Nice, did you get it when it was on sale for $2k? Seems to be the best option right now for HDR playback.
Yup. I think the price was $1996.50.

Do you use an alarm clock to wake up in the A.M.? Does said alarm clock have a backup battery? Have you checked said battery in the last six months?
I had a power loss today due to electric company installing some shite* on our meter and every clock took a shit and was blinking 12:00 on it.
Luckly I was awake at the time and noticed the fan stopped and heard the tell-tale clicks of the modem, router, DVR, TV, computer monitor, etc, losing power. ALL the 9v backup batteries were bone-dead. Nothing on the "touch-9v-battery-to-the-tongue" test.
If you use your phone to wake up, you are a lot safer, but check your backup batteries nonetheless.
I use my cell phone as my alarm clock (actually as my only clock). The time is very accurate (even auto-corrects for daylight savings and time zones), the battery backup can last all night, and I test it daily. No other solution that is nearly as effective.
Same thing for me. However, I often just shut it up quickly and fall back to sleep.I use my cell phone as my alarm clock (actually as my only clock).

Since I know everyone cares, it's a Panasonic RX-E300. Quite swanky for a boombox. Bi-amped speakers, auto-reverse, Dolby B, & full logic controls on the tape deck.I use a 20 year old high end boombox as my alarm clock.

Interested. I sent you a PM.I've got two waiting for me at my local Fry's. I'd be happy to send you one at no markup ($27 + postage) if you want. PM if interested.
Yesterday USPS decided to deliver me an errant package. It has a shipping label for me on it, but I didn't order a $400 "hoverboard" scooter from F.Y.E. http://www.fye.com/s/product/4044477/
It looks like their fulfillment center in KY, which they share with a number of other companies, mistakenly put a duplicate shipping label on the box that is 100% identical (down to the tracking number) to the one on an order from another retailer that I received a day earlier on Thursday. There is a another address label on the side of the box from F.Y.E. to someone in Knoxville, TN.
I sent F.Y.E. customer service an e-mail explaining the situation with some photos and asked for a prepaid UPS Ground label to send the box to the correct person in Knoxville, TN or instructions on what they want me to do with it.
You really believe U.S. Postal Service will agree to pay United Parcel Service to deliver a package instead of using their own in-house system? You're an overly optimistic person.Yesterday USPS decided to deliver me an errant package.

I didn't ask USPS. I asked FYE.You really believe U.S. Postal Service will agree to pay United Parcel Service to deliver a package instead of using their own in-house system? You're an overly optimistic person.
No, it's an errant shipment. F.Y.E. responded to my e-mail and said they're going to e-mail me a shipping label to send it back along with instructions on how to mark the box, etc.Maybe a friend ordered it as a joke?
Fry's cracks me up. I see this "bargain" in today's ad. So half the size for 80% of the cost of the 64gB Pro+ deal mentioned above that they had going on Friday & Saturday. Oh yeah, it's the same price as Adorama's regular price too. :scratch:I wish I lived near a Fry's. They have a 2 day in-store only promo (with the stupid daily e-mail promo code [from Friday]) for a 64GB Samsung Pro+ microSDXC card for $25. Limit 2. They're not even in stock most places and are at least 50% more $ than that.

Nice. I also like their license.
You can't buy a CPU with cash at Microcenter and give them an address you don't actually live at? I've never had to buy more than one of their CPU deals, so this isn't a problem I've personally encountered.Yeah but Fry's definitely isn't so bad when it's selling an i7 CPU for $100 less than Amazon or at least price matching what the local Microcenter is doing. Which is really handy since Microcenter doesn't like selling anyone two of the same CPU in a month.

I don't really have a problem with Fry's. They have some good deals. They're often hard to get from the website because it seems like they have an intentionally very limited inventory. Sending the promo codes out after the sale starts doesn't help either. People who signed up for the promo code e-mails shortly after they went to this scheme get the codes hours before those of us who signed up for them fairly recently. Shopping in store seems like a better bet. The website pretty much always shows the store has inventory long after the website is out of stock. I was simply noting that some of the "deals" aren't actually deals, and there is some inconsistency. Like the Samsung Pro+ microSD__ cards. The 64gB was a deal. The 32gB, not. Or, yesterday they had a $10 promo code to get the LOTR: EE Blu-ray trilogy down to $54.99. Amazon had it as the DOTD for $28 on Monday, and Costco sells it for $45.99 all the time.I just get a couple people who live around the Westmont store to meet me over there when I need cheap i5/i7s in exchange for $5 worth of Starbucks. Sometimes they don't have the stock I want and that's when I make the extra trip to Fry's. I don't like Fry's as well though.
