  1. I'd wait for a better deal. I got a Vizio (which is highly rated -- and I must tell you the picture is outstanding) 50" plasma from Circuit City during a Thanksgiving sale for $1700. They also had a $200 rebate and I get a 10% of the total value gift card making my total cost $1330 plus tax. An incredible deal for a highly reviewed TV.

     

    I have a feeling the plasmas will be even more affordable at the beginning of next year. Just a hunch.

  2. They delivered my 360 to the wrong address after I changed it. They said DHL would go pick it up and they still haven's shown up. Dell has not contacted me with any additional information and when I try to get customer service the phone system tells me my wait "might exceed 10 minutes" -- well that tells me nothing -- and when I try to chat with customer service online it gives me a note saying all those agents are busy and to try again or leave an e-mail. Give me a break -- their customer service sucks. I will NEVER make another purchase with Dell. No wonder their stock is sucking wind.
  3. I was at Target this morning when the doors opened. Big mistake. Only went there for the digital frame -- sold out in the first 15 minutes. People were relatively civilized considering the sheer volume -- it was just too hectic.
  4. Ive tried both. XM for ~7 months and Sirius for around ~13 months now. Sirius is in my opinion the better option. Either company is better then regular FM radio, but I like Sirius music stations much more then I did for XM. With XMs, I found myself always switching channels like you do with FM. With FM, its becuase of the commercials, XM its becuase of too vague of categories.

     

    Sirius has Stern, which I personally never listen too, they also have every NFL game and its broadcast for both teams, IE 2 channels for every game. Sirius also has NBA and NHL I believe. Not a hockey fan myself.

     

    XM does have MLB, which is not a advantage to me personally.

     

    Throw out all the extra stuff (stern, sports,etc) Sirius just has better music channels in my opinion.

     

    Mike is totally right here. We have both XM and Sirius -- one in each car. Sirius is "hands down" a better deal -- even if the unfounded rumors are true about a small price increase. Sirius is gaining listeners faster than XM and will probably overtake them in the next 18 months. A lot of this is attributed to Howard Stern. Personally I could do with or without Mr. Stern. Sometimes his show is funny, other times it is tired and boring. I can only handle so many prank phone calls. What does he care, he's halway to being a billionaire.

     

    There are two major reasons Sirius is better -- 1) the NFL (they also have a great slate of NCAA football and basketball games and 2) NO COMMERCIALS on their music stations. XM has commercials on their music stations due to a court settlement. Sirius has no such constraint. Not to mention, the Sirius music channels just play better music. XM has a tendency to repeat songs too much, just like terrestrial radio.

     

    Also, if the price increase bugs you, buy the lifetime plan -- which is what I will do before the end of January. For the cost of about 3 1/2 years of monthly service, you can buy a lifetime membership. Never have to worry about price increases again.

  5. For anyone who cares, the $16.99 deal for jerseys at JCPenney.com was for guys like Steve McNair and Drew Brees who have switched teams.

     

    I just went and bought a Bryan Urlacher jersey which was priced at $39.99. However, when I put it in my shopping bag, it showed up with a $16.99 price tag! I tried it with a few others and they all showed the original price. But if you like Bryan Urlacher, or you want to try any of the others to see if a reduced price shows in the shopping bag, it might be worth your while.

     

    BTW, the Urlacher jersey was on backorder until Nov 17 which still leaves lots of wiggle room before xmas.
