  1. Honestly, the movie selection gets worse and worse every year. This year it seems like overstock of things that didn't move upon release. Two years ago I got the Sergio Leone/Eastwood trilogy, Patton, and Great Escape for 25 dollars. THAT was a bargain. Things like Click and Mission Impossible III lose playback value really fast. Give me classics, good ones, over new releases anyday. They have tons of great westerns, sci fi, and horror that NEVER goes on sale. Thats a bummer.
  2. Mark my words: Violence WILL breakout somewhere. That's how rare it is. But really, why waste your time with a Playstation 3. It'll be full of bugs and expensive. And only one colors available. Drop your money on the Wii. Aston Martin = PS3 Mini Cooper = Wii I'd much rather have a fun system than a glorified Blu-Ray player.
  3. Totally disappointed. Media wise, it sucks. It seems like it's lots of really bad movies and only a few Season sets. I usually go to BB for the media but this year...I'm gonna wait for the Circuit City and Target ads to see what they have in store. Though the Wireless Guitar Hero Guitar for 39.99 is awesome. Too bad the guitar is ugly.
  4. Oh, so that's its secret. It's from Microsoft. You don't see any MS logos anywhere on the ads. Those sneaky fools.
  5. Sony just released the silver slim version a few weeks ago. It's nice, but the fact that they'd release a "new" system so late in the game makes me think they want to squeeze the 129 price tag as much as they can before the PS3 launch. And with Sony's MAJOR losses because of the PS3 i don't think theyll drop the PS2 to 99. And with the release of GH2 AND FINAL FANTASY XII they know there might be more PS2 shoppers out there.
  6. Maybe the humor will have people approaching you. You want to repel them from you. "I get violent around shoppers."
  7. MS announced that there will be no price drop for a significant time. Not until they don't lose any, or as much, money off every system sold.
  8. With the new black and pink ones just released a couple of weeks ago it'll be hard to find those for the holiday season for sure. I'm also sure Nintendo itself wont drop the price of the LITE, not sure about the original. You may see lots of stores bundle their originals with accessories or games to get them the hell out of their stores. *whispers*the original ones are kinda ugly. But they're extremely tough. Sometimes I dont want to play my LITE because its just too nice.
  9. The new Zune seems like it has some dark dark secret hiding under its shiny exterior. When an MP3 player has giant billboards in Hollywood it's desperately trying to get your attention.
  10. Playing a GB ADVANCE game on a DS Lite becomes a matter of aesthetics. The original DS plays ADVANCE games too and the cartridge doesnt stick out like on the DS LITE. On the DS LITE your ADVANCE cartridge will stick out about 1cm from the handheld. It seems like nothing but believe me...it does look kinda ugly. Ive rarely seen people play ADVANCE games on a LITE
  11. I saw some people at Best Buy bust out a hookah at about 4am. I was jealous.
  12. No way they let you choose ANY game. There's gotta be a select few to choose from. A DS and Mario Kart together would retail for about 160ish.
  13. "I saw the ads before you. Long before you." or "If you're looking at ads right now you're already too late." Of course, that'd have to be on the back. Or, for the non-agressive crowd. "My Christmas is November 24."
  14. Creative has some nice MP3 players. Probably right behind the iPod.
  15. These are fun. I've chosen one for the past two years, they've done it twice I believe. The only problem is it seems they get backtracked with so many calls that you might get yours way late. I remember getting my call almost an hour and a half after the time I had chosen. I did it for kicks though, I was already in the line long before the call.
  16. That reminds me, i still HAVE my Best Buy shirt from when I worked last years Black Friday. Believe me when I say that lots of employees at BB dont know each other. Usually departments stick together so lots of people, especially seasonal temps, dont get to know each other well. Im sure you'd be let in but then theyd ask 'who's that guy?' and then youd get discovered. Damn.....now I cant stop staring at my shirt and name tag.

    My Gift To You

    I love his original speech.
  18. The DVDs are SERIOUSLY disappointing. I think there are only about 4 titles I'd buy. Not enough to convince me to step foot into a WalMart on BF. Best Buy always tries to put in some classics in there. Wal Mart just puts out the trash that no one buys.

    My Gift To You

    Men, Women, and Shoppers of the United States of America, You are about to embark upon the Black Friday, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of gift-loving family members everywhere wait in line with you. In company with our Website and brothers-in-carts on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the register machine, the elimination of high-price tyranny over the opressed peoples of America, and gifts for ourselves this Christmas. Your task will not be an easy one. The clerks are well trained, well equipped, and Black Friday hardened. They will sell add-ons viciously. But this is the year 2005! Much has happened since the Retail triumphs of 2002-2003. Gottadeal.com has inflicted upon the Retailers great defeats, in open forums, post-to-post. Our online offensive has seriously reduced their strenght on the net and their capacity to hide flyers. Our Bookmarked-Homepage has given us an overwhelming superiority in knowledge and deals, and placed at our disposal great scans to ponder over. The tide has turned! The shoppers of the Nation are marching together to sales! I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to buying and pricematching on Black Friday. We will accept nothing less than instant rebate! Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Ross and Brad upon this great and noble undertaking. Signed: Vader Thats a little something for all the history geeks out there :)
  20. I think legal action might just entangle the site in more crap it doesnt need to be in but what I REALLY think you should seek is an ON-AIR PERSONAL APOLOGY from Mr. Wise, and I'm being way too nice by calling him "Mr.", and your chance to say your piece. If it takes a lawyer to force them to, I know it would suck, but it would be well worth it. Regular people who don't know about the site will believe this jerks report and think "Oh, I better tell everyone to ignore those sites." when you're really helping people. That's my opinion. ON-AIR PERSONAL APOLOGY. Or at least your chance to rebutt his claims.
  21. Even if you want one you're out of luck. You have a better chance to find a dinosaur in your backyard right now. Im sure the only 360s you can find in stores right now are the display kiosk models.
  22. Volcom - The Snowhouse Jean It's a jean that's made for snowboarding. Slim fitting boot cut. Extremely nice. Awesome, but at about 85 bucks, at it's cheapest, it's not for everyone.
  23. My local Best Buy said NO PRICEMATCHING AT ALL. I was letdown. Theyre going to lose lots of DVD sales like that to WalMart and Circuit City.
  24. Anyone thinking that the PS3 launch will be different or "better" is way off. If anything, the PS3 launch will be worse. It's the most popular system and for once, it might actually be a threat to the XBox in terms of capability. I got to see both systems in May and the PS3 is almost as big as the XBox but more aesthetically pleasing. And so far, the Nintendo Revolution is nothing more than a myth. I'm sure it exists somewhere but until we see some hardware and a demo running people won't go nuts over it yet. This year at E3 I stood in line for 2 hours, thinking it was for a Revolution presentation but about an hour in I discovered that it was a preview for the new Zelda game. We were bummed but we stayed in. And hey, we got to play the new Zelda game :)
