Guest DigDoug Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Great price. I'm looking for a 17"-19" LCD. Hopefully, it will be under $300.I got a 19" LCD for $349 I believe. I would hope they will have some sub $300 ones this year.
mrn8 Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Great price. I'm looking for a 17"-19" LCD. Hopefully, it will be under $300.For a BF deal, I would expect a 17" under $200 and a 19" at around $250 - $275. Actually, you may be able to get a Dell 1705FP by the end of Oct for around $200.
RossMAN Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Great price. I'm looking for a 17"-19" LCD. Hopefully, it will be under $300.You don't have to wait until Black Friday for a good price on a 19" LCD under $300. Just wait for another Dell deal like this
Rebirth Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 You don't have to wait until Black Friday for a good price on a 19" LCD under $300. Just wait for another Dell deal like this Right now, I don't have the money for it. By BF, I'll have enough. But I can always charge it.
Mara Posted September 9, 2005 Author Posted September 9, 2005 With the deployment, there'll be nobody here to stay with the kids while I go from store to store...so I don't get to go out on BF. So I'm much less excited this year than I was last year. Online BF is not the same as waiting out in the cold LOL. You'd think being home would be better but I miss the experience.How old are your kids? Lets ditch them all with my hubby and wait at the PX for the gift cards :) Mara
Mara Posted September 9, 2005 Author Posted September 9, 2005 Just a few more weeks... maybe sooner... but it'll definitely be up by this time next month.YAY Ok hope all the people that didn't preorder the XBOX 360 $400 one will pay out the nose on ebay for it. I preordered 3. One for hubby 2 to sell. They claim after the november batch you won't be able to get them again till Febuary. So what I need to figure out is do I auction them at the launch for those that need it now and will pay big or will I do better with the last minute Christmas shoppers who can't get one. Maybe sell one at launch and one right before Christmas. Ahhh desisions desisions. Any thoughts on that one. My brother sold PS2's on ebay when they launched and got over $1000 a piece for them. The more I get the better Christmas will be this year :) Mara

Personally, I'll probably wait until next BF or post-Christmas to buy a 360, because they will have dropped to a much more reasonable price.
Keebelf Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 don't forget to give yourself enough time to recuperate if you get a Non paying winner.....
Mike Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Mara, Im going to do the same thing. Get my hands on as many Xbox 360s as I can.
Guest DigDoug Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 How old are your kids? Lets ditch them all with my hubby and wait at the PX for the gift cards :) MaraMara - That would be very sweet of you to do for Debbie! It would be great if that would work out for you guys. Debbie deserves to take part in Black Friday with the rest of us! :)
Guest DigDoug Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 IS xbox THAT hot??I guess to parents who have to get their kids every little thing their heart desires, it is. You won't see me buying it at the initial release price let alone an inflated Ebay price (with or without kids).
Mike Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 IS xbox THAT hot??I only hope so. People want the latest and greatest and they don't care how much it costs. Your a bad parent if you don't get your kid an Xbox 360 for xmas. LOL Fine by me...I just want to get paid!
stingygrrl Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Is Gamestop a good place to get all your hardware adn software for those things? (xbox, PSP, whatever). Is there some other shop that's better ?
Mike Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 They're all pretty much the same. Especially for something that is brand new...no one is going to have it for cheaper on launch day.
stingygrrl Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 nah I'm not buying or selling one, I just want to get some idea about the whole videogame thing and who's who
i-bystander Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 nah I'm not buying or selling one, I just want to get some idea about the whole videogame thing and who's who Gamestop and EBGames tend to have inflated prices. For new releases, Best Buy and the like would have them on sale for the first week it's out - after that, they revert to MSRP. Best bet would be local resale/used stores (not necessarily game stores), or Toys R' Us on clearance/close-out. :)

You won't see me buying it at the initial release price let alone an inflated Ebay price (with or without kids). Its that hot to all you 20 something year old gamer's that aren't married and spend thier lives playing games as well. This system is suppose to be a hot item and as always they probably won't have enough to meet Christmas demand Mara
Mara Posted September 10, 2005 Author Posted September 10, 2005 They're all pretty much the same. Especially for something that is brand new...no one is going to have it for cheaper on launch day.From what I can tell they will be about impossible to get on launch day if you didn't preorder one. I preordered 2 at EB and one at Game Stop in July when they first started taking preorder's. Pray they sell for a bunch. I have to sell one before BF cause thats where my spending money is coming from lol Mara

If you didn't preorder one good luck getting one on the launch date. Next order should be in around Febuary. Then you might find deals but not on the first shipment I bet Mara
elena_398 Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 I hope walmart has tvs on sale again. Just need a basic cheapy. I have 4 tvs already, but my son wants one in his room. Pretty much for his game system. Im thinking 15" at least is fine. Nothing fancy. I just hate going to Walmart on Black Friday! I by-passed it last year. Just went to Kmart, Toys R Us, and Kay Bee.
