Possible Deals, COMPUSA closing 128 stores.

Drove by the one in San Jose, saw someone holding a sign for 20%. Couldn't read the details, but I'm guessing it was up to 20% off, not 20% off everything. Speaking of mythical, What adds to that for first-timers is that some (most?) of them have 'themes,' at least the ones I've been to in...

Costco 32" LCD Deal ........In and out of stock

Yup, it'll cycle through 15, 30, 60, 90 & 120 minutes. The cheapo remote it comes with even has a dedicated sleep button. That's nice, on my older TV I'd have to go into the menu system to do that. Also, you can program it to turn off (and on) at a specific time, if you'd rather do it that...

Hot! Maui Jim Kona sunglasses: $149.00 shipped

Just remember, if you ever DO break them, you can send them in for repair: http://www.mauijim.com/mjweb/public/repairloc/index.jsp For example, $60 for replacement lenses. Not too bad if you have the $300+ versions. Just have to tell this story, a year ago or so I dropped mine 2 times...

WD 400GB SATA/150 for $149.99 @ Costco, YMMV

Almaden. Look for the laptops, they're under them on the bottom shelf near the floor. There were about 15 left on 5/10, I forgot to post about this until today.

WD 400GB SATA/150 for $149.99 @ Costco, YMMV

At my local Costco (San Jose), I saw these at $189 last week, they lowered to $149.99 this week for some reason, no coupons or rebates needed. Not sure if they're at all Costco's, and I couldn't find any internal drives online at Costco.com. I believe I've read these are among the quietest and...

NOT HOT. netflix delays shipping on purpose

It might be partially due to where you live. By your profile I see you're in Texas, which implies a greater delay in sending/receiving movies. I live in the Bay Area, about half an hour from them. Before, if I sent a movie out today, it would get there the next day, and the next movie would...

NOT HOT. netflix delays shipping on purpose

Wow, I missed that story. I've been a Netflix member for many years, since almost right after they started, and have had a quick turn around the entire time until the past 4-6 weeks. Suddenly, all my movies get delayed. Also, if they get 3 in at once, they now NEVER send 3 out on the same...

Kung Fu Hustle DVD

Yup, went to SF Chinatown and got the DVD for $10. I thought it was pretty funny too, although less humor than his usual movies, because there's more kung fu. Think I'll watch it again tonight.

Preorder Half Life 2 Collector's Edition for $59.82!

Mine finally changed to SHIPPED! I ordered mine 8/9. Says it will be delivered 11/23 though. :/ Guess I'll be playing WoW for a week more, which is fine by me. Perhaps to save $$. This is a bargain forum, after all. :) Plus, there was no 'guarantee' it was going to ship later. As...

Everquest II Deal Thread

I've was in the stress test for WOW, and thought it was OK. I spent a LOT of time playing it, got 2 toons above lvl 10 and 3 to around 7-8 but didn't seem to find it as enjoyable as most of the others here seem to have. Good, fun, but not 'must have.' Maybe because I haven't gotten high...

GUILD WARS preview is ON (a day early)

Nice! I hope mine are still there! Downloading now... Are there any changes in gameplay since then? I didn't see anything at the Guild Wars site about it, but I only looked quickly.

Pioneer Black DVD+RW/-RW Drive, Model DVR-108, OEM

I've had mine for around 2 months I think, and I love it. Haven't burned a single coaster except when trying to burn some 2x media at 16x just to see what would happen. Plus, throw in the continuing hacked firmware updates of >Nil and others, it's great. With hacked firmware, I'm burning 8x...

PNY 512MB Secure Digital - Office Depot - $34.97 No Rebates

I had a similar issue; I picked one close to me, but the printable invoice is weird. The "Pickup Info" shows a location further away, which turns out to be their warehouse, and the "Location" actually shows the one I originally selected. I called both customer service and the location, neither...

WARM HP+Ipod 40gb $379 at Costco

I suppose it might be a YMMV thing. I thought it was non-lifetime for computer systems only, not parts; maybe it varies by location. Regardless, I don't think an Ipod should be classified as computer parts but electronics, which should have lifetime coverage. Just checked, the mini is $269...
