EoFF, what would you do with 150$ in best buy $?

[Peegee]

I won a 150 gift card (so it can't be used to purchase a stick of gum and have 149$ change), and I don't know what to do with it.

Variables:

- my gaming computer is good enough for the game I play, world of warcraft
- I don't play other mulltiplayer online games
- I download a lot of things, so movies is out of the equation
- I already bought my brother a 150$ light saber (in hindsight should've waited)
- Nintendo Wii doesn't have enough games to my liking yet
- I don't like PS3s

My current working ideas is to buy 5 warcraft game cards or sell the card to somebody and spend the money elsewhere. My brother says to buy a stereo system. I'm going to look for a stereo speaker system for my cd player. Otherwise it's going to wow game cards.

Use it to choke NANNY MANUS to death. :bigsmile:

[Levian]

I bought FFVA today. :excited:

I would wait till Twilight Princess comes out for Gamecube, which is next Friday. Or maybe it's out in Canada already, I don't know.

[Xander]

You buy Wii for me.

A sure-fire thing:

Add it to my Wii pool

[Alastair|UK]

150 pieces of gum mmm gum

[Shlup]

I would save it until you're ready to buy a Wii.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Does it have to be Best Buy? Their merchandise is either broken, half-broken, or lame.

[Yooniece]

Don't buy anime from Best Buy. They have that Americanized dubbed crap.

You're better off saving it towards a big purchase- like a digital camera (they have better deals on their dicas online)... pay part with the giftcard- the rest with your money. $150 doesn't get anything long-lasting... just videogames or dvds (which isn't a bad idea either ^^;;;)

and get WOW burning crusade if u havent all ready

[Cruise Control]

Cow Tails, at 39 cents a piece, thats a lot. Over a years worth if you eat one a day.

[Jowy]

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr - The Complete Series. I believe it's $100.

Just blow the rest on stuff that'll rot your teeth in the impulse aisle.

[Roogle]

Well, I'm not sure if what I'd want would be under $150. I would probably buy some supplies for my camera and camcorder.

[Reles]

I think I need a good movie collection. Or some video games, just whatever I happen to find.

[Peegee]

Yeah the problem is that I don't have any consumables I need, like dvds or etc (I buy them elsewhere), and the Wii won't be purchased until spring 2007 when new games come out.

I ended up giving it to my parents who will buy another usb hard drive.

[Chemical]

Break it up into 3 50$ gift certificates and give them away to cousins/siblings for Christmas.

[Peegee]

It'd'll be funny if I used a gift card to buy another gift card :)

Most of the time you poeple say the amercan version sucks it virtually the same, just eddited and some name changes.

A few exceptions yes, but they have plenty of great Anime.

But yess, put your money towards a bigger savings.

Yes, "us people" do say such things- not only because we truly think the repackaging sucks, but because they split up the series into discs with few episodes and overcharge you for the whole lot. ^^

Why would I pay $20 per 3-episode disc of dubbed Viz releases?

[Yuffie514]

first and foremost, i am always drawn to the electronics section, especially video-games. i could probably pick up a few gadgets on the way as well.

Usually you get 4, maybe five actually. Not many run off 4 anymore. Plus there are sets so you don't pay as much.

You can also just switch it Jap with english subtitles to avoid bad voice acting. But what exactly is repackaging?

[rubah]

I would've gotten a harddrive for myself.

[Peegee]

I spent 60 bucks on a nice set of speakers for my psp. I now have loud pumping music in my room ^_^

[KentaRawr!]

I would buy some video games, I suppose.

[Martyr]

CDs. I mean, that's, like, 10-15 CDs. That's totally awesome.

Now I'm curious. Are you saying that music bought at best Buy will somehow be on lower quality CDs? I don't see any way that's possible, but it's something to know if it's true, since I buy a lot of CDs there. They cost less. Ha! Is there a reason?
