CircuitCity.com - APC 550VA UPS for $40
APC BE550G Surge/Battery Backup UPS for $40 with free shipping. It has mostly positive reviews, and every other store sells it for at least $55 especially after factoring in high shipping prices for this heavy item.

The UPS can protect a computer & monitor from power surges and outages. If a power outage lasts longer than a half hour, its included software & cable can tell the computer to shut itself down gracefully to avoid data loss. This UPS can also be used to protect other important devices from a loss of power, such as an alarm clock, a fish tank's filter, or an LCD HDTV up to 47" (Plasmas may draw more power than a 550VA can handle). Keep in mind to not plug refrigerators and printers into the battery backup plugs. Also, although the UPS has 4 battery backup outlets, keep in mind the battery will last longer if you have fewer devices plugged into them.

For protecting devices with low power draw, such as alarm clocks, telephones, and DVRs, an APC 325VA UPS for $20, and coupon code KFAFKQZA4J gives 10% off ($18). Free shipping with $24+ orders, otherwise shipping costs $4. Coupon only applies toward 1 item in your cart.

CircuitCity.com - Onkyo TX-SR606 7.1 Receiver for $387
Onkyo TX-SR606 7.1 Channel A/V Receiver for $430 with free shipping. During checkout, enter promo code KFAFKQZA4J to get 10% off, making it $387. Coupon code entry is on the final checkout page, just above where it asks for a credit card number, click "Yes" next to the question, "Would you like to use an eGift card, gift card or merchandise card, or apply a coupon?"

Onkyo makes some of the best quality Receivers on the market, and other stores sell this one for over $430.

Update: Price raised by $10. Still a pretty good deal on a nice Receiver.

CircuitCity.com - APC 550VA UPS for $40 in-store
APC BE550R 550VA UPS for $40 with in-store pickup. Most stores sell it for over $50.

This UPS can protect a computer and monitor from power surges and outages lasting up to around 30 minutes. If a power outage continues, it can tell the computer to gracefully shutdown to avoid damage. A 550VA UPS can also be used to protect other important devices from a power outage, like an alarm clock, a fish tank's filter, or an LCD HDTV up to 47" (Plasmas may require more power than a 550VA can handle). The fewer devices plugged in to the UPS's battery outlets, the longer it will provide power during an outage.

CircuitCity.com - Crysis for PC $20
(expired: 4pm EDT, sold out)

Back in stock for today only at $20. Crysis is a popular first-person-shooter game for PC, and most other stores sell it for at least $36. The game was made by the creators of Far Cry - very similar but not as groundbreaking as Far Cry was when it came out, but Crysis has excellent reviews, and is well worth playing especially for $20. Here is a downloadable demo. A powerful graphics card is recommended to play this game.

Crysis is not the sequel to Far Cry. Far Cry 2 is slated for release this Fall.

Shipping costs $2, or free with a $24+ order. For example, add a 48-pack AAA batteries for $10 and total cost is $30 with free shipping, or a 50-pack CD/DVD Sleeves for $6 for a total cost of $26 with free shipping.

CircuitCity.com - Toshiba HD-DVD Player & 2 HD-DVDs for $80
Toshiba HD-A3 720p/1080i HD-DVD Player is on clearance for $80 with free shipping. It includes The Bourne Identity HD-DVD, and either 300 or Bourne Supremacy (depending on which clearance package they decide to send to you). More details on this particular model can be seen on Toshiba.com.

Lots of HD-DVD movies are on clearance at many stores for $10 to $15 each, such as DeepDiscount.com (scroll down on DeepDiscount's page to find lots of $10 and $12 HD-DVDs).

If you were already looking to spend $50 or $70 for an up-convert DVD player for your regular DVDs, might want to consider getting this HD-DVD player for $80 which can do up-convert, and get a couple HD-DVD titles with it. However, keep in mind HD-DVD is a dead format and few HD-DVD titles will be released in the future. When Blu-Ray players and movies come down in price, the resale value of HD-DVD players and movies will be very poor.

CircuitCity.com - Nintendo Wii with 3 Games for $400
(expired: sold out)

Nintendo Wii console system for $250, and requires you add 3 games at about $50 per game ($400 total price). It is difficult to find any online store selling the Nintendo Wii at retail price, so this is a good deal for someone still looking for one of these very popular game systems.
