Just when you thought you’d seen it all, Amazon launches a new promotion it calls Customer Votes in which you the customer get to vote on a huge discount it will offer for a very limited time. Three of the four options sound interesting: Mongoose Mountain Bike for $30, Barbie for $10, and Prime Membership + $100 Certificate for $40. But, the one that stands out, and clearly leads with nearly 87% of the votes is an Xbox 360 Core System (usually $300) for $100(!).
So, how do you get in on this deal? Well, first, go vote to ensure that the Xbox 360 wins (unless you prefer a $10 Barbie, of course). Then go to this page on Thursday, November 23, at 11 AM Pacific (that’s 2 PM Eastern) and try to be one of the first 1,000 to order. If it sounds to good to be true, that’s because it’s too good and it’s true. Good luck!

Amazon will have the Nintendo Wii available for purchase the morning of Saturday 11/19 for $250. You can only purchase one and inventory will disappear very quickly. In fact, request for availability notices were 100 more than the number of consoles they’ll have.
Even though the first batch will disappear quickly, expect more inventory to arrive soon. To make sure you don’t miss out on these opportunities, we’ve embedded an Amazon Nintendo Wii product page and store in this post and at https://shopperism.com/wii. Bookmark either of these links and check often to see if available (I’m guessing you better get used to constantly hitting the refresh button). If it appears quickly click the buy button and it will take you through Amazon’s purchase process.

 The 2006 Midterm Elections have finally arrived and its our day to exercise our civic duty and vote and shop. Here are our election picks (no: candidates, yes: The Candidate).
For the best news coverage (real or fake) we recommend The Daily Show’s “Midterm Midtacular” which promises to bring humor, sarcasm, and reality to this election season. I’m sure The Colbert Report will have its own unique perspective on the day’s results. If humor is not your thing, then check out the latest Political Podcasts where politicians share heir thoughts on today’s political happenings.
If you prefer the calmness and serenity of a book then settle in and enjoy the many political books that are currently on the New York Times Non-Fiction Best Sellers List. But, if you still crave some visuals, then explore alternate political realities found in The West Wing, 24, and The Candidate. For a behind the scenes look at the political process, don’t miss The War Room and Journeys With George.

One of the hottest gifts for this holiday season is a puppy. Not a real puppy who needs to be fed and walked, but rather a robotic one which lives on 4 AA batteries and can be turned off. The Tekno Robotic Puppy is an expressive robot who can walk around, wag his tail, and react by lighting up his eyes and shaking his ears. His sensors allow him to respond to your voice, walk towards and play with objects, make sounds, avoid obstacles, and just enjoy being scratched. Like a real dog, Tekno learns and develops new moves and sounds as you spend more time with him. Before you know it, you’ll grow attached to this little robotic mutt and you too will light up in joy when he pulls off a new move.
Recommended for kids and adults ages 3 and up, Tekno is a great holiday gift to have around the home or even the office. Tekno comes with a plastic bone, a ball, and trick cards and is available in several colors: Silver, Black, and Pearl White. A Dalmatian version is available exclusively at Toys R Us.

 With only days to go before Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan arrives at movie theaters, the soundtrack is now officially available at iTunes and Amazon.
The movie documents the adventures of reporter Borat Sagdiyev (AKA British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen AKA Ali G AKA BrĂ¼no), Kazakhstan’s sixth most famous man, who travels to the U.S. to make a documentary for the state-run TV network. Through encounters with unsuspecting locals, Borat manages to offend every person alive and make us laugh until we cry. The soundtrack captures some of the humor from the movie with favorites such as “In My Country There Is Problem (Throw the Jew Down the Well)” and a very different interpretation of “Born to be Wild“. Additionally, the album includes five audio skits from the movie while the actual CD also contains five minutes of exclusive video outtakes.
Borat (Soundtrack) | $9.90 (iTunes) | $12.97 (Amazon)

One of the many hidden benefits of Amazon is that their mobile phone store offers significant rebates and discounts that push many of the most popular phones down to a penny or zero dollars. In fact, some phones will even result in money back ranging from $20 to $149.
We’ve looked through the site and are providing you with a chart listing mosts of the popular phones available for “free”. Each provider and phone has different terms so please make sure you read the details. You will probably be required to sign up for a new contract or in some cases extend your existing contract. If you’re a Sprint customer, don’t forget to call them and make sure you can cancel your contract.
