Amazon.com Nyko Wii Charge station $20

The monoprice product uses USB for power. That's a bit more convenient to attach to your Wii, but I believe it charges more slowly. The Nyko uses regular household A-C and should charge more quickly (?)

Discovery stores closing

I was in the White Plains store last week and thought this was just a local event. The Discovery Store in SF closed years ago due to poor sales. Even at 40% off, much of their stuff seemed overpriced. The only deal for me was some Crazy Creek inflatable stadium seats that were marked down...

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

The list price on the Firefly tv series has dropped to about $30, so $20 is a good but not great price. The list price on Serenity has also dropped, but I can't recall to what level. I believe that it goes on sale at CC or BB regularly for $15 or less. I may buy the TV series as a gift to a...

Epson R200 / R300 ... epson compatible print cartridges

I picked up on this deal last year and have not had any problems with the inks. I've used this mostly to print labels on dvds for the kids--school, sports, the dreaded annual (xmas) brag letter, etc. It amazes me how much of the color ink seems to be wasted in keeping the printer nozzles...

Official Black Friday Listings up on Bestbuy.com

When I click on the "See our Thanksgiving Ad" link, it just sends me to their standard holiday catalogs--not the Friday ad. So maybe two of us can't figure it out, or maybe the ad is not officially up on their site.

If you wanted to buy two seasons, Costco had an $18 off coupon for either the Next Generation or Deep Space Nine series, which are marked at $45 per season. So the net price (after tax) might be a little cheaper for some.

Energy Take 5.2 surround sound speakers -- $229 shipped

I bought this system (including an 8" subwoofer) for around $300 earlier this year direct from the manufacturer. I use it just for the home theater setup and like it. I think that it would suit most people, but some people are more discriminating about speaker sound than others.

Canon Powershot A60 Factory Renewed $99

I have not printed up any large (8"X10") photos, so I can't say much about the quality difference between this and a 3 mp camera (e.g., the A75). The camera review sites have reviewed the A60 favorably even though it is only 2 mp.
