I am sick of watching my expensive cable on a dinky little twelve inch television. I am also over listening to scratchy music on my beat up boom box. I am in the market for a conventional, modern home theater system. It would thrill me to be able to watch my favorite movies on a big flat screen television with surround sound. I am searching for the perfect system to fit my home and life.
Well i bought the wife a new comp, It is an HP with AMD 5600+ dual core. Has 3 gigs of ram. 400 gig hard drive. Windows Vista etc. Cost $750 at Circuit City and i had them pricematch me over at Best Buy since i have a Best Buy credit card. Came with a printer and a 17″ monitor. Great deal and wicked fast. It has some other features like lightscribe and a few other odds and ends.
They have a WII bundle on Walmart.com. Just giving a heads up. The bundle is a pricey marketing Scheme. Was around $630 for a $250 system. A ton of people will buy it tho but you get 5 games, some controllers etc, nothing that special. If you are really hurting for a Wii then go ahead and get one.
So, I went out yesterday evening to try to get a jump start on my Christmas shopping, I figured that if I did it like this I could avoid a lot of the crowds. I am pretty sure that everyone else had that exact same idea, because the stores were packed and traffic was awful. This is why I think I will be shopping online for most of my Christmas presents now. There are a lot of good deals to be found online anyways, so it will work out great!
Well the wifes new comp, as pimp as it is still games like crap. So we are headed to Best Buy to pick up a new Nvidia Video card. The 8500 512mb with 450mhz, should be fine. Cost is like 129$. I will let you know how it goes.
And i will most likely hit up the dvd sale some more, 4.99$ for horror flicks is a steal.
Best Buy has a Wicked Halloween sale. Tons of horror DVD’s at $4.99 through 6.99. I went through and bought some great movies like Critters, Re-animator, Halloween and a ton more. I love the yearly Halloween sale and i eat it up every time. Cruise on over and check out what they go and Circuit City has pretty much the same sale also.
