The Farewell TFN OTT Thread

For those still looking for a tablet, keep on the lookout for Best Buy. They added back the "add to cart" button to the product page and may drop the price pretty soon. Some people even reported that b&m Best Buy's have already started to mark down the prices too.

Best Buy in Northgate had printed signs on the door saying the following:

"Despite all previous advertisements we are now selling at the clearance price" (Paraphrased)

Completely sold out of course, but fuck it, I got my order confirmation from HP and they'll either be shipping Thursday or will arrive Thursday.
 
BB at home had ~20 people in line and 2 32GBs to sell.

I want one of these but I can't sit in front of these computer waiting for Newegg/Overstock/B&N to drop. Sigh.

Keep refreshing. It took me three hours to get my order through due to those errors.
 
Got the Amazon one for $113 and change after 2-day shipping costs. Kind of a waste but I figure with 2 day shipping they'll ship it out today so hopefully I actually get it.

No idea what I'm going to do with it but it should be worth $100 to play around with. My only fear is that since webOS is being discontinued, all of the app support is going to disappear really quickly.

According to HP WebOS isn't being discontinued, only the hardware HP makes. Although that doesn't necessarily mean that the Touchpads will get significant updates.

Good news is the people at XDA forums just started development on porting Android over. A shit ton of people pledged to donate money to the project.
 
Yea, having it with WebOS means I'd have a nice little web broswer/video player. Having it with Android means I'd have a cheap, huge and powerful tablet.

Are you sure you want to delete Bodycount demo?
Yes.[/QUOTE]

Now Soodmeg, you're not giving this game a chance! You're just mad it's not Call of Duty!
 
Meh, I had to drive sister-in-law to airport so I gave up.

Also, we had a Cuban tree frog come-up through the toilet in the guest bath. It scared her badly. Good times.
 
Man, I love getting a great deal on games.

Dead Island? 0.00
MW3? 0.00
Dues Ex? 20.28

Now, I just need to find a way to get NBA2k12, Fifa 12 and B3.....hopefully without spending more than 40 bucks total for all 3. If I can stay under 70 bucks for six games I will be happy.

How? If it's with credit/trades that's not really a deal...Unless I'm missing some crazy deals out there.
 
Google shopping says the 32 gig touchpad (Id rather have the 16) is still avaliable at the best buy and office depot nearby. Unfortunately one kid got up at 6 am, and one at 7. So we're watching the kids in shifts while the other sleeps. Wife probably wont be up until 11 or noon. Factor in lunch time, getting dressed and I'd have no time to get out there and spend $150 I dont have.

Guess it's so bad in Cuba that even the frogs are defecting.

I had to look it up, I'd never seen a tree frog so big. The fucking thing was about 5 inches long and a nasty loamy gray color. Apparently, they're a terrible invasive species that secrete a nasty substance (not in a good way) so I am glad I didn't catch it. It swam back down the toilet when I tried catch it, barehanded with a solo cup no less.

Surprisingly a frog, especially one of this species, emerging from a toilet isn't that uncommon.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']Hellbringer, you notice any of those sites drop the price yet?[/QUOTE]
Nah, I gave up. I just got back online a few minutes ago. Been playing errand boy and mr fixit all morning.

Naw, its just a mix of BandM deals, trade in deals, switcharoos, closing switches,flipping, price matches stacking etc etc. Nothing that anyone here on CAG would be surprised about. Half the fun of gaming is creating deals. If I cant get a game for less than 35 max then I am just not getting it.
 
What? They're still in stock man. Both of them on Amazon, just not from Amazon themselves.

I'm half tempted to get the 32 and sell my 16 I just got, but 16 should be good enough...

SDers are saying that the inventory management for third party Amazon sellers is sketchy so they might not go through.

32 says not available but when you add it to your cart and check out. Item page still says in stock.
IDK WTF BBQS

Edit: Okay went through.

Thanks Rocko.
 
Statistical Significance :cool:

Assuming I did everything correctly.

See, I was using my time 1 - time 2 difference scores as the dependent variable, then Age, Intervention methods and Fidelity as the independent variables.

Changed it to scores at time 2 as the dependent, and scores at time 1, intervention, fidelity, intervention * Fidelity (interaction term) and age and now hit significance.

Stats is fun!
 
Thinking about returning mine. I just saw everybody talking about it and for some reason I bought one. Good going brain you screwed up once again.
 
Can anyone explain what they are going to use their tablet for? I know these things are cheap, but I just don't understand their utility.
 
I just bought it as a toy, honestly. I've always thought iPads were cool, a friend of mine has one and it's neat to fuck around on, but not for $400 or whatever iPads go for. But for $100 it will just be cool to play with.
 
I'm going to use it as a lightweight video/web browser that I can lay on the couch/in bed with, take to the shitter, carry around to work, etc. If Android gets on it, I'll use it as a dev platform for games.
