Re: The Official 2016 Black Friday Thread

I picked up a bunch of movies. I usually wait for Black Friday to do that. I did some Christmas shopping since they had sales today.

55 inch 4K for $300......

I went shopping today, not even for black friday sale, I just needed something and went to a store to pick it up.......bad choice. Traffic to get in, every aisle was filled with people, and the store employees couldn't really care less about helping people. Asked one guy about if they had something(since I was trying to fix something at home and wanted a replacement part for it), and he was just like(in one of those "I couldn't care less,now leave me alone" types of voices) "We don't have anything like that here, go fix it your self....".

That's exactly what I'm trying to do...I went to the store to find a replacement part to fix it myself, but he acts like I'm supposed to create the replacement part from scratch or something?

I will just say this, cut the guy some slack. Working retail is stressful enough, even more so when you have thousands of people demanding things.

The guy was unprofessional, no denying that. However, working Black Friday is very stressful and exhausting, he was clearly taking out some of his frustrations on you.

I just went ahead and bought an Xbox Slim + Skyrim with the deal Amazon was running. I've been waiting to pull the trigger for some time and finally went ahead and did it. Now the hard part is the waiting for it.

Re: The Official 2016 Black Friday Thread

I may do some Cyber Monday buying, I'm looking for a Amazon, Roku or Fire Stick/Box type thing. If anybody knows which is best or of a good one to buy that has everything on it was appreciate a shout.

Re: The Official 2016 Black Friday Thread

Do they come with everything on it? Like I think Kodi? Is one better than the other? Thanks for response

We can't discuss that here. Fire TV will be the most powerful out of all of them.

Kodi doesnt necessarily mean pirated content so it should be OK to discuss, right? People use Youtube to stream content illegally too but we can still talk about that site. I wont get into how to download the illegal streams or content. Delete my post if you disagree.

I personally use Kodi on my Fire Stick and its great. The Fire stick and Fire TV are the easiest mainstream devices I've seen when it comes to installing Kodi. I dont believe Roku allows you to load Kodi.

That's like saying torrents are fine to talk about because 1% of the content available was put out there for free by it's creator. We all know what's really going on.

I have only used Kodi for MLB.TV (logging into my account that I purchased a subscription with) to get 60 FPS playback. I didn't know that illegal stuff happens with Kodi; I thought it was simply rendering software (as I could also play my music files, but I never used it for that).

Lets say I make a mod for NBA2k and the easiest way to distribute it is by creating a torrent...should I not be able to distribute it here because others use torrents to distribute illegal content?

I'm just like Blzer except I'm aware of the other content on Kodi. I use it because the Plex client on Kodi is way better than the default one on my Fire stick.
