CadetStimpy Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Many of the deals are quite good, but everything has a "time window" to buy within. Many of the deals have already ended, including the monitor I was gonna save 32% on. Doh! Many other items aren't on sale yet - it appears they put different things 'out' every 5 minutes.

SentaiBrad Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 We spent too much money this morning... but I got her birthday presents, we got our new phone (that we were planning on getting anyways), and I grabbed my new capture card because my old one is giving me driver failure messages during boot, and the only fix is system restoring. The phone we got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015YCRZ1A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My capture card replacement: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CVOMZDM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I've been wanting to get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B4CVMQI/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1CY3GOG15DAYY But there are way more powerful (but obviously more expensive) other ones that do something similar, and also have full keyboards out there. I want the Pyra super bad actually, but it's $590 (About 540 Euro cause it comes from Germany). I ended up getting a bracket that will fit my 10" Kindle in hopes that the emulators on here will perform better than my PSP, and the bracket controller holds together well enough. Damn Amazon.

DOS76 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I haven't looked at all I'm trying to reign in my spending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadetStimpy Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Nice, Dude! That phone is nuts! 128Gb? Holy crap! I still have a flip-phone. Yay, I found another monitor. Seems like a okay deal. Nothin' like what you guys probably have, but I'm using a 4:3 monitor now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadetStimpy Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 DOS76 said I haven't looked at all I'm trying to reign in my spending. I'm trying to curb my spending as well, but I continue to fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 ViewSonic is a good brand. That's actually a super good deal. That response time is great. It's not an IPS (which is just the type of screen), but you probably won't honestly notice it. I certainly paid a lot more for my LG than that, and it's the same size. Not much more, but it has built in speakers, 2ms delay, IPS monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadetStimpy Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 SentaiBrad said It's not an IPS (which is just the type of screen), but you probably won't honestly notice it. No, probably not. 40 years ago I had 20/15 vision, but not now. I did an experiment a few years back where I synced-up a DVD and Blu-ray disc of Avatar (2 different players, obviously) to the same TV (a nice Samsung). Whilst swithing between the two on different types of scenes, I was hard-pressed to notice a significant difference (I found the difference to be pretty slight). Point being, my vision isn't that great anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadetStimpy Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Doom for PS4 is only $30. That seems good. There are many other games, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I wish I could get some games, but we're already pretty much tapped out. X_X Had to do some no-interest card trickery in order to pull this off, otherwise we couldn't naturally afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
