Halo 3 Legendary Edition Preorder -- $130 Shipped

$134 shipped overnight is GREAT (I have Amazon Prime). Considering I had one pre-ordered through ebgames when they were $100, and they duped me and said its now $130, plus overnight shipping, plus tax, for a total around $160 -- $134 is fine :) And I won't even play the game -- its for my...

Taxnet - File Federal Tax Return for FREE.

Huh, get you for state? The annoying part was the nags every so often to upgrade to their Deluxe version for 9.95. Their online federal tool is free to use and includes free e-file. If you're in a state that doesn't file a return, like Florida, you're in excellent shape. I'm in Ohio, so...

Hot: 2 years of viatalk for 199

I've been using ViaTalk for about 8 months -- all seems good. At first, my cordless phones wouldn't ring, but their tech support department changed a setting in my adapter and they started working. The only other problem I had is that every once in a while, my phone service would go out...

Wii @ Circuitcity.com NOW! *DEAD*

Well, I got a Wii on launch day from CircuitCity.com -- I just happened to pop up IE and check their site around 10:00 am. I got lucky I guess. Then today, I decided to check out that XPBargains link (mentioned above) for the Wii tracker and noticed they had a PS3 tracker, so I clicked on it...

XBox 360 - $100 MIR - Micro Center - Columbus, OH only

I already have a 360 that I play games on (err, my son plays on). I decided to go ahead and buy this one to put with my PC for when I start tinkering around with XNA in a few weeks! Plus, with Texas Hold-em coming out, it would be nice to have the spare in case two people in the house...

Micro Center in Columbus has $100 MIR on the 360 Core or Platinum system. They're celebrating the opening of their gaming store. I bought one yesterday and will be mailing in the form. You only need a copy of the receipt and a copy of the UPC.

Best Buy July 13-19

BigWillyStyle: Yes, I have this TDK DVD recorder. It is pretty nice. Truthfully, the only reason I went with it over some of the other dual format drives was for the black face-plate. However, I don't think it has EFM (or something like that) correction -- which is used for copying some...

Series 2 TiVos available at www.tivo.com for $399 (plus membership)

I remember when Replay came out and thinking, "What a joke." Who's going to pay this kind of money for a tape-less VCR. Boy, was I wrong! I picked up a Replay TV (Panasonic 20 hr unit) from Best Buy on clearance for $70.00 one day, and loved it. Then, I decided to get DirecTV and got a Tivo...

To Good To Be True!?!? PS2 (Rumoured) To Drop to $199 on 12/26!!! (Warning: Flames inside!)

I don't know if I would by another Sony DVD device, including the PS2. Do a google search for +"sony" +"C:13", and see the crap about Sony dvd players dropping like flies, including their very high end DVD players and PS2's. Personally, I recently fell victim to the "C:13 No Disk of Death" on...

NOT A HOT DEAL: Credit Card Stolen -- Watch your cc bills

I agree, try not to use a card online if at all possible. It's not the SSL transactions that I am worried about -- its the database that the information gets stored in once you've given your info, and who has access to it at that point. Most computer crime is not from an outside attack, its...

Samsung 150mb - 1280x1024 resolution

Gosharkss, We have several HP Omnibook 6000's that do 1400 x 1050, without a single problem. They have a 15 inch screen. (and its very crisp!) That's why when I saw the specs for the Samsung doing 1280, I assumed it was on the level. However, I can't seem to get my machine to list 65 as a...

Samsung 150mb - 1280x1024 resolution

Does anyone know how to get this monitor into 1280x1024 resolution? I'm using Windows ME, with a Creative Labs Annihilator Pro (DDR) video card. Samsung's site says it will do 1280x1024 @ 65, however, my settings allow me to specify just about any rate except 65 ??? The driver is a shared one...

Samsung 150MB 15" LCD that does 1280x1024

Not a hot deal? I would say that if you could save $70.00 and get free shipping that it would be a hot deal, especially considering the lack of good deals lately -- especially if you were in the market for one of these.
