    GameFly Xbox 360 Daily Deals: Skate 2 $13, GH:WT $10, NFS: U $10, Star Ocean $20

    I'm a 3-year member and I get a lot (10% or more) of bad disks, and I'm not counting the ones that are scratched up but work fine. It's just luck of the draw that the last renter didn't trash the disk and during big sales like this they tend to have more problems (in my experience). In...

    GameFly Daily Deals: FNR4 $15, Grid (360) $10, TW PGA 10 (360) $20 and More

    Fear 2 is the game I'm sending back as unplayable. The disc doesn't look too bad but it won't even boot. I'd install it to the hard drive to make sure it can read the whole disk if I were you.

    GameFly Daily Deals: FNR4 $15, Grid (360) $10, TW PGA 10 (360) $20 and More

    I rarely get a game that doesn't have some scratches and chips on the outer edge, but most work fine. You'll sometimes get a game that won't work at all, and it seems much more common during these big sales. when this happens they'll tell you to seal it up in the original package and mark it...

    Monoprice.com - Need HDMI, Optical Audio, Component, or Other Cables, Get Them Here

    Hopefully sometime soon Monoprice should have a 4-port HDMI/TOSLINK switch that will probably be a better solution in the long run.

    Suggest in-ear headphones that *really* block out...

    I got a set from Costco that use rubber pads and the largest size completely seals my ears. It was actually an air-tight fit for me which I don't find comfortable but may be just what you're looking for

    Cheap wall mounts for TVs

    I have one of the Monoprice mounts, and it's very solid. In an earthquake or hurricane/tornado, the wall and the TV may be destroyed but you can pick the mount out of the rubble and use it again later.

    LCD monitor scratch repair

    I've never used this on an LCD, but Novus plastic polish works really well on plastic surfaces.

    Cheap Xbox 360?

    Both. Unless you get a Falcon, a 90-day warranty isn't going to be much protection. And there's no guarantee a refurb will be a Falcon. I just got a non-Falcon HDMI refurb directly from Microsoft 2 weeks ago.

    Onkyo TX-SR606B - $399 shipped jr.com

    I love mine. I'm only using a 5.1 speakers with it because I don't have room for 7 but I don't feel like I'm missing much. HDMI switching is pretty irrelevant here because it'll be almost instant in the receiver but it'll take a few seconds for your output device to sync up with the TV when you...

    Onkyo TX-SR606B - $399 shipped jr.com

    Great receiver, but you're better off getting it from Amazon. It's been dropping under $380 lately. I bought one a couple of weeks ago and have already price-corrected it twice.

    Samsung LN40A650 40-in HDTV

    I've had the LN40A650 for about a week now. It looks amazing! I have it set up right next to a sliding-glass door where glare was a problem with my old CRT TV. The LCD is in the same place but seems to have some anti-reflective coating because I'm seeing a lot less glare. I'd prefer a less...

    It was Overlord. I get my games from the California center and everything has been in cardboard since late last year.

    Diploma Frames?

    She spends about $80 and gets very nice professional frames. How much it will cost you depends entirely on how cheap you want to be versus how nice you want it to look. If it's a DeVry diploma you're probably looking at $30 with the 50% off coupons. If you just got a doctorate at MIT or...

    Diploma Frames?

    My wife gets all her diplomas custom framed at Michaels. They have a 50% off coupon in flyers on a regular basis, or just ask for one in the store and they'll often give you the discount even if there isn't one currently available.
