Board 8 > Black Friday Topic.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Walked into Best Buy about 45 minutes after they opened and snagged a PS4, Horizon and Assassin's Creed. Had to wait about 20 minutes to check out, but still a pretty painless experience!

i jumped on the ASUS modem. $50 w/$10 rebate, i'm in. bluetooth thing i was tempted on but i always am. only to conclude i'm not using anything bluetooth at home.

I don't have any bluetooth devices either, but it doesn't hurt to have in case I want to try using one. My desktop doesn't have bluetooth capabilities, and I'm solving that for $3.

Okay looks like I'm getting the 4k, and two of the $109 27 inch spectres.

Overall the spectres comes about even with the staples deal as the better port coverage and coming with cables means I'm saving a good chunk on converters and cables. I'm okay with this.

Great, I just called T-Mobile support about my mobile data problems the last week, and the rep told me that my phone is incompatible with the new mobile upgrades they recently rolled out. Woulda been nice to know before I'm hours behind everyone else on the Black Friday shopping. Walmart has a Galaxy S7 for $300, but I'm sure that's sold everywhere. =/

Lots of xbl for $40 so far but that's a normal sales price.

Assassin's Creed Origins on x1 is 29 at jet.com

also may get a PS4 stick if anyone knows anything

The wait between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is too long when you get your BF shopping done on Wednesday. Obviously CM should start on Saturday to compensate.

according to my emails black friday started at 12am on Thursday. Had one email declare it cyber Monday deals week on Sunday.

It is a large grey area.

Also Cyber Monday has generally sucked more and more starting a few years ago.

yeah, cyber monday is an excuse to sell other stock so they don't blow their loads on black friday.
as are the next 2 weeks.

...meanwhile i'm now annoyed that one of the two PS4 SRW games is out of print on the Asia version with English. guess i'm picking up SRW V before it's too late.
---

Hey if CM gets me a discount on a Switch when BF offered nothing, then it's still good in my book.

Good ol' Walmart did that thing they occasionally do where they accidentally make every SKU of their games/movies be on sale instead of just the ones specifically meant for it, so I picked up some blu-rays this morning that I probably should have had no business getting so late by just getting them off the shelf in electronics

GotG2, Logan, and Wonder Woman.

The ones they set out in the displays on sale have their own UPCs, so that when they run out of the 5-6 or so they got, that's supposed to be it. But Walmart often accidentally just discounts every SKU of those movies/games, so you can often just go back to electronics and get them off the shelf and they'll ring up the "doorbuster" price

I never bother waking up early for Walmart anymore if I don't want anything special. I just roll in about 10:30-11 and do that
---

yeah, the internet has been great for that. i went to bed late and got up at noon, already knowing i didn't have anything i was particularly after.

besides super robot wars games in english.
which only V still is in print.
in unrelated news, i'm to create an indonesian PSN account soon. >__>

not in my region, but thats pretty surprising. ^5 to that store imo

quiet day i see.

Frys Electronics just put up an i5 7600k for $150. If you are looking to make a budget (Intel) build, you aren't really going to do better than that.

in store only, if you live in an area near one.
---

Fry's is one of those stores that always has great deals but has the WORST website possible.
always frustrates me to the point where i just fuck off. but if you got one nearby, always check it out this time of year, some amazing stuff.
---

cyber monday stuff starting to roll out and... surprising sale with newegg:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16868110237&ignorebbr=1

the LE PS4 with COD:WW2 is $200.

So just to clarify, Target's Cyber Monday is the best chance for a discounted Switch, right? Only because they apparently do 15% off everything? Because I also get 5% cash back for Target purchases too, so that would be nice. What are the odds it would sell out there too?
---

MicroSD card deals still up or going live tomorrow?

Looking for two, cheap and good.

Nope. They released an exclusion list. Xbox One X, Nintendo Switch, all Nintendo Hardware, and Switch games were excluded.

Target is lame.

They released the exclusion list today. Nobody could have foreseen that.
---

Then it's a good thing I bought a Switch while at Walmart yesterday on the off-chance Target wouldn't work (with the intent of returning it if I can get a discount later).

>_>
---

Well then.

Is there another way anyone can try Switch for less than $300?

eBay possibly could have a deal. Nintendo's notorious refusal to have sales on its products really makes it hard to find it cheaper. Nintendo has kept me off their consoles for generations by not having sales.

i think im gonna buy this bad boy treadmill

body shop has changed their deal finally.
buy 3 get 3 free - meh
40% off storewide - meh
50% off select products - now we're on to the standard.
they didn't do a 3 for $30 sale this year (yet?) and the seasonal stuff hasn't gone on sale yet but hey. they changed a lot up over the past year.
---

Body Shop has been my go-to for female gifts the last few years, but their Black Friday tote bag this year seemed horrible. Only six products in it. I might keep checking in case they bust out the good deals, as my gf/mom/sister all love their crap.

Also, dumbest question of the topic, but there are absolutely no Switch sales out there, right?
---

the best was Meijer, which had a $30 GC.
if you're going for Switch + pro controller + Mario Odyssey + minor freebie or two, there are bundles that are $440+ but that's not really worth it.

cashbacks and checkout discounts are the best ones right now.
---

Body shop didn't look like up my alley. Is there a place to shop for females other than Victoria secret? Not liking a lot of the shit I see on there right now either.
---

Thanks for the Body Shop mention, I'm terrible at buying gifts for the wife, and she eats that shit up.
---

body shop's my go to for female stuff and frankly some of it is good period. that tea tree oil is super good, their butters and creams are nice, their shampoo and conditioner are... okay. i've got great hair so i'm biased to trying some of their stuff but i've found that mixing the body butter with the tea tree oil makes for a nice blend for the hair too. the vitamin c stuff, while expensive, is also pretty incredible... though i tend to wait for more significant discounts on 'em (e.g., 3 for $30 last year is where i got mine).

they've just been kinda shit this year with the sales. the select 50% off sales were part of the two-part standard: 3 for $30 in BF, 50% off select items for cyber monday, and a few weeks later they start clearing out the holiday stuff. on top of that they used to have certain offers like $15 off $75 and 10% off shop your body members, right now i don't think either of those exists and they changed membership styles. on the sales sequence this year: the first didn't happen, the second thankfully did, and 2/3 of their holiday stuff are repeat flavors i think, though vanilla chai was pretty nice. but i always keep an eye on 'em this season, even if i'm just shopping for myself at this point.

fortunately they still get 5% via chase cashbacks so i can use that.
if you want expensive female stuff, sephora tends to be used but i don't use that.
if you were looking for more uh... normal stuff, walgreens just finished a nice enough sale on shampoos/conditioners, i just have way too much still from last year for most of it. not sure what amazon's situation is, amazon pantry had some nice things over the past 2-3 days. both are basically "see what coupons still exist."
---

I don't really want expensive stuff perse. I want clothing that is as good in style as Victoria secrets. Like the boyfriend pants and hoodies or sweaters with nice designs. I mean, is there even any other realistic option?
---

oh if it's clothing i haven't a clue. mom never shopped for that on black friday, i've had no reason to buy it ever, so women's clothing or designer stuff is as far a world from me as you'll get.
---

I like the Body Shop rec. I'll probably use that.

Anyone have any ideas on the best place to get party games online come tomorrow? The girlfriend and I were trying to find discounted ones with little luck when we went out today.
---

am I going to find a better sale than 33% off on XBONE controllers that Best Buy has right now for Cyber Monday?

I feel I finally need a proper PC controller
