Black Friday sales for MAME builders
erictrumpet:
This auction just ended. PS3 preorder sold for $3,800. Many of these auctions are probably bogus, but surely some are legit. Think about it, if you were a millionaire, and you simply HAD to have a new PS3 this Christmas, what's $3K? The home theater in which you will be playing with it probably cost 6 figures, so another 3 grand to a rich guy like that is totally "worth it."

If you're a millionaire odds are you have no spare time to play video games. Or your secretary is buying it for your kids to keep up with the neighbors.
One thought I've had on the Black Friday thing... for those, like me, who hate the stores, I wonder how many of these deals can be had elsewhere online with a little vigilance. Take that 32" LCD... a little searching turns up better models than that one at the same price without rebates online. I was thinking of waiting in line that day to pick up the 32" LCD but instead ordered one that arrives monday. So perhaps we're getting to a point where the same deals can be had without waiting for hours in the freezing cold.

has anyone checked out the compusa ad? one deal seems too good to be true. its the cell phone get a free psp and all this other stuff.

does anyone have a better scan of the ad so i can read the fine print?
ChadTower:
Odds are it comes with a long contract for a pricey service. Several years long. That's how they usually do that for the really good "freebies".
SithMaster:
hmmm
what about the EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GT from circuitcity, is the tv encoder good?
its a step up from my card (a pci 5500) and i was planning on getting a hauppage card soon. if it has decent encoding then ill get it instead of the 150 mce (it wont come with a remote but i really dont need it).
