IZ3D's 22-inch 3D LCD monitor finally hits the B&M scene
It's mildly amusing that up until now, your only option when buying IZ3D's 22-inch 3D LCD monitor was to buy it on a decidedly 2D website. At long last, the recently cheapened (now $399) display has hit the brick and mortar realm, with both Fry's Electronics and Micro Center agreeing to carry it. The move is just one more in the inevitable push to get 3D in the home, and we have all ideas that it'll be joined by a number of others after CES '09 is all wrapped up. Feel free to drop by one of the aforesaid retailers to check this thing out in person, but we'll warn you, those frightened by 3D glasses need not apply. Full release (including specs) is after the break.
GTA IV dated 'March 08' in Micro Center ad
Leading game retailer Two-bit computer and electronics chain Micro Center has taken Grand Theft Auto IV's target release window – between Feb. and April, 2008 – and divided it in half: "March 08," declares the store's new circular. While GameDaily recommends we leave our calendars open for Saturday, March 8th, we're pretty certain Micro Center's "08" is an abbreviation for '2008,' and further evidence that no one knows exactly when to expect GTA IV. Do yourself a favor: don't be that guy who drives all night to Mayfield Heights, Ohio, arriving during the wee hours of the 8th, only to find a few eager campers for Smash Bros.
Micro Center offers convoluted process for two free games
If you're in the market for a new DS Lite and happen to have one of Micro Center's 21 US locations nearby, this might be the deal for you! Starting yesterday and lasting until this Christmas, the computer retailer will hand out two coupons, each one redeemable for a free DS game, used or new, to anyone who picks up a Nintendo DS Lite in-store.Cashing in those coupons is where this bargain starts to get complicated, however. One of them can only be exchanged during the month of December, whereas the other is only valid during January. Also, the game is only free if its value is $29.99 or less. Any more than that, and the coupons will just subtract $29.99 from its list price. This sounds way more elaborate than it needs to be, but knowing the ridiculous lengths that gamers often go to for free stuff, we're sure that some of you will still take advantage of the sale.[Via CAG]
Micro Center's Xbox 360 Pres. Day sale
Micro Center is whipping out the impressive Xbox 360 deals again with their President's Day sale. As reported by our sister site Xbox 360 Fanboy, a wireless controller for $20 is a great deal. The best investment on the flyer is certainly the Quick Charge Kit -- although the fanboys don't recommend the Intercooler. The sale is only this Monday, so if you've got a Micro Center in your area, these really are some pretty sweet deals.
Micro Center: $20 wireless controller and more
President's Day is Monday and that means one thing ... great shopping deals! To kickstart the sales Micro Center is offering a few nice Xbox 360 deals including a wireless controller for $19.99, a HD-DVD drive for $169.99 and a $50 gift card with the purchase of a Xbox 360 premium bundle. And stay away from that Intercooler guys. Be forewarned though, this offer is only good in-store and only on Monday, February 19th. See, we always knew there was a good reason to celebrate President's Day.[Thanks, Jason]
Snag a Premium 360 for $200?
The Micro Center rebate saga continues this week. First, they announced the $100 360 rebate (Core or Premium). Next, they extended the deal through the holidays. And now, it seems you can knock off another $100 by employing a little trickery. Signing up for a Micro Center credit card and making a purchase of $399 will net you enough redeemable points to claim a $100 check. For those keeping score, that's $200 off the price of a Premium pack, effectively dropping the price to $199 ... high five! It should be noted that we don't have confirmation that this will work, but considering the credit card deal applies to purchases of $399, it seems like it was actually made specifically for this purpose.Remember, you might have to hoof it quite a ways, though, as there are only 19 Micro Center locations in the US. Our advice: make a detour (or twelve) on your way to grandma's house for the holidays.[Thanks, Dave Zatz]
$100 rebate extended through Christmas
Our mutant overlords at Joystiq are reporting that the Micro Center $100 rebate deal we reported earlier this month has been extended to December 31st. For those who don't recall, the deal applies to both Core and Premium 360 bundles. We suspect the deal is legit, though the official rebate page has not yet been updated with the new dates. So, if you're still on the fence about the 360 (or looking for a good gift idea), you've got some more time to think it over. Remember though, there are only 19 Micro Center locations in the US, so you might want to see what the real price is after you factor in gas and tolls.[Via Joystiq]
$100 Xbox 360 mail-in rebate from Micro Center
With only 19 retail store locations nationwide, this may involve a road trip -- be sure to call ahead for availability.Micro Center is offering up a $100 mail-in rebate for Xbox 360 (Premium or Core) purchases. The catch, your 'box can only be copped in-store (not online) between November 12 (last Sunday) and December 3. It's also worth noting that the rebate could take up to 3 months to process. Still, for those of you in the gift-giving business, this is a bargain not to be missed.
