    quake 4 $15 @ bestbuy

    From what I've heard, multiplayer seems to have improved a little bit. I bought in on the dell deal for $20 Q4 DVD edition last month so I started playing late july after the patch came out. It's still a bit too laggy for my taste. I was at the top of the server ladder in instagib for about...

    Far Cry for PC $9.82 at wal-mart

    Yes, the game is great. Graphics are still look good. I'm still playing it... granted I started playing it a month ago. I saw it at Walmart last week at the Monrovia, CA store when I was looking for the PS2 cam. No cams on sale but I did see two copies of FarCry in a bare double-cd case.

    Buy candy corn and win a $500 Target gift card

    LOL, my thoughts exactly, I always forget why I don't eat candy corn. I try it year after year... magically expecting it to taste good. Must be something about the bright colors. Maybe it's time to stock up early for Halloween and maybe win a shopping spree while I'm at it.

    FREE Acidolphous Perls

    Interesting... I don't know how long the shelf-life is for this. I know our local health food stores have live cultures but they're mostly refrigerated. Live cultures tend to die pretty quickly. I've made my own yogurt using live kefir balls. The balls can do their work in room temperature...

    PS2 EYE TOY Cameras YMMV $11 with Play game or $20 with Play 2 Game.

    I checked the Walmart in Monrovia last night. They only have Kinetic and Play 2 and both are still ~$50. Not clearanced.

    **DEAD** Amazon big price mistake on silk quilt. should be $299 is $29!

    I just got back from Shanghai. I got a Choyers queen size 100% silk medium fill for about $70US. The prices are most probably higher here in US but that's the base price that the factory store sells. King size silk medium fill was about $80. Both came with a very rough gauze-like cotton liner...

    Refurbished IBM ThinkPad R40 $699.88

    J&R is one of the few reputable New York City electronics retailers that I'd buy from. I've had nothing but good experiences and their reseller rating scores reflect that.

    Inexpensive GQ Notebook at Fry's online only

    I'm not sure if this GQ is the same company as the battery maker named GQ. But GQ batteries are actually not too shabby. I've had 4 NiMH 1600mAh AA's running strong for a few years even after dropping them a few times onto a hardwood floor. That being said, I don't think laptops are their strong...

    hawking 6 DB antenna for wireless networks 9.99 AR free Shipping

    I bought this same exact antenna for my gf and I've got to say I'm impressed. I've got it hooked up to a Netgear WG311 802.11g card and it even picks up her next door neighbor's signal. I just unscrewed the original antenna and screwed in this one. Signal strength is best if you keep things on...

    NEED Kingston 512MB SD Card Rebate Form 9/17

    You'll need to login to your account and view the receipt for that order. There is usually a link in your receipt for any rebates attached to that purchase. I was missing a rebate and found it that way.
