The CV 2007 Holiday Gift Guide: 1080p for under $700

If I needed to buy a new TV, (and I don't, thanks) I'd have a hard time passing this deal up. Sure, it's refurbished, and but the warranty is still valid, so really no big deal. There are likely far better TVs out there for a few hundred more, but to get a 42" 1080p TV for $680 is a great bargain. No doubt. I would think, for most New York apartments, this would be the perfect size for a living room too, and while 1080p is still pretty useless, having it now will help quell the urge to upgrade again when it becomes more prominent down the line.

The CV 2007 Holiday Gift Guide: Bargain 360 Bundle

This'll be fun...

Say what you will about Wal Mart, they've got an excellent deal today and today only (OMG Cyber Monday!) for an Xbox 360.

for $399, you get an 360 Premium System with HDMI out, an extra controller, a stupid looking Messenger Bag, and 3 Games (Forza 2 and Marvel are packed in, plus pick one from a list of recently released Game of the Year contenders like Halo 3, Bioshock, Orange Box, Mass Effect, etc.)

Considering the 360 Premium package is normally $350 and a second controller you'd buy anyway is another $50 or so, you're basically getting your pick of a great new $60 game for free. And that busted messenger bag...

Link here. Considering I've spoken with a bunch of friends who were at least considering getting an Xbox this season, I thought this'd be helpful. If you do get one, it'd just be foolish not to go with this.
