There are a few shops which I for some reason cannot shop at. Crazy as it may seem it's about the feeling in the stores.
The way they lay out things, the kinds of products they sell, pricing etc.

Target is one of them. So a $ 100 gift certificate doesn't do it for me.
Wouldn't know what to buy with that.

Even stuff on sale many times doesn't approach the real value of what I am willing to pay.

Bon-Ton, Saks Fifth Ave, Kohl, Best Buy, lately Sears to name a few.

As one gets older one realizes : I do not need more stuff!
Sure. U don't need toothpaste. Toilet paper. Deodorant etc from target. I believe u!

Honestly some people are so anti gift card nothing u can say to convince them gift cards do have real value when used approiately (obviously retailers want u to spend more at their store)
 
Are they discounting the new Apple TV? Their Black Friday ads only show the previous generation Apple TV.
 
I bought a 65" 4k SUHD TV recently and although there may not be much 4K content to watch at the moment, even normal TV looks amazing on it. My kitchen HD tv now looks crap in comparison.

SUHD is worth the extra money. SU's HD TV have have some of the best pictures currently available.

I've been trying to figure this out myself. The add shows a picture of the 3rd gen ATV but says right under the picture ALL APPLE TVs (assorted). So It seems like the 25% discount will be applied to the ATV4 as well. I'm going to attempt to buy tomorrow and see. An ATV 32GB or 64GB at $112 or $149 would be awesome!
 
I agree, I wish the PS4 had 4K content.. everything about that system is perfect to me..Can't believe they overlooked outputting games to 4K when they developed it.

I remember PS3 did not come out with 3D gaming, and was later patched to support 3D. I don't pretend to know the technical feasibility of the innards of the PS4, but I would think adding 4K support is just a software update anyway, assuming the graphics chip is powerful enough to support 4K games.

It is they way I was brought up and shop that determines whether a gift card has value.
To me it is like real cash.

So, if I know I can get the same items cheaper at Walmart, ALDI etc. I can't even spend gift card money
for higher priced items.
Once had a $ 100 gift card for Macy's and couldn't find anything that I wanted to spend that FREE money on.

Since I stopped acquiring STUFF, there is very little I buy.
iPhone, iPad and an MBP is all I need these days, plus a few clothes and food.

Just listen to George Carlin about STUFF and you'll understand.
 
Picked up the 42mm SG AWS. They give the gift card at the register. Maybe I'll get some toys for the tots with the GC…
 
Seeing as how the PS4 can barely output games at 1080P, there's no way it could push games in 4K even if it had the capability of rendering in 4K.

If they had put the CPU/GPU capability into it to render 4K, it would have been too expensive.

Is it just me, but I find the PS4 stutters and drops frames a "lot." It was extremely rare my PS3 would randomly freeze for a second or two.
 
Multi platform or exclusive?

Multi-platform - Batman Arkham Knight stutters all the time and is probably the worst example of a prominent game I can think of. It's not deal breaking, but it's irritating driving the batmobile only to have it freeze for a second or two. There are random couple of second freezes in Tomb Raider and Metal Gear but not as frequent as Arkham.

Yeah the games that are made for multiple platforms tend to have issues like that. Usually they either shoot for a certain resolution and frame rate or they shoot for a particular feature set and frame rate with upscaled resolutions.
