Title: Sweet Deals Made of WIN
Post by: Redfish on June 16, 2009, 11:50:38 AM
Ok I've always been prowling amazon looking to pounce as soon as they start slashing prices(yea I'm a cheap bastard so what  :lol: )

I thought it would be cool to have a thread where you can post deals you've come across online, yes prices will eventually change over time but it would be great to really save ourselves some cash.

 
So to kick things off here is what I saw last night and currently itching to buy for my rig :happy0203:

WD Caviar Black HDD 1TB for 99us!!!

CLICK MEEEEE!!!! (http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Caviar-Black-WD1001FALS/dp/B001C271MA/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_b)

Post by: TriniXaeno on June 16, 2009, 12:43:08 PM
Sweet trini tech deals I think would be better.

Highlighting a "bess" price online on a hot ticket item is great.

But doing online exclusively is kind of limiting (and is already handsomely taken care of by pricewatch, techbargains, etc...)

No sense leaving out the local market (we should be supporting local if they are giving us a good deal, shouldn't we?) Especially on bigger items and ones where warranty is critical, like hard drives.

So make it sweet deals for trinis and you've got a winner.

Post by: Redfish on June 16, 2009, 12:50:54 PM
Ok kool well if you wanna do the Honours Noob and change it to include the local market fire away cause it seems to only change for what I post when I tried editing the topic.

So need some admin power to work some magic plz  :happy0203:

Nice, just looked at the pricelist and saw the prices of stuff I thought not possible locally lol.

Yea it's that kinda stuff I'm talking about, not only online as Noob etc said.

Still waiting for one of our friendly moderators to help change the name of the thread to just Sweet Deals or Sweet PC Deals...sumn so.

You should still include online deals cuz even with shipping/duty some items come out to be way less than when bought locally, ask Arcman....I believe he says "Fire bun....local game store" lol
Title: Re: Sweet Deals/Deals made of WIN
Post by: Redfish on June 16, 2009, 03:06:52 PM
Yea hence I wanted the name to not only say sweet online deals so as to include local stuff.

So the love is shared for both local and foreign(online) retailers

BTW, nice rundown Hard O/C.

Star Commercial is on Monroe road, opposite Low Cost supermarket, in ah old abandoned looking building.
Prices are usually very good, although u need the same business requirements as HiTouch to make an account with them.
Title: Re: Sweet Deals/Deals made of WIN
Post by: Netizen1 on June 17, 2009, 09:22:29 AM
But Sax, what about the UPS we saw in PriceSmart for about the same price? An APC 1000VA if I recall correctly... not sure of the exact model

As for the online HDD deal, I came across a cheaper 1TB here (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001NGOIJO)
Title: Re: Sweet Deals/Deals made of WIN
Post by: TriniXaeno on June 17, 2009, 10:32:19 AM
Yeah, every now and again old stand bys like pricemart and radioshack actually have good deals.

Downloaded that pricelist (with the spanish english) and I have to wonder if they have all of those items in stock?

Seen many such lists that when you inquire, the items aren't actually available in the store.

wayz 37USD shipping, thaz ebay or what . i shall haz none

The shipping weight is 39 lbs.  That's a heavy-azz package.  What do you expect the shipping price to be? ???
If you check the other sellers (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0011FQURK/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&qid=1248015684&sr=8-16&condition=new), you can get it for as little as 15 US shipping, but guess what the price is.

As it is, 80 US for that is an absolute STEAL.

I certainly wouldn't purchase it at 300 US, but at 80 US, HELL yes.

Well i was browsing online this morning, stumbled upon PRW's newly updated site. Saw they had an APC 1200VA UPS for $1299, same thing what Arc buy the other day. SO far them have it the cheapest locally as to import one go be much higher. See Arcman's review somewhere on d site for reviews on this unit. Go get one! :D

Link: http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=BR1200 (http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=BR1200)

Z-2300 down here for $650 was a steal then? But what is the big deal with this Cinema? The remote?
Title: Re: Sweet Deals/Deals made of WIN
Post by: Spazosaurus on July 19, 2009, 10:51:36 PM
I've read on the Z-cinema. The remote seems cool, certainly nothing that i'd ever use, though. But the sound quality seems to be the set's strength. Even so, sacrificing volume and power is inexcusable in my book. Also not forgetting that a good sound card on your pc would bring the sound quality of the 2 on the same level.
Title: Re: Sweet Deals/Deals made of WIN
Post by: Arcmanov on July 20, 2009, 12:35:33 AM
*sigh*

Must EVERYTHING be compared on the same level?

This thread is for 'sweet deals'.  I found a 'sweet deal'.  Why not just leave it at that.
If it doesn't appeal to you, it doesn't mean it just aint no good.  ???

All the reviews recommend that those speakers be used primarily on a media center
or HTPC...NOT for gaming.  Jeez.
Title: Re: Sweet Deals/Deals made of WIN
Post by: TriniXaeno on July 20, 2009, 01:08:20 AM
that's kind of the point of the thread, to find the sweetest deal. so let 'em have a go. lol

if they find a better one, no harm in it.

we'll still have you to thank for raising the speaker deal in the first place. Without which, the analysis would never have started.

if the z2300 is louder and more readily availably locally, that would be the better option.

You can always get a remote for your media pc / htpc for less than us$30.00 and that will be tons cheaper to ship. A small remote vs huge speaker boxes. The volumetric weight will not be kind. I rest my case!

Capitan, as for not using it....you as a techie might not....but the remote was a big hit with the misses.

it speaks their language. lol. You just lay on the videos/movies/tv series thick on a htpc, give them the remote and boom....they're distracted for hours. nag free gaming ftw.

It's easy to list a ton of items on a pricelist and fan around the island. Stocking them on the other hand, a whole different story.

Uh...ya. The warranty I get is the warranty they get. Of course once I have the same product in stock I can just do a direct exchange one time and claim warranty on the side so the customer doesnt have to wait how much ever months.

And that's the latest version, Office 2007.

Microsoft making it easy for users to go legal yes. What excuse does a pirate have when the prices for software are so low? Is just vice at this stage, lol

95% of home users stick to gmail/hotmail/yahoo mail/<insert webmail client here>
So Outlook is overkill for them.

I LOVE Outlook but I can see why Microsoft would choose to omit it from a "Home" version of their Office suite.

Same for a database. Do a quick poll on these forums and see who built a relational database at home in the last 11 months using Microsoft Access. Even amidst our tech heavy demographic, the percentage will be very slim.

Those apps are better left in the "Office" version of Microsoft Office. lol

I heard TSTT has the 8520 for $500 postpaid. Was anyone able to get it?

What's the price for the unlimited bb data plan aka BIS?

Seriously considering this.

Post by: Arcmanov on January 27, 2010, 05:12:39 PM
199 per month.

I retired my BB because of its poor tethering capabilities.
If you don't ever intend to use it for that, then go for it.
Title: Re: Sweet Deals/Deals made of WIN
Post by: TriniXaeno on January 27, 2010, 06:16:41 PM
tethering is improved in bb's

The $500 8520 deal I saw for christmas was a buy one get one @ half price kind of deal.

Pay $1299.00 for one, and get a second at $499.00

Is it that you can get one for $499.00 out right? No purchase of a second phone required?

If so, sweet deal! Go for it.

Got one for the misses @ christmas and she loves it.

Yeah the phones in fact are making a loss, it's the plans that have all the margins...btw what is the minimum length for the contract? a year?

Still not a bad deal IMO if you were planning on going BB anyway.

For all laptop/netbook owners:

I came across a software called BatteryBar, which is a small utility that displays the battery life left on your laptop, it is far more accurate than the windows estimate, and may be one of the most accurate battery meters out there.

http://osirisdevelopment.com/BatteryBar/ (http://osirisdevelopment.com/BatteryBar/)

The deal is that they are offering a lifetime license to upgrade to BatteryBar Pro for any price form US$1 to US$10 of YOUR choosing. I bought 2 licensees at US$2 each.

The added features with the Pro:
Automatic upgrade notification popup for the latest beta release      
Show low and critical battery notification warnings      
View graph of your battery profiles      
Change the current Windows power scheme      
Automatically change power schemes when on battery or external power      
Customize the look of BatteryBar with custom themes      
Customize when the battery is reported as at low or critical level      
Show low and critical battery warnings based on time remaining or percent remaining

The free version is damn good as it is, but for a minimum of US$1 for a lifetime pro license, why not?

Hurry, this offer doesn't last....

For all laptop/netbook owners:

I came across a software called BatteryBar, which is a small utility that displays the battery life left on your laptop, it is far more accurate than the windows estimate, and may be one of the most accurate battery meters out there.

http://osirisdevelopment.com/BatteryBar/ (http://osirisdevelopment.com/BatteryBar/)

The deal is that they are offering a lifetime license to upgrade to BatteryBar Pro for any price form US$1 to US$10 of YOUR choosing. I bought 2 licensees at US$2 each.

The added features with the Pro:
Automatic upgrade notification popup for the latest beta release      
Show low and critical battery notification warnings      
View graph of your battery profiles      
Change the current Windows power scheme      
Automatically change power schemes when on battery or external power      
Customize the look of BatteryBar with custom themes      
Customize when the battery is reported as at low or critical level      
Show low and critical battery warnings based on time remaining or percent remaining

The free version is damn good as it is, but for a minimum of US$1 for a lifetime pro license, why not?

Hurry, this offer doesn't last....

At that price there should not be any yarrs, then again some ppl cheap :p

Sweet deal available from Amazon today...

They have a Seagate Barracuda 1.5 TB drive, which normally retails for 199 USOn sale today for 75 US (http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=pe_36550_16000730_pe_00_head).

Great deal.

Trouble is, those Seagate 1.5tb drive have PROBLEMS (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16822148337) with crashing etc. The Samsung drives are much safer. I have 5 external drives, all with Samsung eco green disks, the newest more than 6 months old, never had a problem yet. They are only 7200rpm but I dont think the increased speed is worth the risk.

My 2c of course. Its yall money.

Well, I'm seeing a greater number of positive reviews than negative.

Didn't Seagate address the issues with a firmware update?

25% 1 eggs is a serious thing. Just watch that first page which are the newest reviews. Cant be that it fixed much.

Im not saying newegg is the holy grail of reviews, but they give a damn good idea of what products have the least issues. I use it to help make every purchase decision.

Check...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010150014%20103530090%201035324341&bop=And&ShowDeactivatedMark=False&Order=RATING&PageSize=20 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010150014%20103530090%201035324341&bop=And&ShowDeactivatedMark=False&Order=RATING&PageSize=20)

Look at where Seagate is on that list. I have three of those exact Sammy eco drives and knock on wood, no problems.

The Seagate might have a good price today but I think it is not trustworthy.

And who Amazon feel they fooling. They expect me to believe that a 1.5tb drive was retailing for $200us when a 2tb drive of the same calibur (http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Intellipower-Desktop-WD20EARS/dp/B002ZCXK0I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1277122227&sr=1-1) is selling right now for $120us.

Come on Amazon. Puhleeeze.

Strange you been having issues with Seagate, Awesome.

I bought this exact drive December last. Been using it in an external enclosure without a single issue.
Title: Re: Sweet Deals/Deals made of WIN
Post by: Spazosaurus on June 21, 2010, 09:11:53 AM
I never bought the Seagate, just read the reviews and got scared.

Realise that its a luck of the draw kind of thing with them. If you had bought three, I wonder how many would still be working today.

Personally, I would stay the hell away from them, but thats  me.

@ Hard, that drive did NOT sell for that much in recent times, maybe when it first came out but not recently.

Well is a good thing I only give these people a 1 US.  This app has not worked since I installed it.

I keep getting a 'unable to load stored data' message when trying to start it.
For such a 'simple' app to be giving all that trouble, it aint even worth it as 'free'.

I not wasting time troubleshooting that.  Rightmark has a nice, free utility with a very accurate battery meter in it.  I'll go back to that.

Arc was blown away with his Nokia N900, the price keeps falling saw that there is a coupon, price down to $369

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/nokia-n900-drops-to-369-unlocked/ (http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/nokia-n900-drops-to-369-unlocked/)

Hard to believe but after all this time the N900 remains the most powerful handset in Nokia's vast collection of cellphones. No other Nokia handset even comes close and that won't change until Nokia launches the Symbian^3-powered N8 or the MeeGo-powered N9. So if you've got the dough and a certain inclination to write Python scripts on a Friday night, you might want to think about sliding $369 (down from $649 at launch or $479 currently at Nokia USA) Espoo's way for a crack at the ARM Cortex A8 slider. Sure, it's not the freshest face on the block, but the development community will certainly help eek-out every last bit of value for many months to come.

P.S. Don't forget to apply the coupon code LL17PBSTFKZ440 to get the reduced price.

Came across this laptop, the Acer Aspire AS5251-1805 15.6-Inch Laptop (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NE5K50?ie=UTF8&tag=dvdlistdoc-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003NE5K50)

Basic Specs:
# 15.6-inch CineCrystal LED-backlit widescreen display  with native 720p resolution
# 2.20 GHz AMD V Series V120 single-core processor with 512 KB L2 cache 1066 MHz front-side bus
# 250 GB SATA hard drive (5400 RPM)
# 3 GB of installed DDR3 RAM (1066 MHz; expandable to 8 GB)
# ATI Radeon HD 4250 graphics (with 256 MB of discrete video memory)
# 8x SuperMulti DVD±R/RW drive
# Multi-Gesture Touchpad
# Crystal Eye webcam with a built-in digital microphone. Acer Video Conference Manager software supports 640 x 480 resolution online video calls.
# Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking capability
# Fast Ethernet (10/100/1000)
# Multi-in-1 Digital Media Card Reader compatible with Secure Digital (SD), MultiMediaCard (MMC), Memory Stick (MS), Memory Stick PRO (MS PRO), xD-Picture Card (xD)
# Three USB 2.0 ports
# HDMI high-definition audio/video output
# Windows 7 Home Premium
# 6-cell battery (4400 mAh)


For $379 US you get some reasonable specs, it has gotten some decent reviews as well (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NE5K50?ie=UTF8&tag=dvdlistdoc-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003NE5K50). While the processor is only single core I could see this as a good alternative for someone wanting a cheap laptop that has a bigger screen/dvdwriter instead of smaller popular netbooks (http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26redirect%3Dtrue%26ref_%3Dsr_nr_n_2%26bbn%3D541966%26qid%3D1288203464%26rnid%3D541966%26rh%3Dn%253A172282%252Cn%253A%2521493964%252Cn%253A541966%252Cp_6%253AATVPDKIKX0DER%252Cn%253A1232596011&tag=dvdlistdoc-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957). Of course a netbook will tend be lighter with better battery life but that is the tradeoff here.

you're not scared of refurbished????

Rotational hdd's, yes, ssd's, no. No motors to burn, no heads to crash. Even taking into account electrical degradation that comes with a used ssd, I am very confident that it will have years of life remaining, at least enough than when im ready to upgrade to a higher capacity, a NEW drive will have a cost per gb ratio similar to what they offering in these refurbs.

I think I'd rather go with the Momentus drive, but still, a refurbished SSD isn't that bad of a deal...for the very reasons that Capt Awesome stated.

Those drives can't be more than 6 months old.

Post by: Spazosaurus on November 25, 2010, 11:02:57 AM
Phoenix thats a good point, a lot of issues users experienced were due to faulty firmware.

It is my understanding that they have released new firmware that adds TRIM support and fixes a lot of those issues.

I think its worth noting, though that the drives they will be selling are based on the Barefoot Idilinx controller which is 2009's model as opposed to the newer and slightly faster Sandforce controller for this year. From reviews I read too they perform on par with the x25m's anyway.

Still, a ssd for that price is a steal of a deal.

That deal...isnt so full of win. +$19 shipping making that $370 when a viewsonic on the same site is $300 with free shipping.

yes it's worth it in my experience...

shipping for 23-24" come up to be around 250-300 when i've bought. Guess you could use that as a gauge
Title: Re: Sweet Deals/Deals made of WIN
Post by: Arcmanov on January 12, 2011, 11:23:33 AM
VERY worth it.

Depending on the model, you can save almost 1000TT (vs local store price)
bringing it in yourself.

That very Samsung monitor Crixx posted, (I recently imported one) cost nearly 3700 TT in Circuit Zone.
Total price after importation (including all shipping and fees)... 2662 TT.

The only advantage buying local gives you is the warranty, although some
stores will tell you '...well there's a manufacturer's warranty.  Check them nah...'
when your stuff fails.  Go figure.  :(



...and Captain Awesome knows not of what he speaks.  The so-called 'Viewsonic
on the same site' cannot, in any way, shape or form, compare to that Samsung,
but don't take my word for it.  Check the specs yourself.  :)

Just adding to what Arcman said, I brought in this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LYPNFQ/ref=oss_product (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LYPNFQ/ref=oss_product) down in May last year.

It's a 25.5 inch ASUS monitor, has VGA, HDMI and DVI connectors. Has a 2ms response time and works quite well. You can check out more detailed specs about it on Newegg but the reason why I listed some specs is so you can compare what I got for the price paid as opposed to buying one locally.

Now I got it for $267.54us at that time and paid 588TT to get it in my hands from UPXpress.

So that's roughly 2298TT I paid for that monitor. Is it worth it??? Of course it is worth it!!!

Well unless you somehow get a pissed off customs officer that thinks your monitor is really a tv then that might suck lol. Go brave and buy a monitor online, buy eeeeeet!!! :P

Only drawback is a DOA/ warranty which we ballzy internet buyers take the risk with shopping online. We piss in the face of danger and fart down their throats lol.

I was going to buy a monitor online but got burnt with customs last time I did.

Ended up getting this one for mom as she needed a new monitor

http://www.amazon.com/LG-W2353VP-23-Inch-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B003LY1Z60/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1294846895&sr=8-1 (http://www.amazon.com/LG-W2353VP-23-Inch-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B003LY1Z60/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1294846895&sr=8-1)

She's pretty happy with it, paid $1640 for it at Circuit Zone.

Rage, do you really re-watch the majority of stuff in your "collection"? Or once you seen it, you never replay them but just keep it as an archive?

I see your point and true to form, the only movies / tv series we keep on tap are the family titles. The little ones will watch Tinkerbell, Avatar: The last airbender and Ponyo a hundred times over. Those never make it to the deleted bin.

All the R rated stuff is basically a once and done affair so those aren't so lucky. Delete idmc.

Besides, with so many movies and series still to be seen, why spend time on one you've already viewed? (Of course that reasoning doesn't take traction with my kids) lol

Rage save $$$ and just delete sh!t :lol:

This!

Works for me.

Rage, do you really re-watch the majority of stuff in your "collection"? Or once you seen it, you never replay them but just keep it as an archive?

Also remember having permission issues with freenas back in the day. Would think they sorted that out by now.

Well, as I said, it's a "collection" (dunno why u put in quotes). I'm not just downloading for kicks. It's a hobby. I don't see comic collectors re-reading their books every month, but they still buy them right? I've spent so much time putting my collection in order that deleting anything isn't even an option.

and PS, i don't have a lot of devil and dismemberment films Wyatt. if i do indeed have a movie with the word "devil" in it, it's because I saw some pretty good reviews on it. tryin to make meh look like some kinda devil worshiper of wha? lol. it's true that most of my movies aren't family oriented, but there aren't any kids at my home, so why worry?

I intend to watch most of them over sooner or later, but it doesn't make sense doing that now when more than half of them are unwatched. I have family member and friends who watch the movies I have too, so why would I delete them just because I personally saw them? ppl tend to believe that because digital media can be so easily deleted and reacquired that it shouldn't hold any type of value. but I disagree. just my opinion.

In the making???? hoss the ship done sail on that one long time.

The man is THE digital klepto of the new millennium. 16TB.....I still can't wrap my head around it. lol

Yeah Rage, was just teasin' on the devil films. I think I only saw two with such titles in the ton of movies you've linked us with on the forums.

More power to you though. Its commendable for a man to maintain such a meticulous collection for the benefit of others even after you've seen the movies yourself. Very selfless.

+1 to you sir.

If ever the internet shuts down, I know who to check as the local netflix.

Mez pissed me off though. That bastard got a Logitech G15 gaming keyboard for TT$250

50% off the retail price.

and it was the LAST one. steups.

Much cheaper than I could even import the thing for myself by ordering online.

Been wanting one of those for ages to replace my trusty Deluxe Black logitech keyboard.

Amazon begins buy one, get one half-off sale of season's best games
By Ben Kuchera | Published about 3 hours ago

We usually defer to the experts when it comes to posting about video game sales, but right now retail shelves are choked with excellent games. You either have a monstrous gaming budget and no tough decisions to make, or you're being forced to make some very hard choices. Amazon has your back, and has begun to offer some of the best games of the season in a buy one, get one half-off sale.

Take a look at some of the titles available through this promotion:

    Modern Warfare 3
    Skyrim
    Batman: Arkham City
    Uncharted 3
    Rage

The deal is limited to one bundle per customer, and this is for a limited time, so I'd jump on it if you still haven't bought some of these games. This isn't just the busy part of the year for gaming releases: 2011 has seen a better-than-average selection of games released in the past few weeks.

Let us know what you pick up!

Still, $40 for a newly released game that happens to be one of the best games ever created is an absolute steal.

I know other "Modern" games, far inferior that sells for a third more.

Checked out the Laptop City sale this morning. Damn near open the store for them, fuss I went early lol. Bought a few items (Webcam, Laptop sleeve, Sim card backup device, etc) but there was nothing that particularly caught my attention. Mostly old stuff they wanted sold off. And there were no G15s to be found. That was the first thing I asked for. :(

nice find saxman

That is a no brainer purchase.

Even at SATA II speeds, its tons faster than the mechanical drives.

bess price

lil scary review though

Quote
The Caveats: google around and make sure that you know what your specific build/machine needs. On my Asus UL20A, it required me to upgrade my BIOS, change the hard drive status in BIOS to IDE for the Windows 7 install, but then do a very specific registry tweak right after to switch it back to AHPI, but make sure I used the Microsoft AHPI driver and not the Intel Storage Matrix one that would've been installed if I just put back everything that the UL20A originally shipped with.

The Con: it's a big one... like lots of Sandforce controller SSD's, there's a big BSOD issue when sleeping. This is a VERY big deal if you're putting this in a laptop, and it's unclear how seriously SanDisk is taking this: [...]

YMMV

yup all good points.
You could also save some more space by moving some directories to another drive and use symbolic links to link them back to their original location. This is a bit advanced and could lead to problems down the road if not done properly.
Title: Re: Sweet Deals Made of WIN

we already do that with the brilliant steammover app which makes creating those links a cinch.

awesome, my fresh install of win7 64 with battlefield and dota 2 is clocking 60+ gb

How did you get yours down to 50???

Did you disable your swap file altogether or something?

I had to disable my hibernation file to achieve the 60gb as is.

Got the Lenovo multimedia remote today...

(http://www.everythingusb.com/images/list/lenovo-htpc-keyboard-remote.jpg)

Man...this thing is sooo full of win.  I'm not sure how I existed without it.  :laughing7:

I was a bit skeptical of the shape, but it's PERFECT for one-handed operation.
if you've used a Blackberry, you can use this.

The little circular optical trackpad there doubles as a mouse left-click, and the ridged vertical line under it is the scroll area,
both of which function quite well.  The trackpad is acceleration-sensitive, so if I scroll slowly, the cursor moves slowly,
and if I flick my thumb quickly, the cursor flies across the entire screen.  This is GREAT, considering the size of the trackpad.

Backlighting is great.  Typing is great.  You'll mostly be typing in movie titles anyway, not drafting a thesis.
Multimedia controls work like they're supposed to...no complaints there.
The volume buttons will only change the volume of the app you're in, and not Windows' system volume (unless all other
apps are not in focus or minimized).  This may be a good or bad thing depending on your preference.

The only thing I miss is the middle-mouse button, but CTRL-C makes up for that.

For HTPC operation...I can totally and wholeheartedly recommend this.

Arcmanov Approved.  :icon_thumleft:

Post by: Arcmanov on August 26, 2012, 11:20:46 PM
Them reviews over a year old.

I'm quite sure the price was higher, and the firmware buggier at the time.
Knowing OCZ's track record, I'm pretty sure all the issues have been fixed by now.

Arc has a point though, the initial reviews are over a year old.

If you check the most recent reviews, they are positive. I am seriously considering getting one for my laptop.

Either that or I stick to my trusted Crucial brand

Post by: Fkacn_tt on October 07, 2012, 12:33:16 PM
To Rebirthoftheundead

- equals a minus sign, so the current price(9.99) - coupon code which deducts 25% of the original price, would allow someone to purchase BF3(price as of original post $9.99) for $7.49. i.e. One hell of a deal if you were waiting for prices to come down.

...because
1. They can
2. They have broadband
3. It kinda easy now

From my own perspective...there are more than a few mp-based games I've purchased that I wish I could have 'tried' beforehand.   Then I could have decided if to buy it or not.
I know I'm not the only one who only found out how disappointing a game was AFTER you bought it.

....but everybody's motivation is different.
Some people just refuse to spend money on software, period.

of $425 Vat inclusive?
Title: Sweet Deals Made of WIN
Post by: Skepsis on December 08, 2012, 08:05:30 PM
Vat exclusive I believe, I was already paying around $450 on Digicel though for the stuff I had. So I kept roughly the same monthly and got that handset rate, was a no brainier for me.

Max I really wanted to ever spend on a handset was $1500tt so I don't have to worry about being extra careful with it, any "good" phone for $700 I was gonna jump on like Santa at a ho house
Title: Re: Sweet Deals Made of WIN
Post by: TriniXaeno on December 09, 2012, 08:33:34 AM
$488.75 a month

Hmm, for 2 years.

$11730.00

We pay about $350 right now so that's a difference of about $3500 add that to the $700 you paid and you're looking at about $4200 for an Iphone 5 over a two year period.

Not bad.

Thing is, internet is getting costly. Two phones with internet + your fixed line at home.

Decisions, decisions.

If you already are post paid I don't see the problem in taking a phone on contract. You would end up paying the same monthly rate unless you were planning to cancel/switch.

Exactly that.

Lets say for example.....Digicel decided to offer a brilliant $99 a month data plan for 10GB. 4G Inclusive of some talk time and text.

Bmobile will have you by the gonads for two years, unable to make the switch to Digi penalty free.

If we only had one major player in town, I would feel comfortable being locked in.

Begun, the 4G war has.

Digicel vs Bmobile.

For that reason, I'm out (in the voice of Daymond from The Shark Tank)
Title: Re: Sweet Deals Made of WIN
Post by: woodyear99 on December 10, 2012, 07:47:05 PM
Yeah we'll see how it goes but if it is any indication so far they seem to match each other in terms of price. Perhaps service quality etc. will be differentiating. A price war will simply "bottom" out. I wouldn't want to switch if it was for a small discount, changing numbers is a hassle for me. It seems like they following the North American model where contracts like these are common.

Think about it if Digicel did have a huge price drop and bmobile didn't respond with either lower prices or upgraded packages their customers would be pissed. They wouldn't want to lose those customers after 24 months, that would be pretty short sighted strategy. I haven't really been following Digicel in terms of bundled minutes/prepaid costs but how have they fared compared to Bmobile over the past 4 years or so? Have they ever "beaten" Bmobile on price?
Title: Re: Sweet Deals Made of WIN
Post by: TriniXaeno on December 10, 2012, 09:29:41 PM
Well for starters, Digicel was first to market with 4G. People like myself on the green team had to salt with EDGE.

If you were locked in on contract....you wouldn't have the option to switch without penalty.

No4G4U

Suppose they drop another network upgrade next year. Want to risk being left behind again?

And the more people bmobile can get to take those contracts, is the more assured they would be of their pricing strategy. Why reduce prices when they have X amount of customers locked in at $450+ vat for two years?

Some of my family swear by Digicel. Apparently cell to cell its tons cheaper than bmobile. They take advantage of all those talk for free after the first 3 minutes type deals. I don't use it personally (as mentioned before, stuck on the green team)

I'm considering it for the misses because she couldn't care less whether is 3G 4G or Swappi inna 4D

If something better comes along within the two years, it won't be a problem.

Will keep my primary phone contract less though, so at least one of us could have that flexibility.

Then again, thanks to the integrated wireless hotspot on the droid, one epic 4G can serve two phones (once we're in close proximity)

Decisions decisions.

I can attest to one thing though 4g coverage is hands down better on Digi, I don't ever drop to edge but bmobile is a different story, located between central, north and east. Hopefully in time they will get up to par

TriniWyatt, since I bring that thing home I've been hounded to buy one for my sis-in-law.

So Arc, how's the Anker different to the Duracell? http://amzn.com/B002FU6KF2

Well, the Anker Astro 3E that I'm eyeing is 10,000 MAh, vs the 1150 MAh Duracell unit.

That's way more capacity (and compatibility) for 'just' 40 usd.
Amazon nearly hook me with that bundle, but I settled on the 3E, and the 5600 MAh one for the wifey.

I have to agree with zerk though....the general rule of thumb is 10 to 1.

So if an item is US$290.00 on Amazon, it would be reasonably priced at TT$2900.00 (taking into consideration duty, vat, shipping, profit, overheads)

So with that said, the price is actually pretty decent!

Good find zerk
Title: Re: Sweet Deals Made of WIN
Post by: Arcmanov on March 19, 2013, 11:14:06 PM
It's a monitor...therefore, no VAT, no duties.  Just freight.



Lets do a little math...

Using round figures:  290 US x 6.45 = 1870 TT

Shipping via Ezone: 20 lbs x 3 US/lb = 60 US x 6.45 = 387 TT

1870 + 387 = 2257 TT

A difference of just over 350 TT.
You would willingly give away 350 dollars just so?  They said '3-5 days delivery' which means they have to order it, so why can't you do the same?

Their original price was ridiculous to begin with.
This 'new' price ain't doing anybody no favours either.


My argument stands, but whatever.  It's your money.

As we have proven time and time before, customs is a fickle beast.

They can very well take that same monitor and charge you vat and duty under the label of "LCD TV"

In which case, the math becomes decidedly skewed in our favour.

Add a whopping 35% to your equation.

It is a very decent price.

cant agree at all with this
brought in A LOT of LCDs and never got it classed as a TV..

it would clearly say TV on the box..they WILL know.. and if they label is as a HDTV or LCD TV... easy fight and win.... been there done that.

Once it doesn't say TV anywhere on the box, you golden.
As someone who has imported LOTs of monitors, I'm pretty sure Customs has NEVER mistaken a MONITOR for a TV.  Usually, it's the other way around.

Not to mention, the hassle of shipping the unit back to the states if you get a doa monitor or dead pixels. Some people will value the local warranty over the meager savings.

All things considered, that link Berserk posted will be very hard to beat and It should qualify as a sweat deal.

True but if the warranty/after sales service offered makes the extra money worthwhile then it is indeed a worthy deal.

Carizone advertises on GATT so it should be no surprise to anyone why wyatt is defending them.

Personally, the times I called them about stuff they have listed on their website, every time they said there's none in stock and it will take 1.5 weeks. I find it extremely difficult to find a reason to do business with them when I could get stuff in myself quicker and cheaper.

But everybody have to eat ah food out here. Choose for yourself.

Chiney, I have ordered several monitors myself for customers that have landed even cheaper than that.

Doesn't change the fact that 1) customs could charge you hot and negate the savings

2) the monitor could arrive with dead pixels or worse and then you have to ship it back yourself (negating savings)

3) no one has yet to post a cheaper "local" option.

As far as deals go, I still stand by zerk's post....it is a sweet one and doesn't deserve the fight down.

I find a lot of us are a little to quick to attack the local scene without consideration for their own people. Crab in barrel attitude.

Local companies have different economics to deal with so naturally their price will not beat Amazon / Newegg.

However, if they can offer me a price reasonably close to one abroad, I have no issue supporting them.

Conversely, they have no issue supporting us (as Awesome pointed out....cariszone has been a long standing sponsor)

Not sure we will see Amazon or NewEgg sponsoring a GATT event anytime soon.

Carry on smartly.

Who can draw a crab in barrel meme for me boy?

Okay that pic is kinda disturbing lol.

I've gotten burnt with importing a monitor already, had to pay duty.

If the savings were significant I'd try ordering one online again.

The last 2 monitors I bought locally were not that much more than if I had ordered online and paid for shipping. As wyatt said it is more the convenience/warranty factor.

I'd say that is the exception though, for anything else tech related I order through captain interwebs.

'Crab in a barrel' has nothing to do with this.  I disagree TW...a LOT.  Your logic here escapes me.

Wouldn't you rather spend less money if you could help it?
I don't know why we trinis are sometimes so eager to throw money away for the sake of 'convenience'.


I have to 'attack' local merchants simply because our eyes have been opened to the fact that they overcharge us ridiculously for electronic items.
In some cases it's truly outrageous.

Case in point: I'm looking for a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0...
In some cases I've seen local prices as high as $3500...for ONE...and as 'low' as $1700.
Guess what?  The actual price is $179 US, which isn't even $1200.  Why should I pay a local merchant that extra $500...especially if in some cases they have to order it for me?   =/

Not doing it.  No sir.

As arc said... spending "extra" for convenience is not a reason to spend more money..never is... never will be.

Bad points to bring across in a discussion like this bro. So far all I have heard is that I rather spend more because I can, because I dont want to order and wait for skybox and clearing it.

Nope. Not even close to making sense.

Post by: woodyear99 on March 23, 2013, 12:45:10 PM
I guess it comes down to your experience. Had a bad one the first time I brought in a monitor so didn't bother ordering others online. Maybe next time if I find a sweet deal online I'd try again. That said I'd never buy a tablet in trinidad.

Post by: TriniXaeno on March 25, 2013, 10:20:43 AM
Exactly.

Woody has hit the nail on the head.

Gopaul luck is not seepaul's luck. I said it before.

But let me break it down for Arcman and Chiney real slow and basic like so they can understand.

Fact #1: People have imported items and were charged duty and vat (even when they should not have been)

Fact #2: People have imported items and they arrived defective

Fact #3: Local vendors face different economics to NewEgg and Amazon, so their prices will never be LESS (not withstanding a clearance sale or such)

Fact #4: Local vendors sponsor and support GATT. (Very unlikely that Amazon / NewEgg will do the same. If GATT does not support local vendors then the "crab in barrel" attitude applies.

Let me break down the crab in barrel analogy so you guys can understand it as well. If the crabs all worked together...many of them would be able to escape the barrel......however, if the crabs are only concerned with their own personal escape and ignore the plight of the others around them, the majority of them will languish in the barrel.

So to further nail the point....if a staff member like berserk, is promoting what he sees as a great local deal by a local vendor (cariszone)....he is helping that crab out of the barrel......and when Cariszone sees success and is profitable, they will in turn sponsor GATT events and also help us out of the barrel.

If another Staff member like Arcmanov, says Cariszone is robbing people...and that their price is outrageous....people won't buy from Cariszone, the company fails (sinks into the bottom of the barrel) and now they won't be able to sponsor GATT events (and we also sink into the bottom of the barrel)

I have yet to see someone suggest a better local price for an excellent monitor as Zerk posted. Until then, I still very much consider it a sweet deal and maintain that it should not be maligned by others as "robbery".

This especially applies to items like Cases, Monitors, etc....where local prices are viable. I have bought many in Trinidad as opposed to Amazon / NewEgg, so this is not just cheap talk. Leading by example here. Arc himself knows I just bought a monitor from him. Always been one to support the local scene as best I can.

Carry on smartly.
Title: Re: Sweet Deals Made of WIN
Post by: Arcmanov on March 25, 2013, 10:53:51 AM
Surely you jest.

I'll pretend I didn't see that thinly veiled implication that I'm somewhat daft.  :laughing7: (as is you)

My intention was not to malign anything...merely to highlight what I believe to be unfavourable, especially in light of the ecosystem that we as consumers now live in.

However, I do believe, rather strongly, that local merchants should be called out, regardless of affiliation.

I had this same issue with JK Entertainment, and you presented this same defence.

How do you know it won't make them reconsider their prices?  Local pricing reeks of an attitude that suggests that merchants feel as if local consumers don't have internet access, and by extension, totally ignorant of the actual retail prices of electronic items.

At the end of the day, everyone can make up their own mind if it's a 'sweet deal' or not...it's your money.


We shall have to agree to disagree on this one.  Respectfully of course.   :)

I believe you may lack knowledge on the inner workings of local business and hence your myopic view on this subject.

US$100 for an item in the US of A does not translate into a reasonable selling price of TT$640 in Trinidad

A general rule of thumb for most industries is 10 to 1

Which takes into account overheads like shipping, staff, property rental, etc...

So again, if the monitor costs US$295 a local price of TT$2950 is fair.

If same monitor is sold locally for TT$2500.00 that is a pretty decent deal.

If it goes for $1999.99, it probably fell off the back of a truck in Costa Rica. lol

Had it been an individual selling a monitor on the trading grounds, your point would stand, since he does not have the overheads of a business.

However, Cariszone is a fully established company that has to endure all the trappings of operating legitimately in our Twin Island republic.

lol @ peggle collection.

If you missed that class in school, let me explain the economics behind it briefly.

Some items with decent demand can be imported in bulk over sea (which is considerably cheaper than via air)

A business owner could purchase 20+ units and get a better price than you would via retail from Amazon or NewEgg.

These two factors, when put together can result in a cheaper final price to you in Trinidad vs importing it yourself.

Of course, items like high end GPUs and exotic motherboards won't have enough demand to warrant that. Basic items like a 21" LCD monitor, Keyboards, Generic mice, System Cases, Line Conditioners, etc.....tend to fall in that category.

Well it's either the 'x10' rule  applies or it doesn't.

nah man...just been in the import game for almost two decades so I know it like the back of my hand.

The x10 rule is general....a good consumer guide. I use it even when looking at kitchen utensils and such for the misses. lol

Brisk bar code scan with my android phone and insta-check the price online. If it is a food warmer for example, going on amazon at US$30.00 and the store selling it for TT$295.99 we'll still buy it instead of importing.

As is the case with most rules, there will be exceptions.

If we were going to buy 40 of those warmers and could afford to wait 4 - 6 weeks for it to arrive, we would import via sea and it would work out much cheaper.

Ha...well you and that 'x10' mentality could stay right dey.

This is me not throwing money away for the sake of what passes for local 'business'...

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/27/yjume6am.jpg)

Yeah...add that to the $1161 that I paid for it on Amazon.

So for just a dollar or two over $1300 TT, I am now the proud owner of a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.

*wonders how much it sells for locally*  :/


I'll be getting all my 'sweet deals' on Amazon, thank you very much.

It sells for TT$1634.77 locally to be exact:

http://www.cariszone.com/categories/computer-accessories/computers/tablets/galaxy/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-7-inch-wi-fi.html

If you apply a GATT 5% discount, the price falls even lower to TT$1553.00

The Galaxy Tab 2 sells for US$179.00 on Amazon. As a result, the 10 to 1 rule of thumb would provide a suggested retail price in Trinidad of around TT$1790.00

To summarize the discussion using this as an example, the local price on Cariszone.com would be classified as "fair".

No price gouging or other alarmist claims need be made. lol

I had a friend who brought in a Galaxy Tab that was DOA (dead on arrival). She had to send it back up to the states with a friend to get it exchanged.

If someone chose to pick one up locally at $1600.00 at Pricesmart or Cariszone, I won't rag on 'em.

Precisely.

That is the very purpose of the forum. To foster discussion amongst members.

Something that has become a dying art form. lol.

More common to just click "like" on facebook nowadays than to actually discourse intelligently with your fellow gamer.

In the case of my friend who got the defective galaxy tab, it ended up costing her more than the local price after having to ship it back and wait weeks to get a replacement.

More in terms of $$ and more in terms of time as well. Poor thing.

As with many things of this nature....there isn't a right or wrong answer. It always "depends"

A lot of factors to consider. Do you want warranty? Do you want the item right away, or can you wait weeks for delivery? Are you a risk taker and don't mind rolling the dice with customs? Are you comfortable with ebay? Do you have an Amazon Prime membership? Do you have a reliable sky box service? Is the item large and would be costly to ship via air? etc....etc...

After someone reads this discussion, they will be able to way all the options and take the best course for them.

Also, staff would be less callous in derailing local sweet deals by comparing them to foreign yard sticks.

Apples to Apples, you know the deal.

I'd say it was a healthy discussion all things considered.

lol, strident could work too. A bit of both.


stri·dent 
/ˈstrīdnt/
Adjective
Loud and harsh; grating.
Presenting a point of view, esp. a controversial one, in an excessively and unpleasantly forceful way.
Synonyms
sharp - grating



cal·lous 
/ˈkaləs/
Adjective
Showing or having an insensitive and cruel disregard for others.
Synonyms
unfeeling - insensitive - heartless - hard


I think it is the insensitive bit of callous I was trying to capture....sometimes we can be a little bit myopic and not take into consideration the environment in which we operate.

Beating down on a sponsor's price / product as Awesome pointed out, should be done only if thoroughly deserved.

One hand doesn't clap

@LQDSNK you're right, we probably should have had the discussion in our staff section.

Unfortunately, there are no workarounds.

EA needs to get their act together and fix the bloody thing.
I cannot believe after nearly 3 years, that EA refuses to fix Origin to be compatible with the Caribbean/Latin American region.

Title: Left 4 Dead 2 is free on Steam until tomorrow
Post by: woodyear99 on December 25, 2013, 10:11:30 PM
No reason not to pick this up, free!


http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/12/25/left-4-dead-2-is-free-on-steam-until-tomorrow/

Not killed enough undead monstrosities this Christmas? Let Valve fix that for you. Left 4 Dead 2 is now free on Steam. In case you've missed it thus far, Left 4 Dead is blooming brilliant. You and up to three human buddies fight through 90 minute missions set in different zombie-infested locales across America. The zombie throngs are managed by an AI director, which measures your health and stress levels and doles out varying degrees of punishment to match your perceived mood. Watch out, also, for the special infected - hideous supermutants with unique ways of punching/eating/melting your face.

The Left 4 Dead 1 maps have all been ported into the sequel, making Left 4 Dead 2 the definitive entry in the series. There are also plenty of fan-made campaigns and mods on the Steam workshop, including a Helm's Deep Lord of the Rings map and a mod that turns your party of survivors into Velociraptors.

According to a Left 4 Dead 2 Steam announcement, the game will be free until 10AM PST 26/12/2013. Go, go, go.
