3's with a chart. seems overpriced. oh well, won't be much longer until I crack and buy all of it.

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.

Actual stealth gameplay (unlike the awesome pseudo-stealth gameplay in the first game)? Check

Ratchet series was always the most consistent with quality, it's just that no single game in that series was as good as Jak 1 or Sly 1

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.
