Predictions

[Clarinot]

Since we got rid of bandbucks, the staff at TxBands still thought it would be cool to have some kind of rewards for correct predictions.

 

Here's what we decided to do:

You predict like normal in the predictions section. We keep track of how many places you got right. This happens each time the scores of an event are entered. After the last competition of the season has taken place (presumably Grand Nationals) we'll calculate who had the most correct predictions, and they'll be the 2005 winner of TxB Predictions and they'll get a prize.

 

We want to know what kind of giftcard the winner(s) should get. (There may also be something for the next couple runners up)

Vote in the poll and post your comments here.

I would just say Amazon.com, because we can practically order anything we'd like on there, for good prices. Besides, where else can you find all the classics such as the planets that are as rare as a million dollar bill in many stores. Also, you don't have to get out of your chair to go and walk around, so that's good. As a second option, best buy would be the next best thing, because they have a fair deal of albums and songs, as well as equipment that enables us to enjoy those songs to full capacity.

Yeah, but Amazon can't beat the P2P prices (which I am not endorsing in any way, nor do I participate in these activities, ok lawyers? )

 

My vote is on iTunes, because I would rather buy music than (above).

[LordGiggles]

Alot of people don't use Itunes or are not familiar with the system, though it's still more convinient then amazon, i think most people have used amazon before and it will work best.

 

And if Amazon isn't better then P2P, than what is the point of ITunes, or even offering anything dealing with buying music the Legit way.

Shoot, I second that!!

[LordGiggles]

How about to make everybody, we simply offer a giftcard to anyplace they desire. Then, they are just recieving cash for a place they want to spend their money on, but it is in a convenient and lovely looking gift. Everyone wins this way.

It's not cash, but it's the best alternative.

[LordGiggles]

Yeah, afterall giftcards can be reused and what not, more money can be put on it. It's more convenient for the recipient anyhow.

[Will_Doohit]

I'm fairly certain I'm out of any runnings to win predictions since I live in South Carolina. But I still voted for BestBuy gift cards cause Best Buy rocks. iTunes gift cards would also be excellent.

yeah..best buy is freakin awesome isnt it...

[LordGiggles]

If any of you guys live next to a Fry's electronics store, they usually have better prices than best buy.

i dont think we have those here....

[LordGiggles]

Many of them don't exist, the only two that i know of are one in the Austin region, and one somewhere in California.

[CHS King Mello]

that's cause south carolina sucks

[Skippy]

There's 2 Fry's in my general area in Houston/SugarLand.

 

I can't believe I still haven't been in one.

[Dynasty]

Well, I bought my computer parts from Newegg.com and I saved over 700 bucks versus buying the parts retail... They make Fry's look expensive.

 

And for all those CD players and stuff, well, theres Amazon.com.

 

Dynasty *hearts* internet.

[LordGiggles]

Yeah, online usually gives you the cheapest prices, but when comparing Best Buy with Fry's, Fry's usually has a better buy from what I see.

[Clarinot]

Ok, looks like bestbuy wins......

 

We'll keep track of the overall highest predictors (1 point for each correct placement)

 

The winner will get $15 to any one of the places above (their pick)

and 2nd/3rd place will get $10/$5 (depending on txb budget ) to their pick of the stores above

Speaking of Fry's... did you know every store has a differnt theme.. like the one in Dallas is longhorns cattle and ranch stuff... others all around are different... like in Houston its oil stuff... thats the coolt hing

[mbui]

The other Fry's store in the Houston area is a NASA/space theme.

[Dynasty]

Austin is music.... The Sign outside looks like a giant piano, and they have a piano inside that plays itself. Then there are all the photos on the walls of famous singers and giant neon music notes.

[manuel_pablo]

I love Fry's. I go to the Oil themed one in Houston.
