Top 5 Electronic Stores to Buy From!

Now that Circuit City is gone and many others, we’re starting get limited on electronic stores we can buy from. Or are we? In fact there are tons of electronics stores to buy from on the web. I’m going to name the top 5 electronic stores I would buy from and reasons why!

  1. Amazon:  I would like to nominate Amazon as the number one electronic store in my list.  The reason why is their dirt cheap prices and free shipping.  Truly you won’t find a store that beats their prices, not even ScamMart, mean Walmart.  And their product list is endless, you won’t have a hard time looking for any kind of electronic.
  2. Tiger Direct: Every now and then I mosey on over to Tiger Direct and see what deals they’re handing out.  Next to Amazon, they have the 2nd lowest prices in the line of electronic stores.
  3. Micro Center: Great store on the web, but what I would really like to touch on is the in-store customer service, it’s truly outstanding.  I never been happier inside a store.  They greet you at the door, but what’s most important is the salesmen know what they’re talking about.  They’ll hook you up with decent deals, quality information, and honest opinions.
  4. Newegg: Definitely one of the best Computer stores to visit.  I like the site mostly for the honest reviews.  The overall pricing isn’t bad.
  5. Overstock: I actually just started visting this store, I’ve actually found some really good deals on there.  It’s not always the cheapest, but there shipping is very reasonable.

8-bit Music Video of Michael Jackson’s Thriller

Raquel Meyers made a 8-bit music video version of Michael Jackson’s thriller. I admire the effort, but I have to say the video is pretty horrible, lol. I was expecting a little more, I don’t know what I expected, it’s a 8 bit music video for God’s sake.

Game Controller Ornaments

game-controller-ornamentsIf you gamers are looking to dress up your tree this Christmas, you might want to check out these special game controller ornaments from Ponoko.

All of these ornaments are sold together as a set of seven. Just attach them with some string and you’re all a set.

Out of all of them I like the Nintendo 64 controller. Brings back some memories of Golden Eye with my friend Jason, that game was great!

iPod Touch Soon to be Camera Equipped?

camera-ipod-touchRumors have been flying around the internet that the iPod Touch might be camera equipped by next spring.

But, what’s rather disappointing is the fact that it will match the not so hot quality of the nano’s.

It would really great to see the camera from the iPhone stuffed into the iPod Touch, but I most likely doubt it.
