Everyone got a new 1080p E-LED 60hz excellent color accuracy/contrast for the price 32" TV for the house. I've already used it and set it to the most calibrated settings (Thanks to televisioninfo.com and their machines) and the thing is absolutely stunning to play games/anime on.

This is a really nice upgrade, since all we had was shitty old CRT TV's.

Other than that, I asked for hot sauce, macadamia nuts, chocolate, blank CD's, and a wireless handheld keyboard. (Going to use it to sit on the couch and control my computer from it on the TV, just to switch in between games/video/emulators.) I got my early present (new GPU. 6850) early though.

Reasons not to buy from Amazon

If you want to order a book (or something else), don't buy it from Amazon. If it's a book, order it directly from the publisher or through a local book store. And if you want to send a URL as a reference to a book, make sure it's not an Amazon page.

Here are the reasons — plenty of them.

Amazon publishes ebooks designed to attack your freedom (PDF or html).

Amazon wiped a user's Kindle and deleted her account, then offered her kafkaesque "explanations".

Amazon's on-line music "sales" have some of the same problems as the ebooks: users are required to identify themselves and sign a contract that denies them the freedoms they would have with a CD.

Amazon's shipping in the US is done in a sweatshop More info, including paramedics standing by for workers who pass out from the heat.

Amazon cut off service to Wikileaks, claiming that whistleblowing violates its terms of service. It had no need to go to court to prove this, because if you rent a server from Amazon, you have no rights.

Amazon squeezes small publishers. For instance, Amazon cut off Swindle sales for an independent book distributor in order to press for bigger discounts. (The article ends by promoting ebooks for another platform, the Shnook from Barnes and Noble. While that company is not as nasty to small publishers, its ebooks do violate your freedom in most of the same ways.)

[Anonymous No.]

Amazon charges publishers for 20% sales tax in the UK even though the tax it pays is 3%.

UK independent bookstores condemn Amazon for not paying taxes as they do.

Amazon doesn't just compete with independent book stores, it arrogantly seeks to destroy them. Independent book stores urge people not to buy from Amazon.

Amazon appears to treat self-published authors well, but it can unilaterally cut the price of their books. And when it does, the authors are the ones who lose.

Amazon censored an ebook that exposed how ebook bestseller lists can be manipulated (and therefore are meaningless).

Amazon was a member of ALEC. ALEC is the right-wing lobbying group that promotes voter-suppression laws and "shoot first" laws, as well as attacks against wages and working conditions in the US. Amazon quit ALEC after public pressure in May 2012, but I am sure it still seeks the same nasty policies that ALEC advocated and is waiting for a new tool to achieve them.

Amazon's tax avoidance means it sucks money out of your country's economy.

In addition, the ease of using the site leads some people to spend more than they want to spend. While this can happen in a physical store, you don't spend all day there.

Same thing, except my dad picked them out and today told me he was getting me 32GB of RAM and a video card. I'm not one to complain about gifts usually but why on earth does any sane person need 32GB of RAM unless they're into heavy 3D graphics modeling or rendering. Another thing is he refused to believe me when i told him Win 7 home premium was limited to addressing 16GB of ram max.

I'll never really get into ebooks. I still like buying physical books. I just don't like digital books. It doesn't feel right. I feel more comfortable with a nice big book in my hands. Plus if the books are on something that also has internet access you can bet I won't be reading that book.

Yeah, last year. When people didn't think it would actually work so no one bothered to fuck with anyone and it was small and only a few people. But after seeing how successful it was, everyone is going to want to get in on it and that's going to make it more enticing for the "epic trolls"

It takes some effort to wade past the tripfag circlejerk, but the effort and stuff people have been getting this year look nice.

Though by getting more attention there are a now a considerable amount of people who haven't received a thing from their secret santa, myself included. I don't think we should assume such things though, because in the threads the people complaining about not getting anything may be very vocal or consistent about it, and there's also very few people posting about receiving their gift in comparison to how many people signed up, roughly 500, but again there are probably people who never post about receiving a thing since I never saw a post from the person who received my gift.

It's OK anon, it's not yet time to fully freak out. Don't until sometime early Jan. (7th recommended apparently). Shipping is slow this time of year and some people are only starting to assemble presents now. Some probably pay for the cheapest (read: slow and no tracking) shipping too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10246522

I suppose that's true, if people ordered something from Japan and picked SAL right as they were given their assignment they probably haven't even got it yet. I paid for a figure a good 3 weeks ago and it still hasn't come yet. Maybe I'm just anal about people sending and receiving Christmas presents before Christmas, because shipping has been a part of nearly every Christmas for me so I try to get everything out before the 15th to make sure it'll actually get there.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10246551
It's a good thing you're organized and plan ahead well! Unfortunately not everyone is like that. Getting it by Christmas is nice but sometimes it can't be helped if they ordered late or can't buy into expedited shipping. Well at least some people are sending apology cards ahead of time telling their assignment their stuff will be late. Hang in there anon!
