Stuff to remember on thanksgiving

No this is not about being thankful etc. (which by the way I am); this is about what I don't need to buy this thanksgiving. Things to remember amidst all the hoopla and needless hype & excitement. I have already spent a good 3-4 days researching stuff that I absolutely don't need this year; and most of them I already have.

I dont need no - 

#1. Blueray\DVD player - no matter how smart or how internet ready they are; you dont have any bluerays and I dont think you will ever go rent one or buy one. Just connect the TV to one of your 3 laptops and watch whatever content that you can stream; you already donate monthly to Netflix.

#2. Roku\Smart devices - refer #1.

#3. Tablet - ipad 2\3\mini - whatever; think about the 2 kindles that you never use, dust them up atleast.

#4. TV - well I haven't made my peace with this one yet; but I do have 2 32'' Sony Bravia's and I paid good money about 3 years back; not only you will loose money on a perfectly good piece of TV that you like; you will spend another 1000$ chasing the 55''.

#5. Laptop - again I am not sure about this one. I have an old macbook (which crawls now a days); toshiba (work) and vaio (technically wifes). Technically looks like I may have to invest on a personal laptop for some personal projects. But I hate shelling out big bucks for a macbook pro; maybe look at an ultrabook ?

Comeback and read this all throughout this holiday season. Let see if you win this battle.
