The fact that there are a million people right now complaining about the Prime Day sales being "awful" over in the main thread is proof that people on this site are the absolute worst.

Nah Amazon hyped the hell out of this. Better then BF and then well it isn't. If we can bitch about over hyped games why can't we bitch about over Hyped sales?

I'm sometimes OCD about condition with my handhelds. I did get a really nice New Nintendo 3DS XL (LN) from AWD for $165 but...Factory Sealed from AWD could mean Amazon Factory Re-Sealed. I recently got some other (LN) stuff that wasn't exactly like new so I decided to just go for a NEW one. Sure it was more but it's all funny money flip credit so it's all good.

EDIT: I meant order confirmation, not shipping notice!

Yeah does anyone really care what sideline reporters say or ask?  They add no value to anything whatsoever.  Man or Woman.  So you might as well be hot so we can look at you while the dumbass (a lot of times anyway) athlete says a bunch of cliches or nonsense that isnt comprehensible English.

My prediction:

BB sends out every goddamn last one of these gift cards, all with a value of $15 on them.

Well it would make sense since when you go to a store a Gift Card has no value until someone buys one and the cashier adds the value you chose. You would think that all online orders would be tied the same way. Someone pays $10 they get $10 in credit. And the only way to change that is to have a sale and program a change. Of course this means you can still have issues like this anyway...

But it would be dumb of BB to send out thousands of $15 GC. Too many people will call asking for their money back even though they would be in the wrong and should in no way be given a refund. Its going to cost BB a ton of money to field all the complaints.

TLDR

EDIT: Yes Sage, sending out $200 GC is the worst thing for BB and no way would they do it if they can stop it. I cant imagine they will let them go through if they can help it.

Yeah, but at the same time its still way more cost effective to deal with people demanding their money back than to send them all cheaply acquired $200 gift cards.

Its still in bbys best interest to cancel them all outright after they confirm who ordered what, but sending out thousands of $15 gc isn't exactly the dumbest thing they can do.

If they do get sent out at $200 I'd actually be interested in reading the legalese that fucked them over lol.

It wont be a law that holds them back. Its systemic. There is no law that would require a company to sell products due to a CLEAR mistake. This isnt something ambiguous. It is clearly a mistake that no sane person can argue otherwise.

By that logic I should also call since I decided not to even place an order due to some stupid conscious that I didnt know I even had stopped me from ordering.

I will ask for Amazon GC of course.

 
I'm thinking I might finally try Bojangles today. I believe they serve breakfast all day. If so I'm getting a chicken bisquit. Do they serve it with gravy? I'm looking for a chicken biscuit taco subsitute.

Get a Cheddar-Bo. All it is is warm melted cheddar on a buttermilk biscuit. Mana from Heaven.

Forever salty that by the time I could get to a taco bell for breakfast, they had already stopped the chicken biscuit taco.

Hasn't been a good WH40k game since Space Marine, which fell a bit flat due to the lack of a sequel (and the stupidly QTE end boss.) Hopefully this turns out decent.

I picture him running out of corporate with as many gift cards as he can carry while security is chasing after him. Probably this guy.

Should I buy this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R45US9C/ref=gb1h_img_c-2_0222_392b5dca?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_s=center-new-2&pf_rd_r=1PSSVX2FBSRX8PYT2AHK&pf_rd_i=20&pf_rd_p=2136020222

Wanted it as a replacement to my netbook which is maxed out at 2 GB (this machine goes to 8 GB) and doesn't have HD or HDMI ports (this does).   On the other hand, it's an Acer which I have never owned.

And is it enough to activate the Prime trial to buy? It was $221 and now (oops, typed "not" earlier) showing $170 as the special price.

What should I do?

It shows as sold out for me (the lighting deal), but you can join the waitlist. I think the trial is supposed to work because they said to start your trial for this event on twitter.

Deal is already 100% claimed so you'll need to join the waitlist.

Edit: Crunchy'd.

Oh but wait, Slow Ride is the radio edit.  Booooo!

 
Bo Berry Biscuits are also good at Bojangles.  Pretty sure I got biscuits and gravy and some chicken the time I was there for breakfast.

fuck that with an old standard hard drive. Unless you plan to throw in an SSD which I don't know if you can open that sucker or not.

 
"Waitlist is full".  

Looks like I'm SOL.

Still seems like a good deal @ the normal $221.92 listing unless there's a spec detail I overlooked.

Would love to use it on the road with my portable Blu Ray player.

From the customer Q and A section:

"Can confirm I am running this machine with 8GB Kingston HyperX and 128GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD. The RAM is a bit tricky to install as you must lift the main board, but everything is perfectly compatible.

"Yes on both. You have to remove the motherboard because the RAM is on the bottom, but it's not hard. Only has one RAM slot, max of 8GB stick. Installing the SSD is easy. I used a Samsung 850 evo 250GB."

 
I've already located a celebratory gif for if one of these ships. I haven't looked for a cancellation gif because I'm not even thinking about that.

I'm glad I remembered to cancel my 99 cent 3 month Spotify subscription before they charge me regular price. I like it a lot, but I don't think I use it enough to justify $10 a month just for no ads.
