The best deal I got was actually a pre-Black Friday sale. It was (of all places) at Best Buy. They had a Hitachi 50" 1080i plasma for just under $1,000. Aside from Fry's Black Friday deal on a Samsung 50" plasma for just under $900, I think it one of the best deals out there. And I didn't have to wait hours in line to get it.

no 1080p yet. The best deal I saw on a 1080p set was at Circuit City...it was a 46" Sharp LCD for $1299. That was the best price I saw for a screen of comparable size from a major brand. I thought about getting that one, but decided for about the same price, I could get a bigger screen and a decent HT system. I mostly watch TV and they're broadcast in either 1080i or 720p max and I read somewhere that they probably won't change that in the near future, so at this point, 1080p would be overkill.

Walmart had a 42 incher Polaroid for $798. The local dumpy one still has a few. (demographics consist of walmart haters)

I also sat around, went to costco and spent $300 (planned to keep it under 100, but you know what happens), the usual stuff.
Mine was actually of the blockbuster variety. I fell asleep though and got buried in laundry (relatives. gotta love 'em). and thats AFTER I fixed not only his DirecTV that the moron didn't install right, but ALSO his surround sound and DVD setup.

Stayed in. Surfed a little.

Found a good deal on this on Amazon.com Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat: $220 + $29 for Burnout Revenge and I'll get a $60 certificate to spend after Christmas

I already have PGR3, PGR4 and Forza 2 with the MS wireless racing wheel but haven't played the games much. This should help the racing experience plus the Burnout series looks like a good change of pace.

Chased the ball Saturday, as mD would say. I think I was the only member who played all day. Light rain and snow mix but nothing serious. It was fun to have the course to myself and I showed up an hour early because I didn't know the winter tee times started Saturday. Fortunately, I'm on good terms with the greenskeeper. I was dressed in layers and didn't really feel the cold but the grips got a little slippery and my glove got wet after a while. Surprised myself by getting up and down on four of the first five and was even par. After that, I didn't have another par until the last two and shot 88 Still, it was the best round of the day at my club
