My Black Friday purchases, love em all!!

Gamestop - Waited out side @ 4:45 for them to open at 6, but only one lady went to stand in line at 5:15 and they let her in to buy so I went in right after her. They opened up at 5am instead of 6 so i wasn't complaining. So i got the PS3 bundle that included God of War 1 & 2 and Little Big Planet

After debating between a 360 and a PS3, finally went with a PS3. The free WiFi, online play, and Blu-Ray did it for me. Picked up GTA4 too and wanted COD: Modern Warfare 2, but they were sold out. So happy with it :)

Congrats, although i'm primarily a 360 guy for gaming i'd be lost without my PS3 for blu ray. That been said my two favourite games of this generation are on PS3, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Uncharted 2: Amongst Thieves. Now they where something special.

and as a huge, huge Final Fantasy fan i plan to experience Final Fantasy 13 on the PS3 next year, oh and the amazing looking Heavy Rain :D
 
6ft Mini Displayport to DVI Cables are finally in stock on monoprice. No more stupid dongles for me! Just one clean cable. B-)
 
yesterday and today...

Time to upgrade the drives...

2TB for iTunes library... G-Tech GD42000

1TB for Time Machine... G-Tech GD41000

And a little something for the ears. The album sounds good so far; especially track 2 "Crawl"...

I hope you have better luck with G-Tech than I did. Mine has been anything but reliable.

That sucks to hear. I did a fair bit of research before buying these drives and the vast majority of the reviews came back quite positive. I hope your drive (sorry to hear about it) was one of the anomalies.

What were the problems with it?
 
Was time for a new phone, and Cellular South had a great deal down here. Picked up the HTC Hero and am learning my way around it. This picture was actually taken with the phone, FWIW.

The $8.99 deal. I'm thinking if I should add Blu-Ray, but I don't think I'll ever have DVD's/Blu-Ray come to the house... I'm more of an Online person.:confused: It's cheaper than renting movies from iTunes, RedBox, BlockBuster, PlayStation Network.:eek:

It stopped mounting after a few months, so I paid to ship it back for repair. Seemed fine, but when I went to use it again a month later, it was failing to mount again. I called G-Tech, and they said it was repaired with a faulty part, which he said was a widespread problem. He said he'd send me an email to get it repaired again, but I never received it. Still trying to resolve the issue.

The irony, of course, is that I invested in G-Tech for the peace of mind of reliability. Needless to say, even if they do repair it again, I'll never be able to trust it. :(

Other than that, I certainly loved the design, external durability, and quietness of the drive. The power cord plugged into the drive very loosely, but the other connections were better.

I really do hope you get to enjoy your drives! Glad to hear most of the reviews were positive.
 
thanks

Thanks Perrumpo. Good luck getting your drive issue resolved. Like you, I chose these drives for their reported reliability.
