I would have assumed 2TB.

Sorry, typo, it was a 2TB drive for $64.99 back in July

Also bought the 8GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600MHz

I hate my life with regards to BF3. Was on vacation when it released, so I bought it when I came back and barely have had time to play. Since then I've had like 4 copies offered to me for free, and half the stuff I want to buy also come with BF3 for free.

><

I think I'm going to pass on the Intel SSD - I can't overcome the fact that it is old gen technology. I think I'm going with the 120GB Force GT for $150.

You should have taken the 4 copies and surreptitiously sold them.

I already own a much faster Crucial SSD so a SATA II Intel doesn't bug me too much. The Crucial will benchmark significantly faster but in real world usage, you don't even notice it really.

Yeah, it's crazy and I was going to wait but I just read or saw somewhere that the flooding in Thailand is getting worse.

Just purchased Batman for PS3 at Deerfoot Walmart. They had about half dozen left.

Origin has a bunch of EA games on for half price. I picked up Madden 12 and Portal 2 for just under 60 bucks after shipping.

At the Flames sale at the Dome I picked up a 09-10 Pro jersey for $100. They still had quite a few left.

AFAIK the only difference between that year and the current jersey is the one I bought has the RBK logo on the back, and now it says "Reebok."

I keep buying the Eneloops from DELL... someday, I'll have enough remote flashes to need them all.

Love those rechargeable batteries from Dell, they work awesome and I don't need to worry about my Wiimote and Xbox 360 controllers draining all my batteries.

Just picked up that 8 port Gb switch from Dell. $23 is a killer deal considering I paid $50 for my last one.

Yep, me too ... and I ordered Iginla sewn on numbers, for a grand total of around $160 .... cant beat that. I so much prefer the Authentic jerseys over the replicas; they arent even comparable.

I wonder if they sold them all. When I was there at 5, there was probably still 30 jerseys remaining.

It makes me wonder if a new primary jersey is just around the corner for next season ....

I don't think its a black Friday sale, but Sears has their Kitchenaid stand up mixers for sale.

My wife has been bugging me for years for me to buy her a yellow or red mixer. I've periodically checked sears over the years and the coloured ones seem to never go on sale. Seems like Kitchenaid mixers everywhere are on sale with Sears being the cheapest. I could be wrong, and maybe the coloured ones do go on sale regularly but i've never seen it. The white and stainless steel ones go on sale regularly, but according to my wife they just aren't the same.

I picked her up the 5 quart one for $349. Regularly $499. Lots being sold, they didn't have that much left. Good xmas present for her. She bakes stuff and I get to eat it. Win win, right?

The $399 one is on for $279.

today at bestbuy.ca i got a shaw gateway and portal for $299. i saved about $50, but since i was going to get it anyways i figured it was a good deal.
