We all broke af (the Black Friday/Cyber Monday thread)

[Ksandra]

No one made one, so I made one.

Got a meater plus thermometer for $80 on their website (normally $100). Note: this code worked for me: ARKASSIPPI10 which basically helped cover the shipping cost.

That’s all I got.

Anyone find any sweet deals?

[6souls]

I got four tickets to see the Timberwolves vs The Jazz for $4.

[Zealot]

The TV I was looking at is on "sale" for $2999 but that's the same price it's been at since September.

Not seeing any deals on the parts range I wanted to build a new PC, just about $25 off what it would regularly be, not big enough for me to jump today. Maybe Monday.

From keeping an eye on the BAPCS reddit, most of the high delta deals are in the higher end components. So if you were looking to build something in the 1-2k range, you got a nice hunt on.
If you wanted to just spend 600-800 and get good components vs the shit you'd normally get in a prebuilt at that range, no real value today.

Decent entry level speaker system (minus receiver/amp) for $269. Won't blow your socks off but you won't find much better for this price if you just want a fast, usable 5.1 setup. You will need to find a used receiver for $200-300 to run this to your TV though, or a $100 amp for your PC. A good receiver/amp can be used for an upgraded set of speakers later down the line though.

grabbed a Surface Pro 8 which had minimal savings but going abroad for half of next year so yolo needed a new laptop asap + Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones for half price on Ebay. looking for a record player + amplifier but so far 0 luck seeing anything decent on sale.

If for some reason someone still doesn't own an NVME SSD there's a lot of really good deals on them right now. Grabbed a pair of 2 TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus to replace the cheap QLC ones in my NAS for 200 a pop

[Cantih]

Yeah, no excuse to not have a NVME anymore. On the budget side, my parts link has a 500 GB for $60. It's fine unless you need a bunch of bloated games (ARK, Calladoody, multiple current MMOs, etc.) installed at the same time.

If you just need bulk data, there's a shuckable 14 TB WD Elements for $200 - https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsal...sort=new&t=all

Those headphones are fuckin incredible man love mine so much

[Andalusian girls]

hell ya brother i'm stoked

[Gryffes]

Pixel 6 launch price was £600 ( $800 ) , and picked it up on a deal for £359. ( $480 ).
Pretty nuts deal so soon after launch.

Seconding this. I have the previous generation WH-1000XM3's, and they're absolutely amazing, so I'm sure the XM4's are definitely an upgrade.

[Boyiee]

I have the ear bud version, they are in incredible I just wish my ears worked better for that type of bud.

I bought a nest flood light security camera for over my garage.

Was hoping for a 65" OLED for $1500 or less but they are all 1800+, and the 55's are $1300. Don't really want to settle for a vizio but I might. OLED probably a poor choice since it's a well lit room and it's over the fireplace mantle but I don't give a fuck I want OLED.

I have the LG C1 and holy shit is it the best TV I've ever owned. Even popping in an older movie like The Mummy in 4k and everything is so blazingly crisp it's unreal. Pay the extra for LG if you can.

Got a pixel 4 about a year ago. Thing broke on me in under 3 months and google went out of their way to not want to honor warranty lol. That was my first and last ever pixel

That's the one I'm looking at, happy to hear this.

Yeah that's the one I wanted in a 65", that or the Sony AJ80.

I'm still thinking I could pull off a 55" but I think it'll be way too small. We don't really watch a crazy amount of TV, and going from 70 to 55 will be drastic. I always see tvs over mantles and fireplaces being relatively smaller/normal sized so I feel like it'll be fine but the 65 is probably the sweet spot. Just wasn't looking to drop $1800.

Are you in a well lit room? My room is really well lit so I'm also worried about OLED in that kind of lighting.

2 year legal minimum warranty so we'll see

[Krandor]

If you're worried about a room being too bright to really support having an OLED just get some blackout curtains.

What I did for my current place since it has so many windows all throughout the living room area. And if you're renting and can't be drilling holes to mount curtain rods can use something like this - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LMQOPPG

It's a family room in an open concept, probably won't do curtains there maybe valences at best so it won't help much. I do use wall mounts that tilt down though that should help.
