  1. I was too late for the Samsung Galaxy 2 tablet I was hoping to get but I scored a lot of great video game and accessory deals (like Assassins Creed III for $35!)! Still have to camp in line for 2 laptops and the tablet. But the great thing is the fact that on Friday midnight I can just get my ticket items and go to the next store instead of fighting the mob for the video game stuff and taking more time reducing my chances of getting the deals I want elsewhere.

    I just looked and the Samsung tablet is still available with the $20 gift card. Go check it out!

  2. Anyone want to help me with sizing? My DS want's Oregon Ducks, which they carry. But I'm not sure what sizes to get. He's going through a growth spurt, has been for a couple months. Currently he's a boys size 16 jeans and fits Aero sweats in size XS. Would he fit in a Men's size small sweatpants?

    If he's growing like a weed and you're unsure, I'd buy a size up just in case. He can grow into them! :)

  3. Got it, thanks for the head's up. So if my classes have websites that run with Shockwave, I will not be able to access these sites on ANY tablet, correct?

     

    If you are wanting flash, You are SOL for any tablet. It was posted this week on the amazon kindle forums that flash has ended their applications on all tablets and phones, so no new devices will carry flash and all old devices will no longer have flash support. As for the camera on the new kindle, it is a front facing camera for skype. We don't know yet, if it will do photos. FOr the poster wanting to know about bundling. Amazon does not do that. Once in a while, the amazon customers who have kindles with special offers will be offered a deal with maybe 40 off a new kindle, but amazon NEVER bundles kindles with accessories.

  4. Well as I said last year I did not choose the Kindle for my teens since I know they preferred the Google Play store. I have not regretted my decision. This year if I was getting it for them since it is nicer than last years I may have gotten it for them since now they use our Amazon Prime account to watch a lot of movies. They can also use it their current tablets also.

     

    I personally would wait to see what the ads will be like. If they are anything like last years there will be deals on tablets especially if you are willing to camp out. If not then the Kindle Fire HD seems to be quite nice. For DH it will work really well and we are thinking of giving one to his Dad also. I know quite a few teens who have the original Fire and they are happy with it. For mine the original was not ok since it had no cameras but that has changed with the new HDs.

     

    Something else you could look into is SquareTrade Warranty to protect your investment. I just saw Amazon has their extended warranty for $89.99 for 2 years. SquareTrade is $44.99 for 2 years for the Kindle Fire and $54.99 (other tablets up to $500), $22.99 (for a $249 tablet).

    So your kids are able to use their Amazon Prime benefits on their tablets? I was thinking of getting the Kindle Fire HD to be able to utilize my Prime benefits but I didn't know I could do that on other tablets (like watch Prime movies/TV shows, etc). That would open up a lot more doors tablet wise!

     

    I have been wanting a tablet for over a year but have yet to pull the trigger because I'm afraid to make the wrong choice! I'd like to stay under the $300 range (but would be willing to invest more for a quality tablet I could use long term). I need Flash, so the iPad is out (as much as I love it). I don't need the tablet to do anything crazy - just run apps, check emails, access internet, etc. I would like to be able to view PDF/Word/Excel type documents for school. I have heard some App Stores have office/document type apps (can anyone confirm this?). A camera would def be nice for Skype usage. Size doesn't really matter. I like the bigger tablets but if I found a great 7 inch one, I'd be fine with that too!

     

    Anyone have any recommendations? I almost purchased a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tab or Kindle Fire last year but just never committed to it.

    You need to post this in the WalMart thread :)

    I'd say you were in the right place at the right time!

    I've hit their Halloween clearance like that before and just kinda lost my mind lol

    :cheesy:

    Oh! I didn't even know there was a Walmart thread! I'll look for it. :)
