i'm thinking post-holiday madness maybe...
i bought a canon digital rebel xti.
but i avoided the stores. online shopping ftw. yeah i gotta wait a few days, but i saved 60 more by not having to pay sells tax. plus i didnt have to put up with people. i love the interwebs.
edit: its for me. i will not be giving gifts nor recieving them this year. family already gets my money.

Hmm... Did you buy the arcade model or the pro model... if you went with the pro model you would of got Forza 2 for free with Ultimate Alliance, so you got ripped off. But if you went arcade model (boo) then meh.
Anyways I got an 30GB zune from Toys'r'us for $80 didn't even have to wait in line in the morning, strolled in at about 5 in the afternoon and picked it up from the managers office.
Edit: Sorry I ment free as in Forza 2 and UA come free with the system, package by microsoft.

Nah I didn't get the pro model, I would have liked the pro but i'll just have to get the hard drive another time and I didn't really want that spiderman game (or whatever it was)

^^ yay! Glad they're replaced.
As for Black Friday, I got sweatpants (I needed them for this winter) and some underwear. I bought the kids some stuff but we didn't do too much shopping... I wanted to avoid it, but meh.

Not my color of choice, neon green, and don't quite get loud enough to drown everything out at the gym but beggars can't be choosers.
I can't thank you enough for the ipod, though. I use it every day.

That's all I wanted. To give it a place where it would get used. I didn't really use it enough... and my sidekick duos as a music player so I had no need for it.
No rebates for me...

I picked up this toy on my drive back from TN in GA from a little shop in the middle of nowhere at 9pm that I saw open after dinner. Got a nice Rok Sak bag with it and the guy gave me a couple straps, a tuner, and a few cables after I sat and jammed with him a bit. I didn't need any of it, but he insisted and just put it in the bag. It's just so comfortable and sounds very rich. Nothing special, but I needed an acoustic/electric to plug into my equipment. Time to hit up some coffee shops .
That makes 4 acoustics and no electrics lol.

Thanks. Even though I prefer seeing the grain of the wood, the finish caught my eye as well. And yeah, small shops with cool owners rock ^_^Sweet I like the finish on it.. I have a semi hollow electric that has the same type of suburst finish on it just a little lighter. I love the smaller shops like that one people are usually so nice
Not a darn thing this year.
Last year I waited in 14 degree weather all night from 10:00pm to 6:00am at Home Depot(!) for one of eight 42" 720p LCD TVs they had for like $369. Fantastic deal, though the standard tuner in it has gone out. HD receiver and all the other inputs still work fine. My brother and I were second in line (brought two people for redundancy... both to ensure our getting one of the TVs and to trade off time in the car for warming up/naps). An old middle eastern man and a soccer mom were actually wrestling on the ground over the last TV.
Manager almost called the cops and vowed to never carry the TVs again!
