I miss Five Star I basically lived off of it during my time at UF. It's about as unhealthy an existence as is possible, but oh god is it delicious.

Dell computers are great until something goes wrong and you have to interract with their customer service. Then all hell breaks loose, and you're likely to get conflicting instructions, incomplete advice, or just lied to, like the OP. For our future computing needs, we're going to sack up and pay the extra $$$ to get Toshibas.

You could buy a stick of 256 mb ram from crucial.com for less than $50. If you wanted to spend a little more money and buy a stick of 512 mb, it would only cost between $60 and $70. This would allow you to have 768 mb total, which is more than enough to do most basic computer tasks. And the installation is a breeze (it literally clicks in). Upgrading the hard drive is a bit trickier. But I don't think most folks absolutely need something larger than the 80 gb.

There are nominal services charges ($5-$10) charged by Travelocity, Hotwire, Orbitz, etc. You can use those sites to determine which of the major airlines have the cheapest rates. Then go to Southwest.com, Jetblue.com, etc. to check the discount airlines' rates. If the major airlines have cheaper rates, you can go directly to their site and purchase the fare you located on the search engine, but save the service charge.

I want those 24 box sets from Best Buy. Jack Bauer is my man-crush.

Just be careful - you might be getting the same cease and desist letter from OD's people.

That is true. If the ads state a minimum, then the store doesn't have the minimum number of products, it could be considered a "bait and switch," which would violate your state's DTPA (or equivalent). Of course, whether anyone would actually file suit is a different story.

The 64 is a cartridge system, and the next Nintendo game will be a disc system - so the 64 games won't be able to be played on the Revolution, or whatever it's going to be called.

Amazon.com is a good place. Even if they don't have the game in stock their marketplace sellers will usually have it - often for a pretty good price. And you shouldn't be embarassed about it at all - I think Perfect Dark is one of my favorite games of all time.

Low turn out? What's wrong with the fine folks in Wisconsin?!?

A few years ago (maybe 2003?) Walmart had some pretty crazy sales on Thanksgiving day. I don't remember if there were any ads for it - I went in for some last minute Thanksgiving provisions and stumbled upon it.

I know you can't get papers on them, but there are always plenty of beautiful dogs looking for a good home at your local animal shelter.

Check the thread about ten down...

No offense or anything - but, then why did you ask?

I'd be shocked if you found any on Black Friday. My suspicion is that the few that are still available after preorders are filled will be snatched up with moments of the stores' opening on the 23rd (or whenever they go on sale).

I doubt you'd get a Dell for less than $399, but who knows. The computer they have for $399 right now (the Inspiron 1200) is a piece of junk IMO. I bought mine when I started school just over two years ago, and now it's so slow and prone to brain farts that it's almost worthless. So I spend most of my time on my girlfriend's Inspiron 600, which I would say is worth a little extra money if you have it.

Aren't all the Best Buy stores opening at 5? I think those up here in Austin are.

On the main gottadeal.com website I see some ads for savings accounts, credit cards, etc. Do those companies/banks pay for their offers to be listed?

Good call.

It's retarded that a lot of the stores prohibit their employees from accepting tips. If you've done your job well enough that a customer wants to reward you, you ought to be able to enjoy it. Besides, it's not like the employees are particularly well paid anyway.

That's a really great deal - too bad I already own Season 1

lol. Anytime I see the word politician and a pimp emoticon on the same post, good times must be just around the corner.

You're the Admin, you tell us. We'll just shake our heads in unison.

As I said in the other thread - this is hardly deceptive. It just means the BF sale isn't as good as other deals during the year. Sears never claimed that the BF price was the lowest of the year. You just missed out on an even better deal, but Sears didn't dupe you.

I don't think any of the stores claim that the BF sale prices are the cheapest prices of the year on every item - a sale price is just something below MSRP. While it sucks you missed the price, it's hardly deceptive on Sears' part.
