I never buy something compulsively. Okay, that may not completely true but if it's something worthwhile I spend a good deal of time researching it. I visit manufacturer websites, review sites, blog sites, and stores to make sure what I'm buying is worth it. Everything I post on my website has AT LEAST ONE REPUTABLE THIRD-PARTY REVIEW, otherwise I can't recommend it.

SonyWalkman 8GB Video MP3 Player  Deal

Sony - Walkman 8GB Video MP3 Player

cnet.com Review:
The good: The Sony E-Series Walkman is very competitively priced and features a compact design with a nice, bright screen.

PanasonicKX-TG6700B 5.8 Ghz Cordless Phone Two-line Expandable Phone System Deal

Panasonic - KX-TG6700B 5.8 Ghz Cordless Phone Two-line Expandable Phone System

howstuffworks.com Review:
Expandable up to 8 handsets total, the KX-TG6700B is a reliable cordless system for large homes and small offices. One handset is included with the system, and although only two lines are supported, the system has more-than-ample message space on its 60-minute digital answering machine. Unfortunately, however, messages cannot be diverted to separate mailboxes. Phone numbers can be dialed form the 50-contact telephone directory, or calls can be made from the 50-entry caller ID log. The handset is also equipped with a built-in speakerphone.

Call clarity and range for the handsets are good, and because the 5.8GHz frequency is utilized, one doesn't need to worry about interference with Wi-Fi networks. Meanwhile, due to the Ni-MH battery, one also needn't be concerned about memory effect when recharging. Other features include: 3-way conferencing, remote message retrieval, page, and message waiting indicators on the handsets' antennae.

Pros: Expandable, good range and clarity
Cons: Only one mailbox

Polk AudioPSW125 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer  Deal

Polk Audio - PSW125 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer

howstuffworks.com Review:
The Polk Audio PSW125 subwoofer is a good value if you are looking to beef up your home theater's low end. Readily available at major retailers throughout the United States, the PSW125 adds extra punch to your music and seat-shaking rumble to your movies.

The PSW125's cabinet encloses a 12-inch Dynamic Balance composite woofer in a downward-firing position. The vented cabinet has a round, non-removable black steel grill surrounded by a subtle graphite-colored ring. This makes for a somewhat industrial or pro-audio style that might not appeal to everyone, but with this design, there won't be any little hands damaging the speaker cone. The PSW125 weighs in at just over 40 pounds and is available in cherry and black veneer finishes.

Yamaha - YST-FSW100 6.5" 130-Watt Powered Sub-woofer

The bad: The baby boomer lacks the muscle of full-size subs.
The bottom lineThe bottom line: Yamaha's pint-size YST-FSW100 subwoofer is the ideal partner for its Digital Sound Projector virtual surround speakers.  ...read more
