O.K so we have currently have a new version of the Apple iPhone 3G, slimmer and touch screen style iPods, and new and improved Zune’s on the market. With all these mp3 players out and about, I hope you are using a pair of Sony Ear Bud Headphones to get the type of sound quality you are looking for. Unlike many other ear buds, this pair of Sony’s uses a highly lightweight design and included silicone cushions for constant comfort even under the longest play list sessions. In order to keep all ears happy (because clearly not all are created the same size), every package also comes with 1 pair of small, medium, and large silicone ear inserts, and a carry case for loss free portability. Comfort is good, but sound quality is king when it comes to the Sony Ear buds. These headphones use an enhanced frequency response and a 13.5mm driver for unsurpassed bass, and overall crisp audio quality within the price bracket. This pair of mp3 headphones are currently being sold at a discount through Bestbuy.com, so be sure to pick them up today for a clear way of listening to your tunes.

I am a gamer through and through, and yet I still sometimes have a hard time wrapping my brain around how video games have become so authentic looking and engaging. Especially in terms of action/war games like the new Call of Duty World at War, how insane will intense fighting scenes of WWII be when you are playing the Nintendo Wii? The new Call of Duty for the Wii allows you to choose to be either a U.S Marine or a Russian soldier towards the end of war, and plunges you from places like war devastated Berlin, to the dense jungles of the Pacific. With unprecedented graphics and character awareness, you will need to use various weapons such as flamethrowers, grenades, vehicle based weapons, and of course your rifle, in order to rid the world of the last remaining enemy infantry. Call of Duty: World At War can be played in single mission version or in 2-player co-op mode and is available in all major gaming consoles. If you pre-order your copy of Call of Duty through Best Buy, you will be able to receive a special bonus package and a coupon for $5 dollars off any previously released Call of Duty video game.

In a navigational sense, I guess you could say that my sense of direction would not allow me to find the way out of a paper bag. I should be somewhat frustrated with this circumstance, however I keep telling myself that I come by my lack of directional skills honestly (achem MOM). In order for me to get to point A to B, I have to use the Magellan Maestro 3200 GPS System. Extremely affordable (with a current discount at Best Buy), the Magellan uses a 3.5” wide screen display that is touch screen and easily viewable. Using a highly intuitive interface, even people who are not the most technologically advanced are able to touch their way to maps spanning across the U.S, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii. Using the “TrueView” option, the Magellan Maestro will even supply a pop up visual of an upcoming turn or a 3-D birds eye map view of your location. The backlight will even dim or grow in strength as day light increases/decreases in order to ensure a highly visible map. With many other cool GPS abilities, the Magellan Maestro includes mounting hardware, power adapter, and CD-ROM in order to get you moving in the right direction.

If you are heading back to school, the first thing you are going to need (after shower shoes of course) is a clear computer monitor. Prices have been substantially dropping on flat panel monitors, and between Labor Day sales and back to school time, this is really the time to buy. The Acer Flat Panel 19” Monitor will soon be available through Best Buy at a great price of $159.99 after rebate. Perfect for graphic designers or the avid movie watcher, this Acer computer monitor is thin enough to be mounted on the wall, and has a terrific 2000:1 contrast ratio for a fantastic display. The 19” wide screen flat panel also has a 1440 x 900 maximum resolution at 75Hz, meaning you will be getting an extremely clear and detailed image regardless of the colors on screen. Personally I am excited about this particular Acer monitor because it is both PC and Mac compatible, and it has a 5 ms response time to discourage any blurriness or streaking during a fast action movie, sporting event, or video game. Keep a look out at Bestbuy.com for this Acer 19” Widescreen Monitor as it is coming soon, but will assuredly sell out fast.

With all the GPS systems on the market, it is hard to differentiate between which product is the best for the buck, which may have the most options you are looking for, which is the sleekest, etc. Personally, I like the Magellan Maestro 3200 because it is extremely compact and easy to use. Nothing beats a highly intuitive interface with a crystal clear 3.5” QVGA color touch-screen display. The Magellan offers maps to cover the continental U.S as well as Puerto Rico and Hawaii and does so with either a 3-D birds eye view, standard map view, or turn by turn instructions. Clearly you may know where you want to go, but may not be able to spell it. This is really no problem considering the included QuickSpell technology which checks/corrects spellings of addresses and locations. The Maestro 3000 will also automatically adjust the back light brightness depending on the time of day, as well as give you 3 hours of run time when not plugged in. With various mounting accessories, computer software, and power adapter included, this is a great package for any person who needs an easy to use GPS for all multiple traveling needs.

Sorry for all you beach bums, but back to school is just around the corner. So, if you are going to be (or have been) an on campus dweller and plan on not starving during all those late nights, I suggest picking up a G.E Compact Microwave. This 0.7 Cu. Ft. white on white microwave is the perfect size for any dorm room or uncomfortably small apartment. Though highly compact, the G.E microwave offers a great variety of features such as preprogrammed heat and time settings for everyday foods, easy to read LED display, 10 power levels for dense foods, auto defrost (for foods weighing up to 6lbs.), rotating glass turntable, and a child lock for safety. Made by G.E, this is a highly reliable, highly economical appliance which is only offered online through Bestbuy.com. Thus far it has received a 4 out of 5 overall user rating, and at only 10” height x almost 18” deep, this 23lb. microwave will be ideal for any location lacking counter space.

Lightweight, Cordless, Bagless, what else do you need in terms of a perfect vacuum? The Dirt Devil Bagless Cordless Stick Vacuum is the ideal way to lift up dust, dirt (and who knows what else), off of that dingy dorm room floor. With 15.6V of power, this stick vac will easily attack bare floors and carpets and put all the grim into a simple to remove pour out container. This means no more bags to buy or replace! Another great feature of this Dirt Devil is that it has a folding handle for quick and easy storage. This is crucial for students who have less than adequate living spaces to begin with, plus the cordless nature of the vac makes tripping pretty much impossible. The Dirt Devil Bagless Cordless Stick Vac has passed ENERGY STAR compliances for energy efficiency, and will give you a 9.5” cleaning path for a great range of suction power. If and when the vac gets low on juice, it’s really no worries. Simply attach it to the included charging stand (on off), take a nap for a few hours, and use when necessary. Don’t let your dorm room become a haven for dead bugs, dirt, and grime!

If you are a portable gaming guru, you must get your hands on the limited edition Madden 09’ PSP Entertainment Pack.

Prepare yourself for an all out grid iron experience on a crystal clear 4.3” LCD display… it may help you students get through some of those boring classes.

Who hasn’t been desperately waiting for the new Madden 09 game, lord knows I have. Sports enthusiasts or just regular gamers, all can agree there is something extremely special about Madden Football. After all, it is hard to argue the fact that EA’s Madden has never been rivaled by any other console football game in the history of games (techno bowl yeah yea). Hold your breadth for about 15 more hours, and you too can get the new Madden shipped out to you. The 09’ version is offered for XBOX 360, PS2, PS3, Nintendo Wii and DS, and it even comes in both regular and collectors editions. All the hype is pretty much well worth it considering this is the first time John Madden Football 09 will actually adapt to you! The game itself will begin to understand the level of your game play, and modify itself in order to produce the most thrilling games yet.

Every day, more and more high end TV’s are being sold at affordable rates. Currently Best Buy is offering a great Dynex 42″ 720p Plasma HDTV for only $749.99. I would not expect for these plasma TV’s to be in stock much longer, after all it only has a 30,000:1 contrast ratio for picture quality that will blow your mind away! The 16:9 wide screen aspect ratio is able to be viewed in 4 different modes while the 20 Watts of SRS TruSurround/Dolby Digital sound will deliver crisp audio regardless of volume level. There is also a very specific 3:2 cinema processor which helps compensate for any variance(i.e differences in frames shot per second), in order to always get the smoothest quality picture. The Dynex plasma incorporates 3 HDMI inputs for an unsurpassed HD audio/visual experience AND a PC video input in order to view your fav pics in high def quality. For family purposes, the Dynex 42″ Plasma TV also includes a V chip to prevent children from watching adult material. However if you are single and going back to college, this is a very affordable plasma TV to make the perfect touch for any new apartment.

7 days 15 hours and counting, before I get my hands on the new XBOX (360) version of Madden 09. To celebrate its now 20th year as the most comprehensive and visually stunning football game, EA Sports is going to release 2 versions of the game. The first being the newest edition, crossing Xbox 360, Playstation 2-3, and Wii platforms, and the second is a Madden 09 Collectors Edition including NFL Head Coach 09. The collectors package means you get to create, and integrate your own play book right into the game! EA Sports video game designers have been calling this the best Madden to date and have created even more upgrades than ever before in a Madden. Take for example, the game automatically adapts to your skill level. A difficulty engine will literally assess your basic and advanced game play skills, in order to create a more thrilling game setting. There have also been upgrades to various aspects of real football, such as missed field goal returns, bobble catches, hard tackles, better stadium views, and field clarity. The new Madden 09 also incorporates online leagues in order to test your skill against some of the sickest players worldwide. With many other new features, I suggest you pre order your Madden 09 game before its too late.

Every year newer and newer technologies are being introduced to college level students.

Well ladies and gents, it’s getting to be about that time when you need to get off mom and dad’s couch, and get back to school. I know no one likes to give up their summer break (or summer attitude), but at least now you can get back to some unadulterated good times! O.k, so dorm rooms tend to be a bit more than the size of a shoe box, and off campus apartments may need a bit of sprucing up. Not to worry, Best Buy has the greatest deals going right now on appliances specifically to fit those tight dorm quarters, and larger scale electronics for apartment style complexes. You’d think for the price of tuition your school would be happy to buy you a GE Stainless Steel Compact Refrigerator and Microwave, or some much needed cleaning supplies like a Dirt Devil Accucharge Bagless Vaccum.

Check out what Best Buy has to offer in terms of lightweight, compact electronics to help your back to school move be that much easier.

The Bell Tolls For: The Dark Knight

Who hasn’t heard the “which is better Superman or Batman?” great debate at least 15 times in their lives? Well, let me answer that question off the bat, Batman is the greatest Super Heroes of all time. For those who agree with me, you are smart individuals. Those who do not agree with me, chances are good you are the opposite. Aside from the fact The Dark Knight is only human and yet still has the ability to take on the craziest villains (both human and otherwise), who out of all the super heroes out there does it with the same dark coolness? The answer is none. Batman has the some of the best gear (as seen in all of his movies, most recently of course Batman Begins and The Dark Knight), best car, best sense of civic duty (after all Bruce Wayne could just be busy counting his $$ all day), and the drive of a man twisted with inner turmoil. Batman does not have super human strength, or natural flight ability, or x ray/laser vision, or speeding bullet speeds (sound like anyone else?). All Batman has is his brain, body armor, and a bold attitude to stop crime, even if it means dying himself. Does The Dark Knight will do anything within his power for Gotham City to be a place for peace, justice, and safety. Check out these great ways to get into the Batman action!

Ah, there is really nothing like the sound of being serenaded by a wedding singer, who was just left at the altar by his girlfriend. If there is any guy on the planet who is able to turn his life around in this situation, and make you laugh at the same time it Mr. Robbie Hart (Adam Sandler DUH!). So in The Wedding Singer, we are stuck in the middle of 1985 in all its Billy Idol, Flock of Sea Gull haircut, one sparkling glove wearing, glory.
