Additional Features * 5-in-1 memory card reader * 6 Cell battery for an average of 2.5 hours of battery life * Two USB 2.0 ports 2.5 hours, is that even very long? ...and only TWO USB ports? That is hardly enough for ME. Not sure what a 5in1 Memory Card Reader is.

That is hardly enough for ME. Not sure what a 5in1 Memory Card Reader is. Five in one memory card reader is for camera etc. cards. Namely SD, Micro SD, etc. My computer has like... 12 or 13 something. Honestly, most of them are useless as noone really uses Compact Flash and stuff. They can also easily be added with a USB adaptor for $5 or $10. Two USB ports is a little weak. If you want a mouse well... you have to switch everything out or else buy a 4 in one adaptor and HOPE the stuff you're using doesn't need a "strong" power connection. Still, for $250 it looks like a good deal. ...If you wanna wait around. Oh, I hit up Dollar General today for their Thanksgiving Day sale. I snagged a Kellogg's Cornflakes shirt in Japanese for $3 and the last four packs of fifty cent GE light bulbs they were had on display (they were all 75W). The screen-printed shirts are on sale til Saturday if anyone's interested. They differ store to store and some are lame, but $3 is a pretty good deal and most stores I've seen had the Kellogg's shirts. I got a blue Frosted Flakes one a year or so a go for $6.

I'm trying to enjoy the savings online, but the shipping is what's getting me. Why should I be excited about a few $5 DVDs when they keep tacking on another 3 bucks apiece for shipping (probably not quite that much, but y'know)? If they're sending me 3 DVDs, why can't they just put them all in one package and send it for the one shipping cost?

If they're sending me 3 DVDs, why can't they just put them all in one package and send it for the one shipping cost? I hear that. I just bought some DVDs from Best Buy online and was kinda hoping to be able to pick them up in-store so I wouldn't have to pay shipping. I bought the first season of Eastbound and Down, Role Models, Behind The Mask and the 20th Anniversary Edition of Hellraiser for about $36. The thing is, about $10 of that was shipping. Yeah, they do shipping costs for each item instead of total, which sucks. I probably would've added the collector's edition of Taxi Driver as well if the shipping costs weren't so crazy. Anyway, got back from Meijer to get some $10 Skullcandy earbuds (normally about $16) in addition to those DVDs. I'm hoping that Office Max does their sale online too so I can pick up a spindle of DVD-Rs and an 8GB MicroSD card for my phone, or else I'll have to get up early tomorrow (though not too early, Office Max doesn't open until 7am). And thanks for the Dollar General t-shirt deal. I might stop by, hoping that they have a Tony The Tiger shirt so I can finally dress up as Tourette's Guy for Halloween!

Amazon.com is doing free shipping on orders over $30 or so I believe. I bought almost $40 worth already this morning and was shipping free. If that helps anyone.

I'm avoiding all this "Black Friday" madness by staying in, where it's possibly safer, and listening to "Black Sunday".

So, I went to OfficeMax.com after midnight last night (technically this morning as it was the beginning of Black Friday) but the 8GB MicroSD card I wanted wasn't being marked down. Worse yet, the spindle of blank DVDs I wanted wasn't able to be put in a cart for whatever reason. So about a quarter till 1:00, I gave up and looked around elsewhere online. Went to Amazon where the MicroSD card was about $2-$3 more, but had free shipping on orders over $25, whereas Office Max's free shipping was $50, which I wouldn't have reached if I was only gonna buy the card and the DVDs. But as I looked for a few things for my family members, I ended up spending more on myself yet again, with a total of $73! And I still didn't get the DVDs!
After I was done at Amazon, I checked back on Office Max. Sure enough, the SD Card was marked down and the DVDs were available for purchase. Ugh. So, I decided to wake up at 6:30 so I could get to Office Max at 7 when they opened to pick up the DVDs. It was a bit chaotic but considering I only got 1 thing, I was in and out of the store in 20 minutes and back in bed by 7:30. But I was glad I went in early as, unless they had a big display somewhere, they didn't have all that many DVD spindles out. There were probably 2 left on the shelf by the time I got mine.
Anyways, here's my grand total of swag: Eastbound and Down: Season 1 Role Models Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon Hellraiser: 20th Anniversary Edition Total @ Best Buy = $36 ($10 being shipping)
8GB MicroSD Card Midnight Meat Train Madworld for Wii House of the Dead: Overkill for Wii GI Joe DVD for Stepdad My Word Coach for DS for Mom Total @ Amazon = $73 (Would've been $10 for shipping, which is weird considering I got more at Amazon than at Best Buy)
Skullcandy Earbuds ($10 at Meijer) 100 Pack of Blank DVDs ($15 at Office Max)
Grand Total = About $135
Way more than I planned on spending but I got a ton of stuff for it, especially considering the SDCard and the DVDs were about $50-$60 each originally. Factor in about $15-$20 for each DVD and game, maybe more in some cases, and I saved a ton of money.

That is an awesome list for that price wow...My total came to about 325 and I got a Laptop, a Tom Tom, and 10 mega pixel digital cam...I was pretty happy with the price

I just got back, I didn't get too much.
Dragon Age: Origins 360 34.99 @ Best Buy
Batman: Arkham Asylum 360 37.00 @ Target
The Godfather II 10.00 PS3 @ Walmart
I know Godfather 2 isnt considered all that great, but I thought it was worth 10 bucks, so I'm happy with my haul.

Did most of my shopping online throughout the week at Amazon.
Picked up: The Shining Drag Me to Hell Friday the 13th (2009) X-Men Origins: Wolverine Transformers 2 GI Joe Elf Fast and Furious Hancock Land of the Dead.
All of these DVDs were less than $10, plus with their trial membership, I get free 2 day shipping. So I'm pretty happy with my purchases. Also managed to get Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1. I got really lucky with Amazon this year, price matching most stuff.

I hit up CVS and Dollar General (again) today, as my sister wanted to check out the $12 Emerson mp3 players they had (she ended up buying the two they had left). She found Family Guy Volume 5 previously viewed at CVS for $5.99.
I ended up getting a Wing Man t-shirt for $3 and on the way out, found a pair of boxers in the 50% off clearance bin (which is always full of crap people tried to steal... oddly enough, all that was wrong with the boxers were the hole to hang them on ripped.) So they were $2.50
I may hit up K-Mart tomorrow to check out their clearance games and see if they have any $3.99 DVDs left.

I'm really annoyed right now cause my mom and sister woke me up at 4 AM to watch my little sister so they could go shopping. So they leave and come back a few minutes later because the parking lot of Target was full and there was a line of like 300 people they said. So I basically got up for nothing and am really tired because I wasn't able to fall back asleep cause my little sister was so loud. Sorry I just had to get that out.

I didn't care too much about the sales, but I picked up Tropic Thunder on Blu-Ray for $12 and Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 for $10 at BestBuy. Oh, and NHL 10 and Dragon Age for $35.

I bought my nephew a WWE wrestling ring and some action figures a few years ago (the WM24 themed set) and he called me to tell me that the ring broke. I stopped by a local Toys"R"Us and found a WWE Stunt Action Ring (the same type of ring that was in the set I bought him) normally $29.99 for 50% off. So for $15 I was able to replace his broken ring and got a bonus HHH figure that my nephew doesn't have. Who's the best uncle now?!? P.S. I TOTALLY wanted the Money In the Bank set but for $120 I couldn't quite afford it. It wasn't 50% off.
