wow, more deals.

We just finished a week - not that I am complaining - thanks.

Picked up the 20" LCD 2 belkin surge protectors. Is it weird I now own 11 surge protectors and I only have one computer

Uncharted 2 for $20 off? I'm going to name my kid "Thanks to you I couldn't play Uncharted 2, I hope you're happy".

Any opinions about that laptop? A friend of mine needs one for her daughter... for school and social networking mostly... she's not a gamer. they already own MS Office...

I have not really been shopping laptops so I'm not sure about pricing.

Anything you would absolutely upgrade as a must have?

If she doesnt need an optical drive and doesnt play high end games get her a netbook.

I bought one for my sister (asus eeepc from memx) for her high school graduation present. She loves not having to carry a power adapter along with her.

I was lucky enough to get a copy of Uncharted 2 right when it went on sale. Hopefully Dell doesn't do with they did with UFC Undisputed 09 and cancel my order without notifying me saying it's out of stock.

The ST2410 (today's offer) is TN. If you want the IPS monitor you need the U2410.

Well tbqh the Dell store's original prices are always inflated. So I bet you could find that same thing for somewhere near this new sale price.

But yes. Sucks to have bought it yesterday.

Good deal on the DLink media player.

Now just trying to figure out if I can connect it to my reciever via HDMI, and then have it output to red-green-blue for video as my plasma is an older model and doesnt have HDMI

I don't think 802.11g is going to cut it streaming HD content. Guess I'll soldier on with my XBOX (now with IR on button!)
