This is why Cyber Monday and Shopping online is better than Black Friday

Black Friday & Cyber Monday

The best deals on all Black Friday & Cyber Monday purchases ironically do not occur on their designated dates. It's an old marketing trick, the best deals actually occur the weeks before Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Even in brick and mortar stores like Best Buy, you'll find the deepest discounts the week prior. Fortunately, you're a smart shopper and know that shopping online beats all the lines and get the best deals. Not to mention that if you have Amazon Prime, you'll get 2-day free shipping. So as you can tell, there is a large cost savings by doing it online. Depending on your state, you may not even have to pay taxes on your purchase up front.


Playstation 4

These consoles aren't out just yet, but that doesn't mean the pre-order sales aren't available. Amazon has an excellent deal starting 9:00 AM PST on 11/12/2013. Pre-orders on triple AAA launch titles like the list below will be buy 2 get 1 free. An easy, cheap way to stock up for gifts or yourself! Place any three games in your shopping cart from the list below and use claim code "GR8TNESS" to get 3 games for the price of 2 games.

Xbox One

Xbox one is nearly out as well, and they have their fair share of deals too. Not as great as the current PS4 deals, but watch this section, I'll update it as newer or better deals become available. Even the consoles themselves are hard to come by, and if you haven't ordered one yet, you might as well skip this section for now. There is a waiting list at every major retailer, so don't expect deals on the consoles themselves, look for the deals on the games instead.
PC Games are where you'll usually find the best discounts. Green Man Gaming has really made a name for themselves in their excellent offers as well. Here are just some of the top games I've found with the best discounts. I highly recommend bookmarking this post and i'll keep it up-to-date as new video game deals get released.

Amazon 2013 Black Friday Sales

By
Boycott Black Friday and Still Get Great Deals Stores like Best Buy, Sears, Walmart are opening way too early and ruining Black Friday. It's a sport for some, and that is fine but when you start opening stores early on Thanksgiving evening, you've gone too far. It's sad, and you really should be focusing on spending time with family. As a prior employee of Best Buy Geek Squad I remember having to go to bed at 7PM Thanksgiving night just to be up and at the store by 4 AM in the morning. That was terrible enough, but at least I was able to enjoy most of Thanksgiving. Stores are now opening as early as 8PM, that means time with family has to be cut. Therefore it's easy for me to agree with groups all around the world boycotting. The trouble is, it's hard to boycott a good deal. Well, it's time to get smart and move your shopping all online. This way you can spend the day with your family and even do a little shopping while avoiding the long lines and li

Best Buy Geek Squad Black Tie Protection aka Extended Warranty vs Squaretrade

By
As a previous Best Buy Geek Squad employee I use to say "eh, maybe" to extended warranties when asked by many of those who purchase electronics and such from Best Buy. (They use to force us to say "Geek Squad Black Tie Protection" but we all know what it really is). Note, the Geek Squad Black Tie Protection GSBTP was previously known as PSP or Product Service Plan. Even I personally purchased it on some items like notebooks. Although I can repair any defects that may occur, I could not pull parts from my hind end. I now redact and advise all to consider the alternative. Don't get me wrong, I've never had a bad experience and they do cover what they say they will cover. Assuming the sales person gave you correct information, or didn't bend the truth to make their individual goal sheets look better. My reason for the change of heart is an alternative company who covers more , for less . Sometimes they even have sale pricing on warranties. Best B

Fix Not Enough Storage Message On iPhone and iPad

By
What Does Not Enough Storage Mean? You wake up after charging your iPad or iPhone all night and find the above message on your device. It reads "Not Enough Storage This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. You can manage your storage in Settings." When your iPhone or iPad is connected to Wifi and being charged, it takes the opportunity to backup all your settings to the free 5GB iCloud storage included with Apple ID's. This is incredibly convenient, especially if you ever upgrade or need your existing device replaced or repaired. Apps, Settings and other iPhone, iPad data is backed up but does not actually take up much room on your device. You'll find that the majority of your storage is used up by Photos or Videos in your Camera Roll. Is it worth upgrading iCloud storage to next tier? Simply, no. There are two major reasons to avoid upgrading your iCloud storage and why you should look into alternatives. iCl
