They have some good deals already, check em out. Not the days of deals just yet in this link, but some decent choices.

What kind of crap "Deals" does Dell think they can get away with?

I know- let's put a laptop on for $180 more than what we sell it for elsewhere on our site!
Here's the laptop on the "Days of deals":

Here's the laptop from their "Home and Home Office" page:

Wow... thats brutal... lets jack the price to $180 more than regular and then tell people they are saving $180 when we sell it for the original price... brutal tactics...

Well, it looks like they have since corrected it. But no- yesterday they weren't telling us that we save $180- they were just charging $180 more than regular price.

but even still, they are saying "You save 180" on the days of deals page but the regular price on the business page is already $549, with no "you save" so unless after the DofD are done the price jumps back up to 729 in the bussiness section it is still representing a saving where there really isnt one.


edit:
ok ya never mind, if you drill into the inpirons it starts showing the savings so you right, it is fixed... I just have an inherent distrust for Dell.

$699 for the 42" Westingtonhouse is back. I know a bunch of people bought one when it was on sale a few months ago, how is it? My parents TV died this week so I told them to pick one up.

My parents have one too and they're pretty decent for the price.

Just ordered the Logitech Harmony remote. I am totally excited...have wanted one for ages. Hard to justify $150 for a remote though...$50 is a lot better.

Looks like the TV deal has been pulled. When I try to add it to a cart, I get a 404 page, and when I click on more details, it says "Please call for latest prices."

Yes it will. My buddy often logs into my slingbox via his Mac.

The slingbox is a sweet product. I got mine during the Dell deals last fall and I love it.
