Hello, hello. Just a short post today, to inject some much needed life to my blog.I was at Caldecott Hill yesterday, because my uncle and auntie had an interview on Primetime Morning. I actually got to stand and watch as they filmed it. How many 17 year olds get a chance to say that :P
After that I went to Plaza Singapura to meet up with my project group to "do project". Ended up doing project for 2 hours, then we went to Paradiz Centre to play pool.
On a completely random note, my cousin Velan is super lucky. He won the grand prize of the Okto Monsters vs Aliens contest. What's the prize? See for yourself:
With those out of the way, I can talk about today. I went to the PC Show with Yan Ming and Say Yin today. They were looking for laptops, and I just tagged along because I didn't want to stay at home.
The PC Show was everything I expected, and something I did not. It was crowded, stuffy, and noisy. Kinda predicted that. But what surprised me was that there were actually really good deals.
Since I already have a laptop, I wasn't paying much attention to the prices of the various models, but I did notice the discounts placed on other products. Cannon 500D, the DSLR camera that I am planning to get, is selling for about $100 cheaper than its usual price.
Computer accessories were also heavily discounted. There was a box containing 50 DVDs going for $19, a 8GB USB drive going for the same price, and a 22 inch monitor screen going for $350. If you can believe it, I even saw a USB mouse that cost only $6.50.
However, the items with the best deals had to be the video games. The Xbox 360 wired and wireless controllers cost $39 and$59 respectively, $20 off their usual price. Many games had their prices slashed down to almost 50%.
These offers didn't only affect the older games. New games, like Prototype and Red Faction: Guerrilla, were also much cheaper. Prototype was released just this week, and it is being sold at Comics Connection for $90. However, it's $72 at the PC Show. It's these kinda epic discounts that I'm talking about.
Yeah, I know I sound like I'm being paid to promote the PC Show. I honestly wish I was. I just found the PC Show a really good place to go bargain hunting, especially if you are a gamer, and since I am such a kind person, I'm letting all of you in on that secret.
Also, as you probably would have already guessed, I bought Prototype and Red Faction: Guerrilla :D
I also saw the G.I Joe trailer at the PC Show, and I have deduced that it is ****ing awesome, especially the last 10 seconds or so, and you have to watch it for yourself:
Actually, the whole point of this post was to let everyone know that the annual epic E3 round up post will be up tomorrow. Also, my blog isn't dead :D
