    HP Touchpad $99.99 / $149.99

    I bought a case (the one that works with the touchstone) yesterday from hp home. Maybe they went out of stock after that, but they're showing in stock now (7am EST): http://www.shopping.hp.com/can/touchpad/categories/case/1/accessories

    HP Touchpad $99.99 / $149.99

    My HP SMB order for the 32 version, that has sat in limbo from around 8am EST on Sunday the 21st, just got shipped. If you want to compare notes, my order did receive a confirmation on the 23rd, showing an order date of the 22nd, but the status on their site always showed "will inform" for ship...

    HP Touchpad $99.99 / $149.99

    Here's a bitter twist on my hp order (the one I wanted for me; my other order was supposed to be for my gf): - So my order at hp SB has been sitting in limbo, but I assumed it would all work out in the end. Yesterday, all of the sudden my only card (a debit card) stopped being accepted in cash...

    HP Touchpad $99.99 / $149.99

    Last "tech support" post, I promise: - If you're wondering about what order to do the tweaks/overclocking in, below is how I did it and everything went smoothly: 1. Update WebOS 2. Do the logging hack (need to use skype to access the dialer) 3. Do the steps to load precentral and download the...

    HP Touchpad $99.99 / $149.99

    Yes you do have to sign up for skype (I didn't have an acct. established either) but you can do it right from the touchpad, it takes 10 seconds, and it's free for the purpose of just accessing the dialer.

    HP Touchpad $99.99 / $149.99

    There are a bunch of sites out there explaining how to do it, and every single one seems to miss a small step or two, but nothing that will sabotage the process. Here's one site: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/got-a-slow-hp-touchpad-here-are-3-easy-ways-to-speed-it-up/

    HP Touchpad $99.99 / $149.99

    If you ordered from HP and your credit card doesn't show any charge/hold now, don't sweat it. It just means the normal 3-4 day hold has expired; totally normal. You won't be charged, or show a charge until it ships. Other forums seem to have a lot of chatter saying that at least the HP SMB reps...

    No it isn't if that's what it was worth to you.

    HP Touchpad $99.99 / $149.99

    While I did get the one I ordered for my gf (via bestbuy online), the one I was going to claim as my own was ordered from HP SBM. I got the same type of info you did although my initial ordering went at a lot smoother than yours did (took maybe 3 quick tries to place the order). I haven't been...

    HP Touchpad $99.99 / $149.99

    Probably everyone is either tired of hearing "success" stories, but I'll add mine to feed this mega thread: Ordered the 16 ver. from BestBuy on Sunday morning, ~10am EST. Threw in a few bucks for faster shipping given that I thought it might give me a better chance of getting one. Got a...

    HP Touchpad $99.99 / $149.99

    Just ordered one (32 version) from hp small business - worked on third try. Hard to pull the trigger at $149, but I'll confess I got caught up in the "thrill of the hunt." On the bright side: free shipping, no B&M frenzy/disappointment. On the bad side: I think I just bought a really overpriced...

    Sin & Punishment: Star Successor @ amazon for $19.99

    Sorry, it's $20 actually. My bad. For the Wii only. Maybe not the hottest deal, and sorry if it was posted earlier (couldn't fine a thread on it) but it still goes for mad bucks elsewhere...

    Yes, It Was An Aprils Fool Joke - No, You Aren't A Stolen Goods Trading Suspect

    That entirely misses the point. You don't know that when you first see it. You think (or at least I did) that everyone else can see it too. Look, April Fool's day isn't on everyone's radar. I realize that I am possibly the only one who doesn't think this is hilarious, so I'm willing to say that...

    Yes, It Was An Aprils Fool Joke - No, You Aren't A Stolen Goods Trading Suspect

    Clever in execution, but not funny. Identity theft and/or being accused of an actual crime is not a laughing matter to me. I appreciate the spirit in which it was done, and the coding skills used in creating it, but I really think this wasn't a good idea. I know many if not all of you are...

    USB Creative Labs Sound Card

    Good warning about the Windows 7 beta driver, but I'm a little confused by it. The standard driver Creative offers for Win 7 on their site is version 1.01.0096. It says nothing about it being a beta (they have a separate beta drivers section). However, it says it was released in July 09, way...

    USB Creative Labs Sound Card

    Good deal! Bought one. And while it's not a "game" deal, I for one wouldn't have seen it if it hadn't been posted here. After reading several reviews, it clearly will make a difference in sound quality while gaming. Another thing worth mentioning is that if you have a desktop with onboard sound...

    NEW COUPON! - 50% off all games at Big Fish Games!

    Used it to get the new "Serpent of Isis" hidden-object game (not sure why I like those games . . . usually an RPG or action/shooter kind of guy). That game has some serious problems. Some objects are impossible to discern and/or entirely unrecognizable, some scenes are too dark...

    Steam Weekend Deal: STALKER for $4.99

    I liked STALKER a lot. My comp is underpowered but it played pretty well for me (2ghz Pentium 4, 1gb of mem, ATI 9800 PRO, XP). There are decent tweak guides out there to help you maximize performance. Also, you can hang back a bit in the first mission; just trigger the gunplay, and back out and...

    CAG's Black Friday Bonanza! Win a $200 Gift Card to the Retailer of Your Choice!

    Bioshock (PC) for $9.99 at BestBuy would be the deal I'd go after . . . except I don't meet the required specs . . . sigh.

    GoGamer PC Madness: BiA HH $32.90 Lego Batman $19.90

    Anyone have an opinion on GW:Platinum as a single-player experience? I've always been tempted to get it, but I'm just not into the whole MMO-thing.
