    You all have to get me through this Black Friday

    in 2008

    Posted

    Because I wont be going out this year or at least camping out I might go just in town for small things. This will be the first time in over 5 yrs I have not camped out. We are going on 4 trips in the next year , Atlanta, Dallas, New Orleans and Vegas:D and are saving every last penny for trips. Kids are getting basically clothes for christmas since we are travelling on Christmas and dont want to bring a bunch of stuff . They might get a video game a piece but that is about it.. They had a huge christmas last year and they all want to see the grandparents this year in Dallas and all said they will have a small xmas to see them since we have to stay in a hotel and will need 2 rooms so the room alone will be 900.00 :( . Then who knows what gas prices will be at xmas .. So I know I will be going through withdraws on Black Fri morning. I might sneak out and get a few things but I will be not camping out this year because I wont be getting big ticket items and it wont be the same :(

     

     

     

    Hotel rooms?

     

    When we visit a large city where close to a grand is going to be spent on hotel rooms we check or have the intended folks we are going to visit check and see if any one wants to make seven hundred dollars for renting out a pair of rooms or an apartment for a few days.

     

    What also works is checking if there is a small city/suburb closeby where someone has an un-used duplex and wants to rent it for a few days to make seven hundred dollars rent.

     

    Leaving you with two hundred dollars or a bit more to use for those black friday cravings.

     

    just trying to help.

    PS3 advice please

    Hmmmm google the program mkv2vob

     

    Get an 8 gig usb drive for transfering kids movies and yours to the ps3 hard drive.

     

    HD tv shows in 5.1 dolby digital are great.

     

    Remember google is your friend

     

    Last and not least you need a 5.1 dolby digital capable amp and speakers plus active subwoofer.

     

    A fibreoptic cable or tos-link cable.

     

    The HDTV is for watching the video via hdmi cable and the 5.1 amp is for the sound via the tos link cable.

     

    Do not! use the tv speakers as they produce crappy sound.

     

    A good game is pixel junk monsters for kids.

     

    An internet hookup to download all of the free game demos from the PSN store i.e. valkyria, bioshock, fracture, bad company, warhawk, overlord, motorstorm, eden, lego indiana, force unleashed, turok, blazing angels, monster madness, bladestorm, civilization, devil may cry, ratchect and clank, dirt, paradise city, formula, nba, nhl, dark sector, blood shot, jericho, strangle hold, time shifters, days of the blade,ninja gaiden sigma,...........well you get the idea that there are some game demos here and there.
