I got the Simpsons seasons too. I think they may have been repackaged...

3 out of the 4 that I ordered have what looks like grease stains on the packaging, under the shrinkwrapping.

How about yours?
 
Can we count the week of Thanksgiving + cyber Monday, since amazon had deals all week?

If so, here we go...most of what I bought were gifts on my two nephews' wishlists...

Shutter Island (for me) $12.99

Target in store Black Friday

LOTR Trilogy blu x2 (for me and gift for nephews) $7.99 each. Best part was I just showed up around 11 am late Friday morning while running some errands, didn't have to deal with lines, crowds, and waiting and managed to find two of the sets sitting in a cart filled with media I'm guessing people had discarded.

I think that just about covers it...so about $850 in gifts, and about $350 for me. Thankfully I have a fuckton of AmEx rewards points (thanks to my business platinum card - business purchases) that I've been cashing in, so all the amazon purchases were paid for with rewards points. I was tempted to pull the trigger on a bunch more game/blu deals for myself, but just couldn't justify most of the want/price ratio, LOL. The deals I passed on just weren't tasty enough for me.

All in all, I'd say I had a pretty damn successful Black Friday/Cyber Monday week, especially for movies. Only thing I would've liked to see is a few more deals on newer games. Would've easily bit on :ps3: Vanquish or :ps3: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow at $30. Oh well, another year in the books. Next up: holiday sales! :D
 
$34.99 for Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.

There weren't many games I was in the market for, and none of the deals were great enough to make me consider a game that wasn't already on my radar. Overall a pretty lackluster Black Friday for me.

DAMN! Lots of good deals and healthy spending, who says the economy is still in the shitter?

I'm fairly broke but still spent $45 on Gran Turismo 5 ($15 at Gamestop after I used a gift card and traded in a game) and Fallout 3 GOTY for $30 on Amazon...couldn't pass this up and can't wait to play the expansions.

I'm still looking around but shouldn't spend any more! Didn't see NFS Shift for $10 but would have gotten that...*leaves to go check Amazon*
