Amazon usually has a lot of rebates on that kind of software as well:

The fun continues.... welcome to the new Holiday Shopping board (formerly Black Friday) :)
I have many of tomorrow's sale ads (Best Buy, CompUSA, Target, OfficeMax, OfficeDepot, Kohls, Menards, Michael's and a few others) so if anyone is wondering about a certain item at a certain store, post here and I'll see what I can find.

I'll work on adding some this weekend.

When it comes to hard drives like these, I'm 99% sure that they came off the assembly line, were sealed in an anti static bag and haven't been touched yet. Some were put in retail boxes with cables, screws, mounting brackets, etc... and others were packaged in bulk and sent to system builders and retailers like Newegg. They are brand new.

Bobby - you might be confusing OEM with something else. OEM drives like this do come right from the assembly lines and are packaged. They are not system pulls or anything like that. They are the same ones the manufacturers send to system builders, just that they send some to retailers like Newegg to sell. There is no difference in the actual hard drive.

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) - The busiest shopping day of the year turned out to be a sticky affair. Vandals apparently glued the locks on dozens of Lafayette's biggest retailers, preventing managers from opening up promptly on lucrative "Black Friday." Hundreds of shoppers, some of whom arrived before dawn, were forced to wait outside Barnes & Noble, Old Navy and other stores while managers summoned locksmiths.
At least 200 locks on dozens of businesses were glued, including main entrances, rear doors and employee entrances, locksmith Garan Wilson said. Wilson's first job at about 5 a.m. Friday was to make his way to the front door lock at Old Navy - by pushing through about 500 shoppers waiting outside, he said.
"I found about a half a tube of glue stuck inside," he said.
Kevin Vizena, head locksmith for Pop-A-Lock in Lafayette, said the vandals squirted the glue deep inside the keyholes, forcing him to drill holes and remove the locks from the doors.
"We've never run into a day that's been quite so busy with these particular problems," Vizena said.
Chuck Trenchard, an employee of S&K Menswear, said the prank had cost his store more than $1,000 in business, because potential customers had arrived early, then took off because they couldn't get inside.
Most of the stores had their doors open for customers by midmorning, Vizena said.
Lafayette Police had no suspects but were investigating the vandalism as cases of possible criminal mischief or criminal damage to property, both misdemeanors, Lt. Angelo Iorio said.

One of the reviewers at Amazon was not impressed:
"The "PC Connectivity" of this monitor is a joke. I wanted to get an immediate refund. Windows XP is NOT compatible with this sleek hi tech monster. All I could eventually get was HUGE type that was still blurry. BUY A TV MONITOR, NOT THIS MESS. It would make a nice TV as it is portable and seems to pick up vibrant and bright color. Frankly, the Sharp Aquos series is far better--it's a really beautiful set and picture. It does NOT claim any PC ability. At least Sharp is honest."
Take this review at face value of course...

had the #2 ticket, but lost interest when i checked it out first hand and realized that i can get something soo much better for just $150 more. and it wasnt wide screen, the one at this best buy anyway. needed something that can handle 3d apps anyway!
exactly. while for some people the $499 laptop was a great deal, i personally wouldn't have paid $399 for it. many of us on this forum got deal-of-the-year quality deals on dell laptops a month or two ago. we paid around $750 for $1500 laptops that blow these $499 models out of the water.
so for anyone who missed out on the BB deal, pay attention to this site and most likely you will find a nice deal before christmas, and you'll be glad you missed out on the BB deal (well maybe not glad, but you get the point, lol)

Rebate Time!

none. that was easy :) -
Ask a friend or relative who might have some spare space to let you keep the stuff there for a few weeks :)
-
Just added a bunch of new items now available online - CompUSA, OfficeMax, OfficeDepot, Sears and RadioShack - see the link above

Just got back from KMart where I got the Liton DVD recorder for $149. They had around 20 stacked up and I was the only one who took one. Everyone else was going for the el-cheapo DVD players for $19
-
Thanks. Now that BF is here I can finally get some sleep :)
Good luck to everyone later today, and be sure to come back to the site after BF as we'll still be here.
-
Yes, the model at Kmart has Liteon's AllWrite technology for compatibility with both formats
-
The whole red shirt thing is nothing but a publicity stunt by some other site.
It'll be too cold here to just wear a t-shirt.

He will also tell you how to cook your turkey if you haven't cooked it yet :)

keep in mind that these reviews are mostly reviewing the monitor when it was $500+. there are a lot of people on this forum with Dell monitors (myself included - i have the 20" 2001fp) and we swear by their quality.
-
If they have a discount, it won't be compatible with the coupons most likely. Most of their promotions are "either-or" so it would just take whichever was better, and there's no way they are offering more than 25% off.

akolozvary,
I have a Dell coupon for 25% off any LCD monitor. Using this coupon you could get one of the following:
Dell 173FP 17" LCD - $339 - 25% = $254
Dell 1703FP 17" LCD - $399 - 25% = $299
The 1703 is a better model as it has a DVI input and a better stand. If you are interested in getting either of these, PM me and I'll send you the coupon code.

The only opinion of this camera I could find is here:
http://www.clubzone.com/idealbb/view30561_p2_n20.html
where some guy says "I just bought the Samsung 4 mp digimax 4010 for 160 and it actualy produces good pic for what i payed for it "
and yes I know that this guys opinion means absolutely nothing, but I thought I'd post it anyway, lol.
You could do much worse for $97, but you could spend a little bit more and get a much better camera.

use it as a weapon... :)
What store did you go first, time, and was there a line?
