I'm hoping we can get the iPad mini for my in-laws. Will make it easier to Facetime them with our little one and our iPad.

I picked up a few things on their sale, will be watching for a couple of others tonight to see if I can get them

Better be one freakin awesome ad by HD for them to be THIS secure about it. I mean it better be buy 1 Bolt Get Rest Of Store Free or something.

I think one of the largest limiting factors you're going to see in most consumer brand laptops like those you mention is going to be the graphics that are built in. Intel has always been behind the curve in integrated graphics but usually makes up for it with a little more CPU muscle, the part where that can cause issues is games where they tend to rely more on the card and how it can process scenes. If you can find something with say an nVidia GT XXXM (replace X's with number) or an ATi Dedicated you will get a smoother overall frame rate. Now this will become a bigger issue as they start to want to play more than Minecraft, most modern games will destroy an integrated gpu.

Actually I have gotten BB to price match many times on BF, the major exception is that the item CANNOT be a Door Buster and must be able to be verified in stock locally. Outside of that I have had them match a TV and a few other things. Sometimes you just have to ask the right person and be extra nice. lol

Lowes seems to have them in a variety of price ranges. Some seem to be pretty decent deals but not killer in my eyes.

I would like to know about that gift card also. It's on the list for our nephews.

Ya according to the ad some have decent points value.

Ya they are getting a few things at the BF prices already.

Ya I was hoping for better deals on Appliances but so far they are just eh.

Looks like we won't be getting to do much this year. Delays in construction it's looking like week before or week of Christmas before we move. OH YAY lol

Just an FYI the 60" Sony TV is actually a 60Hz not 120Hz as Walmart has it listed. I looked on Amazon and Sony's site.

Lowes has some pretty good pre-black friday sales going on right now for washers and dryers. We are looking for all appliances right now so I keep watching the ad's.

Some people have to try and ruin it for everyone

All 3 worked for me 100 more points lol

Santa is pretty good he knows who to wrap for and not to wrap for

We are a small family but it's organized. We pass out the presents to the 3 of us (usually my wife hands them out) then we let my daughter open all of her's then she helps us open ours.

I'm thankful for my awesome wife and daughter, the rest of our family, great friends, both having good jobs that we get enjoyment out of and just overall that the lord has blessed us.

We have been doing things like LED Flashlights, travel shampoo (good brands), candy, little games and various other things.

You could always use an RF remote for this, I have used them in the past for components that aren't in the same room. With the IR Blaster it works really nice. Also is a great help when my daughter decides to park her toys in front of the electronics so the IR port is blocked.

Most years I don't ask for anything in particular, usually when I want or need something I just get it at that point. But the last few years I've held back on that and leave some things I would like for my wife and daughter to be able to buy things for me for my b-day and Christmas. This year with us building our new house I've told my wife if she is able to find a good deal I would like one of the cordless tool combo kit's, one with a drill, impact driver, saw and a couple batteries.
