    D-Link DGL4300 GamerLounge Wireless Router $80 +shipping

    I just bought one of these from NewEgg for $110 and it's going back this weekend now. However, I don't know if I'll be buying a new one. Can anyone here who has used this with an XBOX 360 attest to the performance? I've been in firmware hell this week because of this stupid router. I've...

    Xbox 360 Premium Holiday Bundle w/HDMI $334.99 shipped buy.com

    I hate to rain on your parade, but you have that date misinterpreted. The release date for the holiday bundles was 10/8/2007, and has nothing to do with the console inside the box. My roommate and I both have holiday bundle Xbox's. Mine is a Falcon, his is not. That is not any guarantee of...

    Xbox 360 Premium Holiday Bundle w/HDMI $334.99 shipped buy.com

    I can confirm how to determine if it's the Falcon motherboard and 65nm core, but there's absolutely no way to tell if it is prior to ordering it. You can find more info by searching for these numbers, but I've spent a particularly large amount of time gathering this information when I...

    **DEAD** Halo Special Edition Xbox 360 for $383 shipped @ Amazon (confirmed to have the Falcon chipset)

    I was pretty hot and bothered about the Falcon stuff coming out, however, there's still a major bummer about it . . . While the CPU does in fact run cooler and consume a lot less power, the GPU, which is the real instigator of the RRoD, still remains at 90nm with what most PC builders would...

    $3.99 dvds

    This is a good deal, I went there today and got the Bourne Supremacy, Good Will Hunting, Anger Management, As Good As It Gets, and Enemy At The Gates. They were out of Catch Me If You Can and The Bourne Identity unfortunately.

    *Dead*OCZ 2GB DDR2 PC2-6400 DUAL CHANNEL KIT $60AR

    For what it's worth, from the egg: "Cons: i did't realize this was Vista only memory. DO NOT try this memory in a computer with windows xp. this memory causes xp to crash." I don't know how true that is, perhaps the guy doesn't know WTF he's doing (or has an old bios), but it does say...

    How low can it go. 2GB Crucial Ballistix 800Mhz DDR2 6400 $99.99AR

    Yeah, that's been tripping me out too. I was considering buying this ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220144 for a DS3, and it's timing is 444, but there's several comments I remember reading that said it works great with the DS3. Weird . . . Here's some...

    Acer AL2223WD 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor $259.99 or $198.00 with coupon

    That'll get you dirty looks at an internet cafe or arrested if you do it at the corporate office. I suggest only doing that in the privacy of your own home, and I doubt they'll send you coupons for doing so.

    DEAD - Wii Bundle @ CircuitCity.com

    I can't believe it but I bit on this one. I never EVER make impulse buys like this, especially not $383 ones, but I've wanted a Wii so damn bad I decided to. Guess I have a week with ground shipping to be crushed by the despressing realization of buyer's remorse and return it upon arrival if I...

    2007 Saturn Vue 0% APR for 60 months

    Eh, I'm sure this is an error, but I'm not sure in what sense 1) It's Saturn, not Subaru 2) Having a V6 and AWD doesn't put this in the same class as a WRX 3) It's an SUV I was going to suggest checking out Saab since they used to offer what people called the "Saabaru" since it used the...

    Logitech MX Revolution $59.99 AR - Amazon

    Alright wise guys, I bought ONE at $67.59 and have a mini review on my feelings about it thus far. The design of it is intelligent: the little cusp on the left side makes for nice thumb support, the curvature seems natural on the hand, and the construction feels sturdy. My biggest...

    If you consider ordering online a "No Hassle" process. :P This is still a good deal if you want to buy in store (or have relatives afraid of ordering stuff on their "modem" which is actually their PC). Personally, if I can get something in store for very close to the same price I can get it...

    And server is busy again. This is uncharacteristically bad for them. I've watched every woot off from start to finish for the last year and a half and it's been a long time since I've seen them tank this bad. I think they're having some major hardware problems. Might be a short lived woot...
