Todays haul at Best Buy included:
Picked this up to expand the storage in my Switch
SanDisk Ultra PLUS 128GB microSDXC UHSI Memory Card $30 (Black Friday deal already live. Normal price is $162.)
Been meaning to get this for PSVR but it's always been sold out. Finally got around to picking one up. Just in time for Doom which is supposed to support this controller as well.
PlayStationVR Aim Controller Farpoint Bundle PlayStation 4 $62
I have a 2TB drive in my PS4 but it isn't nearly enough space for me. Now I'll have a combined 6TB of HDD space.
WD easystore 4TB External USB 30 Portable Hard Drive Black $80 (Black Friday deal is already live for this one too. Normal price is $200)

Maschine MK3...

LOVE IT
Its like having the Maschine studio in your lap but everything is easier to navigate and create.
If you got the studio you don't NEED one but if you want something more portable and just as powerful then it's worth it.
It even runs off USB power (can be plugged into a wall too) and has audio jacks for headphones

I'm copping.
Copped this receiver at best buy for $200 down from $350.
It has 4 HDMI 2.1 inputs, blue tooth, 7.2 surround sound outputs, smartphone control, and more.
Also picked up 2 tower speakers ($100 each down from $200) and a Sub ($100 down from $200)
They have their black friday sale running all through the next 2 weeks.
I'm going to pick up the center channel speaker and 2 book shelf speakers to hang on the walls and have a 5.1 surround set up. I'm debating on if should go ahead and get 4 book shelf speakers to complete the 7.1 surround. The wall I would put the 6th and 7th speaker is what makes it debatable for me. The way the living room is I'm not 100% sure if it'll work the way I want it to, but we'll see.
Edit: I thought the black friday sale was the entire week but I checked this morning and the prices are back to normal. Maybe they were doing a preview period and then the prices will return on black friday? We'll see. If the prices don't go back down I'll still get the additional speakers. A shame though because the boxes were huge and I figured I'll just get these and come back another day to finish off the set. They sound great though.

Too much to snap photos of in the last couple weeks.
Got the old lady a Pixel Book and Pixel Pen.
I got a Pixel XL 2, CoD WW2, SNES Classic (for the kids but don't tell them it's really for me
).
Got the pre-order of 2 pairs of Pixel ear buds coming and a Google Home mini for buying the XL 2 arriving within the next week or so.

I've got my ear buds on pre order but canceled my pixel book order as I was hearing bad previews/reviews what's your opinion?

It isn't functional enough for me. I need a machine I can run VMs and have access to different environments. For my wife though, it works out well for her because she's primarily a web surfer and can utilize a handful of Android apps she uses regularly. Plus she uses it for remoting into work if shes working from home. My biggest issue with it is the price point. It's a very well put together machine and feels and responds great but doesn't feel like it should have been $1K. Hers technically ran us $1200 because she went with the i5 256Gb drive.
I can say that shes in position spec wise for several future ChromeOS updates to make it more worth the initial investment. But if you're a power user, get something else.

Yeah pretty much what everybody else is saying glad I canceled my order. I initially wanted it to make notes on pdf's with the pen. But then I saw the MKBHD video where he was having to press down hard with it and that was the last straw
