Deals Return - Sunday Just Didn’t Have Many
Yesterday was a busy one, looking for lots of deals and finding few. Lots of places where I usually look either had no ads for this Halloween week, or had things related to that holiday on sale.
Further investigation brought some more deals, so I’ll continue today - a day late, and (hopefully) a dollar short.

BUY.COM has the Microsoft Xbox 360 HD DVD drive for $165 with shipping included, and 2 HD DVDs free. On top of that, the same rebate I showed you yesterday, from the HD DVD group, applies.
Hot deal on this player ends Nov. 4
For those not paying full attention, that’s 7 DVDs with a price to your door of $165.

Amazon has the Samsung 40″ 120Hz 1080p Widescreen LCD Television for $1750, including shipping. Model no. LN-T4071F has native resolution of 1920 x 1080, 120 Hz frame rate, and a 25,000:1 contrast ratio. It features 8ms response time, and has ATSC, NTSC, and QAM tuners. It includes USB, RCA, component video, S-Video, and 3 HDMI connections.
Samsung television has it all - except cable card connectivity - nothing is perfect!

Movies and television programs take up lots of space on those HTPCs, and so home theater buffs are always looking for a better, faster, denser storage method. Those HTPC cases tend to be small and cramped, so throwing in several 500 GB hard drives is not really possible. Newegg is here to help you with the sale of a 1 Terabyte Seagate SATA drive for $330, including shipping. This drive has a 32MB cache and rotates at 7200 rpm. It runs a little bit hotter than a 5400 rpm drive, typically used in a DVR or HTPC, so make sure you have adequate ventilation. Those who have a TiVo will want one of these for those complete season saves. Also, remember how much more space HD content takes up on the drive - you can never have enough space!
Seagate 1TB drive, just the ticket for the avid television watcher - or simply someone who needs a lot of time shifting.

DEALNEWS has a FREE 1 month trial of Netflix. This offer is only good through the 31st of October, so hurry to take advantage of this.
Can’t hurt to try it! It’s free.

Best Buy has the 10″ 420 W subwoofer free with the purchase of the Klipsch Quintet SL 5 piece speaker system.
Audition at the store, then order at home online to get deal, and have the items shipped to the store to avoid shipping on a heavy item. The subwoofer lists for $399.
-
Best Buy has several other deals that are on sale online only - as usual, audition in store, then order online at home, with shipping that is free to the store. Even making 2 trips to the store will save you money. Also, you can be assured of getting something that has a good chance of pleasing you when you get it home.

WalMart now has the Toshiba HD-A2 for $279.54 with free shipping to the store. This makes another place to get the player if you can’t find it elsewhere, and although it does not say so, the 5 DVD deal by rebate should apply - it is coming from the HD DVD consortium, not Toshiba or WalMart.

Since many of these deals are coming up during the week, and not just on Sunday (it’s the start of the holiday buying season, whether you realize or not), I’ll be continuing through the week with updates when I find them. Good shopping, and save an HD-A2 for me!
