yeah, gamestop i have little value for because they're serial cancelers.

i mean they're right to do so but this season is all about every advantage the consumer can get in a super commercialized "day."

which reminds me, thanksgiving candy ain't even a thing anymore.

yeah all orders were canceled, buuuut i did get a $5 gift code for each order.

used them all on eshop credit, got $60 eshop for $25 out of pocket

Wait how did you get $5 gift codes? All of mine got canceled and I didnt get shit.

Essentials deal is live currently.
Paid it off.
Put TMobile sim, works perfectly. As it should, don't think there's carrier versions of it.

So far so good. One more step remains until it's completely mine...
---

What Essential Phone deal is it?
---

Pay $25 up front, $5 for 18 months.

So...
Pay the cost off immediately if possible, the phone should be yours. 5x18=90.
Add $25, $115 plus tax and some fees here and there I think. Activation cost is $30 too. Though I believe that's refundable if within 3 days.

...that's it. The phone, once paid for, is effectively yours.

Works with new activations or existing lines on sprint. Sprint's doing a similar deal with the G6 again Black Friday and what I'm doing worked then too for those who tried. In aftermarkets both should have their prices collapse.

If you don't want to go through the full mess, I believe best buy is going full discount and Costco is doing a giant cashback back for it to all mean the same thing.

After all this, I'm gonna use it as my main phone and might put my current Nexus 6 on their free for a year line. ...then do the G6 deal with that.
---

Is that really how it works? I see that Sprint has it advertised for $5 per month for 18 months on the lease plan. But that's a lease, and my understanding is that to buy you need to pay the difference between the lease and full price.

I recently bought a new phone, but this might be good for my brother.
---

You pay the lease off then.
Which is $5 for 18 months.

Complete that, it is your phone.
---

But hey, come tomorrow I'll give you a clear-cut idea of how the best way to do that goes.
---

Looking for a cheap hard drive that's compatible with the Wii U and does not need its own power. So another words the usual
---

Any deals on HP laptops?
---

phone situation is done.
one day to the next worked fine.

bear in mind, if you're super scummy aout it you CAN get the Essentials and the G6, it'd be within the 14 day guarantee. but i don't wanna do that. if you don't want to do any of this, then know that in the aftermarket - ebay, swappa - you'll see both of 'em for <$200 real soon.
---

If anybody sees Nier Automata for like $20 or less ping me

I'll settle for $30
---

Nier Automata listed at 24.99 in the best buy ad.
---

Bump for just $79.95.

I'm seeing a lot of deals for wired PS4 headsets, but nothing for a wireless headset. Has anyone seen one?

My wife's phone just died, thankfully her contract is up this month. She wants a Note 8. Is Best Buy the best place for this upgrade?

Verizon
---

For an S8, yes.

$350 off. Net under $400.
---

I dunno if it's still live but Amazon had a lightning deal for Rock Band 4 with wireless guitar for $42 (only PS4 I think, might be wrong on that though)
---

Wait what? That's for a contract phone right?
---

When can I get a cheap fire had 8 kids edition?
---

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.

Used Xbox 360 - $60 w/$60 rebate

uh

Ok, perusing the ad; wasn't someone on board 8 recommending Everybody's golf? Seems to be 20$ there.
---

yep.
it's free after rebate.

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

Oh man, a free Tales of Vesperia machine!

I mean, I already have a 360, but good for those who may want one.

...Though I could always use a spare for hacking purposes.
---

my store never receives the sale flyers on time

its funny we always have to find out via leaks as well lol
---

KH2.8 for 20 sounds great

do we know what 360 model that is?
---

Oh shit. I might jump on that 360 since I've had two die and I really want to play RDR about five more times before RDR2 comes out
---

They're likely relying on the majority of people being lazy and not mailing in the rebate

I mean my laptop had a $50 rebate on it and I just never got around to it until it was too late so I can definitely see how it happens.

As someone who just mailed in 3 rebates after constructing a PC let me tell you they're a headache in a half and I'm sure they're very profitable.

Like I tell everyone... If you are figuring a rebate into the final price to say it is lower prices... All I can say is... Good luck... Rebates very rarely go off without a hitch.

I have never had a rebate denied. Used plenty of rebates. As long as you are expecting a 3-4 month timeframe, you'll get it. Assuming you can follow instructions.

i had a bunch of rebates when i built my pc last year. they took awhile to come in the mail but it was pretty pain free
---

I had to argue with customer support for a long time to get one of my rebates. The others were painless aside from taking like 15 minutes to get all the information from the stuff and cut the packaging to ribbons

I mean I got them but it was legitimate work put in
---

i just realized the cell phone stuff is part of best buy's early sale

my wife has 37 days left in her current 2 year verizon contract. if i try to pay off the rest of the device tomorrow to upgrade, will i have to pay anything extra beyond the remaining balance for the old phone?
---

How good is the PS4 Gold Wireless headset? Gamestop will have it for $65, and I'd like something decent enough (and wireless).

Is it common to see Google Play Store cards get discounted around this time of year? A few friends and I are probably going to pull the Thanksgiving gacha in Fate/GO but it'd sure be nice to pay less than asking price on that.
---

hey not sure how long it's going but Toys R Us has a screw up going on where coupons stack to get 50% off your entire order
---

Already down.

Yes, Costco has $100 for $83 and I assume others should do similar deals.

I liked them when I used it, even for regular music. Not amazing there but surprisingly good. But you've got a competitive field there.

Still works, but there's not many games at 49% off that are low enough for me to get.

I was gonna pickup The Show, but even at $20 I feel like on Black Friday proper I might get it cheaper.
---

I got breath of the wild and the superstar saga remake for $51, if I looked a bit more I probably could have done better but I was afraid it would die.
---

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?"
---

I guess I'll link my topic here, if anyone wants to help me pick out a deal on a laptop.

I have absolutely no idea what I should be looking for in a second monitor
---

The Sony Black Friday deals have gone live-ish at Gamestop. I got my headphones. I'm not in a hurry to pick up anything else.

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.
---

best buy live for elite members.
...no glitch sale. damn.
