Amazon Prime Day

Postby Cmdr Kharma » Mon Jul 10, 2017 8:14 pm

Just snagged a pair of Logitech 7:1 headphones for £28.99......(Should be able to hear that bloody monkey sneaking up behind me now)

Metal arms as well....Not like my turtle beach ones which cracked right across about a month ago......

Been super glued since...But cracking again.....

How fortuitous this deal arose at this time......

Mrs got a Fire HD 8 for £49.99.......Fire 7's are going for £29.99......Echo has got £70 off......

Nay bad lad.......

:D

Seems to be the second tier of summer sales.
Oculus are selling the CV1 and Touch controllers for £399.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

Perfect timing ... I have nearly 160,000 AmEx Points.
Already used nearly 60,000 to nab the Oculus + Touch bundle (US$399).

Seems its "anti prime day" for Amazon's computer component department. The 1080 ti's have rocketed. Some are over £800 now :shock: (they were sub £700 yesterday, I checked..)

Here in the US, they only offered an old GTX 750 2GiB (non-Ti IIRC) for around $100. I paid just $139 for a GTX 1060 3GiB several weeks back. The only other offering was for an old 8400 GS (PCI?). Really, really pathetic.

On the other hand, I got my wife a 5.9" Huawei Mate 9 for US$449, which I totally didn't expect. My wife loves larges phones, and with the 5.7" Honor 8 Pro not coming to the US**, she's been sticking with the lower-end 5.5" Honor 6X (and Honor 5X as a backup). But now she doesn't have to.

**Since over 90% of Americans get their phones "subsidized" from their carriers with long contracts, despite costing far more (we Americans are horrendously poor at elementary finance -- insert housing boom-bust of 2003-2007) ...
► Show Spoiler
So Huawei-Honor seems patient enough to keep selling at the low-end to US Millennials, the ones that cannot get a contract or have other funding issues. Again, I cannot blame them.

So this was basically the last and only 'hurrah' purchase, at significant savings, in the US for a Huawei-Honor phone, since the pipeline is now dry ... at least until the phone is really behind by next year.
