Anything good out yet anyone see?

Word of advice:  go online after midnight that morning and keep trying to pull up the item you want.  Most places websites update somewhere between 12:30 and 2 a.m. and you can order online and ship free to your door or free pickup in store at least. 

I did that online last years at walmart.com, gander mountain, bestbuy,  and target and I also think amazon.com.   Beats standing in line at 4-5 a.m. for 2 hours waiting for either the store to open or standing in line either inside or outside the store in freezing cold temps in the hopes the 15-20 in stock you are lucky enough to be one of the first 20 in line at all to get what you want.  Those days are almost long gone thanks to the internet shopping craze.  One guy I work with camps out 2 days in advance in front of bestbuy to get the 10-15 limited stock items so he has a ticket by bringing his ice fishing shack with heater/generator, etc. setup right in front of the door and even has turkery dinner delivered from a family member as well - makes it a party I guess playing cards and drinking?

If anyone is looking for a cheap TV basic flat screen whether 32 or 40" or so,  I have had good luck the past 3 years buying online at walmart.com for around 100-150 bucks the name brand Emerson.  I figure if they last 5-6 years, I got my money's worth out of them and so far, so good.   Reviews are so-so, but I haven't had any issues in 3 years now, knock on wood.  If I see another 40" TV for 150-180 bucks or so, I will buy just in case even though 4 TV's now in house all 3 bedrooms and one in living room is plenty really.  The 2 kids like their netflix though in their rooms.  Also bought a basic XBOX for 99 bucks at walmart last year which is netflix capable to run as well as playing those stupid video games.
