You can get a half a terabyte Seagate external hard drive for only $89 and when you throw in shipping, for less than a bill. Come on, that’s not bad. Ships from BuyNow Incorporated through Amazon, but the company is rock’n five stars with 12,803 ratings. Not too shabby at all. → Read More
Looking for a compact, but still loaded, HTPC? HP is offering $400 of a $999 s3500T series system (coupon code DT1158), allowing you to configure one nice system and seeing the price drop nearly in half. Starting with the base configuration, I selected Vista Home Premium 64-bit (!), the Intel E4700 processor, 4GB of RAM, the 256MB Nvidia video card with HDMI, and the Blu-ray player. To inch the… → Read More
Ah, the end of the of the (physical) format wars. Now you can purchase away without fear of your movies quickly fading into obsolescence. Amazon is running a 45% off sale, (except for a few stragglers at 43%) on eight selected Warner Home Video titles. And no, they’re not all crap. That is unless you consider GoodFellas to be crap. And if that’s the case… go away. Amazon.com via High-Def… → Read More
It’s a pity that not everyone can get Verizon’s FiOS but for those in the service area, now might be a good time to look at the service. New customers can score either a free year of a HD DVR or HD Home Media DVR. Current subscribers can upgrade and get a free month of HBO and Cinemax; sucks that current customers always get shafted. The offer is good through October 4. Sounds like a… → Read More
Ah, plummeting technology prices. Time was, you couldn’t get a 24-inch monitor for under $800. Now you can grab one for just under $250. Sure, it’s a Soyo, but has Soyo ever done you wrong? If not, why not give Soyo a chance? Here’s what you get if you were to walk into Office Max and buy this monitor: 24" Widescreen SXGA TFT LCD Display 1920 x 1200 Native Screen Resolution 1000:1… → Read More
Buy.com has the refurbished 20GB Xbox 360 for a mere $200 (free shipping too). It’s the non-HDMI version, so keep that in mind. But if you’re looking to get into an Xbox 360 on the cheap, this appears to be a pretty good deal. Microsoft Xbox 360 Premium System – Recertified [Buy.com via dealnews] → Read More
Remember high-definition radio? It’s still around. If you want to experience high-definition radio, now’s your chance. The iLuv i68 HD Radio with Dual Alarm Clock can be yours for only $39.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate. If you’ve never heard of HD Radio, you’re not alone. And if you think that there’s nothing good on regular radio nowadays, you won’t like HD Radio because it’s still… → Read More
More laptop deals this weekend, as Office Depot has the 15.4-inch HP Pavilion dv6910us for $529.99 after two mail-in rebates totalling $170. Specs look good: AMD Turion processor (64-bit, dual-core), 3GB of RAM, 200GB hard drive, double-layer DVD burner with LightScribe, Bluetooth, wireless, 5-in-1 card reader, and Vista Home Premium. The notebook weighs just over six pounds, which I suppose… → Read More
Circuit City has a 15.4-inch Acer Extensa laptop for $399.99 with no rebate-like strings attached. It’s a Circuit City Outlet item, so supplies might be a tad limited. Specs look pretty nice: Dual-core Intel processor, 120GB hard drive, 1GB RAM, DVD burner, and Vista Home Premium. I’d upgrade the RAM right away but other than that, it looks like it’s good to go. Again, it’s an… → Read More
Looking to get into the GPS game for under a hundred bucks? Newegg has the Initial GM-351 GPS system with 3.5-inch touchscreen for just shy of $80. Why so cheap? Well, apparently the maps are from a few years ago and they’re not currently updateable. That might just be a deal breaker for some people. However, if you live in an area of the country that fears change, especially as it pertains to… → Read More
Sometimes I like to take a break from the cutthroat world of technology reporting to immerse myself in the moving and imaginative stories of a group of men and women from a simpler time of cutthroat…well…throat cutting, as it turns out. I’ve you’ve never seen HBO’s Deadwood and you happen to be looking for a way to spend ninety bucks, you wouldn’t be disappointed to own the entire… → Read More
Amazon.com has the LG Shine for -$50 after rebate. AT&T itself sells it for $99 after rebate. The Amazon rebate is fifty bucks, so the phone sells for a penny out of pocket. You have to be a new AT&T customer and sign a two-year agreement, of course, but if you’re looking for a new phone, this appears to be a pretty good deal. The phone isn’t new by any means, but it still has a decent… → Read More
If you’ve got a PlayStation 2 and you’ve been waiting to pull the trigger on Rock Band, then I can safely tell you to pull, dammit! Pull! Amazon.com has the PS2 Rock Band Special Edition bundle for $99.99, which includes free shipping. This same bundle sells for at least $140 just about everywhere else. Again, pull! via dealnews → Read More
Newegg.com has the Westinghouse L2610NW-SP for $459.99, plus a $50 mail-in rebate, which brings the price down to $409.99. Shipping’s almost $20, but this is still a pretty good deal for such a big monitor. Specs include a 25.5-inch viewing area, 1920×1200 resolution, 350 cd/m2 brightness, VGA and HDMI inputs, and 3-watt built-in speakers. Westinghouse L2610NW-SP [Newegg.com] via… → Read More
Got a first generation iPod Nano? Wanna look like the coolest kid this side of the Rio Grande? Then plunk down $10.59 for the ultimate head-mounted music system that is the Macally mTune-N. Just snap your Nano into the left ear cup and rock this town. In fact, rock it inside out. The town, not the headphones. Buy.com has the Macally getup for $10.59 with free shipping. Not bad, not bad at all. → Read More
I’ll be honest with you. If I hadn’t gotten rid of my car late last year, I’d be tempted to pick one of these up myself. There are plenty of cheap GPS units out there but to be able to grab a TomTom unit for under $100 seems to be a pretty sweet deal. The unit is refurbished, yes, but you’ll get the same warranty as if it were new (one year, I believe) and you can extend it… → Read More
With so many headphone choices out there, I generally look for ones that have been deeply discounted from a starting price of over $100. It’s a crude method, I know, but the time I save headphone shopping can be spent doing things I enjoy more, like not running and not volunteering. If you’re looking for a pair of deeply discounted over-the-ear headphones that appear to be somewhat… → Read More
Time for a new phone? Howsabout the Samsung UpStage? It’s not the newest kid on the block, but it has two screens, plays music, and it’s pretty small. Here’s a video review by our own John Biggs from about a year ago. He seems unusually upbeat, which is a good sign. Here’s a quote, “How do I like it? I’ve been using it a little bit.” Anyhoo, LetsTalk.com… → Read More
Amazon’s got a Gold Box deal on the Wii version of ‘Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock’ for the next two hours or so.

Every Day. → Read More
Remember FlipStart? The brickey, Paul Allen-funded “super compact PC with the form factor that’s proven to work for mobile professionals” that some people thought might never come out before it finally launched last March? The price just got karate-chopped from $1,499 down to $699, making it a relatively affordable option for those of you looking for a really tiny computer. One… → Read More
Office Depot has the 2GB Toshiba Gigabeat MEU202 with 1.1-inch OLED display and FM tuner for $59.99 with free shipping. Battery life lasts up to 20 hours and can be charged via mini USB cable.

Toshiba Gigabeat® MEU202-BK… → Read More
Looking to see what all the hubbub’s about? You can pick up Halo 3 from Newegg.com for $39.99, which includes free 3-day shipping. Not bad. Not bad at all. It’s the "Collector Edition", too, so you’ll get a bonus video disc, a metal disc case, and a little book with some more nerdly information about the game. It’s normally going for around $60 elsewhere, so… → Read More
The last thing I want to do is tell you how to run your life, so I’m just saying this for your reference. I’m not trying to be a nag or tell you what to do but Toys backwards-R Us has a deal going on right now that allows you to purchase three video games and then take home a fourth one for free. I just wanted you to know that. You’re by no means under any obligation to buy… → Read More
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Acer monitors? Best bang for the buck, in my humble opinion. Please note that I’m not saying Acer monitors are the best monitors ever invented in the history of personal computing. I’m saying that, for the price, they’re generally a very, very good value. This 22-incher is $199.99 at Newegg.com, which includes free 3-day… → Read More

Office Depot has a very swank-looking $300 office chair with a $100 instant discount and another 35% off with coupon code 85088692 at checkout, bringing it to just under $130 plus tax with free shipping. It’s made from "soft, supple leather". How can you resist? Everyone loves supple. Alas, it’s only designed for 3-5 hours of use per day, which makes me wonder how much the… → Read More
Holy crap, this is a big one. Best Buy has the HD-capable Kodak EasyShare V1253 camera with a $50 price break, a free 1GB memory card, a free AC adapter, and free shipping for $229.99. Even I couldn’t pass this one up, so I broke out my little yellow Best Buy card and am now anxiously waiting for this to arrive. You may remember this camera from yesterday, as it’s part of our Holiday… → Read More
Is it just me or has Linens ‘n Things really been getting aggressive with gadgets and whatnot? I mean aggressive in a good way, too. Take this "full size" Konami arcade game, for instance. Why not forgo the car payment this month and pick this thing up instead? I put "full size" in quotes because the cabinet stands at just over five feet tall and the size of that screen… → Read More
Once retailing for around $300, the Video-55 LCD iPod Video Player from Sonic Impact can be yours for a mere $60 with coupon code. You dock your iPod into the player and it functions as an external speaker and video player, allowing you to watch your iPod’s videos on the 7-inch LCD screen instead. It’s stated to work with any 30-pin interface iPod but is marketed specifically towards… → Read More
