CrunchDeals: Memorex Blu-ray Player on Woot

Quick. Hurry! FAST! Woot has a hella good deal today on a Memorex Blu-ray player but it will only be available ’till the end of the day or it sells out. Best of all, you don’t have to wait in Black Friday lines to get a Blu-ray player under the $150 mark. True, this player is a Profile 1.1 player and therefore cannot do any of the fancy BD Live features but still, it’s not a bad deal at $139. Could be a good gift for ‘ol Dad. → Read More

Oooh, that’s a good deal. Woot.com has the 2GB SanDisk Sansa Clip (see our review here) for a paltry $15.99 + $5 shipping.

CrunchDeals: Olens Personal Projector

So this is more of a DIY idea than a CrunchDeals, but it could still go either way. Woot has this medium-size projector up for $179 and while it doesn’t HD, it sure likes mod-friendly and has an VGA port for easy computer hook-up. It measures in at 15″ L x 7″ W x  4″ T making it an almost perfect fit for the top of a computer case. With a little cutting, fabricating, and imagination, this cheap projector could become a hit at your next LAN party when it’s beaming your TF2 game out of the top of your computer case. Just an idea. → Read More

CrunchDeal: Woot pawning Planar 720p projector for $599

Woot has a decent deal this morning. It’s not a scamper and find your wallet type-dealio, but if you’ve been looking for a great, inexpensive home theater projector, you might want to meander over and grab your credit card. Quick note though, this 720p Planar projector only has 900 lumens, so you better have a dark room as it isn’t bright enough to counter ambient light. And yes, it isn’t 1080p, but still great for the price. Still a nice projector from a highly respected manufacturer and it carried a MSRP of $3999 – back in ’06. Oh, and sellout.woot.com has the making screen for $399, not bad either.  → Read More

Woot today: Razer Barracuda AC-1 sound card, $55 shipped

Looking to break free of Creative’s SoundBlaster yoke? There are other companies making sound cards, you know, and although I haven’t tested out Razer’s offering, I’m confident that it’s capable of delivering a perfectly decent sound experience. It’s got support for all the DTS and Dolby-type things you like, 24-bit output and good signal processing. For $50 I’d say this is a pretty good deal, since it retails for more than twice that. → Read More

Guess what Merriam-Webster's word of the year is?

Merriam-Webster has named "w00t" the word of the year for 2007. W00t! President John Morse says that it’s the "ideal choice because it blends whimsy and new technology." "It shows a really interesting thing that’s going on in language. It’s a term that’s arrived only because we’re now communicating electronically with each other," he said. Allan Metcalf of the American Dialect Society isn’t too fired up about it. "It’s amusing, but it’s limited to a small community and unlikely to spread and unlikely to last." That’s a ridiculous thing to say, said by a silly man who thinks that all of us l33t hax0rs around the world only make up a "small community".

InFocus launches Play Big IN1 gaming projector on Woot

Forget about LCD and plasma big screens. Projectors are the way to go. Especially when you’re tight on space. Who wants to play Halo 3 or any game on a small ass 42- or 50-inch screen when you can play on something over 100-inches? Well, InFocus has announced the Play Big IN1 Gaming projector, which features multiple S-video, component and composite inputs for DVD players and consoles. While I wouldn’t trust the audio on this alone for gaming purposes, it’s nice to have it. The IN1 is equipped with DLP technology and is available now on Woot for $499.99. Press Release → Read More

Looks like Woot is selling the brown 30GB Zune for $79.99 + $5 shipping. If an $85 price tag isn’t a big enough incentive for someone to buy a Zune, then I don’t know what is. Maybe free Paul Oakenfold tickets with every purchase? → Read More
