    Xbox One Kinect Version with or without Forza $429 at Sam's YMMV

    Ran by Sam's at lunch and noticed they were offering a $70 discount on both the original Xbone and the original Forza bundle. You can check local inventory on the website, but you have to go all the way to checkout to see the price drop.

    Still alive: Microsoft Office Professional 2013 - $9.95 through Microsoft HUP.

    My work domain was not being accepted last week, but today it went through immediately, so you might want to try again if you were turned down originally.

    Cards against Humanity name-your-price Xmas expansion pack

    It is definitely fun. The group I play with always pulls some of the cards out if we're playing with someone new until we judge their tolerance for raunch and cruelty, though. But it's not nearly as funny when we do.

    Need some gaming laptop advice

    Already got one to install. I bought it for a new desktop build but decided I'd rather have a laptop because I'm not in my office as much as I am the living room. I appreciate everyone's input. Went with the MSI in the end because the performance was pretty decent for the amount of money I...

    Need some gaming laptop advice

    I'm trying to find a gaming laptop with good performance without spending $2K on it. I've pretty much narrowed it down to two options. They have the same CPU, but the graphics differences are making it difficult for me. MSI G Series GT70 0ND-202US The MSI is $1499 after rebate at Amazon...

    Samsung 830 Price Increase at Newegg?

    Anyone else notice the huge jump in Samsung 830 128GB prices in the last 48 hours at Newegg? Friday they were between $140-$150 with the 15% discount they're currently offering, and now they're almost $100 more. Granted, prices tend to fluctuate on tech items, but the drives haven't gone up...

    Buying a new case, as well, so I'm planning on it.

    ASUS Z77 with eSATA support (or lack thereof)

    I've spent a lot of time looking at those, including the box contents, I/O panels, and the boards themselves. That's why I know about the board that has the USB and eSATA module in the box but that doesn't appear actually to have an onboard connector for the eSATA port on the module.

    ASUS Z77 with eSATA support (or lack thereof)

    I've been waiting patiently to upgrade my heavily OC'd E2160 rig with IB. I'm basically looking for: 2X PCIe 3.0 WiFi Go At least 1 eSATA port At least 1 PCI slot All the standard USB 3.0 ports, SATA 6.0 ports, etc. The problem seems to be that all the ASUS boards below $225 have either...

    Crucial m4 128GB $158 shipped @ buy.com and [dead] Amazon

    I didn't realize the arbiters of legitimacy had shunned buy.com. Perhaps I am just thrice-blessed by the gods, but I purchase from them about as often as from newegg, and I have never had anything but a good experience. They don't charge sales tax in my state, and not everyone has Prime, so I...

    Xbox 360 Arcade + $50 gift card + 2 games - $150 at Walmart/Amazon/Target

    Just FYI, the Walmart store ad from Sunday had the Arcade for $199 with a $50 gift card. As of today, the price has been lowered to $149 and you still get the gift card. When I first had mine scanned, it was still ringing up $199, but I checked with a manager who confirmed that the price had...

    Sansa Clip 8GB

    I was in a local Wal-Mart here in MS last week and saw these on clearance for $25. Of course, YMMV.
