Great list! Thank you for taking the time to make it.

Hey CAG, I've been gone a while, but finally got the Xbox One since the prices were dipping so low. Picked up Fallout 4, what else do you think is a must have for the One that I've missed?

I have the Kindle 3 (wifi only) and I really like it. Pro: -Great screen -Loads of old books for free -Light -No need to hold open a book Cons: -Can't loan e-books from the library (you can on the nook) -no touch screen/color The Kindle or Nook are both good choices, try them out at Best Buy...

Green Bay, 45

Just wanted to check to say my "old" edition 360 had its: 3rd RROD (first out of extended warranty). I got it fixed at a local game store for $40. Just to rub salt in the wound, 10 days AFTER the 30 day "fix" warranty it gave me the: 4th RROD. I fixed it this time with help from youtube and...

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it; however, Play'nTrade (in Belton) fixes the RROD for $40. That's the good news. The bad news is that mine RRing'd again 14 days after the 30 repair warranty expired. So...this time I fixed it with some youtube instructions and a $3 tube of thermal gel from...

I wouldn't even trust your caller I'd. Perhaps you should look up the number for the police and see if it matches. Also, if you got along with a couple of the teachers, call them directly and tell them what is going on and that you are trying to find out who is using your account. If they are...

A common misconception. Your suggestion does not account for risk. Would you take out a second mortgage on your house to make an investment that is slightly higher than the interest on the loan? Most people would not; yet, the idea of using a 0% interest loan to "save" the money is the same...

Thanks OP.

I'm sorry to say there is not much around here other than the occasional YMMV sale that you happen across. I have discovered that when there is a good national deal, the stock is gone at the stores first thing. I firmly believe that there are a few EBayers or hoarders that hit the stores in a...

The TREK store gives away water bottles like candy. I usually get a snail mail coupon for one once a year. What I really want is that wheel set.

First of all, congratulations. Second, don't worry about your ring yet; you can go together to get that sorted out after you've popped the question. I'll assume that you have talked with your special someone about what she would like in a ring before, so I won't go into types or styles of...

There was a documentary a few years ago called "A State of Mind." It was about the North Korean Mass Games; the imagery was absolutely stunning. It's strange to think of something so beautiful coming out of such a rigid and controlling society. However, the Mass Games are likely only possible...

I would pay "asking" price if I were wealthy. Since time is money, the money I saved by bargain shopping has to be more than I the price I would pay to not have to hunt for the right price. I'd probably just order everything from amazon so I wouldn't have to bother driving to stores to find...
