			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just came across this amazing deal today. <a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-3165705-10666648">Dell</a> is offering a 46-inch Sony Bravia TV for just $1299 with a special bonus &#8211; the set comes with a free 19-inch HDTV just for good measure.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11602 aligncenter" title="sony_bravia_free_st" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/sony_bravia_free_st.jpg" alt="sony_bravia_free_st" width="520" height="378" /></p>
<p>For just $1299, you&#8217;ll get a good deal on the 46-inch <a href="http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&amp;storeId=10151&amp;langId=-1&amp;productId=8198552921665381961">Sony Bravia KDL-46S4100</a>, plus you&#8217;ll get the 19-inch <a href="http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&amp;storeId=10151&amp;langId=-1&amp;productId=8198552921665401966">Bravia KDL-19M4000/S</a> thrown in (via a $499 instant savings on the bundle). The KDL-46S4100 is a highly rated flat screen LCD with full 1080p resolution, while the 19-inch silver-bezeled LCD TV normally retails for $499, and displays 720p images (upscaled onto a 1440 x 900 display). The KDL-19M4000/S isn&#8217;t too shabby if you&#8217;re looking for an extra set for your office, kitchen or a bedroom and is a great bonus if you were already in the market for a large LCD for your living room.</p>
<p>If you want to get in on this deal, you&#8217;d better bust a move over to <a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-3165705-10666648">Dell</a> before the offer expires tomorrow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a mid-priced digital camera, you should check out Amazon&#8217;s Gold Box for today, because they&#8217;re cutting $500 bucks or a whopping 56% off the list price of the <a href="http://www.sigma-dp1.com/">Sigma DP1</a>, selling the 14 megapixel camera <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013DCOZC?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0013DCOZC">for only $399 (USD)</a>. Amazon&#8217;s gone insane, and you should capitalize before they come to their senses.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11379 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/sigma-dp1.jpg" alt="sigma-dp1" width="520" height="323" /></p>
<p>The DP1 is a compact digital camera that features a 14-megapixel optical sensor powered by Foveon CMOS technology, a pop-up flash and a 2.5-in LCD viewing screen. Go to <a href="http://www.sigma-dp1.com/">Sigma&#8217;s DP1 website</a> or <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sigmadp1/page21.asp">Digital Photography Review&#8217;s article</a> on the DP1 and see if it&#8217;s the right camera for you. But be quick about it if you want to save $500 &#8211; these surely won&#8217;t last long.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to this ad circular that&#8217;s floating around the web, your friendly neighborhood Wal-Mart will be flooding the market with super discounted Toshiba high definition DVD players.</p>

<p>After dropping the price on Toshiba&#8217;s HD-A2 HD DVD player to $199, there&#8217;s now an ad that shows an unbelievable price of $98.87. I&#8217;m sure this is a loss-leader for Wally World, but it&#8217;s still but it&#8217;s a clear sign that the HD DVD camp means business. As far as I know, the sale is a one-day only deal for this Friday (November 2, 2007 starting at 8am), but I wouldn&#8217;t doubt that the regular retail price for these players drops close to this level as the holidays approach.</p>
<p>With the cheapest Blu-Ray players running around $400 (on sale), these kind of aggressive discounts will help HD DVD gain ground on what was a losing battle up until now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While those of us who played the supremely awesome <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2007/08/12/bioshock-demo-on-xbox-live-tonight/">Bioshock demo</a> are salivating to get our hands on the full game, a few lucky stiffs have been able to pick up copies of the game a full week ahead of its 8/21 release date. Apparently, some <strike>bozos</strike> really intelligent individuals working behind the counter at Toys &#8216;R Us didn&#8217;t bother to check the release date, and are selling them since they already have the game in the stock room at some locations.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/bioshock_sold_early.jpg" alt="Bioshock Discs Sold Early at TRU" /></p>
<p>Several posters over on the <a href="http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=179833&amp;page=26">NeoGAF forums</a> are already reporting that they have the highly anticipated Xbox 360 FPS+ in hand. Apparently, all they needed to do was ask the sales clerks if they had Bioshock in stock, and they were sold the game. So run, don&#8217;t walk to your neighborhood Toys &#8216;R Us store before the Microsoft and TRU suits get wind of this and shut down the pipeline.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While Sceptre isn&#8217;t necessarily as well known as brands like Sony and Samsung, they do actually make pretty decent HDTVs. That said, if you&#8217;re looking for an bargain-priced way to break into the high-def big screen world, check out this limited time deal from Costco.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/sceptre_46_lcd.jpg" alt="Sceptre 46-inch LCD 1080p HDTV" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.sceptre.com/Products/LCD/Specifications/spec_X46BV-FullHD.htm">Sceptre 46-inch 1080p widescreen LCD</a> set is now on sale for just $1299.99 (after a $300 rebate.) The set offers full 1920 x 1080 native pixel resolution and supports true 1080p input signals. Contrast ratio is a solid 8,000 to 1, which is pretty good as LCDs go.</p>
<p>I also like that they didn&#8217;t skimp on inputs, even though the price is low. Sceptre includes 3 HDMI ports, as well as 2 Component and 2 Composite/S-video inputs too. There&#8217;s also a VGA input for hooking up a PC. The set also offers four built-in speakers, and SRS TruSurround XT audio enhancement.</p>
<p>This special offer is only valid through August 12, 2007, so if you&#8217;re interested in taking advantage of it, hop on over to the <a href="http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11214671">Costco website</a> now.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/360_elite_early.jpg" alt="Xbox 360 Elite Street Date Broken" /></p>
<p>The new model is slated for release on April 29th, but at least one branch of Target (in Chico, California) has sold this one to a lucky buyer. The receipt shows a purchase price of 479.99, and it sure looks like the authentic box art.</p>
<p>That said, it could still be a quality Photoshop job, so you be the judge.</p>
<p>[UPDATE: <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/04/18/target-breaking-elite-street-date-now-on-ebay/">Xbox 360 Fanboy</a> has pointed out that this particular system is for sale over on <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Xbox-360-Elite-AVAILABLE-NOW-Will-ship-IMMEDIATELY_W0QQitemZ230118912673QQihZ013QQcategoryZ62054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">eBay</a>, starting at $600. Many more pics, including the serial number label are on display there.]</p>

<p>A cursory check of the site turned up recent titles like <a href="http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?pfid=4343520&amp;title=Lost+Planet">Lost Planet</a>, <a href="http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?pfid=4575922&amp;title=Resistance%3aFall+Of+Man">Resistance: Fall of Man</a>, and <a href="http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?pfid=4457448&amp;title=Gears+Of+War">Gears of War</a> for just $44.99 each.</p>
