So i planned to buy myself a new computer now with black friday and all. I found all the components, but had to call up for some reason i'm not going into, and forgot my phone. Well, now i'm home, and everything is either sold or nearly back to full price. Shit day

If you can't find a job then learn a 'second trade' and make some money on the side.
I heard snus costs an arm and a leg in Norway, how about you take a trip to Sweden and stock up so that you can sell some to friends and familiars (alcohol and ciggies also work). Razz

I didn't! I called them and it worked out. Only offer i missed was the motherboard for about 110 Euro less. Other than that, it all went smooth.

I guess it depends how serious you are about your PC and gaming. Most of my disposable income (which really isn't a lot) has in the past gone on my PC and games, probably like 90%

Black Friday is USA made thing. Before Americans started being all consumerist crazy, there was no such thing, especially here in Europe.

The same is with Santa Claus that we all know. It became popular after Coca Cola started advertising it Laughing

We had it here, but I don't know if there was such extent to it. My colleague from work bought ipad for a good buck (well considering how overpriced apple stuff here is, it was a good deal).

If you'll use your comp for other than just gaming and watching movies then it's a good investment (coding, developing stuff, doing web design etc.). Otherwise you are just throwing the money into something you don't really need.

Black friday came to Norway about 5 years ago and is only getting bigger. Now there are huge banners outside every large store. Don't really know what to think about it... other than people are idiots. You get a GREAT deal on 4-5 products but most people end up buying a lot of stuff they don't need. As consumers we aren't any better than the Americans... atl east not anymore Sad Saw an interview yesterday with a woman who bought a top that didn't even fit her. The reporter asked "so, why did you get it?" She said "it was so cheap, i couldn't resist"

Anyway, im guessing you're talking about komplett.no Stormwolf? I forgot to check out what they had for sale Crying or Very sad

Ah komplett, they seemed to be the only one really pushing it over here. The rest mentioned it but had just normal sales really.

I checked webhallen and went: Reaction No difference with the regular sales.

We have those too (sort of), but the funny part is that many of them sell stuff from three years ago at full price because people doesn't have any knowledge on tech and 'puters anyway Mind Is Full Of Fuck
Assembled PCs are the worst. The 700-800€ ones have a real value of 200€..at best, yet you see people who are ecstatic because of the 15% discount. Blessed ignorance Razz Laughing
