Holiday Shopping Blues

So, it's that time of year again--the holiday season. Now, I am typically a shopper. I like to go shopping and I really like to find great deals; however, my love for shopping somehow, someway disappears during the holiday season. I guess I just feel as though nothing is really "on sale." For example, before the holiday season began, I wanted to buy my boyfriend a Playstation system that was advertised for $399. So, needless to say, I expected that the game console would be cheaper on "black Friday." Unfortunately, the Playstation was advertised as being "on sale" for $399 in several ads. I was shocked. $399 is the regular price of the game console! I searched around online and found the same price...but you had to pay for shipping, too. Honestly, I am thinking about buying my boyfriend something completly different for Christmas. I just have a feeling that the game console will go on sale the day after Christmas!

My boyfriend wants me to buy him that too, or the xbox 360 which is the same price I believe. My brother works at a gamestop and he can't even get a discount on them. There are never any coupons or sales on those types of things. My brother also thinks they will go on sale after Chirstmas or next year because they have both been out for almost 2 years and they usually cut the price by 50 or 100 dollars after 2 years...so we'll see!
