Our tryptophan-induced food comas are finally wearing off, and we're slowly making our way back to the keyboard as the holiday weekend draws to a close.

This year, though, retailers are offering steep discounts early and often. Many outlets are now adding Thanksgiving Day to the holiday shopping schedule, and ...

Explaining invite-only shopping to the uninitiated is a daunting task. The timed sales, the select merchandise -- shoppers who are used to the traditional way of e-commerce are usually baffled. "Why don't they have my size?" "The item was in my basket last night, where did it go today?" Of course, those who are familiar with the system, waiting diligently ...

Although still in the early stages, 2010 is already developing into a monumental year for video games. 'Heavy Rain,' 'Dante's Inferno,' 'God of War 3,' 'StarCraft 2,' 'BioShock 2' and the (long overdue) next incarnation of 'Zelda' for Wii represent just a small portion of highly anticipated titles.
New copies of those mega-hyped games will cost $50 to $60, though, so gamers may be ...
We've spent a decent amount of time ragging on Best Buy for its rather questionable business practices, but we've got to hand it to the retailer this time. It's offering such a sweeeeeet deal on the (already) free social networking application TweetDeck. That's right. Pop into any participating Best Buy, snatch up one of several select CDs for $9.99, and get the free downloadable ...

The Peek email-only handheld got a peculiar amount of praise given how, shall we say, non-multifaceted is it, but even being atop Time's "Gadget Of The Year" poll couldn't save it from an imminent price cut. Yes friends -- nary two months after this here device began shipping, its creator is already knocking a Jackson off of the purchase price. Sure, the site says "limited time only," but as with ...
Kids who play video games are fat, anti-social, and overly violent, right? Not necessarily, but that's what many people think, so outdoor "sporting" equipment retailer Bass Pro Shops is capitalizing on this misperception for a sales event happening next week. Bring in an old video game, any old thing you like, and get 15-percent off of your purchase at the store. The idea is, of course, to get ...
