End of Year Bargains: Found any?

Post by Soontir C'boath »

I for one found a 1GB Sandisk flash (thumb/travel/jump/whatever) drive for twenty bucks (orig. $60) at Staples

What have you found?
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I could have bought Rome: TW and it's expansion, Barbarian Invasions, for around $30 AUD at EB on Xmas Eve. But I didn't.

Bought an Archos 604 30GB with TV recording docking station for £250. Seemed like a good deal to me.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat + set of Bongos + extra set of Bongos for $9.99.

At all GameStops. Deal ends tonight. It's not labeled in store but it'll come up at the register.

I bought it twice to get four bongos, now I just need to get my hands on Donkey Konga (which has a four player mode).

I snagged a copy of the Blade Trilogy box set for $22 at Virgin, when it's normally $60. Also picked up a crapload of movies there for $10 each. I could have gotten the first three seasons of Smallville for $60, but decided not to.

I got the entire Total War series for $50. Picked up Civ 4 and Heros of Might and Magic 5 for $20 each. I'm going to have to upgrade my machine to play the later releases in the Total War series though.

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.
