Black Friday has come and gone... no worthwhile deals
were found.
I checked on Amazon, Best Buy, Circuit City and Apple.com.... some deals were OK, but nothing spectacular such as the $101 off MacBooks at Apple.com. I wasn't really interested in getting a MacBook, and MacBook Pros had no deals. On top of that, my educational discount probably gets me more of a discount than the black friday deals. Best Buy, Circuit City and Amazon really had no deals that were of interest. Sure, if you want to buy stuff just because they are cheap, you could buy a lot of things, but nothing I really wanted.
So what did I want, but no deals?
1. MacBook Pro
2. Nokia N810
3. Nintendo Wii
4. Good deals on PSP games
5. Great deals on LCD HDTVs
Oh well, maybe next year.....

Black Friday

I never really cared about Black Friday, as a matter
of fact I always thought there was something wrong
with individuals that spent the previous evening
staying up late and celebrating, and the very next
morning crowding shopping malls at three in the
morning for those hard to beat deals. I always
prefered to sleep late and enjoy my day off, or when
I had to work, go into the office and be free to work
without distractions.
This year may be different, I am actually looking forward to black friday! Why do you ask? Well, it's no secret that my aging powerbook (4 years, 1 month old) has been acting up and I have been waiting to get a new MacBook Pro. Now new models may come out in January, but if the deals are great during black friday....well why not just buy one then? I wish Nokia would hurry up and release the N810...so that can go on black friday sales as well.
I wonder if any PSP games will be on sale...
Oh...yeah, I am not crazy to get up a two AM so that I can get in line at some mall entrance...all my shopping will be online, probably on amazon and the apple store (unless my local apple store has a compelling reason for me to go into groupie mode...like $1000 off the price of a MacBook Pro)
