Makerbot’s Thing-O-Matic is pretty pricey – $1,299 for the kit and $2,500 for the assembled kit – but (and this is my professional opinion) it is amazing and everyone in the world should own one. That said, Fab.com has a special deal on Thing-O-Matics this week – $999 for the kit and $2,000 for the assembled device – one of the first and biggest discounts ever on the entire system. → Read More
Last time I posted this deal, BC2 was on Impulse, and my colleagues were earnestly recommending it to me. Now, I’m earnestly recommending it to you. There’s lots of good stuff being sold at the Steam Summer Camp Sale, but this one’s at Amazon and totally worth every penny. Solid single-player, awesome multiplayer, just a fantastic game. Add to cart. → Read More
Steam’s big Summer Camp Sale starts today! Not that you can buy anything right now, since the store is buckling under the weight of the traffic. Reddit user Remmib has put together a nice little listing of most of the deals here, but you might want to wait an hour or two before trying to get in there. Some standouts: Valve Complete Pack (Portal 2 included) for $50, Borderlands for $5, a great id pack for $30, and the Rockstar Collection for $40. Ah, Summer! → Read More
John riled up the Internet the other day by stating buying Archos’ latest, low-cost tablet is like buying cut-rate toilet paper. I get that and fully agree. Howover, some people have more of a tolerance for crapgadgets than others and if that’s you, head over to Woot and snag this $80 7-inch Android tablet. It’s 2010′s model running on Android 1.6 but comes with a modest 8GB of memory and plenty of video codex support. $80 and it’s yours. → Read More
Want to contribute to making the 360 the best selling console of all time? Amazon has a might fine deal going on. When you purchase the $299 Xbox 360 4GB Kinect bundle, they’re throw in a $100 credit within two days of purchase. Use this credit for, I don’t know, Kinectimals, Michael Jackson The Experience, or pre-order Mass Effect 3 since it will utilize the Kinect’s voice recognition capabilities. Yeah, do that last one. → Read More
This is a great deal for a solid point-and-shoot — the Powershot SD1300 IS was $200 a year ago when it came out, but if you’re near a Radio Shack, you can drop by and pick one up for only $70 — if they have one. I’d call ahead. With 12 megapixels, a 4x zoom, and a 2.7-inch screen, it’s not breaking any records, but you can trust it to take decent pictures (or make a great gift). [via PetaPixel] → Read More
I’ll keep this short. We reviewed Worms 2 Armageddon for the iPad a while back and found it a worthy title in the series, worth the $5 price of admission. And now that you can get it for 99 cents, that recommendation is even easier to give. Head over to the iTunes Store to pick it up. → Read More
Do you need some freaking cable? Yeah you do, you know it! Where do you get it? Duh? Like the cable store! Like the cable store called CableSupply. So these dudes, in order to form a more perfect cable experience, are offering free shipping on orders of $99 or more. Bang. You’re like “Cables? Where do I go for cables?” and they’re like “Durrrrr… Here!” → Read More
Wow. Woot has a ringer today in a refurbished 3G Kindle. $90 will net buyers the previous generation Kindle, but at least the more pricey 3G wireless model. Even though this is a 2nd gen unit, and Amazon is currently about nine months into the 3rd generation’s life, you’re really not losing all that much. This is a deal, friends. → Read More
Who’s going to Threadless’s Camp Wannatee? I am! $12 tees for everyone! But don’t buy the shirt above. That one is mine and I would be oh-so-embarrassed if you and I attended the same dive bar with the same ironic tee on. So yes, let’s just agree right here and now that I’m the only one buy the shirt above. Let me suggest either this one or this one instead. → Read More
A new site incubated by our own Roi Carthy is offering 40% off the 500GB ioSafe hard drive. The drive is crush, dust, shock, and water resistant and they even got Fake Grimlock to write the description. You can learn more about the drive here and pick it up for .35 cents per gigabyte. → Read More
The Velocity Micro Cruz 7-inch tablet is no iPad killer, but it’s only $80 on Woot today. The 7-inch 4:3 screen should display all the wonders of Android 2.0 wonderfully. Sure, there isn’t a lot to love about this little tab, but once again, it’s only $80. It doesn’t have access to Android Market and doesn’t come with Google Apps. You know it’s only $80, right? The 4GB internal storage isn’t anything to brag to your buddies, but, as I’ve said a few times now, it’s only $80 so it’s not like you’re buying an $800 Xoom. → Read More
Headed off to the beach? Don’t forget your big, black bulky watch! MWave has a few special deals on Casio digital watches with atomic timekeeping functions and high-test cases. They range from $50 to $70 and one even has analog hands for that classic look. → Read More
This is a rock solid deal for a rock solid media player. I can’t recommend the Zune enough for music listeners. It’s a gorgeous device with a great UI and no dependency on iTunes. This Buy.com deal nets you a 64GB Zune HD for only $219. That’s nearly half the price of a 64GB iPod touch. Once again, the Zune HD is for those looking to listen to music or watch the occasional video; it can’t compete with the iPod touch with apps. The Zune HD doesn’t have cameras or a high-powered graphics chip. It can’t play Words With Friends or Angry Birds but that’s probably just fine for those that just want to listen to some tunes on the train to work. → Read More
Sure, everyone’s talking about Honeycomb (well, some people are), but if you just want a little hackable tablet on which to do whatever it is you do with a 7″ tablet, this Archos 7 is going for a bargain-bin price right now. It was $200 at launch last year, but as you can imagine, there is a bit of stock left over, and it’s available on eBay for $125 with free shipping. It’s from TigerDirect, but cheaper than they have on their own site. Need something to use as a second screen, Twitter/RSS device, or home media controller? This thing might suit you.

B&N officially made the Nook Color the best iPad alternative tablet last week with the addition of email, calander, and apps. It was already a fan favorite with those features and more, but only by way of a healthy dose of modding. Now anyone can buy the Nook Color and most of the features modders have been enjoying for months. If you’re going to buy it, why not snag it from Best Buy this week? They’re throwing in a bonus $25 gift card, which could cover the cost of a case or microSD card. → Read More
Hello Muddah! Hello Faddah! Here I am at Amazonia. Buying Kindles.
For a limited time if you buy a Kindle 3G/WiFi for $189 (or a DX, but Mom doesn’t need one of those) you get a $25 gift card for Mom to use on Nicholas Sparks books. → Read More
