thats what i'm saying, tech giants are missing a golden opportunity. men have been cast aside and even though we are the top income earners we get treated like shit by the wyminz. where are the hologram fuckbots?

Well if the bundle isn’t available in cyber Monday I get screwed as the post says.
Amazon has had these bundles in the past, usually on Thursday or Friday. They didn’t run out very fast either

These bundles are everywhere and even at GameStop starting this Sunday.

I’ll jist get them there probably and be done with it. If Amazon has them cheaper I’ll just return the ones I got and get those instead.

Do you find stuff you actually want to buy? I browsed for half an hour and pretty much all they have is either stupid gadgets and nonsense or the usually horrible overpriced accessories marked down to reasonable prices. Any "main" products are outdated by 2-3 years and obviously just leftover inventory. I'm looking for a new TV, a new monitor, a video card and found fuck all.

Amazon doesn’t advertise their main deals for Black Friday or Cuber Monday ahead of time.

Im in the market for some SSDs, they gotta be a steal this season, right!?
They are already really cheap without deals, but I want some 1TB for under $100.

nvme is barely faster than a standard SSD and isn't worth the premium for most use-cases unless the form factor is needed due to having no expansion slots left in your case.

We'll likely see 1tb SSD's at sub $100 this year, but not this shopping season outside of a couple instances of the shit low-end ones being liquidated because the market is flooded with good and cheap Samsung's and the like.

Just a tip for anyone that might be wanting to pick up a drone this black Friday-

DJI Spark
DJI Mavic 2
DJI Phantom 4 ADVANCED or PRO

Ignore all the rest unless you know enough to ignore me.

Especially Don't get anything in the $100-$800 range (except a Spark) unless you know what you're doing. <$100 is fine. >$800 is *probably* fine, but it's tough to beat DJI nowadays unless you're planning to do something like quad racing.
FPV flying is something I wanted to do. Looked at it a couple years ago and a quick check makes it look like the chinese shit from bangood etc has gotten leaps and bounds better. I'm pretty out of touch with it only having some cheaper drones I messed with while researching back in the day. But I kinda thought the DJI's are great for a conventional control but didnt really have good offerings that could easily work well with a FPV goggle setup?

Something like this I had debated just as a gift for folk. Eachine E58 WIFI FPV With 2MP Wide Angle Camera High Hold Mode Foldable RC Drone Quadcopter RTF (Oh and to be clear I don't expect it to be anything like a mavic 2 or anything they mimic the look of)

I know absolutely nothing about quad racing or FPV. If I wanted to get into it, I'd look at what the guys in the drone racing league are flying.

DJI has their own FPV goggles now, but none of their drones would be competitive in racing.
