    To hell with a tiny 60" tv, try up to 300" for $399!

    $200 for a replacement bulb?!?! That almost makes this $400 720p refurb a disposable projector.

    Flying Alarm Clock - $15.95

    My wife bought me the one from ThinkGeek a couple Christmases back. It had an AC adaptor receptacle. This past Christmas, I bought all three kids their own from Dollar General for $5. No AC receptacle, but otherwise identical. A receptacle is a couple bucks from RatShack.

    Aiptek 720P Camcorder

    At least Aiptek is showing progress. Their previous "camcorders" in this form factor had no optical zoom. The similarity to my Xacti caused folks to think mine was an Aiptek $79 POS. I love my Xacti, except its dismal low-light capabilities.

    DEAD. 37" LCD $547 Frys.com

    Plasma hits that contrast, but 1600:1 is decent for LCD.

    Toshiba HDA2 HD DVD player, $299, HHGregg B&M, 18Apr only

    I received an e-mail from HHGregg with an "employee family pricing" sale notice. Unless they found a batch of old stock A1s, the only HD DVD player possible is the A2. (A20 is significantly higher) Cheapest I've seen is around $350 shipped. If you have an HHGregg near you and are looking...

    Firefly Complete Box set with Serenity the movie for 34.98 FreeShipping @ Amazon

    Serenity was the first movie I (re)watched after getting a widescreen LCD. Firefly was the best sci-fi series. Ever. One would have hoped Sci-Fi would have picked it up, but alas...

    The Seagate 5 year warranty ought to help your decision in one direction versus another.

    Wal-Mart offering free shipping to local stores for orders placed online

    Bad example. In later surfing, I found the same LCD was $900 at OD. But there are other examples, I promise!

    The reasons why I LOVE IT!!!! (Minus the ice. All snow for me, thanks.)

    Wal-Mart offering free shipping to local stores for orders placed online

    This helps tremendously with the many electronic items previously only available for shipping to the Texas store. (San Antonio or Dallas; I don't remember which.) For example.... $1100 for 37" 1080P LCD is nothing to sneeze at, Akai or not.

    Circuit City closing 69 stores, clearance sales Wednesday

    Americans couldn't get so lucky. Most CC stores are too small for Fry's to fit in.

    Circuit City closing 69 stores, clearance sales Wednesday

    Ditto. Weighing against CC, they've screwed me too many times. (And I expect I'll get screwed on my acer 22" LCD rebate, also.)
