I think the Sanyos take like 2 hours to charge so they won't be as fast as the energizers, but they hold their power for years so it's good for remotes.

Very slow self discharge maintains 85% residual capacity after 1 year of storage and 70% residual capacity after 2 years of storage

I just need them for my wii.

The weirdest thing though is that on the Dell website they actually tell you the disadvantages of rechargeable batteries. Never seen that before. hehe

Given these advantages, there are however also some disadvantages to typical Ni-MH batteries which made consumers reluctant to exchange their disposable batteries for rechargeables:

• After purchase, rechargeable batteries have to be charged before they can be used.
• Rechargeable batteries lose stored energy quickly
• Continous/frequent charging ( without conplete discharge ) can destroy the battery
• The charging process can take a long time and rapid chargers are expensive

Oh yah, just in case anyone was wondering about the Free Shipping, I ordered the Harmony 880 Monday at 11.20am and recieved it yesterday Thats what I call an amazing shipping service.

I'm thinking of getting some of today's deals...Thinking of setting up a wireless network at home, just wondering if that router is any good??

Any one had any experience with the LaCie external HD? seems like a good price.

Compared with this one at futureshop.

Don't know about the quality but that same external HD is on sale at Future Shop starting tomorrow for $10 cheaper (ie.$120). You might want to wait till tomorrow.

Edit: Just to clarify I'm talking about the LaCie that's currently on at Dell Day's.

How much were they? By the time I saw them the price disappeared and it said sold out.

$20
The regular price listed on their site was $50 I think.

Sweet.. thanks for the heads up!

What do you guys think of that Motorolla Bluetooth Ipod thing?
Is that a good deal?

[MaDMaN_26]

so is the 19 widescreen on sale today a good deal or what - everyone was quite excited about the 24' the other day... if I guy wanted to dual screen or SLI these though??

Thoughts?

You get what you pay for.. this monitor is good if you just need a cheap monitor, but I've read some issues with colour inconsistency across it, plus the resolution is quite low (1440 x 900). And for that price it's probably a 6 bit panel (fewer colours). Might be ok for a second monitor that doesn't get much use, but I wouldn't want it.

If you really want to game, I'd go with the larger monitors (20"+), and make sure and get a good quality monitor. I've got a 2005FPW and it's VERY nice for gaming.

Maybe a little off topic for this thread, in line with online deals...

Sony Bravia 1080p 40" Widescreen LCD HDTV
Bundled with the PlayStation 3 Hardware 60GB with 3 movies and 1 game (Casino Royale, Ghost Rider, Underworld: Evolution and MLB 07) for $2299.99 (They say that saves $725.00)

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...0079166&catid=

you have to enter each product manually to get that pricing... but if you were in the market for a new LCD and a PS3

not to mention there is this: 5 free Blu ray disc with the purchase of a Blu-ray player - PS3 counts.

Hmmm, that Asus GPS PDA is very tempting...

I nabbed a 2G memory stick before it was too late. that was a sweet deal. today's deals kinda suck though.

I have a LaCie external HD (250GB). Works great. Best part about it is its completely silent, makes zero noise. I actually bought it on the last Dell's Days of Deals for $120.

They tend to be a bit more expensive than some external drives, but they are generally better built, and use a higher quality chipset than the generic stuff.
