SSDs have nice prices on Amazon, pity I have no pennies, I would grab some nice 2TB slab:(

Beware Amazon for electronics like this, especially SSDs.
They bin all common part numbers, and while you will probably get a genuine one, it may have been a model intended strictly for let's say the Asian market.  It will work just fine but if it doesn't some manufacturers will demand you deal with their Asian counterpart for a warranty/return if it's outside the Amazon help window.

I've seen this very thing with an SSD (not mine) but also my cell phone, depending on who you ask was meant for the Candian market, which is why it doesn't always get proper updates*.


*Why would my phone need to be in the intended country to get an update over wifi, it's total nonsense.

I decided beforehand that I wasn't going to buy anything for Black Friday/Cyber Monday this year because I always obsess over it and end up spending too much on crap because I think I have to get everything I could possibly ever want while it's cheap.

I waffled on a couple things until the coupon codes were no longer valid, which helped me not spend money. The only thing I ended up buying was Mario Odyssey for $35 at Walmart since I had intended on buying it anyway, so I might as well get $15 off.

I decided to buy T-shirts, got 60% off.
Bought three:
