Black Friday Deals

In preparation for Black Friday, Amazon has announced that they will have a Black Friday Page up with all of the deals that they will be offering. My Deals widget located at the top of the page will now display deals that Amazon is offering. Of course I will still add items to my store, because I love writing about those things when I have time. However, check back here for the deal of the day, just in case you're interested!

Also, in addition to this, Amazon is now offering the customer vote once again. There are a lot of great deals to be had here, including a 46 inch 1080p flat panel television for just $716. That's a pretty freakin sweet deal!! Other things, such as the hard to find Nintendo Wii are also available. Make your votes now so that you can get a chance for these great deals!

Why waste your Black Friday waiting outside in a parking lot? Buy at Amazon and save yourself time and money! Personally, I won't be taking part in Black Friday this year. I'll be at Madison Square Garden, taking in a great hockey game, and spending some time with my girlfriend. You can read about the game over at my hockey blog, Lets Go Terriers, if you're interested! Also come back here for your holiday guides!! I'll be preparing those soon! 5 items for each type of person I can think of!

Bioshock for Xbox 360

My word, it's been over a week since I've posted something that I've wanted. It's not that I've forgotten about this site, but I'm working on some really big things, and this just kind of hit the back burner. I'm back though! Just in time for the holiday season, eh? Anyway, today's product is a video game, and quite a popular one at that. It's a great deal too. Today, I'm featuring Bioshock.

Bioshock is a great Xbox 360 game. I've got a funny story about how I got my system, but that's for another day. In Bioshock, you are exploring an underwater utopia that has been ravaged by scientific experiments. Dead corpses lie everywhere, and around every corner genetically altered mutants are waiting to ambush you. As you travel through the city, you must acquire new weapons, upgrade the ones that you have, and use all of your cunning in order to survive. In the end, you must decide whether to exploit everyone in order to survive, or risk everything in order to try to save the survivors?

If you're a first person shooter fan, and you don't have this one yet, you've got to go pick it up right away. Why is that? Well, there is a deal over at Amazon. If you buy Bioshock, you can pick up The Darkness for free!!! That's a buy one get one deal... and you know that's not something you're going to get all the time.

Bioshock is selling for $49.99, saving you $10 right away. Don't forget to pick up the Darkness for FREE. Of course, both are available in my Astore!

Howl's Moving Castle

Going to add more movies to the catalog. I think I have this one, but I'm not sure. I'm going to check right now actually. Ah. Yes I do. Now I just have to find it because I want to watch it tonight. Today's product is Howl's Moving Castle. If you love beautiful movies with a great story, then this is for you. Made by the famous Hayao Miyazaki, I know that you won't be disappointed.

Here's the editorial review for Howl's Moving Castle from over at Amazon:

Like a dream, Howl's Moving Castle carries audiences to vistas beyond their imaginations where they experience excitement, adventure, terror, humor, and romance. With domestic box office receipts of over $210 million, Howl passed Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke to become the #3 film in Japanese history, behind his Spirited Away and James Cameron's Titanic. Based on a juvenile novel by Diana Wynne Jones, Howl's Moving Castle marks the first time Miyazaki has adapted another writer's work since Kiki's Delivery Service (1989). Sophie, a 19-year-old girl who believes she is plain, has resigned herself to a drab life in her family's hat shop--until the Witch of the Waste transforms her into a 90-year-old woman. In her aged guise, Sophie searches for a way to break the Witch's spell and finds unexpected adventures. Like Chihiro, the heroine of Spirited Away, Sophie discovers her hidden potential in a magical environment--the castle of the title. Using CG, Miyazaki creates a ramshackle structure that looks like it might disintegrate at any moment. Sophie's honesty and determination win her some valuable new friends: Markl, Howl's young apprentice; a jaunty scarecrow; Calcifer, a temperamental fire demon; and Heen, a hilarious, wheezing dog. She wins the heart of the dashing, irresponsible wizard Howl, and brings an end an unnecessary and destructive war. The film overflows with eclipsing visuals that range from frightening aerial battles to serene landscapes, and few recent features--animated or live action--offer as much magic as Howl's Moving Castle. --Charles Solomon

Howl's Moving Castle is a beautiful story with great animation. I've watched it so many times I can't even count them. I actually went out of my way to see it once while I was on vacation! Also, if you've seen any of Miyazaki's movies, then you know what to expect. They're all well done, and this is no exception!

Howl's Moving Castle is on sale at Amazon for $21.49. A bit pricey for a DVD, but it is totally worth it. Of course it is available at my Astore!

House, MD

Time to add some more DVDs to the catalog. This time, we've got one of my favorite shows ever. House, MD. I watch this show pretty religiously on Tuesdays, and I've been watching it ever since it started just about 3 years ago.

For anyone who doesn't know, House, MD is a drama about Dr. House, who is played by Hugh Laurie (excellent actor). He is an expert diagnostician with a concentration in infectious disease and nephrology. He leads a team of 3 other doctors, and they work together to find solutions to various strange diseases and conditions that their patients develop. What makes House so interesting is that he doesn't seem to care about his patients, just simply the challenge of finding out what is wrong with them and making it better.

Season 4 has just recently started, but the first 3 season are available for download through Amazon Unbox, for just about $2 an episode. A small investment if you're just looking to find a new show to watch. Or download it and check it out. But in the end, you're gonna want to come back and purchase all three seasons of House, MD that are already available on DVD.

I can vouch that House, MD is an excellent show. I highly recommend it. It's definitely worth it to be able to go onto the DVDs and look at the behind the scenes and other great stuff they have there. I've already watched the first and second seasons twice... :-\.

Of course, all 3 seasons are available for sale in my Astore!
