  1. Why does everybody keep saying that? The 2 years I worked there we had over 40 of each computer, and my motherinlaw (photo manager) has seen 2 pallates full so far this year of laptops (around 55-60)

    There is no way they could have 55-60 laptops. HP builds laptops to order. I know that Wal-Mart is probably their best customer, but c'mon, who excepts to move 60 laptops in few hours?

  2. aww, I don't work for sony but you should get the PSP

     

    UMD (the format the movies are on) will replace dvd's, or at the very least be a far better rival than vhs ever dreampt of.

    Soon sony tv's will have a umd slot on the front, the playstation 3 will soon have a umd "port" and within the next 2 years or so a UMD slot will be as common as a USB port on your computer.

     

    Sony was brilliant for developing this.

     

    Don't gimme that blue ray disc crap either :) It'll be 10 years before they are affordable

    I'm sorry, but this is not accurate. The disc may be perfect for portable gaming/video/mp3, but it has such low capacity (1.8 duak layer, 900MB single layer) that it makes it impractical for larger movies at a eye-pleasing resolution. Secondly, Sony has been extremely hesitant to license the format for use by 3rd parties (with the exception of some).

  3. On a side note, Newegg.com is a fantastic resource for computer hardware. Some items may be cheaper elsewhere, but Newegg has consistently amazing prices and lighting fast shipping. I have recorded over 60 unique transactions (I build computers for friends) and I have NEVER had a problem with Newegg. Did I say the shipping is fast? Because it is!
  4. Sony's monitors are spectecular... I mean simply amazing. I cannot over-state this... I'm looking to buy a 19" myself but everytime I go to BB I have to turn around thinking, "Who am I kidding?" Because compared to the Sony's all other monitors look archaic. Too bad Sony's are so pricey.
  5. If there is a Sam's Club near you, you can buy the RAZR (silver or black) anytime for $99.99 for new subscribers or $129.99 for upgrades.

     

    You don't even have to be a member of Sam's! Just tell the person at the door that you are going to the phone kiosk.

    I second that. My friend just bought a black RAZR for $99.99 @ Sam's. We didn't even have a membership.

    You can effectively avoid the rush and pay a measly $11 dollars more.

  6. I just bought a pixter from toy r us amazon. 79.95 I think it had a free case and a sponge bob game with it. It qualifies for free shipping. Believe it or not it was cheaper than our local walmart

    :) :) ;)

    Well of course it did! Amazon is our friend. :trampolin

  7. Yes, just a few weeks ago Target had a $20 card for $15, so the cards do go on sale, but I have never seen them on Black Friday.

     

    BUT! I use Virgin Mobile as well and if you sign up for an intant top-up according to these stipulations:

     

    *Once monthly on a scheduled day

    *When your balance drops below $5

    *Once every 90 days

    *Instant top-up using a registered credit card through the phone

     

    This is all new, as long as you register your credit card and sign up for one of the 4 options above, you can top up with only $15 dollars.

  8. Never worked BF in retail, but I have worked the day before Thanksgiving as a cashier and bagger in a grocery store. Ouch. I lifted about 300 hundred 20lb turkeys, rang up about $25,000 dollars in sales in a 8 hour shift. Enough of my rant.
