Black Friday!

[mDust]

Damn US... why does Australia have to be too 'pricey' to have a black friday...

No. Damn the US for having Black Friday. It's sick. I saw a video on youtube that was posted today of a 4AM riot at a local Walmart where the police had to respond. The crowd then proceeded to trample some of the officers. I've been to that same Walmart and they never have jacksh!t...so people got hurt for no other reason than 'unwarranted mass greed'.
And the people that camp out for several days straight in front of stores to save $200? They should just die. I saw a news interview with a guy that saved $240 dollars after camping out in freezing rain for 70+ hours. 240/70= $3.43/hour...was it worth it? A minimum wage job would net you more than twice that, and probably in a warm indoor environment, fool! I swear that my average fellow Americans' thought process gets shallower and shallower every year. It won't be long until it completely flat-lines. I often feel secondhand embarrassment for the people I see around me...especially on days like today.

Black Friday FTL.

Picked up a Canon Powershot 210, an HTC G2, a class 10 16gb SDHC card and something else for less than 400 bucks.

Got some Christmas shopping done for myself... Cyber-Monday may be for other people's gifts. lol.

Stood in line @ Target this morning, even though 4 years ago I said never again.

Got a Wii Balance board for $67 for my troubles, along with a majority of the rest of the Christmas shopping done. All I have left to shop for is the two kids, and I held off there because the Mrs wasn't with me.

I've played with some of the demos in store. It works quite well really. At 12' from the television I had 6'+ to move around in. Current 3D TVs are very good. There's no loss of resolution (as compared to parallax barrier technology) and the "sweet spot" is fairly big. The big thing I would want 3D for would be gaming, but I don't do a ton of that on console anyway, and the consoles aren't jumping on the bandwagon yet.

I'm really not that interested in it though, especially if it increases the price of the TV significantly. It's just a feature I would enjoy if I could get it at little to no extra cost.

^This, yup, exactly.

I think the 3D "illusion" depends a lot on individual observers. Some people just can't "learn" to see properly through binoculars and microscopes, no matter how hard they try. Insofar as these 3D screens go, I am one of those people. It looks like blurry barf to me, no clarity whatsoever.
