The 2014 Black Friday/Cyber Monday Thread: Don't get stomped please

I think 2-3 weeks is standard for big TVs. I haven’t ordered one from amazon but when I bought my 50 inch a couple years ago it took almost 2 weeks and I didn’t get solid tracking until it showed up at my door. Reason being they hand the TV off to a 3rd party shipper that delivers locally. So speed and info depend on the company they use.

I received my tv in the mail yesterday and it was a cyber monday deal :/. Although for some reason it said on fedex that it was delivered and left outside of my door on Wednesday. I rushed home as soon as I saw that and it wasn’t there. Checked with the apartment leasing office and they didn’t know anything about it. Then out of now where it mysteriously shows up at my place the next day. I’m glad I got it though.

My laptop just took the shitter and I was looking for a new one but I REALLY don’t want windows 8…is there any other choice for me right now?

What is that a motel 6?

Hey, if I’m ever in your neck of the woods, is it okay if I come live in there for a couple days? Looks roomy enough.

Seriously. You could rent the space as a 3 bedroom.

Just FYI for anyone still looking for a WiiU, Target is gonna have the 3d world bundle for $250 starting next week.

whats the 3d world bundle? it comes with nintendo DS 3d too ??

32GB WiiU with Mario 3D World and Nintendoland. Honestly $250 was the price they should’ve been on BF. Pretty sure they would’ve sold like crazy.

If you don’t mind refurbished the Nintendo store has the 32GB WiiU and Nintendoland for $200 right now with the standard 1 year warranty.

*I’m just seeing this question now @Kashiyukasthighs‌

What do you need out of the new laptop you’ll be purchasing? If it’s something you’ll be carrying around with you or will it primarily be in one place? What’s your budget like? What type of work will you be doing on it?*

To put it bluntly, I have no interest for gaming.

I’m only going to use the laptop for school/music/word processing/watching videos, pretty much. But I really don’t want windows 8, shits more complicated than it needs to be.

I forgot to mention, I do use Adobe Audition/Photoshop pretty frequently, but this current laptop I have (3 years old and i5 cpu) handles everything exceptionally fine. I have $600 to drop on a laptop.

Once I really looked around and not coming across any Vita deals or even seeing a respectable selection of games/units readily available I figured that Sony must have the vita on life support. So I got a “New” Nintendo 3DS for about half off after all the discounts. Sorry Sony.

If you still have a Windows 7 os disk then you can straight up install it on whatever laptop you buy. I read that you can also downgrade from windows 8 pro and windows 8.1 pro back down to Windows 7. But there’s a certain process for that, plus you’d still need a Windows 7 OS disk.

I’ve been looking for laptops that meet your criteria within your price range and most of them are refurbs. There’s an Acer Aspire and an Asus model that meet your criteria, both of them new, but they’re heavy at 5.5 and 5.1 pounds respectively. That’s heavy for you to be logging around with you from school and back, unless your last laptop was around that weight. *

If you guys are still looking for a Wii U. Check your local targets, that 250 deluxe bundle is already sold out online. You can probably also price match at best buy.

Damn man I guess I’m out of options.

At this point I think I’m going to get a wind8 laptop and put a linux distro on it, probably Mint since I used that like 5 years ago comfortably. Hopefully this UEFI shit won’t be much trouble.

You don’t have a Win7 code just lying around? Geez, I have at least 3 for my PC and laptops.

I have built many computers in my lifetime, and nothing bothers me more than seeing a person who is tech savvy have a complete disregard for proper cable management!

Nice rig though…

I just heard about this and I’m seriously considering it.

What really interests me about WiiU is that the games just seem “fun”. No ultra-realistic shooter crap or hardcore open world games (not that either of those are bad), just old-school, fun games that you can invite some friends over, order pizza and rock out for hours on.
