Welcome to the Hot Deals Club, a collection of websites and RSS feeds built by deal seekers. Unlike other sites that claim advertisements to be "deals" so they can make a quick buck, our goal is to only show the hottest deals available because we love hot deals. We only post deals that we truly feel are hot deals, which is why our users call us the most trusted deals portal site on the Internet. Each deal can expire anytime after post and without notice, and most comments are based on years of experience. If you wish to send an email or submit a hot-deal to the Hot Deals Maniac, use

Walmart.com - Exergen Temporal Thermometer $33

3. Within 15 minutes, you should be able to view your trip details on your phone.
It displays your confirmation numbers for easy access when needed, which can come in very handy when checking in at the airport kiosks where a confirmation number is the easiest way to get your boarding pass. They also keep you posted on scheduling changes and send checkin reminders.

If you want to keep family posted on your travel arrangements, forward your confirmation emails to them, and have them re-forward the emails to their trips@kayak.com account. They will receive email updates on the status and arrival times of your flight via email and from the mobile phone's app.

Staples.com - Western Digital Portable 500GB Drive for $80
Western Digital WDME5000TN Portable 500GB USB Hard Drive for $80 with free shipping. It's a great drive with good reviews. It's likely on sale because a newer version has been released, replacing this older model, however the newer version has worse reviews.

It's a very small portable drive, capable of fitting inside a jacket pocket. Only the included USB cable is needed; no power cable necessary.

JR.com - JVC 32" LCD 1080p HDTV with iPod Dock for $424
JVC LT-32P300 32" LCD 1080p HDTV with 6ms response time, 3 HDMI inputs, 1 VGA input, 2 component video inputs, and Teledock for $424 with free shipping. Native contrast ratio is a little low at 1500:1 true contrast, 3700:1 dynamic. Their "Teledock" is designed for mounting an iPod on the TV, for playing video, audio, and photos while charging the iPod. Page 13 on this Teledock info shows the only iPods compatible with this TV, including iPod, iPod 4G/5G, Touch, Nano 1G/2G/3G/4G, and iPod Mini. The FAQ on page 15 says it is not iPhone compatible.

Even without the iPod dock, $424 is a pretty good deal for a 1080p 32" TV. Some reviews are good, some reviews are fair.

Walmart.com - Blu-Ray Player for $79
(repost)

Magnavox Blu-Ray Disc Player for $78 plus about $1 shipping. In-store pickup is not available. It's a very basic player with only decent reviews.

Other Blu-Ray Player deals:
- Sylvania NB530SLX Blu-Ray Player for $100 from Amazon. Pretty good reviews.
- Toshiba BDX2000 Blu-Ray Player for $115 from BuyDig. Has BD-Live and mostly positive reviews.
- Sony BDP-S360 Blu-Ray Player for $117 from Amazon. Has BD-Live, and usually sells for around $140 to $150.
Players with a built-in Ethernet networking interface, for BD-Live and streaming online video content:
- Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-Ray Player for $148 from Onecall. Supports Viera Cast for watching Youtube videos.
- LG BD-370 Blu-Ray Player for $160 from Amazon. Supports Netflix/CinemaNow/Youtube streaming video, and pretty good reviews.
Beware of some deals floating around on refurbished Blu-Ray players, which have a greater chance of breaking.

Dell.com - mini mobile photo printer for $28
Dell Wasabi Mobile PZ310 Photo Printer with 48 pack of paper for $28 with free shipping. It requires special photo paper, and comes with 48 sheets. Additional 48 sheets cost $8 each, and does have free shipping right now even if it's the only item in your order.

It's designed to print photos directly from a mobile phone via Bluetooth wireless, or printing photos directly from a digital camera through its USB interface. Most of the reviews are positive.

Staples.com - Epson NX515 Printer/Scanner with wifi for $70
Epson NX515 Printer & Flatbed Scanner for $70 with free shipping. It has an ethernet port and wifi support, allowing any computer on your wired or wireless network to print and scan without plugging a USB cable directly into the computer. Other stores sell it for around $100, to as much as $150.

Newegg.com - D-Link Internet Security Device for $12
D-Link DSD-150 looks like an interesting network device, to help filter and protect computers from harmful websites and protect kids from content they shouldn't see. Looks like a good deal since it usually costs around $70, however best to read the reviews before buying. Reviewers love the content filtering feature to protect their kids from bad web content, but dislike the client web software for spam/spyware filtering.

Newegg.com - BlacX Hard Drive Docking Station $23
Thermaltake BlacX USB Docking Station for Serial-ATA Hard Drives for $23 today only. USB cable included. Allows you to plug in (and out) any Serial-ATA hard drive (2.5" or 3.5"), for storing, backing up, and archiving files. This is really useful for people who need to transfer large amounts of data between locations and don't want to pay a premium for a portable drive, or for archiving old music, videos, and personal files onto hard drives.

Many large capacity Serial-ATA drives cost around $0.07 to $0.15 per GB (around $90 for a 1000 GB drive). Laptop drives cost about double per GB.

Gone are the days of storing large amounts of cassette tapes of music, DVDs of movies & music files, and videotapes of home videos of the kids. Since everything is digital these days, you can simply store (or backup) all your home movies, digital photos, and music files onto a Serial-ATA hard drive. Eject the drive, place it into an anti-static bag, and keep it on the top shelf of your closet, a locked drawer, or in a safe for safe-keeping. Re-insert the drive whenever you need those files again.

This BlacX (like most USB devices) will copy files at about 22 MBytes/sec, about 1.2GB per minute, or about 70GB per hour. If you plan to fill a 1TB (1000GB) hard drive, expect it to take around 13 hours. If that is too slow and you do have a desktop PC, we strongly recommend looking into a BlacX eSATA hard drive docking station for $33 with free shipping from Chiefvalue. eSATA cable included. Optionally available is Western Digital Black 1TB drive as a bundle on that page for $90 more, a pretty good deal since that drive usually costs $100. This BlacX has both USB and eSATA, and most stores usually sell this BlacX for at least $45. Most desktop PC's have no eSATA port, but a Serial-ATA to eSATA bracket can be purchased for $7 after shipping fee, or this eSATA bracket (longer internal cables) from Newegg for $11 after shipping fee. Depending on the drive, eSATA transfers at about 40 to 85 MBytes/sec, about 4GB per minute, or about 250GB per hour. An entire 1TB drive can be transferred in about 4 hours. Hot-pluggable eSATA/Serial-ATA is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs.

Those speeds are based on regular 3.5" drives manufactured within the last 4 years. Tiny laptop 2.5" drives perform about half to one-third these speeds.

HandHeldItems.com - iPhone extended battery for $26
(repost)

$25, then code hhiapocket1750 gives $5 off in the cart, plus $6 shipping. It not only increases the battery time of the phone, but it also increases the size of the iPhone making it less convenient to put in your pocket. But the reviews are pretty good.

Buy.com - Hitachi 2TB Serial-ATA Hard Drive $155
(repost)

Hitachi 2TB 7200rpm Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $155 with free shipping. Pretty good deal at $0.08 per GB, and most other stores sell it for around $167.

Dell.com - Logitech V550 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Laptops $30
Logitech V550 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Laptop Computers for $56 with free shipping, and coupon B8KGRS83$4583W gives $26 off in the cart. Most stores sell it for around $50 and has really good reviews.

Dell.com - Vizio 47" LCD 1080p HDTV and wall-mount for $850
Vizio VT470M 47" 1080p LCD HDTV for $849 with free shipping. Also includes a tiltable wall-mounting plate. Most stores sell just this TV for at least $100 more, without a wall-mounting plate.

Wall-mounting a TV and hiding the wires look very clean and cool. To install the wall-mounting plate, you need a stud finder to locate at least 2 studs in the wall, a bubble level, and a power drill. Flat plates (like the one included) will work with large TVs and either wood or metal wall studs. Note that putting a 37" or greater TV on a wall plate with an extendable arm may cause damage to metal studs, which is why a flat plate such as this is safer for mounting a large screen TV in homes with metal studs. Additionally, there may be certain fire-code restrictions when running an electrical cord through the wall, so consulting an electrician is strongly recommended before running wires through the wall. Also if you rent your place rather than own, check with the landlord for permission to drill into the studs.

Newegg.com - LG 47" LCD 1080p Wireless 120Hz HDTV $1030
LG 47LH85 47" Wireless 1080p 120Hz HDTV for $1000 plus $30 shipping. Most stores sell it for at least $1200. Connect your TV sources to a media box and place somewhere in the room, and it wirelesly transmits the video to the TV. Only the power cable is needed to plug directly into the TV. This is really designed with wall-mounting in mind.

Friday, February 5, 2010

Dell.com - Inspiron 13" Laptop for $412
Inspiron 13" Laptop in Blue with Dual Core T4300 2.1GHz processor, Windows Vista, 160GB hard drive, 2GB memory, 4-cell battery, webcam, CD/DVD Burner, and wireless-g for $399 plus $13 shipping. Upgrading to a Core 2 Duo T6600 processor adds $75.

Amazon.com - Bioshock 2 game & $10 game credit for $47 or $56
(repost)
- Bioshock 2 for PC for $47
- Bioshock 2 for Xbox 360 for $55
- Bioshock 2 for Playstation 3 for $56
This is a pre-order, which ships in a few days. A $10 coupon toward a future Amazon game purchase is added to your account 2 days after your order ships.

Immediately after purchase of Bioshock 2, you may receive another coupon code valid for $5 credit on TV video on demand, which is not to be confused with the $10 future game credit which you will receive later.

Bioshock 2 has good previews, and some videos can be seen on their website.

The first Bioshock game was rated as one of the best first-person-shooter games of all time. Since Bioshock 2 is a sequel to the original, playing Bioshock before buying Bioshock 2 is cheap and is recommended. If you don't like Bioshock, you probably won't like Bioshock 2.

- PS3: Bioshock for Playstation 3 for $20 from Newegg
- Xbox 360: Bioshock for Xbox 360 for $20 from Newegg

Thursday, February 4, 2010

Newegg.com - deals today
- Flat Space Heater for $48 with coupon HEAT2412 . It says "wall mounted" in the title, but should read "wall mountable" since its flat design should work mounted on a wall, should you decide to do so. It also has wheels to keep it on the floor.
- Klipsch SW-350 Subwoofer for $350, then apply coupon FREEGFT24 to the cart to get a free Energy 5-Speaker Package. Most other stores sell just the subwoofer without any speakers for around $350.
- AVG Internet Security for $20. A pretty good deal since normal price is around $55. Renewal price is unknown after the first year expires, but it's possible it could be $20 or $30.

Newegg.com - Garmin 285WT GPS for $107
(expired)

Garmin Nuvi 285WT Portable/Vehicle GPS for $125 plus $2 shipping, and coupon 24HRSALE23D gives $20 off in the cart. A pretty good since since every other store sells it for at least $125. It includes a MSN traffic subscription for 9 months, afterward a fee applies to continue to receive traffic updates.

If you want lifetime traffic with the GPS, an older model Garmin Nuvi 255WT includes free lifetime traffic from Navteq and goes for $170 at BestBuy stores, or add $7 for home delivery. Apparently MSN and Navteq get their traffic updates from the same source, so the traffic updates should be identical on the 255WT and the 285WT.

Dell.com - computer speakers for $9
(expired)

Dell AX210 Stereo Speakers for $9 with free shipping. Appears to be a pretty nice deal if you're looking for simple speakers with good reviews, without paying a lot. It has a regular 3.5mm stereo audio plug, and powers through a computer's USB port instead of a regular power outlet making it a little easier to use with a desktop or laptop computer. The USB power means it's harder to use with an iPod or portable music player, so this is really designed for use with a computer.

You can plug a wired ethernet cable from this player to your router, or buy a wireless adapter add-on to connect wirelessly to your wireless router.

Buy.com - 6-Outlet Swiveling Surge Protector for $10
Philips 6-Outlet Swiveling Surge Strip for $10 with free shipping. Other stores usually sell it for around $20. Apparently the "swivel" just means it has a swivel handle for easy hanging and cord management, so basically it's designed for use in garages and work rooms.

Newegg.com - 7" Portable TV for $70
(expired)

Viore 7" Portable LCD TV (PLC7V95) for $70 with free shipping. It has a built-in digital tuner (ATSC), and includes a rechargeable battery, power adapter, magnetic antenna, and remote control. Most of the reviews are positive, and could be a good deal for someone who plans to be away from a regular/home TV next Sunday but still wants to catch the Colts/Saints football game.

It has a 1.5 hour battery life, so some people may find it useful at tailgate parties and picnics. Also has a built-in USB port and Secure Digital card reader for playing digital photos (jpg), videos (divx), and music (mp3).

JetBlue.com Outage This Weekend: FYI for anyone traveling on JetBlue Airways this weekend, or planning to buy airline tickets this weekend. JetBlue plans to take their website down for much of the weekend, likely beginning during the evening of Jan 29, and coming back online doing the morning of Feb 1. Booking travel, looking up existing reservations, online check-in, changing seats, and researching flights will likely not work for you this weekend, so best to use their website today to avoid frustration this weekend.

ChaCha: A free text messaging service which helps answer any question you have. Text a question to CHACHA (242242), and wait up to 5 minutes to receive a response.

Note they are advertising based, and often respond with 1 or 2 texts (one with your answer, another with an ad beginning with a *). One question and two responses total 3 text messages which go against your current cell phone plan, so be aware fees may apply unless you have available texts on your plan.

This could be very useful to help solve problems when no computer is nearby, however keep in mind it is only meant to help and is not a reliable service since some information my not be entirely accurate. In our example, we asked, "how long has the simpsons TV show been on TV?" They replied with an ad beginning with an asterisk (*), then their answer. They answered with a correct date of the show's first airing, however their answer that it has aired "almost 19 years and is in its 20th season" is incorrect, since December of 1989 was 20 years and 1 month ago and the show is currently half way through its 21st season. Cool service, but just don't take its word as fact.

This is a new kind of HDTV, designed for easy wall-mounting since you only need to plug in a power cord. Place the included media box somewhere in the room, plug all the TV sources into the box (cable or satellite TV, Blu-Ray player, gaming system, etc) and it wirelessly transmits an uncompressed 1080p signal to the TV. Most reviews of this new kind of HDTV are positive. Sony is also expected to release a similar wireless TV soon. Keep in mind electricity is still needed for any HDTV, so wall-mounting may require an electrician to run a power outlet to that spot on the wall.
- Samsung 46" LED 1080p 120Hz HDTV (UN46B7000) for $1700 with coupon EMCLMMS39 . Most other stores sell it for around $2030. LED is technically better than LCD, but the jury is still out on whether this and other LED HDTVs are worth the premium price.

Dell.com - Western Digital 500GB Portable USB Drive $72
Western Digital Elements 500GB Portable USB Drive for $80, and coupon HJZT256$XXP$TH gives 5% off ($72). It's just a 500GB laptop (2.5") drive inside a shell, and connects to a computer through an included USB to USB-mini cable. Does not require a power cable, and its small size is very portable. Most other stores sell it for around $100.

With small size and portability also comes mediocre performance. All drives like this transfer about 1GB per minute (about 60GB per hour), so it could take several hours if you plan to fill this 500GB drive. If you do need that much storage quickly, might be best to find a Thermaltake BlacX and use a regular 3.5" Serial-ATA hard drive.

Update (1pm EST): Added coupon HJZT256$XXP$TH to above info, for 5% off.
