i'd go for the 610 for $50 in a bunch of places instead.
granted, it sold out on newegg and it's $60 on best buy. but if you're gonna spend more than $20 on a keyboard just go to mechanicals. major branded ones with cherry reds or browns can be typically gotten for $40-60. mechanical keyboards that aren't cherry can be gotten for less - monoprice has some for around $15-20 even.

i mean the base is $99, it's the visa checkout deal that changes it. adding any filler to get you over $100 means that should you check out with that you will see, before paying, it drop the price to $75.

Yakuza Ki-something is also $15 there.

i'm not very knowledgable on speakers, sorry. i can tell mostly just the basic stuff but usually i go by content in reviews to get a better idea of what i'm getting.

PS4 Pro deals so far are basically $350. maybe something will stack with it, like a masterpass/visa checkout/chase pay deal. monitors... yeah should check to see what's there before masterpass dies. though i don't think you'll get most stuff there - android pay deal last year was $15 off $100 i think. most monitors you're after are going to be at or around that price point since you don't want a primary one. we'll know if that thing exists by friday.

okay, so if you don't have the .edu email to go with this random sale nobody gets, there was this too:

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1334897-REG/samsung_mb_mc128ga_am_evo_128gb_micro_sd.html

same card, $30. that's what it should be, sale-wise, and is one of the fastest and most reliable ones on the market.

also no tax out of NY.

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

...hm, the newegg game deals are good.

$25 for the PC versions of Evil Within 2 or Wolfenstein
$17 for Prey
some Windows 10 games that i'm quickly going "NOPE FUCK OFF" to but their Xbone variants might be alright (e.g., Gears of War 4 for $18).
$20 for the Yakuza 1 steelbook version, nice. best buy's price there. 0 for $30 too.
but it's live at midnight ET, basically. 3 hour flash sale for later in the day.

newegg 24h sale.
http://promotions.newegg.com/NEemail/Nov-0-2017/Thanksgiving_rsdo825v_23/index-landing.html

important thing is that the masterpass $200 deal (checkout with it, get $25 off) is still live. dies at 3AM ET though!
so potential RX 580 (4GB) for $176, if you get a cheap filler (cable).

update @Lopen

are you familiar with Unidays?
basically if you've got a .edu email you get discounts. one of them is a Samsung discount, seems some stuff is being sold at some weird discount through 'em. i don't know it yet but some shit is crazy cheaper... like this 128GB microSD card.
be sure you login to unidays first.
https://www.myunidays.com/US/en-US/partners/samsung/access/online

then add this to cart, limit 2 for the deal supposedly. i didn't question it, 2's enough.
https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/memory-cards/microsdxc-evo-plus-memory-card-w--adapter-128gb--2017-model--mb-mc128ga-am/

Well, my phone died today.

Was a nexus 5x (as that what project fi had that worked when I joined up)...

now I need to get one of these phones if I want to stay with them:

Pixel Model G-2PW4100 (North American version)
Pixel 2 (All versions)
Pixel 2 XL (All versions)
Pixel XL Model G-2PW2100
Android One Moto X4 (North American versions)

any sales on them?

like GoldSlime said, Moto X4 is an easy one that's found on sale. among other Moto phones, depending on carrier.

you also are picking phones that don't have a headphone jack - does this matter to you? because that's worth mentioning. and you seem to be wanting to go with something that's stock Android, so consider the Essentials phone. its aftermarket price is quickly plummeting because of the Sprint deal, already it's around $300-350 on swappa and should keep dropping as the sale continues. it's what i'm currently using and is pretty nice.

(no headphone jack there either, unfortunately.)

only other big phone i can think of worth mentioning if you want a clean android would have to be the OnePlus 5 or 5T, especially the 5T if a student email exists as that thing looks incredible. it ain't stock exactly but it's pretty close, with most tweaks being done for usability.

Any good deals on micro sd cards because I need one for my Switch

best buy has a 128GB microSD card for $30, if you did any of the gift card deals they had it's an easy one. will be this one in a few hours, assuming it goes live Thanksgiving:

oh i wouldn't worry about using GCs, that'll happen anyway.
meanwhile i'm just steadily finishing up my best buy shopping. Overwatch is in a weird spot with GCU - technically it's in the ad for $30 but it's also being priced at $30 by Blizzard.

the latter overrides the former, $30 with GCU's 20% discount hits.

in a weird bonus sale, these speakers cost $30 instead of $50, which is what the ad lists them as.

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/logitech-z533-multimedia-speakers-3-piece-black/4415403.p?skuId=4415403

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

uh... hm.
21.5", 1080p, 5ms refresh, TN screen, HDMI/DVI/VGA...

that's a standard monitor, no bells and whistles to it.

i mean for $70 it ain't bad but that depends on what you're after now.
a 3 monitor setup? IPS would be ideal due to viewing angles being much more limited on TN panels, you'd def notice the color changes hard. depending on the inputs in your main monitor, you might want something with displayport (it can daisy-chain multi-monitor setups).

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

well yes, goku was testing gohan's power, which is why he was getting his ass kicked. gohan told him to go max, goku went blue, both hit each other a few times for minimal effect, so goku busted out kaioken and went max power, to test gohan at his own request. i mean you even saw vegeta turn around in shock when the two clashed, pretty clear that goku was going full steam to do it.

10x generally has more red around it than 20, which has pretty defined colors on each aura in the way Goku had it. though granted, you could offset that to animation budget being so much better right now. though either way i'm not sure what you're really arguing here as you were questioning whether Gohan was at SSB levels. by virtue of using SSB + kaioken, Goku readily admits that Gohan is at that level.

and the gohan/frieza fight was completely staged so i'm not sure why you'd bring it up. the entire idea behind that was for gohan to "be KO'd," that's why everyone was surprised when he got right back up like nothing had happened - nothing did. there was no damage and the fight was set up for frieza to be the winner. so far the biggest thing about Gohan is that he's very inexperienced compared to the rest so he ends up being kinda shit, despite the stupidly high power he's got.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

Goku was fighting Gohan at max, that's literally what the fight was about. Gohan repeatedly told his dad to fight him at full power and his dad gradually agreed. even as the two dueled with him in SSB that was said, the entire point was to compare to a maxed out Goku. besides, it was the same aura as x20 too, which is different than the one at x10, and there's no reason DB would ever suddenly go lower just for fun. there ain't much point to going kaioken if you can push out more energy in SSB either, it's a multiplier to go beyond the levels SSB can provide. meaning yeah, Vegeta was already massively weaker than Goku by the time the tournament started.

Krillin's kamehameha being even with SSB Goku's kamehameha was pretty legit of him though, that's true. basically if he pours everything he's got he can momentarily be on par, similar to how Tien's tri-beam was able to stop imperfect Cell despite being massively weaker. the right technique can punch you up.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

i wonder how long it takes to fight poachers to be SSB levels.
will goten and trunks also get a powerup for that?
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

...now that i think about it, Vegeta's in a major slump somehow.
he went powerup after powerup only to now be in a position where:

- Gohan was even with SSB, jobbed to SSB w/kaiokan x20
- Android 17 was even with SSB, unknown how much higher he can be
- Frieza was exactly the same level of SSB

i mean okay, Vegeta did some more hyperbolic training in that form but goddamn, that's three other people who are around his level or better from his own universe. if we get the Piccolo megazord, he could potentially drop out of the top 5.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

SSB with kaioken x20 downed Gohan in one punch.
Goku at SSB was fairly even with Gohan.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

i'm totally down for Universal Savior Kami Piccolo Nail.
the furry universe also gets to stay eliminated, which is a plus.
though i'm not sure what else can really prompt a "Gohan is mad" powerup.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

ah, so they started early. just finished the con here in NYC so am catching up again.
best buy, as usual, will be elite and elite+ members tomorrow.

newegg has the PS4 "sold out," or most likely just pulled from stock. leaves me with some stuff to think about... masterpass makes it possible to get it at <$175~ with something small, gamestop and kohl's (if they put it online) give $50/$60 back but they do charge tax in most places. for NY it's basically a $40-45 difference.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

hell, if we're talking random powerups, Gohan somehow went from meh SSJ to Buu-levels to SSB Goku after training with Piccolo for a day, a guy who probably isn't even at the level of Goku's SSJ2.

and there's still a chance he gets a random powerup. quickest possibility i can think of is something that's going to hurt Gohan, Piccolo gets in the way, dies, and in the process the other person gets DQ'd. Gohan taps into his inner rage-boost and gets something that brings him above the SSB levels, though maybe not on Instinct.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

for a second there i thought she was going to go SSJ3 ala Gotenks but they held back on that.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

based off of Kefla, fusion doesn't eliminate people so if they all went into creating a Namekian God it should be legal. it's easily the best way to 1) save Universe 6 without wishing on the dragon balls, and 2) create a new super fighter that should be on par with the saiyans.

at a technical level, Gohan should also be closer to Ultra Instinct than pretty much everyone else in Universe 7. control, not power is the focus, so Mystic should be the preemptive version of this. but i doubt they'll actually make him relevant in this arc again.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

meanwhile i'm looking at all the newegg deals popping up...

Groupon deal - gift cards. maxes at $200 get $20 extra free. effectively get a bonus 10%.
https://www.groupon.com/deals/newegg-4-national

Masterpass - $25 off $200 from 11/20-11/22. the catch: no promo code can be used with this, no gift cards either it seems. though maybe the latter can be tweaked, somehow.
https://www.newegg.com/promotions/nepro/17-7506/index.html

the former can technically be used to get the typical 1TB PS4 Slim tonight for, what i assume, is $200.

and as these deals appear alongside gamestop's and kohl's on the PS4 i'm... kind of thinking about it twice myself. <_< i still have no use for one, it's just kinda cheap. it's literally just "hey, here's a system you can enjoy eventually?"
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

yep.
it's free after rebate.

they really, really want to get rid of their stock of 360s.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

Gamestop is out and... it's... good? This is going to be a weird year, isn't it.

1TB PS4 - $200 w/$50 GC
1TB PS4 Pro - $350. Just $50 off is so far the best deal.
Used Xbox 360 - $60 w/$60 rebate
Used Wii U - $180

games are... fairly standard ones so far with some others that are "huh, well okay."

South Park - $40 (not worth it, ignore it here)
COD: Infinite Warfare Legacy Edition (aka, with MW) - $35
FF12, FF15, For Honor, GTA5, Fallout 4 GOTY, Overwatch, Persona 5, Yakuza 0 - $30
Nier Automata, Tekken 7, Witcher 3 Complete, Evil Within, Wolfenstein, Shadows of War - $25
KH 2.5, KH 2.8, Uncharted 4, Rainbow Seige, Rise of the Tomb Raider, World of Final Fantasy, Bioshock Collection, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Prey, Halo Wars 2, RE7 - $20
Injustice 2 - $15
Last of Us PS4 - $10

they also have some used Wii U games on sale, Smash, Mario Maker, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon as $30 or 3 for #60.
used games also exist for PS4 games that are interesting. lol man's sky, Uncharted 4, The Division, Batman: AK are $10 or 3 for $20. Halo 5 is there too, dunno if it's a different category completely or if there's a mix and match.

Toys'R'Us at least upholds the tradition of sucking ass.
---

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

the big thing about these bundles isn't the whole package itself really, it's people reselling afterwards in places like CAG or whatever. stuff like getting Arma: Gold for $0.33, for example, and even that isn't unheard of considering previous bundles with it could've probably gone for a quarter. i mean looking at the list again, stuff like Shadowrun: Returns, Psychonauts, Machinarium - those have been free or are so old and bundled they might as well be. you don't need to keep track of much to realize that half of 'em are previous $1 tier games or less.

but it does help re-bring down Stardew to $6~ again, does give a chance for Darkest Dungeon to be <$8, though it's probably doing that soon anyway since it's often on sale for $10.

i don't know Starbound much so can't comment on that. but those three and Minecraft are basically the only things worth more than $2-3. maybe Move or Die is harder, i don't know that one, though it was a $10 tier one a few months ago (so maybe $4).
