The Super Sexy Deal
by nocoolnamejim on Comments
Alrighty folks, it is time to raise the curtain on a discovery recently made by the magnificent and sexy ChiliDragon. The mysterious way I have kept this under wraps while I have explored this has gotten some rather...unusual...guesses from some of the more wild imaginations among our lively community. OK, now you've seriously piqued my interest. Is this perhaps some sort of stripper/PC-hybrid? In addition to running The Witcher, does it pleasure you indescribably? If yes, I am so getting one of those whatchamacallits! Monco59 While that would indeed be something well worth spending $600 on (and something that would certainly put the pesky console makers out of business once and for all after word got around), I am sad to say it is not a stripper/PC-hybrid. I think it's a giant life size blow up doll of our buddy Jimbo's man crush dude. Xboxrulze The "Man Crush Dude" referenced in the previous sentence is none other than the indescribeably macho Kratos from the God of War games. And, frankly, if I knew where to order something like that I would do so in an instant, and then put it out on my front porch for the upcoming Halloween holiday to scare off those pesky kids that constantly ring my doorbell. I don't think I would ever keep it inside, because then I would, of course, be walking around with a constant inferiority complex within my own house as Kratos' manly muscles greeted me every new morning. Um...time to move on. The deal that the ChiliDragon discovered is through our local CompUSA store. They are offering a deal similar to Best Buy's product replacement plan on ALL computer parts being sold in their store. The deal is that you pay a slightly extra fee up-front and then, anytime in the following two years, you can bring the item you bought back in for store credit for the full purchase amount. So, for example, if I were to buy THIS bad mamba jamba, I could bring it in a couple of days before the two year anniversary of my purchase and get $700 to use towards anything in the store. Say, as an example, a brand new, updated video card. The initial purchase item does not need to even be broken! Naturally, the downside is that you don't get to keep the part you're bringing back in. But as the PC gaming enthusiasts among us know, computer parts are worth much, much less two years after you get them anyway. Soooo...right now it looks like I will be getting that sexy beast of a card that I linked to in the original quote, and then two years later bringing it back in and getting the updated sexier beast version (or, alternatively, $700 worth of goodies in some other form.) The price for this trade-in plan for the part in question? $90. So I would be swapping $90 now for $700 two years from now.
