Today is Black Friday, I planned on making this thread earlier but I've been so busy over the past few weeks it's killing me.
But anyway, anything you guys are planning on buying?
Last Black Friday I bought only a few things, bunch of computer accessories, a few bluetooths for my phone (used one, sold the rest), and that's about it.
This year so far I've ordered thermal paste (I've run out), I also plan on getting a new Router (mine is crapping up lately, booting me from the internet begging for a restart), a new mouse (my 1000 dpi 5 year old Dynex is showing wear), a new headset (my current sound works fine but mic does not, I haven't been able to make my programming tutorials in months because of it, I didn't really try), more RAM for my PC (looking to add another 8gb), a new hard drive for my old pc so I can turn it into my second home server (currently doesn't have one because I transferred it to my current, new pc), and a new TV for my parents.
My sister also wants an iPod and a Camera, will probably get her both since I wasn't able to for her birthday a few months ago and cover for Christmas at the same time.
And I keep checking newegg and tigerdirect for deals, tons of stuff I want but have to be careful on how much I spend or what to buy, because I tend to buy stuff I never use.
What's on your wishlist?

My Christmas list is pretty much just a 3DS, Tales of the Abyss for the 3DS, and the new Blade Runner 30th anniversary digibook blu ray. Also thinking of asking for the RahXephon dvd set.
Can't really afford a lot this year lol

I want 3 monitors for myself. Don't know why... but I've always wanted dual monitors. Then saw an awesome gaming set-up with 3 and figured, why stop at 2?! lol But yea, I've found some really good deals on them so far. Tiger Direct had some niiiice monitors for $120 a piece.

I only got two things for black friday, both online. I got a new graphics card from Tiger Direct, it's a GTX 560. I bought a new motherboard and Processor last Christmas, so this is the last thing I'll need to update for a little while. It was 280, but it was marked down to 140 dollars, so pretty good deal, it's a Evga brand, which I've found to be pretty good.
The other thing I got was a new tennis racket, I've been needing one for while, got it from tennis warehouse. It's a Prince EXO3 Ignite, it's suppose to have one of the best controls for a tennis racket, great for putting spin on the ball. IT has lower power though, so you have to generate that on your own. It was originally 190 dollars, but marked down to 70 dollars. I did custom string though, I kind copied Roger Federer's string, I got Luxilon BB ALU rough on the crosses 16L, and for the mains I used Natural Gut 16. Those were sadly not on sale, so I ended up paying about 40 dollars for those, so it was a total of 130 dollars.
Wish I had more money to blow, I would have picked up a bunch of movies and games. I'm still debating on borrowing 30 dollars from someone so I can get dishonored. It's on sale at game stop for 30 dollars new, it's originally 60.

That's an awesome deal on the graphics card :D And you should totally get DH. My husband played it and loved it. Said it's a really good game :)

Hopefully I'll get Black Ops 2 for Christmas, and past that I'm working a new job so sometime around/after Christmas I'll be buying a new vehicle and hopefully upgrading my computer!
....if I can stop spending money on Steam, and stay away from Cyber Monday sales that is.

Those are great deals. Especially the gpu. I don't know too mucha bout tennis though :P
And I knew I should have bought the Belkin router that I saw last night, sold out today (about 40% off). But bought a new mouse and headset. I still have a bunch more to buy but I'm getting close to my spending limit for now. Wish I was rich.

I actually just ran to Target to get a $120 digital camera for $60 for my sister. Was worth the drive. Checked everywhere online to make sure, no other place had it for less than $120.
Now I have $60 to spend on other stuff.

all I wanted (& was saving up for) was a ps vita, i ended up getting the bundled version, though I really gotta change the memory card, 4GB ain't really feeling it. I got some laptop accessories, & a terabyte HD. some good deals, glad I didn't go over $200. ;D
cyber monday, I might look there for a USB hub. newegg would probably be a good idea right?

Heck yea. I always check NE for everything first lol
So, I ended up doing some investigating and my computer can't handle 3 monitors :((( I ended up getting a second so I can dual though. Very nice 27"(Full HD 1920x1080 resolution, HDMI and DVI with HDCP and VGA inputs, etc), got it from NewEgg for $249 on sale from $399 and a Logitech G510 keyboard (that I can make light up purple, oh my glob!) on sale for $50 from $119.... Also got AC 3, Playstation All-Stars, Orcs Must Die! 2 and Portal 2.
