  1. We walked out of Macy's yesterday with nothing because none of their computers would work on the $10 off coupons or 15% of purchase. They couldn't (or wouldn't) try taking it off manually. And no, it wasn't one of the 2.8 million restrictions they placed on using the coupons. I told the employee when I left "Now I remember why I never shop here!"
  2. Here's how I have the last laugh. Walmart doesn't understand that a lot of people develop a plan of where they are going for which gifts, I've already made mine. Other links have spreadsheets and people have made up their minds where they are making their purchases. It doesn't include Walmart because their ad wasn't complete early enough like most others. Call me lazy, but why should I change my plan for gifts for one or two items at Walmart that I can get at other locations? I won't, its not worth it. So, because they had such precious secrets...they have lost a lot of business. Great plan Walmart.....
  3. Agreed, I got in line about 45min before they opened at night, got everything but it was a mess! And yes, it took 2hrs to check out for 15min of shopping:mad: If you want any RAM, go there first since they have a line too. Best to team up with someone and send them there while you get other items from around the store.
  4. DLP's are usually several hundred dollars less than Plasma/LCD. Yes, a couple years down the road, more like 3-5, you will replace a bulb for a couple hundred dollars and your picture will be like the day you bought it. The same can not be said for LCD/Plasma. They all have great pictures nowadays, its up to you according to how much you want to spend, and if you want it on a wall, etc. Lots of variables, I always tell people to look in consumer reports from this month, it covers all the variables and then you can decide for yourself.
  5. Ditto, not to be rude, but go work somewhere else if it's that important to you?! It's that one time a year, if you feel strongly about it then go to a regular store that doesn't go Black Friday crazy. When younger - I used to get the Friday and Sat closing shift, I complained, but it didn't work. So I went to another store and never worked that shift again!
  6. I used my scanned coupon copy from this website, it wouldn't work on the reader when she tried to scan it. I said I printed it on draft and she manually entered the upc code and -BANG- discount applied! I'll be back again today buying just released video games that won't be discounted much prior to xmas (XBOX 360 Assassins).
  7. When they do the sale every Oct (Buy 2 get 1 free) on all video games - 75% of them qualify for the promo online. Online you'll see a buy 2 get 1 free caption under your game. At the store they all qualify. They usually don't do the buy 2 get 1 free after Oct, I hope your specualtion is right!
  8. The bigger the TV the more you will notice the poor quality of the lower resolution. Putting 720 lines into a 61" screen will stretch those pixels and look poor versus 1080 lines into the picture. You start getting much below 50" and the 720 is probably a better bet for your money but the prices are getting closer and closer. Also, remember your standard DVD player transmits in 480p. Get an HD/Blu-Ray or at least upconvert DVD player for a better picture. Same for your TV service (cable/Direct/Dish), getting the HD service will cost you for the new HD converter box and HD service. Add it all up! But when you watch Discover network in HD at 1080p, you will think it was all worth it!!
