... Roku N1100 Wireless HD Media Player. There aren't a lot of reviews out there for this one. The company website has a lot of glowing reviews for you to read, but I'm pretty sure they're a little biased. Still, it's good food for thought. Just keep in mind that a refurb from a brand you've never heard of (aka Roku HD Player) isn't nearly as safe a bet as a refurb on a great HD media player from a well-known brand. Even if you can get it for only $59.99.

So all the linkage above is to OTHER 2.5" LCD monitors of the widescreen variety. Enjoy that.

... Soundmatters MainStage HD HiFi Theatre Console. This one is interesting. Can't find much on this brand in general. The Soundmatters MainStage HD HiFi Theatre Console reviews are basically nonexistent online. If anyone finds any, please help me out. Nite nite.

the Sellout.Woot today is a Hitachi DZ-BD7HA 30GB Blu-Ray HDD/DVD Camcorder (good woot); the Wine.Woot is a Wellington Port Vertical Trio (yumminess from 2003, 2004 & 2005); and the Shirt.Woot is called "Stuck Inside" (nice design - but too serious for me).

... Pinnacle PCTV HD Mini Stick for Mac and PC. I like how woot is breaking out the big guns for the last minute XMas/Chanukah gifts. Although the Pinnacle PCTV HD Mini Stick reviews aren't that great, I think I've heard some decent things about Pinnacle PCTV products in general. SO, I wouldn't make my decision based on hype alone. Pinnacle is an okay brand. Shopzilla seems to have some competitive prices too.

p.s. the Sellout.Woot today is a Sandisk e280 8GB Media Player with FM Tuner and Voice Recorder (very solid gift); the Wine.Woot is a Clos La Chance Trio - 2005 Chrimson Topaz Meritage, 2006 Buff-Bellied Zinfandel, 2006 Estate Grenache (sounds tasty); and the Shirt.Woot is called "Nuclear Winter" (kinda amusing, but mostly lame).

... Canon HV20 High Definition Camcorder. A high def camcorder isn't a bad idea these days. Preserving memories today. Making horrible, low budget, skater videos of your kids in ten years. I really think this camcorder will last at least that long. The in-laws have this one. The Amazon reviewers and the CNET reviewers agree with me. It's refurbished though, so be careful with this Canon HV20 High Definition Camcorder. Just not too careful, cuz it's a good woot if you have the cash.

***btw, I forgot to mention that I was going to be on vacation in Vegas for a few days. You all probably noticed though. I didn't win, but I didn't lose much in the end. It was fun. Thanks for asking. Hehe.
