Earlier tonight I picked up Star Trek 2-disc Special Edition from a local Wal-Mart for $27.83 ($28.30 after employee discount and taxes). Shortly afterwards I ended up going to "another" Wal-Mart location to see if I could find the Dragon Age: Origins Collector's Edition (the one in the steel DVD jewel case) as well as a DVD/CD shelf, since it is currently employee appreciation period at work. So we each have 3x 20 percent-off coupons. Well I managed not only to find the Collector's Edition at the Wal-Mart I went to, but also was able to combine both the game and DVD/CD shelf (which holds a total of 240 DVDs) together for a 20 percent-off deal on just ONE coupon
! Dragon Age: Origins Collector's Edition was $68.83 and the shelf was $49.76. After the employee special discount and taxes, the total came to $107.20! I'll let the rest of ya do the math on how much each item came to
. As for the other two coupons, well I gave them to my parents. So it's a good thing I was able to use the ONE coupon on two items
.
And LAST and finally just the other night, I picked up two sets of OCZ 6GB DDR3 PC3-15000 Reaper Triple Channel kits for $175.99 each kit (plus a $5 discount since I purchased two of them). In total that's 12GB of memory for my new and upcoming system build. Total cost after the $5 discount and taxes was $392.74.
Hours earlier tonight, I stopped by a local Wal-Mart just for the hell of it. I ended up finding Prince Of Persia for ONLY $0.98 cents! So picking it up was somewhat of a no-brainer. Yes even thought I know many have criticised the late Prince Of Persia for being too child-oriented like, you can't lose for something less then a $1. Hell the DVD jewel case is probably worth that exact same value
. Along with that......I did pick up a bottle of extra spicy Mott's Clamato. I ended up spending a total of $5.46 after employee discount and whatever applicable taxes. But otherwise overall, that was a decent find. It's THOSE deals that allow me to have the BIG collection of PC games that I have. Now it's all a matter of getting the time to have them played
.
Well since my last blog entry, I finally got the Asus Rampage II Extreme mobo and an Intel Core i7 920 CPU last week. The cost of both as a bundle unit was $683 Cdn ($771.79 after taxes). For any info you can check out the link on this bad boy mobo! As for DVDs, I picked up Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs from work for the special release day price of $17.97 ($20.31 after taxes). And finally earlier today I picked up another WD 1TB Greenpower II HD, except that this one has only 8MB cache since the store did not have any 32mb cache versions left. My older 120GB Maxtor drive which I use in my Linksys Netwoork Storage unit crapped out a few days ago, so I'm getting this one as a replacement. Cost of the new HD was $81.50 ($92.43 after surchanges and taxes). I also spent an extra $13.99 ($15.81 after taxes) for a 50 pack of CD-Rs, since I'll be burning some CDs soon. I earlier today paid a visit to my instructor at the private college I attended just over a year ago, and manage to get a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. So I'll need to burn that to a CD. Lastly.....I just recently had my Acura TSX Aero kit installed and figured I'd post some pictures. So enjoy!
