For any avid PlayStation 3 users, this could be a good deal. Buy a PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller at Amazon.com for $43 and get a Frontman Wireless Guitar Free. Just add both the items to your cart and you will get the Frontman Wireless Guitar as a gift. The amount for the Frontman Wireless Guitar will be taken out at checkout. Not the best deal if you are look at the price of PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller but you will get a Frontman Guitar free of cost.

Here are a few PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller Specs:

• Pressure-sensitive buttons so that you can feel the controller vibrate with each hit, crash or explosion
• SIXAXIS™ highly sensitive motion technology. With this technology, the sensors read when a player angles, tilts, thrusts, or pulls the controller and applies those actions to the game. This technology is available in both the SisAxis wireless controller and the DualShock 3 wireless controller.
• Bluetooth technology allows the players to use the controller wirelessly
• Connects upto seven controllers multiplayer gaming.

While you are at it, why not get RealTriggers . $5 for a piece of plastic is a bit much but it will improve your gaming experience. Definitely worth it. As you can see on the image, the RealTriggers is placed on the R2 and L2 buttons for better grip. RealTriggers comes with free shipping if you use Amazon prime.

Everyone who has played a game on a PC knows how important a mouse is. Before we had access to optical mouse, we used to play games using a regular mouse with a trackball inside it. It was not the best mouse as the trackball would get dirty and the response of the mouse declined due to dirty stuck in it.

The optical mouse we use (I mean the basic ones) are not the best available mouse for gaming as the there are fewer buttons in it (right, left and scroll). There are optical mouse available that are specifically designed for PC gamers. Usually, these kind of gaming mouse cost a lot of money so not everyone can afford it and only die hard PC gamers get it even if it is highly priced. Well, here is a good deal for a Logitech MX518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse on Buy.com, costs $21.35 after rebates (rebate form here). At the Logitech’s official store, Logitech MX518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse costs $50 so I think this is a pretty good deal. Ok, here are some specifications for the Logitech MX518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse:

• Image Processing: 5.8 megapixels/second
• Resolution: 1800-dpi native, adjustable to 400- and 800-dpi
• Acceleration: 15-g
• Throughput: 16 bit/axis USB data format, and 125/sec USB report rate

Logitech MX518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse is not the best gaming optical mouse available on the market but its not that bad. There are almost nothing bad about this Logitech optical mouse except that it is designed for only right handed users. Logitech MX518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse has 1,600dpi optical sensor with five on-the-fly sensitivity buttons which can be programmed to suite your gaming needs.

There is another bonus Buy.com deal for you here. Logitech QuickCam Deluxe Webcam for Notebooks for $10 deal is back online. Get one fast before the stock runs out at buy.com.

I haven’t published a deal post lately so I decided to post a deal about this Toshiba Satellite Laptop. Best Buy has a sale on a Toshiba Satellite Laptop with Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor T2390 for $580. Not the best deal available but should be good enough for anyone looking for a medium range laptops for relatively cheap price. This Toshiba satellite laptop comes with an Intel Pentium Dual-Core T2390 1.86GHz processor with 533MHz frontside bus and 1MB L2 cache. Not the best possible processor available but should satisfy a basic user’s needs to at least three years to come before it needs to be replaced. Here are some of the specs for this Toshiba Satellite Laptop.

• 3GB of DDR2 RAM which can be expanded to 4GB
• DVD±RW/CD-RW drive with double-layer support

There are some of the basic specs you might want to know about this Toshiba Satellite laptop. Toshiba laptops are not the best or the most popular brand of laptops but some of the Toshiba’s laptops does the job quite well when you look at the hardware specifications. This toshiba satellite laptop in not the best laptop when you consider the design of this laptop but when you look at the specifications, the price is very reasonable. When considering the design of a laptop, HP are one of my favorite laptops. Apple Laptops are not bad either, apple laptops are very unique in design, simple, clean and very eye catching but Apple’s laptops are very expensive when compared to other laptops by different companies like HP, Dell when you consider the hardwares inside it.

Superwarehouse.com has anything anyone might need when it comes to technology. Anything from laptops to digital camera’s are available at super ware house. From laptops or any other tech gadget’s parts to a brand new product, everything is available there. I looked at some laptop’s prices at super ware house and they are not bad at all. All the top brand laptops are available at this tech store.

Ok, some important information about this Toshiba Satellite Laptops deal. If you choose to get an in-store pickup, you will save $20 whereas if you choose home delivery, it will cost you $20.

This is one of the best deals you will find for any laptop. Acer Extensa EX5620-6419 Laptop Computer will be on discount price at Officedepot starting from June 29 to July 5. The price is great when you consider the hardware inside this Acer laptop. Any other day the Acer Extensa EX5620-6419 Laptop costs $700 but between June 29 and July 5 you can get this Acer Extensa EX5620-6419 15″ Widescreen Laptop for $500 at OfficeDepot after $75 Instant discount and a $125 Mail-In-rebate. The Acer Extensa EX5620-6419 Laptop link I posted above doesn’t have any discounts right now, Check back between June 29 and July 5 to see the full discount offer. I found out about this Acer Extensa 5620-6419 Notebook deal here.

Let me tell you why this deal is great. First off, the main thing that caught my eye was the 3GB of memory. Thats a whole lot of memory and it can be expanded to 4GB if you wish. Acer Extensa 5620-6419 Notebook has a Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 1.83GHz processor with Intel Centrino processor technology. This Acer Extensa Notebook Computer has everything you would possibly need accept for the graphics card. Graphics card and the battery are the two things I don’t like in this Acer Extensa Notebook Computer. The graphics card on this Acer Extensa Laptop is a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 and we all know Intel’s graphics card are not the greatest. The battery on this Acer Extensa Laptop is only a 6-cell lithium-ion battery so if you want to use your laptop without plugging it into an electric shocked for a long time, this is not for you. A 6-cell lithium-ion battery will give you about 3 hours of use (my guess). Anyway, other than that everything else looks great. Here are some of the technical specifications for Acer Extensa EX5620-6419 Laptop.

• 15.4″-diagonal widescreen WXGA CrystalBright LCD screen with 1280 x 800 resolution
• Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 1.83GHz processor with Intel Centrino processor technology, 2MB L2 cache
• 3GB of DDR2 SDRAM memory as mentioned above

I think almost everyone will be satisfied with the hardware on offer here considering the price. Check back again between June 29 and July 5 if you want to buy this Acer Extensa 5620-6419 Laptop.
