FYI, also make sure you become a member of their all access pass program. If you shop there frequently, and if you have children, I'm sure you do, you can get up to 50% off. I just got a one-time use coupon in the mail for 30% off and saved nearly $75 off my order today.

I have heard of issues like this with Amazon. Apparently they frequently change their pricing, and rebates to target certain customers. For example, put something in your wish list and go back 24 hours later. The price will be about 5% less because they want you to buy it then. I'm actually surprised they haven't been sued for price discrimination yet. Amazon however has always been pretty good to me. They're one of the few merchants that I really trust and respect.

Transformers in Bluray is amazing! Same with The Reaping. Horrible movie, but OMG is the picture AMAZING. I'll tell ya what, I didn't really "see" the big deal in Bluray right away. Then one day I was watching Oceans Thirteen, and I noticed how awful the picture looked (admittedly, after watching the The Reaping). Ever since, I've been a Bluray fanboy!

Yes. Target joined my stores to boycott. They're on there with Circuit City, Sears and a local pizza place who refused to honor a coupon I had.

iTunes is now selling music in MP3 format. I still prefer Amazon MP3 though. I LOVE my iPod Touch. The Zunes seem to be pretty good as well, but I have no regrets with buying the touch.

I have both. The PS3 wins, by far, in my opinion. As I've said before, it just feels like a much more complete system. Not only are most of the necessary items, which the Xbox considers "accessories", included by default, but it has significantly more untapped potential than the 360 offers; Built in Wifi, rechargeable controllers, blu-ray, free online play, bluetooth/usb capability; it's everything I could ask for. I did have a red ring of death issue with my 360, which is what happens when the XBox 360 has a hardware failure. Microsoft fixed it for free, though it did take about 2 weeks from the time it broke to the time of repair. It's not at all a difficult process. My PS3 is much newer the Xbox 360, so I really compare the reliability of the two, but I have not had any problems with my PS3. That's not quite true. The PS3 can infact play most PS2 games. There's a limited amount that it cannot play. Even better is that it can also play PS1 games. I routinely play Destruction Derby and Crash Bandicoot on my PS3, even though both are almost 10 years old and came out for the PS1.

Yeah, the strangest part was that they didn't even have me fill anything out. I suppose they were smart enough to realize that I did pay with a CC, so if they needed to get a hold of me, they could. I think she was a manager, actually. When I got up there, the person manning the desk told me they had already called the manager over to deal with it. I think they had me profiled. I suppose it must be my sandals. They're looking a little ragged now-a-days.

Joining my list of stores I will boycott is Target. At 8:41 PM I purchased Madden 2009 for the XBox 360. At approximately 8:50 PM I arrived at home, opened the game and realized there was no game inside the case. At 9:00 PM I arrived back at Target to exchange it for game, with the disc included. The sales associate, or whatever jazzed up title Target gives its employees, told me they just had the same issue earlier today. He gave me a new game, and checked to make sure the disc was in there. It was. When I went to customer service though, they gave me the run around, practically accusing me of stealing the first game. The customer service lady insisted that I take the game back to Nintendo (yes, she said Nintendo, multiple times). I explained to her that I was just told that they would take the game back, and had already done so for another customer and I didn't understand why they couldn't do the same. She said, "Because it seems like this may be a frequent issue with something fishy going on." Of course, I told her I had no reason to steal, I paid for the thing with a credit card so they knew everything about me already, and if they weren't going to take the game back, I would deal with the issue through my credit card company. She called corporate, and they agreed to exchange the game. I'm glad they exchanged it, but it was ridiculous to freaking accuse me of stealing the game. The lady had no clue as to what the game was even about, as shown by her calling it a Nintendo game over and over again, but she apparently was well aware of this "frequent issue" of game theft. I can't even imagine what kind of hassle I would have gotten if I were wearing a wife beater and a bandanna. And yes, I initially wrote it like a police report since it felt like they were interrogating me.

I <3 my Mac!

The market isn't as bad as they're painting it. Don't worry.

Yeah, neither can I. Today is pay day too!!!

I had my friend who works at Best Buy purchase an HDMI cable for me. I think with his discount, I only paid $9.99 or $7.99. The markup is just ridiculous.

oooo this seems like a great deal, but i'm gonna have to pass.

I was going to buy some, but since they seem to be crap, I'll pass up on it this buy.

Do you mean the picture to the left, directly under your username? If so, that is called an avatar. To create one for yourself, go to the User CP, then edit avatar. There you can upload one or select one of the pre-created ones for your use.

Yep me too. MIR are totally a scam.

The True Religions are real nice. Paper Denim & Cloth are comparable, but they seem to be just ever so slightly stiffer. They have odd button placements too ... like I have a "snap" thing right on my crotch. If you're going to buy a pair, they seem to run a bit longer on the guys side. I don't know if it's the same for women, but their 30/30's are more comparable to a 32/30. The Abercrombie guy's jeans can be a bit funny too. I recommend staying away from any of the jeans that are pre-ripped. They look cool, but I always get my toes caught in the holes, and basically rip them in half, so I've gave up on them. My room mate basically wears them exclusively, but he's a nancy boy and takes longer to get ready than most women. At least you have stores named after the towns. If they were to do that on Ohio, we'd have stores named like Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, or Tuscarawas.

I think I've mentioned this before; I time stamp all my jeans I buy. While the Hollister & AF Jeans are more expensive, they last considerably longer than the Union Bay, Old Navy and even American Eagle jeans that I own. Comparing to some AE jeans I bought about 4 years ago, which are now basically trash, my Abercrombie jeans still look nearly brand new. Not only that, but they do fit much better than most other brands. Though I do have to admit, my Paper Denim & Cloth jeans & my True Religion jeans easily stomp Abercrombie in terms of how they fit. The term, you get what you pay for, does actually apply. The clothes at AF & Hollister are on the pricey side, but they do last longer and look better.

Axe has cologne now or just the body spray? I wouldn't recommend trying to wear Axe as a cologne -- it just doesn't work.

Whoo! Picked myself up a pair of new shoes $50.00 off. http://www.amazon.com/Clarks-Mens-Kip-Oxford-Black/dp/B000ET9AWG/sr=8-1/qid=1167107895/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-8419116-5111859?ie=UTF8&s=apparel

I have an avatar? I must've turned them off and forgot. I thought Brad/Ross killed them due to the increased traffic. It all made sense to me! Hope you all got some good stuff. There's this odd pounding going on in my head right now, consistent with the manner of a hangover, so me heading out today doesn't sound like a good idea.

Whoops. I believe it's the 16th & 17th.

No clue on the details, but my Mom sent me a flyer from her "distribution list" (she works at a company who sells to KMart) which was advertising a 40-60% store wide clearance sale. I believe the time period was 5AM - 12PM.

I had to add the product to my cart first, and then it had the price listed.

Steal his wallet and hide it. Then he has no money to buy it. My Mommy told me I wasn't allowed to buy myself any more toys because she doesn't want to buy me something I just bought.
