‘Tis the Season for Tech
Is holiday shopping stressing you out? Wish you knew what the cool gadgets are this year? Shopping.com is here to help!
Back again this season as the most in-demand video game console is the Nintendo Wii. In fact, it sold out in many retail locations over the Thanksgiving weekend, so most shoppers will have to head online to a site like Shopping.com to find this in time for Christmas. eBay sellers also offer Wiis for an average selling price of around $430.
A super hot video game this year is the Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock game for the Xbox 360. Complete with new tracks and enhanced graphics, you’ll be less productive at home with this game in your collection. Find it for as low as $59.99 online.
Portable GPS devices are flying off the shelves this year as more and more people admit they have no sense of direction. In addition to helping you get from point A to point B, these devices will even direct you to the nearest gas station, hotel or fast food joint. Pretty handy when you’ve got an insatiable burger craving! The Garmin StreetPilot c550 is a great model, ranging from $300 - $500 on Shopping.com.
Everyone’s always talking about iPods, but what about the Microsoft Zune? They just released an 80 GB version, which is the equivalent of having a mini hard drive in your pocket! The good news is that it doesn’t weigh as much as one. Only slightly bigger than the 30 GB version, this player has a huge screen and comes with a built-in FM tuner so you can listen to news and sports on the radio. You can even wirelessly share songs, pictures and podcasts with other Zune owners. It’s tough to find offline, but you’ll find it on Shopping.com and eBay for roughly $210 - $420. I’m adding it to my list!
