Thanks for the ads, speedy. Time to finally pick up Pikmin 2.

BTW, it looks like you didn't post the price for Loco Roco (PSP), only the date and time available.

Perhaps but so far it seems unlikely.

I have a question about the iTunes card with Lost. Is it a $10 card or is it $10 off one of the cards because i don't seem to remember a $10 card but my memory could be failing me. Thanks in advance.

I believe Borders is planning to have it on sale, but given that Criterions are MSRP in store, you're going to get a much better price online.

Can someone who knows a lot about computers let me know if the CC deal for an HP is better than the BB one?

CC:

Compaq Presario Dektop PC w/Intel Pentium 4 Processor 524 // DVD+R dual layer or DVD +/- RW drive // 512 MB DDR // 200 GB HD // Burns Labels directly to disc with LightScribe // 16" Flat Screen Monitor PLUS HP 3915 DeskJet Color printer // WEB ID = SR1930NX / FS7600WE / DJ3915 >>>> $569.97 // $170 Mail In Rebate Available

This is what the BB ad offers:

HP Intel Pentium D 805 Dual Core Processor // 1024 MB DDR2 // 200 GB HD // Reads & Writes DVDs & CDs // LightScribe labeling technology // Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 // 15" LCD Flat Panel Monitor PLUS HP Color printer // Model A1517X / VS15 / 7515153 / 7390199 >>>> $599.97


I noticed the BB has double the DDR and it lists DDR2.

I do a lot of burning for cds and dvds.

Or are there usually even better deals and should I wait a little longer?

Thanks!

Glad to see that some of the people out there are reading my recommendations. Being in the computer industry, I try to highlight what I think are actual deals for you folks out there.

These two deals are essentially the same but with a slight edge given to the Best Buy deal for two reasons:

1. Double the memory (as you pointed out) - DDR2 is considered the memory platform for all future machines
2. Duo Core Processor (which is supposed to dramatically reduce processing task time)


A third factor is the CC deal has $170 in Mail In Rebates to make the final price even sweeter. (So if final price is a consideration, go with CC. If not, the BB deal makes sense.)

Just my opinion. Both are fine machines.

Better deals do come along but are usually limited in quantities or are closeouts of older models.
