Got my email yesterday from MS. A cool 500 MS points and a ’special’ gamerpic, yeah!
Microsoft (cutting it rather close to their December 21st deadline) just sent out the promised LIVE is 5IVE 500 Microsoft point gift to Xbox Live subscribers who’ve been subscribed since 2002. If you registered for your gift last month and are a legit member of the Xbox Live class of 2002 then check your inbox, because your 500 Microsoft point code should be there. And as an added bonus, Microsoft also threw in a special “Founding Member” LIVE is 5IVE gamer picture download code as well. Spend your 500 Microsoft points wisely, sport your new gamer picture with pride and take comfort in knowing that your five year, $250 total subscription hasn’t gone un-noticed.

 PriceSpider works much like WishRadar that we mentioned last week, except PriceSpider focuses exclusively on electronics, and searches more sites. You choose the product and set a target price, and when it sees that price somewhere online, it sends you an alert.
PriceProtectr will help you take advantage of any price-matching guarantees at 72 different stores. “If we notice the price drop any time within the price protection period, we’ll send an email your way (and we’ll keep sending them if the price keeps dropping).”
The founder of Spendfish has a collection of deal-related websites posted on his personal blog. It’s a great place to start if you’re not sure where else to look.

With all the buying that goes on this time of year, our aging gadgets seem older, more out-of-date, and just plain obsolete in the face of all the shiny new toys glimmering on the display rack—which, of course, is part of what motivates us to pry open our wallets for newer and better stuff. But this year, instead of forking over more cash to the likes of Jobs and Gates for their newest toys, we’re taking a look at several ways to make your old gadgets new again. From the iPod and Xbox to a run-of-the-mill PC, chances are you’ve got something lying around the house that could use a free or cheap upgrade. |

 After about a month of beta testing the new Flickr Uploadr 3.0, the software is finally available for download in its complete and official package. Get it here. We first caught wind of the new Uploadr last month, when public beta testing began.You may remember that the big ado in regards to this latest version is its ability to tweak, rearrange, modify, tag and organize your images before uploading them to the site. It gives you far more control over your pictures, and minimizes the amount of editing time you need to do online, once you’ve in fact added the images to your Flickr account. |
