assfax Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I really need to eyeball some shit and get me an actual good 5.1 receiver and speakers. Fucking HATE my ass for goin' frugal and getting some RCA piece of shit. It's the fucking worst. Audio takes 5 seconds to come out when you're coming from silence. It pops and makes me wait 5 seconds to get back to the audio. If a movie has a very quiet scene the audio will cut in and out. Holy Jesus this thing is garbage. Maybe get that PS4 7.1 headphone set. It's supposed to work on PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I did in fact buy that Westinghouse. The speakers certainly aren't very good, but as TV speakers, they don't sound any worse than the speakers on the Samsung it replaced.That's because Samsung speakers are terrible. On my Samsung plasmas, the speakers are mounted facing DOWN. Needless to day, that doesn't do much for sound quality or volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to work on PC. OK, this is fairly easy. For a receiver, pretty much anything Onkyo, Denon, Pioneer, or Yahama is good, though Yamaha might be the best. From there it's all about what features you need. Make sure to check for refurbished deals on ShopOnkyo.com (Onkyo's own outlet site) and Accessories4Less.com. Both have really good deals on receivers, usually with a 1 year warranty instead of the 2 year warranty you'd get on a new receiver. For speakers, what are you looking for? The best bang for your buck is the Pioneer Andrew Jones series, but it consists of towers and bookshelf speakers. If you need satellite speakers, you want either the Energy Take Classic/Take Five or the similar speakers from Monoprice. You can mix and match if need be, and while some people don't recommend it, I've been OK with it. Onkyo's set of tower speakers has been on sale recently at Frys.com (NewEgg and Frys have a lot of the best deals) and they're really well-reviewed, though I've never heard them. I LOVE my Andrew Jones towers, though. They're an amazing bargain. Match them up with any kind of halfway decent receiver (including a stereo receiver) and you'll get awesome results with both digital and analog sources. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Guy Named Tracy Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I usually work 7pm-3am so I hit the mall around 4am last year. Most of the stores were a ghost town. The vast majority of people got their shopping done late on Thanksgiving night. It will probably be the same deal with the stores opening even earlier this year.

Stay Gold Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Just ordered Shadow of Mordor on PS4 for $25 at Newegg. No tax. Just a heads up if anyone was looking to get this. Only PS4 though (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Just got a PS4 for $329 with no tax/shipping from newegg (via Ebay) for my brother and an XBox One with the two Assassin Creed codes for $329 (+tax) from Amazon for my sister. I am too nice to them and/or have too much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew POE! Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Steam Autumn Sale http://store.steampowered.com/ Really considering picking up Civ 5 and Don't Starve and maybe Mass Effect bundle since I haven't play I'm thinking of getting Lords of the Fallen but I'm going to wait until that's the price on PS4 at retail. But do it on Civ 5 & Don't Starve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically its the same price minus DK. Probably as close as you can find without some crazy re-seller price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 As a side note, I dunno why sites sell on Ebay, that kinda blows my mind. Like the PS4 I got cheap off Ebay was sold by Newegg, but wasn't being sold on their own website. I assume Ebay at least waves their fees (or pays them) but it still seems weird.

Matt D Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I've got a two year old. We've got a Wii we got for our wedding in 09. Forget income, I won't have time to play anything for a few years anyway, not without being a shitty parent and using the TV as a babysitter or something. Making stuffed animals clap to a rendition of the Winnie the Pooh song beats Assassin's Creed whatever anyway. I do have my bus commute though. I should get a 3DS or something.
