there was an insane deal on the microsoft store this weekend, if you bought kinect sports rival you got one of 8 or so xbox one games for free. I ordered one of each and they all shipped, so for $27 each I'll be getting GTA 5, Halo MCC, WWE 2k15, DA3, Unity, GTA5, and two copies of Forza Horizon 2. Outside of that I picked up mordor for $20, Forza 5 for $20, and bought digital GTA5 and D3 on PS4. Also
Rakuten is doing a $30 off $100 if you buy with paypal, only good on a list of specific products below but includes $50 xbox and $54 ($4 mystery fee!) PSN cards. GTA5 + COD for $105 is pretty good too.
PayPal $30 off $100 - Rakuten.com
Best Buy has a pretty decent cyber monday going on, the B1G1 40% off on Wii U games is especially really good. I picked up finally Bayonetta 2 and a 3d copy of Super Smash (gift)

Radioshack is cool for when you're doing projects and need some specific resistors and whatnot immediately, but otherwise it's cheaper to order them at a multitude of other places.
This is a company that never embraced the changing landscape of technology unfortunately.

[Target B Last of us Bundle 359 + tax, another 5% with redcard 12-02-2014 - Slickdeals.net
Apparently a deal going on for Dec 2-3 to get 10% off electronics with the Target Cartwheel app. You can use it on the PS4 bundles, and then the 5% Red Card on top of it to get the price after tax down to like $360.
Check out the link on slickdeals that I posted above.

Wait, Radioshack by you still sells actual useful things for electronics repair? I'm jelly, every single one I've seen in the last ~5 years are glorified cell phone stores/sharper image wannabes.

Radioshack still has their selection of resisters, diodes and other things that are useful in making electronics.
Unfortunately, making electronics isn't very popular these days, and their staff is typically clueless on how to do it.
What stopped the company from going out of business was broadening their horizons to cell phones and cheap toys like RC cars and stuff.
Thus is life. You're still able to find a selection of parts, but not nearly as expansive as it once was. And now the majority of the staff is blissfully unaware of what the parts are used for.

Yeah there's 3 in a radius around my house that I used to stop in during senior design.
At one they had a huge Arduino section with a whole bunch of different boards, controllers, shields, etc that was really impressive. I think the prices were way above Sparkfun though. A worker saw me looking at it and was asking me a whole bunch of questions about what I was doing with the raspberry pi and other Arduino questions as well.
I felt like he was a solid dude and he wasn't even trying to make a sale.

Yeah, I wanted a slimport cable for my nexus 5 to hook it up to the TV. The guy at RadioShack had no idea what I was talking about. I explained it and he handed me an HDMI to USB cable. I was like, no. That's not right. When I saw that he was the manager I was just like, uh... Thanks anyways

This was an excellent article. Both funny and sad. I've often wondered how RadioShack was still around, and this sheds a bit of insight as to how.
