Edit- I guess I'm slower than Worth.

Thanks for this info. I got a Dell flyer at the office yesterday, and I was wondering if this was going to start up again soon.

I think there starting to do this too much. They don't seem to have many of the "blockbuster" type deals anymore. There are more "meh" deals than ever.

I'll still watch since they probably will have a couple good things, but they do this so much it is almost like they have turned regular sales into Days of Deals to cash in on their popularity (I sense a golden goose being slowly killed)

Bump.

Dlink "N" router for $50 is the most attractive thing today.

ya judging by today’s "deals" I'd have to agree with you... maybe it will get better... but I wouldn't describe today’s deal as a great start...

meh... its not getting much better Bobblehead, they appear to have diluted this sale to the point of why bother... frustrating how when I finally find out about something it turns into crapola... I only first saw days of deals maybe 2 or 3 days of deals ago and now its junk.

The wireless media player seems pretty tempting. Anyone know how well those things actually work?

Thanks for that! The guy who reviewed it on the website had similar sentiments. I'll stay away from that tyvm.

New deals this morning. 1TB drive, some kind of Nokia phone, a durable style 8GB USB flash drive.

Neat, but really- how often have you said to yourself "Dangit- lost another USB drive because it wasn't waterproof/earthquake proof/ bullet proof" verses how many times have you said "I don't always have my USB drive on me because it's to big/bulky to carry around."

I'd rather save a couple of bucks and make it smaller instead of bigger.

That biometric personal security mouse with nanotechnology on the sidebar seems way cool! A bit excessive, but way cool nonetheless

When they get that big, keep an eye on the transfer rates. It may take 20+ minutes to load if it gets too slow.

1TB external drive for $200. Wow. Sure seems a long time since I carried around a cassette tape to load programs on my C64 or the Commodore Pet computers at high school.
