Black Friday 2018

It's back! My ninth annual Black Friday thread for ChiCitySports. This one is a little earlier this year as an ad has already been released.


The news, ads and store hours are starting to release so this is a good time to get this going! How you do Black Friday is up to you but I'll try and help everyone with the deals as much as I can. Also, be on the lookout for other deals and sales leading up to Black Friday. *cough* Amazon *cough*

Newegg Black November sale LINK


This is a month long sale beginning November 1st. They will host a Pre-Black Friday kickoff sale from Nov. 1-5th. I've found some great deals on NewEgg in the past including on Video Games. So just a heads up.

Wal-mart early access pass. (LINK)​

This sale gives customers early access to upcoming deals and begins on Nov. 1. Up to 40% off items during the sale.

Amazon Early Access LINK

You can find some gems on this Amazon sale but most of the time it's probably not worth it. 2-3 years ago i picked up the entire set of The Wire on Blu Ray for under $30.

Kudos to zack for doing this every year, helping out the fine folk of CCS smell them turkey farts right after Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday.

I still don't care for black friday faux deals and the process involved. However, the better topic to run on this one:

What is everyone *waiting* on, to pull the trigger and make the purchase during the whole end of year sales?

Right now, the only things on my wait list is good high speed, high capacity RAM (main machine has 128GB, but that's for work purposes, *home* builds are both 32gb and 16gb, would love to max them out) and possibly a different car as mine hit 600k miles and is 11/12 years old. Still runs great, but with recent injuries, if something were to happen, I couldn't fix it myself in a reasonable time frame. Would rather have some peace of mind.

I am looking at 2 possible purchases.

1. PS4.... I've always been an Xbox guy, have my Xbox One, but would like to add PS4 to my arsenal, so I can play some of the exclusives.

2. New gaming laptop, been watching and waiting for a while.... this one probably waits until Q1 of 2019 unless some crazy Black Friday deal shows up.

600K miles is a **** ton. Have you personally maintained the care throughout the life of the vehicle? I was reading it's mainly Mercedes and Volvos that can possibly reach 500K+ and even that is extremely rare. What type of car is it? My cars don't usually last more than 125-150K miles even with frequent preventative maintenance.

My Volvo goes hard but I'm not maintaining it

How does one put 50k miles on their car in a year, for 12 years?
