I spent around 90 minutes this afternoon dodging the teaming hordes of post-Turkey Day shoppers while searching for a Pioneer DV-343 DVD player. That was enough time to hit just about every place in town that sells DVD players (AFAIK).
BB had stacks of DV-341s and DV-440s. AK had one display unit (but I’m boycotting them… and it was $30 more expensive there). Circuit City - Ha! They continue to be one of the most worthless stores in existence. The mall, worthless. The other mall, why bother. A couple of other places were closed.
So I got home and spent 3 minutes ordering it from Amazon. It took me three minutes because I did a last minute comparison between the 333 and 343, ordered it with 1-click, and then changed my shipping options. It’ll be here Wednesday.
In other news, the Vikings have about 5 seconds to score a touchdown to tie the game. And the Winner is: Chicago. Have a day.
