Scope the sweet deal: went to Best Buy today and snagged that new Reservoir Dogs SE which is currently marked down to $15.99 (Mr. Pink, of course), plus, now until the 31st, they toss in an instant $5 giftcard.

Wednesday when Mario hits he'll be going for $49.99 (a bargain at twice the price). However, Best Buy is including a $25 giftcard by mail with each purchase. Factor in that fat $5 card, and they're practically givin' these babies away at $19.99! You can't afford not to get one.

Available as snazzy (and also free) wallpaper:

Back from that San Diego Comic-Con and whoooo-lordy was it the whup. The whole thing felt like being inside Christmas Eve. Look for the full skinny to be posted up shortly.

And rubbin', son, is racin'.
Why were we not sent the memo on these Tomy Bit Char-G mini remote control cars? Two inches long and customizable with various tire sets, gear/axles, motors, body styles, "booster" controls, etc. The cars house a micro NiCad battery that delivers a heart-pounding four minutes of racing action before requiring a forty-five second recharge. Hear tell the larger engines can crank it up to 2.5mph...

As if that wasn't enough, they even make Mario Kart versions- Mario and m'man Yoshi!
