I'm trying to find a Steelers bumble bee jersey...the number of counterfeit items on Amazon is amazing. I'm surprised the NFL hasn't cracked down on them.

I haven't seen an ad yet this year for Tractor Supply Company. They are usually one of the first - I get my full winter's supply of black oil sunflower seed most years on Black Friday. Also IKEA, but I think they might just be doing the $25 of $150 promotion.

Has anyone else found it increasingly difficult to shop at Amazon, due to the flood of cheap/discounted imported things? Many of them seem to get prominent placement, yet once you look at them and the reviews it's SO hard to figure out if something is good, or if it's just rubbish. Their new policy on reviews in exchange for free products has helped some, but not a lot.

Well, I was going to put down some appliances from Home Depot, but I've been saying I don't want to replace any of my current ones until my kitchen is redone. So, I guess it would have to be a TV. Since price is no object, to a point, I'd pick the 55" Sony 4K UHD from Best Buy (XBR-55X850D), for $899.99. I can't fit any bigger than that on my wall. And with the remaining money I'd have a field day at Half Price Books.

Anyone seeing delays in receiving their items from Microsoft? I have received my console, but the games I purchased two days later are still showing as processing. Two phone calls to Microsoft yielded someone I couldn't understand, and disconnections.

I went to Trader Joe's at 8am. Was almost empty. But got a lot of yummy munch stuff for a gift bag for my mom, and a few stocking stuffers for my son. Then to TSC for the black oil sunflower seed. Have to keep the squirrels fed and the dog entertained. Girl said it had been busy but I thought it was pretty quiet. Then to Boscov's. Parked right in front. Picked up two work dresses for me, and a wallet/watch for mini-me. Then to the local flooring store to get samples for my bathroom reno. Found one I like - YAY! Then 5 Below and PetSmart. Again parked right in front. No busier than an average Saturday, maybe even a little less busy. I was home by 10:30. And that's considering the Trader Joe's is 25 miles away.

Here's some of the information on the backwards compatibility: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/backward-compatibility

Just drove by the Target on my way to Bob Evans for dinner (cheaper to eat out than cook for one!), and there is no one in line yet.

YES! That was the best thing about it. Really was not fond of having to get a game he'd never play - seemed like everywhere just wanted to clear out their old 500gb models.

DONE! And I am very happy. Microsoft store: 1TB Tomb Raider edition Xbox One: $349.99 $60 Microsoft card: Free Forza Horizon 2: Free Forza Limited Edition controller: $39.99 The selection of "free games" was sucky, only 4 of them. I figure this will give him time to put Forza 6 on his birthday list (March). The selection of discounted controllers was quite impressive. So I paid $50 more than the Target price, but got the 1TB; still got a $60 gift card, and a comparable price on the controller. And it didn't have to be bundled with games we didn't want. Woot!

I bought those batteries last year and they were crap. Didn't last nearly as long as the ones I usually use - which are from BJ's.

Was just in BJ's this morning picking up the 3-pack of SkullCandy earbuds (great deal, BTW, 3 for $24.99). Anyway, they had the Disney Infinity 2.0 packs (Marvel Superheroes), PS3 only, for $9.99. That's with 3 figures. Didn't know if anyone would be interested.

I just looked and they don't even have them now. Perhaps locked down until later in the week? Heck, at this rate I may just buy direct from Microsoft.

Okay, so stupid question time. 15% off site wide. No exclusions in the fine print? Is this stackable with things already on sale? It sounds like it is, but I want to make sure. Because honestly this makes going out on Thursday for the Xbox One look less and less appealing.

No luck for me. The Xbox One controller isn't even on the website anymore (it was last week), and the watch I was looking at for my son is cheaper on Amazon. With everyone here talking towels I took a look, but I'm picky about towels and most have horrible reviews.
