iT'S SAD SEEING HUMANS TRAMPLE EACHOTHER FOR THE (sorry for caps) a cheap ass 50" HDTV. Funny thing is it's shit in quality and the thing is built from cheap componest with a very high failure rate. 


which tv brands has the lowest failure rate?

Hard to say but some quality TV brands are Samsung, Panasonic and Sony

LG is also a good brand also. Would not buy a TV outside those four brands....

In the UK they were going mad for a Polaroid TV... I mean seriously...

I know, and the name is just licensed too.



Terrible Wii U selection at Best Buy, though on second glance it was so terrible because Smash Bros U (which had two slots for itself) was entirely sold through. No sign of Bayo though. Not much else to report on my end.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

khan looks like Ninty under shipped a few things in the last few weeks. Which is good and bad. 



It was Saturday here for most of Black Friday and I went and bought an espresso machine (NOT a Nespresso).

Sorry no video game anecdotes, I just wanted to participate.

Oddly a few businesses have started a Black Friday thing here, and as I'm sure most New Zealanders don't have a clue about Black Friday it probably fell rather flat. We do get the Benefit of Black Friday deals on PSN store though. I bought The Walking Dead Season 1 for less than half price.

Still saw plenty of PS4 at my local Walmart yesterday when I went to buy a new tree. Either people don't want a PS4 or they shipped a shit ton.

This was at around 2PM.

Considering that the PS4 is lighting up the charts online, yet hasn't sold out, I'm going with some beastly shipments.  And a place like NewEgg, which is hardly the mecca of console sales, has over 10K of them.

I'm with you on this one, it appears that Walmart was, too:

“We’ve increased Black Friday inventory in every category, including hardware bundles,” Wal-Mart senior vice president of Entertainment Laura Phillips said. “We have tripled the amount of PlayStation 4 and other gaming consoles available.”

OOO, nice find.  Yea, definitely big shipments.

Ewww. Destiny.

Destiny Bundle Doomed!!! Can't even sell at $19.99 on Black Friday.

That is a massive number of Destiny bundles for one shop.

On that note, just went to my local NYC BestBuy and Gamestop:

BB: tons of PS4 and X1 stock int he back (more X1), but only X1 left on the floor shelves (PS4 sold out).

GS: PS4 sold out, but tons of X1 bundles all over the floor.
