Mass Effect 2: $45 Xbox 360, $35 PC @ Amazon

No, but: 1) The first game is fantastic and adds a lot of significance to the second game. 2) The first game is really cheap these days, and its a bargain. 3) There is a save game import feature from ME1 to ME2, that affects a dozen or so MAJOR MAJOR plot points, and a few hundred...

everex gTV , mac mini clone $220 - 8.2%

This is one of the only "Mac-Mini" like products I've seen that's similar in both spec and size, although I prefer my mini, being a machead. It's a slower processor, and no wireless options, but it is otherwise not bad. It's even got a card reader on the front if you're into that sort of thing.

Live Arcade Deal of the Week - Ikaruga for 400 MS Points ($5)

Tempting, but I have it for GC. Does the XBLA version support vertical mounting your display? I'm far too lazy to actually do that most of the time, but it'd be awesome to try once.

Dell S2409W 24" 1080p Wide Screen Flat Panel Monitor $185 + tax shipped

I find that any modern LCD display, and the LED backlit displays are all bright enough (when set to their highest brightness) to burn your retinas clear out of your head.

Gamestop Guitar Hero & Rock Band Blowout Sale

There's "no fail" mode, and there's "free play" mode. They're different but both allow you to bang as much as you want without failing. Expert mode is NEARLY 1 to 1 on most songs already, and all RB songs have solo fills where you hit whatever you want for 1-2 measures. There is an...

Staples / case of coke diet or sprit for 5 bucks!

I stopped buying coke, but a few times a year, the local Safeway will do a "Buy 2, Get 3 Free" for 12 packs of coke cans. I think that works out to $10 for 5 12 packs, or a little under $.20 a can.

HOT: Novaform Infinite mattresses at Costco up to $460 off

To its defense, it is like the best air mattress ever made. But otherwise, I agree. I slept on a select comfort for a few days when I was staying at a friend's house (they had upgraded to a tempurpedic). I didn't see the appeal, but I know some people really like them.
