TheRevanchist Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 WalMart ad is out today! Not that I would go, because I place value on life and humanity, but the deals are tempting. I need a replacement DSiXL, and those are $99. On the other front, they have some movies for cheap on DVD. I laughed when I saw The Green Lantern for $1.96 and The Smurfs for $4.96. LOL! The Green Lantern was a shitty movie! Brave is on Blu Ray for $8.96. That's a good deal. The Lorax is the same price, but it was a pile-o'-poop. They have the Nook Color for $99, as well.

TheRevanchist Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 What the fuck is Old Navy doing sellin Wii U's? And why are you so damn handsome, like a young Tom Selleck? Excellent questions! But, I will only answer one. Whatever gets the hype out to get people in the store. I went to Old Navy one year, just to get a deal on a LEGO game that was released, where you buy $20 worth of merchandise and you get a copy of the game free. Only available to the first 60 people in the store, as they had 60 copies. Turns out I was person #63 in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) Did you still buy the clothes? I wish there were a Black Friday in Canada. I don't like going to stores, but there are some great on-line deals. Unfortunately, either most retailers in the States do not ship to Canada or the cost of shipping outweighs the savings.

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I usually go later in the day for the DVDs. Got a bunch of Seinfeld seasons last year for $7/pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRevanchist Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I bought one shirt. It was $7, so was a good deal. If I remember correctly, I then went to Sears after that. The most fun I had though was when Mervyn's was still around. I got some sheets and clothes and all kinds of gifts for dirt cheap. I had a picture of the people I was with looking half asleep and miserable in line. I loved that picture! Sadly, the picture died with that phone. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pirate Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Black Friday, the day you trample children and bring mace to Macy's the day after giving thanks for everything you have. 'MERICA! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 This will sound silly, but now that the Target ad scans are in color, my suspicion was correct. The Target "exclusive" you see on the PS3 controller meant that it was a red colored transparent controller. A little peeve I have about console controllers is that I can't have three controllers. It's either two or four controllers. Probably stems from my N64 days when, as a hallmark four player console, I only had three controllers and so a friend would sit out while three of us play. Typically I would get some third party controller though, and that's how MadCatz became infamous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRevanchist Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 So, get the deal and sell the controller you don't want. You have an even greater net value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 So, get the deal and sell the controller you don't want. You have an even greater net value. I'll be selling the games at the least since I do have the Uncharted and Infamous series, but it can't hurt to have four controllers. I'll be getting a brand spanking new one with the bundle, so I guess I could try to sell my first one. Just... the transparent red is calling out to me! (And at $40.)

TheMightyEthan Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 You remember when the smoky transparent N64s were the coolest thing ever? Those were awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Yep, pretty much. I had the Fire Orange console myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRevanchist Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 At GS right now. The crowd in front of me are cool and put together. Overall, the crowd has a lot in common and can talk games. I've heard some new friends being made. Very cool. Still a dipshit or two in the crowd. One kid has been running around in the parking lot while cars are driving around. Parents must be real winners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I did all of my Black Friday shopping online, and if anything, if I didn't get my PS3 from Best Buy earlier this week, I had multiple options this year. I guess though that the perk of going to an actual retail store is instant gratification because my items won't arrive until a week... hopefully. If I had more money, I would get the "crimson red" controller at Target. Still, I got the #1 item and a great 3DS game along with a new carrying case for the 3DS.

Mr. GOH! Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) Went to a midnight Gamestop opening in Manhattan to get my $200 PS3. In and out in 20 minutes. The line was short, but slow. There were a three families ahead of me who were stocking up on video games for the next year it seems, buying 20 or so different games for their teen and pre-teen kids (who were also there, annoyingly). Two of the families were the East Coast version of rednecks. What they were doing at the Upper West Side Manhattan Game Stop is a mystery to me. No one bought a Wii U, which they had in stock.

Saturnine Tenshi Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 You sound like you're reporting back to headquarters in that post, GOH. xD What is the East Coast version of rednecks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRevanchist Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 People from Jersey, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Haha. I just always thought people from the south (yet still on the coast) were considered rednecks. I suppose he could mean upper east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) This is the Black Friday HQ, isn't it? I dunno. Rednecks without the southern/western redneck accents. They may have been from Jersey, but they weren't the Jersey Shore kind of tasteless. Lotsa NASCAR gear, sweatpants, and mullets. No ability to control their wilding kids. Seemed kind of stupid from their in-line chatter. The city folks with me in line thought the two redneck families were hilarious or bewildering. Edited November 23, 2012 by Mr. GOH!

TheRevanchist Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Since it's getting close, here is a link to find some good deals on games for Black Friday. http://slickdeals.net/f/6421816-black-friday-gaming-deals-video-games-master-thread-the-last-of-us-25-xbox-4gb-console-99-battlefield-4-360-25-many-more I've got a backlog that will keep me satisfied for a while. So, this year, I'm seeking gifts for others. And maybe some new jeans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
