The DS bundle is a pretty good deal. $99.99 is the lowest a single DS has been and sometimes that requires you to buy a game to get that price. Now you just have to buy 2 DS'... good bundle to share with a friend.

Shipping is free for all items.

[Freebee1]

Cmon, we need a actual deal! RAWR :lol:

[TimelessVictory]

Z-5500 Please!

[someguy91]

Z-5500 Please!

uh... didn't that already occur...

[ASharp]

uh... didn't that already occur...

Yeah...last week. People don't seem to be paying attention. :rolleyes:

[DeimosBeros]

XPS Laptops!

[jaszy]

EP-630 for ~13 bucks. CMON! I lost my pair at a gig :cry:

I am in for this! All colours too please. Want to change my black ones! :cheesygri

[Rx-87]

Yeah...last week. People don't seem to be paying attention. :rolleyes:


It occured but it wasn't the cheapest price it has been at... which was probably what the poster was meaning.

Its been at $199 ish apparently before.

[Rx-87]

EP-630 for ~13 bucks. CMON! I lost my pair at a gig :cry:


I too lost one of the ear piece sizes...... and now I only have EXTRA large or super small.....

and its like $5 bucks to get just the ear pieces

=(


So I rather get the entire set for cheap again!! It would be nice.

[ASharp]

It occured but it wasn't the cheapest price it has been at... which was probably what the poster was meaning.

Yes, it was $199.99 last year around this time during one of their DoDs.

Either way, requesting the Z-5500's is kind of pointless since they've already been put up during this DoD and Dell never puts the same product up twice.

[kleptodathief]

shud DAYS of DUD deals! :mad: not one good thing for me so far in 5 days

[sports1]

EP-630 for ~13 bucks. CMON! I lost my pair at a gig :cry:

I need new headphones... been checking dell for the EP-630s and they've stayed at $19.99 for a while now...

[batu]

2408WFP for $429

[jaszy]

Word. EP-630's for the win.

It's been like what, $20 since late summer of this year? :cry:

[recordman]

I think it got to as low as $13. I should have bought another backup. Awesome ear phones for the price.

Word. EP-630's for the win.

[HunterSlayer]

These recent deals have been brutally cold, please at least one good deal today!

[ASharp]

Hoping for ONE good item this WEEK to get me out of final exam blues. :cry:

Yeah, that would be nice. Luckily I only have one more left on Wednesday then I'm free!

Oh...and today's my birthday so you know...if Dell wants to be nice to me and give me a good deal, I wouldn't mind. And yes, that birthday mention was shamelessly put in. ;)

[takumi86]

I'm not greedy ... I just want a price error :cheesygri


LOL same here. +1

[PlayerOne]

o well, a win for my wallet, so there is an up side to these DoD's being complete crap

[flavp5]

whats that yamaha sound projector like?

[HunterSlayer]

I'm regretting passing on that Zune, it was a great deal. At least these deals weren't as bad as the past few days, perhaps they will go out with a bang. One can only hope.

Even if they fail, there's always boxing day...

[Cero21]

good price if you need 2 dses

[redbimmer]

The DS deal is pretty good, considering they're normally $130 each at most retailers. The cheapest I've ever seen them was $100 during Walmart's Anniversary sale, and they sold out in hours. It'd be nice if they offered all the colors, but they could have done worse.

[HunterSlayer]

whats that yamaha sound projector like?It's all right, only recommended if you want a more stylish approach to surround sound. Yamaha makes great receivers but the systems I've heard are lackluster, I would pass on this "deal".

[miss_swan]

2 DS for 200 bucks, included ship?

Wonder how long it will take to ship though ... hahahaha. Probably after xmas.

Anyways, not "bad" if you need some for xmas gifts.

[jehova]

terribly dissapointed Dell

[evanx]

The DS is a decent deal.

[dux]

The only reason they are on sale is because Nintendo is trying to clear out remaining units for the introduction of the DSi.

DSi won't be coming to N. America untill late 2009. So no that's not the reason why the DS it's on sale.

[redbimmer]

The only reason they are on sale is because Nintendo is trying to clear out remaining units for the introduction of the DSi.

From the looks of it, the DSi won't be arriving for quite some time, and won't supplant the original DS because it's losing the GBA port (i.e. backwards compatibility). Even if the DSi release was imminent, the DS would be on sale at all retailers, and they wouldn't start with a color that was just released this September. Sometimes, a sale is just a sale.

Try to do a little research next time instead of posting unsubstantiated personal opinions.

[adblink182]

another disappointing day for sure. good thing i work night and get home just an hour after they are released, or else I would be super pissed at getting up early for these "Deals"

[Value Hunter]

These are some disappointing days of deals.

[ravage]

$112 per NDS after-tax, it's a decent deal. FS is selling one of these for $120+tax, which makes it around $135 after-tax.

Edit:

It's actually $146.90 after-tax...

[ipxxx]

i'll echo that the DS deal is not bad

[162]

Time to self-evaluate some of these days of deals Dell. I'm sure sales haven't been that great.

[deepakarora79]

crappy deals...

[Mendes]

The HDMI switch looks like a great deal for those in the market.

1.3 and remote operated (ie Map it to the Harmony!) for $50 thats a GREAT price.

[sc888888]

whats that yamaha sound projector like?

No HDMI input/output. Pass.

[sc888888]

Monoprice 4x1 1.3b certified switch $30 plus $10 shipping, exchange, custom, duties, you might save a couple of bucks.

I can vouch for the Monoprice switch, signal are equalized across the ports now I only need one color setting.

Thats the one ive got now. It would work out about $5 cheaper from monoprice if you can skip customs.

Id still take the dell deal

Any reviews? Any "handshake" issues...especially with 60gb ps3? Thanks

[ChopSuey]

I'm really surprised there hasn't been any good laptop deals yet. I guess we are all hoping for the next DELL price error to happen. :)

[Deal Slayer]

ccccccc.....old!

[spinbot]

I'm interested in the HDMI switch, however as I also use a slingbox, I am trying to think if this will work or not ( I have my Satellite, DVD and HD-DVD going through the slingbox ). Too early in the morning to think about wiring :)
Deal seems decent.

There was a comment about the compatibility of this with the PS3-60GB . I have the Metal Gear Solid 80GB version .. any past issues with it and HDMI switches?

[HockeyFan]

Dell sux. What kinda crap is this?:mad:

[cmge]

ugh still no decent digicam deal.. weak

[angel_wing0]

terrible deals like the weather today...i would only say the ds deal is so-so...

[Seifer]

How's the bluetooth headset ?

My aunt wants to give one to her daughter and she wants something good and with a good price.

Someone has this headset and could review it ?

Some reviews are good and other are bad so I don't know what to think...

[kleptodathief]

has dell ever had a ps3 DoD deal??? im wishing for a 300$ bundle!!! :?::idea::razz:

[[H]ackerK]

whats that yamaha sound projector like?

Got YSP800, it does work. But works much better if you got the sub with it.

[jaszy]

Booo no EP-630's :evil:




hehehee

[golden]

2 Silver DS? I would jump on the deal if they have different color DS you can choose from.

[[H]ackerK]

LOL! Found a YSP900 (still in box) for sale on halifax.kijiji.ca for $400....

[kevinlo2]

Is that DS the new one that cannot use the R4 card?

[insomnioe]

Is that DS the new one that cannot use the R4 card?

No. The new one is the DSi, and isn't even available in North America yet.

Do you happen to have a PS3 pluged in it? If yes, does it work well?:)

The last few times I ordered from Dell it came the very next day. So I don't see why it wouldn't be the same with this. Anyone wanna split on a DS 2 pack? :razz:

I might go to Sig and see if I can pick up a DS bundle that comes with Kingston 4gb micro SD, screen protector, headphones and TT card I believe. I know DX sells this TT card for $7, how does it compare to a R4 or M3? I sold my DS over a year ago and wonder what is the best one to get in terms of compatibility?

[Samwfive]

Slight off topic:

I am interested in the HDMI switcher....what if it doesn't work to my liking? How in the world do I return to Dell? By mail? Drop off at one of the closet brick-n-mortar store?

[guhboogi]

Does anyone know if BB or FS would price match this for different colours?
Or are they really strict about things like colours?

*talking bout the nintendo DS bundle* Blah!

[Majoram]

Pricematch does not apply to bundles or limited time offers.
It is stated in their policy.

On the other hand people have been able to PM Dell Days before as well as bundles. So it's YMMV

You would call Dell, and they would direct you as to their return procedure. They don't have any brick-n-mortar stores.

[sc888888]

Do you happen to have a PS3 pluged in it? If yes, does it work well?:)

Thanks.

No, I don't have a PS3 or Xbox 360 to test. All my connections are 1080i. Sorry can't help.

In terms of compatibility ... and the overall package, IMO, is the CycloDS Evolution currently.

However, I paid ~ 50 plus 5 ship through one of our RFD guys in Toronto, www.systemgears.com, when they had their sale a 3-4 months ago for end of summer.

I love it, works right out of the box, no muss or fuss, whereas the dsst I picked up from dx has to be massaged and set up properly before you get it to work (install menu software etc ...), not sure about updates with it as well, but the price was right.

[Cartman_guy]

I need an HDMI switcher that has a digital optical (or coax I guess) output. It needs to extract the audio from the HDMI stream from the PS3 and/or Xbox and send it to my Logitech Z-5500. I don't think this one has that, but does anybody know for sure? :?:

I don't get what you are trying to do here... it basically works with your exisiting set up when you plug in the HDMI into the TV and the sound comes out on your TV or your speaker if you have an audio out from your TV.

I have M3DSR and DSTT. I've seen some games not working on DSTT while they work well in M3DSR, and new M3 iSakuReal v1.2 firmware for M3DSR is really amazing.

But I will still buy another DSTT for $7 and hope for new firmware for DSTT. :D (no no >$30)

My tv, Sharp LC42D64U, has an optical audio out, but I've never been able to get it to work. I can't figure it out. And right now I just can't sit here and explain it all, plus that would be like thread-jacking. I don't want to be a thread-jacker.:|

[adamm]

maybe I might be asking for trouble, but is anyone interested in splitting the cost of the two Nintendo DS's. I only need one and I don't want to spend the regular price for one at the store -- $130.

PM me if you're interested. :)

[mc_molineux]

My tv, Sharp LC42D64U, has an optical audio out, but I've never been able to get it to work. I can't figure it out.

On most TVs, the optical out will only send the audio from the TV's own tuner, not from external sources (cable/sat box, movie player, etc.).

[superdave]

Bah I put my order in for the NDS and the ship date is the 18th. I was told by Dell that it's already on backorder. So no clue if it will arrive before xmas :(

This round of Dell's DoD's is half over and nothing even tempting as come up yet that I would consider buying......Probably better to wait for the Boxing Day sales now anyway.:)

[lpsaad]

Lol im impressed at their crap deals. With the economy in such horrible shape, they should be selling better deals.

[Bob Lawbla]

Seems the DS deal is sold out. I don understand though how I can now order it at regular price if that is so.

**Nvrmind. Showing as sold out now.

[thefeebster]

I don't know if its been mentioned before and it isn't part of the DoD, but is the red hot deal of the day is the UltraSharp 2709W 27-inch Widescreen Flat Panel LCD Monitor. I remember reading a bunch of ppl wanted it during the first few days, but i don't know if the price is right for you all.

It is currently on sale for $659.00, which seems pretty good. Anyways, heres the link :

I don't think this one has that, but does anybody know for sure? :?:Just put the HDMI straight to the TV and use an optical cable for sound coming straight out of your 360/PS3. You can set which wire to use for video and which wire to use for audio in your XMB and Dashboard.

does Dell ever have xps on sale during the Deal days?

Add shipping, exchange rate, and customs fees and Dell deal is better. Otherwise monoprice stuff is great.

thank u very much for the info

[Pumped'Up]

Garbage sale.

Yep monoprice is awesome. Bought all my component and hdmi cables from them. Shipping can take a while though since it's originating from California (correct?) or somewhere in the west.

[chaingunsofdoom]

Anyone have any reviews on the HDMI switcher?
Got mine in the mail yesterday. Not bad so far. Very lightweight - having the 4 cords in the back might actually lift it up. I replaced a Monoprice 2x1 which was unpowered (this one is powered). HD Picture from Blu-Ray & Bell both looked fine to me.
