@Jrsy Devil's Advocate®: Exaggerate much? I built a desktop with a 600MHz processor with a 133 FSB back in 1999. A year or two later I bought a laptop with similar specs. You're only off by 15 years.
Back around 1985 I was using my Tandy HX1000 with a 8086 processor and a floppy drive. (No Hard Drive at all.)
Not griping at you, just getting back to reality. #blackfriday
@Jrsy Devil's Advocate®: Nah I figured as much.... but felt the need to chip in some reality for the younger audience who may not have seen a 533Mhz yet alone a 8086. #blackfriday
@Jrsy Devil's Advocate®: Hahahah. Yeah, that would have been much easier to choke down. I tend to remember there are people significantly younger than I am whose first computer was already in the GHz range. #blackfriday
@bustedchain: I got my first PC in '91. It blazed along at 66Mhz with a whopping 4MB of RAM (I later upped it to 20MB) and a 500MB HD. Went from 3.1 to Win 95 and used it for about 7 years or so before the modem fried. I was going to just get a new modem but I chose to replace the entire thing with something a bit more current. I think I still have the HD from it around somewhere. #blackfriday
@geolemon: Well, since I can't get faster than 5mbps around here, the whole download and watch thing makes no sense to me. Plus, I prefer physical media. So yes, I am going to invest in the core movies I want on Blu-ray.
And my DVD player just died, so I need to replace it anyways. #blackfriday
@jtan: Ok, I am so far in the country, I don't even have lines running to my house. What I need is a larger radio tower on the top of my house, capable of stealing all radio signals.... #blackfriday
We've had those ads in the store for about four days now. *is an office assistant at Sears* Honestly, anyone can just walk in and take 'em. #blackfridayads
I don't try to fight for things like TVs on black friday. Not worth heading out into the snow at 3 am, waiting in line, and fist fighting a mother of 6 for it. #blackfridayads
@anexanhume: Given the collection of other games listed as 50% off, I'm guessing it's the LEGO versions. That would mean 50% off of regular price....but by now, who doesn't already own those games (I own all three for the 360).
Cool, so this means I'll be camped out at Walmart instead of BB this year. Fine by me, at least Walmart has more then 4 checkers working that morning. It took five minutes to find what I wanted last year, and almost two hours to pay for the fucking thing.

You going to invest in a Blu-Ray collection, are you? #blackfriday

Do they mean Arkham Asylum? And 50% off of what price?
I question the status of "leak" given how early it is. #blackfridayads
