Black Fucking Friday

- Start date
I stood in line on Thursday at walmart for a PS4 and didn't get it. I was bitter and got an Xbox one so I wouldn't come home empty handed.
I said fuck it last night and went on ebay and bought a launch edition from this guy for $660 (He's got 6 left) - Legit as fuck seller.
Sony PlayStation 4 PS4 Console Launch Day Edition 400082401038 | eBay
Thanks i might give ebay a shot. I dont mind paying a higher price if i can get one soon.
Somewhat, lol.
I got in before they raised the prices up for the 50% off thing.
+ They forgot to disable the clearance section and turn off BOGO.
So I got 50% off, another 50% off and .. Almost* got the BOGO too but was like 2 min late. Waited too long to make up my mind and checkout, and they updated my cart.
Next year I'm going to load up my cart right before they post BF deals, and check out asap the moment they do.
Did pretty good. Waiting for Cyber monday though.
...
I've been watching Express for years though, it's my favorite store. Throughout the year you can get 40% off anything with coupon codes at regular prices. These BF prices are jacked up though, so the current 50% is a stretch for being a bargain.. Needs to hit 75-80% to be a "real sale".
I hate shopping, but my main computer is 3 yrs old now so decided to get another. I wasted the whole day picking out shit and here's what I ended up with. My brain is officially fried between NewEgg, Amazon, Tom's Hardware, and other reviews. But I think i got some decent deals.
Btw, I think that SSD is a serious deal at Amazon right now if anyone is looking for one that's 250gb.

I just bought two of these a couple of weeks ago.
You're going to love it if you're upgrading from something with a lower resolution like 1920x1080 or whatever. Huge difference.
Retail sales were down 12%. Online sales were up aprox 30%. I attribute the online sales increase to better systems and optimization. Retail sales suffered from extra payroll and a split black Friday. Today will tell a more accurate story for my retail sales.
I was thinking of getting two. But I guess I'll test one out first. Since '08 I've used an Acer 1920x1200 LCD and could never switch to a higher quality 1920x1080 even after trying several times - it's just too nice having the extra screen space. After I get the 2560x1440 I prob wont be able to downgrade res either.
