[quote name='no_exit']No offense, but what a stupid time to buy a console straight up with Black Friday right around the corner. Should have waited a week and jumped on one of the bundle deals.[/QUOTE]
I had a $30 off coupon that I'd been holding on to since their last trade-in deal. I also had promo credits from MW2, NSMB, Assassin's Creed 2, WWE SvR, Forza 3, GTA:ELC, and Dragon Age. I also did the coinstar $40/$10 promo and had a $10 gift card from doing a survey that was posted on SlickDeals. I tried to order a PS3 from Dell over a month ago and that got canceled. I'd been patiently waiting for weeks to order one of these things, and decided to do so after my last promo credit arrived (got it the day after Assassin's Creed 2 came out). I was antsy from already waiting so long, and figured BF wasn't for at least another week, wish I would've known Amazon would have a sale 2 days later. I'm mostly just annoyed that some people got a free game first try (people that ordered beginning of November), and I had to send two e-mails just to get a $20 credit. Oh well, better than nothing I suppose.
