The Wang Out - "Gary Was Here" Edition: lol ash is a loser

[Zaladane]

I will look forward to it.

except now, almost everyone has ps3's and I don't

All of the retailers around here (locally) I've asked claim that the 4GB is only available bundled with kinect.

I was surprised, because I was sure you could get it without it.

[Zaladane]

I don't live in a major city. I wouldn't even really call it a big city (about 80,000 people, give or take). And, like I said... different country. Different traditions. Most of the places around here to buy electronics are big chain stores, and the employees there would get fired for cutting deals like that. So they don't. We sell electronics at the store that I work at, and you can bet your left nut if one of my colleagues in that department was ever caught doing that, they would be terminated within minutes.

This.

There may be a few places on the mainland but it's still mostly bigbox here too. Unless you can haggle with a manager you're screwed.

I live about 20km's away from a city of around 80k (give or take).
Stores here compete against one another any time of the year with prices and deals.
You can ask anybody in a store for a deal, and they'll go off an confer with the store manager about it....or sometimes they don't even have to do that.
Nobody would get fired for doing price deals here.......as long as they follow whatever store guidelines are applicable.

Or threaten a sexual harassment lawsuit if they don't comply with what you want...

It may actually be possible here dude.
Most big store employees are snot nosed kids that don't know anything about actual hardware.

You know.....morons

There we go. Gimme a deal or I'm gonna sue you for placing your hand on my thigh!!!

x key huh, that can happen when

it's amazing when appropriate smilys appear. Speaking of which can you pick your faves now for the smile list???

[Colamisu]

Ouch yeah they are pricey. I'm not gonna go crazy 50 inch or anything. My place is small anyways so even around 30 inch is fine for me. Then the hdmi cable for the box will be expensive too. Damn bastards, why do accessories have to be so expensive?

There's no noticeable difference between 1080p and 720p on televisions smaller than 40 inches. True story.

And also, yes you can. I think.

well then I guess I could go for 720p. If it's cheaper I'm happy!

yup just picked em. Now it's 15 instead of 10

[deadlegion]

I think that's a bit of a gross generalisation.
It really depends on factors.......like the source, the quality of the tv, the type of tv, if the person has perfect eyesight.

It's a topic people debate about all the time.....but specifics must be involved.
