  1. I've never understood the desire for a "gaming laptop".  Its just silly.  It costs twice as much, scrunched keyboard, please don't tell me you're using the touchpad or red nub, you have a screen half as big and you'd be lucky if the battery lasts an hour while gaming.

    If you want to game, really, why on Earth would you want to do it on a laptop?  22 inch monitors are $85 all day long.  Get two or three.

     

    They make awesome gaming cases these days that even have handles so you can take them with you when you want.  And they're not that expensive.  I just bought one with placements for 9 case fans with slide out air filters even (currently using 4 not counting the PSU fan).  $50 at TigerDirect.

    I worked out of town a lot and would game at night with friends online, can't take a tower case, screen and everything else with me on jobs. To be honest though the reason I wanted a high power laptop was I did a lot of 3D work so I wanted the discrete graphics. Yes they get more expensive but just like a desktop the better the equipment you put into the machine the more expensive that machine comes. I used an external mouse and a Nostromo for controls. I hate using the pad for day to day let alone trying to game on something like that.

  2. I'm waiting for it to really take off and all the holiday talk to get started. I love the movie threads and the recipes and all that. Thanksgiving, Christmas has ALWAYS been my favorite time of the year.

     

    I'm also waiting for the call to go out for helpers lol.

  3. Won't pay $200 for the new AppleTV if that's what it comes out as. Rumors have it either $199 or $149 both I think are too much.

     

    I would like a 4K TV but it may end up the one in our bedroom if there is a great sale since we just got a 70" for the living room after we moved into the new house. That one will last a while.

     

    I have a TiVo Roamio Pro in the livingroom with a TiVo mini with lifetime in the bedroom. Nice setup. I always watch what they bring out, have been a customer since the year the original one came out.

  4. Thanks to everyone who replied! I was able to grab the Halo Xbox One bundle with a 40 inch TV from BB several weeks ago for $499. Now I just have to sell my XBOX 360 and the plethora of games and accessories.

    XBox 360 games will work on the Xbox one soon. With the next update they are adding backwards compatibility.

  5. I know it's not even July yet, but for some reason I have had such a craving for Black Friday on Gottadeal the last week or so!  It's like I need to caption some photos, and complain about store hours, and share stories and advice and pictures.  I've been reading through past years message boards, just trying to get my fix. :razz:

     

    SIGH,  :g_shrug:,  4 more months.

    Are you feeling a need to go camp outside of Best Buy right now? :)
