  1. USED or REFURBISHED-Sony PS2 Phat or Slim models (depends on store inventory) $49.

    -After today, their price returns to Phat-$59 and Slim-$69.

    -Finally figure why buy a DVD player? Although PS2 does not play blue-ray, will play regular DVDs.

    -USED. Meaning turned in to that store, tested 'in house, and deemed ok to resell.

    -REFURBISHED. Meaning returned to/from factory site...

    -Either Used/Refurbished come with 01 Controller.

    -I spent the extra $10 on each (bought two) to purchase a 1 yr warranty vs 30Day.

     

    Call ahead though! When we went out Friday-the two stores in NoVirginia we visited were OOS. Saturday, I called a central Virginia store (which by the way the phone number actually linked to THREE stores, it would've helped since the store that picked up the phone first said they had plenty-while the actual Richmond VA store I visited had "some" vs "plenty".

  2. Harmonix, maker of ROCK BAND products though.... I had a strum bar (guitar) problem by mid-Jan this past year. The included troubleshooting tutorial on the game disc identified it, I then called their service number, and they sent me another within 5 days. VERY satisfied.

     

    Like Rock Band More too-just wish they'd come out with disc's more frequently. (oh & I've all G_H_ for PS2 and both R_B_ for PS3).

     

    I'd write corporate on your discontent. Although I'll add "Sorry about your misfortune", I don't think you'll be able to recoup anything from the ordeal.

  3. And HP? I purchased 5 days ago, with free 2day busness shipping. Well the printer came, and wasn't even enclosed in another box. Maybe stupid me, but I won't buy from them again-now my daughter knows what she's gotten. Oh, and the other two items from them? They haven't show today either. I feel your frustration....
  4. PlayStation 3 DualShock 3 Wireless Controller - 98050 $40.95 + free S&H.

     

    Almost anywhere else these run for $59+. I picked up two, since a new PS3 only comes with two, but can support up to four.

     

    Note: Only some games can support up to four players, so if you don''t have a need, it's not a must-have accessory. BUT I do have pets that've damaged one by accident.

     

    AFTERPOST. Sorry I was excited to contribute and forgot where! www.buy.com

  5. Right, I'd love 40%!!! But have only found those two sets at discount so far. My DS has his 'one and only gotta have: the Lego Castle Giant Chess Set #852293 (@$299) so $30/$300 this week end is the best I've found so far. Man, I would've jumped on 40%.
  6. You're Right, if this keeps up, I think they'll be good deals on parking spaces Thursday Night/Friday Morning, and thats it!!!

     

    Although markets placed their orders over 9months ago, and allot of years they've been off the mark, Golly Day!!! and everyones wallet is feeling the economic crisis,.... wait a minute I was getting ready to make excuses for retailers 100% markup, then advertise 40% off "deals".

     

    Executives, you better make some cost cutting bargains with the consumer, within the next 8 days-or you can say bye bye to you're being 'in the black this year.

  7. Remember on any given week end outlets are jam-packed? Well, multiply that times 2 or so.

     

    Also beware of the traffic congestion at the outlets that are having their first experience at midnight openings. Actually the police jurisdictions supporting those openings. Not a breaking the law thing, but their lack of a plan usually just plain sucks or hurts my time line.

     

    Case in point. Williamsburg VA. I got there at 10:30. Well within 6 miles of there. Fortunately, knowing the area I was able to hit and run the one store. But the traffic management was ridiculously mis-managed. Not a pandemonium of elbows and fists, but as an example the 2lane highway-the lane that entered the stores was backed up 4 miles. The parking lot that held 500 cars, folks were continuously directed into, but there were no spaces!!!!

     

    Along the lines of hard-core BF folks. I saw more sight see'rs meaning "oh, let's just go out and see whats going on - slow moving - hands in their pockets - milling about just to kill time - people!!!

     

    I'm to the point now of trying to get deals prior to then, and especially try to avoid outlet shopping. Due to the traffic problems and silly folks.

  8. Well, since it was Nov you ordered (I did allot too), by mid-Dec I would have been tracking, or calling, or something. Sorry about your plans gone awry.

     

    :24 min may work. Day prior to Christmas I had placed an online order, went the 20mi, and ended up standing around (was the only one in line, but :30min later, watched about 10 folks come and go). The store manager apologized, then immediately stated their policy applied and a gift card would be provided once they rounded up all my items.

     

    I ended up Very satisfied.
