Any survivors out there? Well, if you can still type with broken fingers and crushed spirits, feel free to use your office's precious bandwidth to scout out a few really good deals still in effect on the internet.
First and foremost, Circuit City is offering a 10% discount on any and all purchases over $249, but for in-store pickups only. Hope that's not a reflection on their normal shipping charges. PayPal is also giving you 20% cash back if you do business with any of their PayPal-friendly etailers, like Overstock.com, Ritz Camera, Toys R Us and HP.
Wal-Mart's extended its evil Cyber Monday deals through the whole week, and there are several choice items up for nicely discounted grabs. Our favorites: a TomTom One GPS Bundle for $162, an HP 7 MP digital camera with printer and 1 GB memory card for $188, and a super-special Xbox 360 Premium package with two games bundled and a third for free (you choose from a list that includes Game Of the Year contenders Halo 3, Mass Effect, and Bioshock), a messenger bag, and an extra wireless controller, all for $399. The Xbox is a today-only deal.
Best Buy's advertising a sale on all their Apple iPods, but really, it's pretty weak stuff. Your iPod Nano sale price: ten bucks off. Your iPod Touch sale price: fifteen bucks off. Your iPod Shuffle sale price: four bucks off. Rah. We're much more excited about their $100 off TomTom GPS sale, which drops the price of the TomTom One even below Wal-Mart's, only it applies to every TomTom model.
And then there's us: you can get a three-year SquareTrade warranty on all this stuff for 20-35% Off its normal price (which is already about 40% less than Circuit City or Best Buy's warranties), even if you add extra years of protection or Accidental Damage coverage.
Stay strong, folks. It's not even December yet. Just wait until you have to go find a tree.
iPod warranty, holiday savings
