Outgeeking YOU

I can't wait now. Over the weekend I finally found an incredible deal on Memory Stick Pro Duo - 1Gb at about $50 less than anywhere else. So good I even quit the eBay hunt. What for? my PSP of course...

The oddball development tho is that www.NCIX.com offered a deal on Express shipping - it was even cheaper than regular mail. (WTF?). I didn't realize however than "express" meant courier service. Which in itself is pretty cool since I pretty much get it overnight.

But here's the catch - as a 9-to-5er, I'm never home to receive stuff. Argh! So I sat here today periodically checking the tracking number on-line just waiting to see the "attempted delivery" notice...
Well, "receiver not available" finally happened a few minutes ago so I called the 1-800 number to have them redirect the package across town to the local shipping centre closer to me (the "local" one to my postal code is not very "local" at all).

On a side note: I also gave up my eBay hunt for a copy of Kill Bill Vol.1 on UMD. With the money I saved on the Memory Stick, I decided it was worth the cost of simply buying it at the local Wal-mart. Yes, I've heard it all before - they're a faceless ruthless entity with no scruples. But the fact is, sometimes they really do offer the best prices. And if I can save 5 bucks, so be it. Anyway, I got my copy for only $25CAD.
True it's still quite pricy considering I can get both Volumes 1 and 2 for the same price on DVD, but the whole point of this exercise was for the novelty of having it on my portable....

And that, my friend, outgeeks YOU too. ^_^;
