Let me point out that I have no idea how good or bad this Blu-Ray player is and that there's a few things you need to bear in mind before heading out to get one...

Blu-Ray for under a ton

Argos are currently selling the Bush BD01 Blu-Ray player for £99.99.  Apparently, despite what their website says, that's really £97.86 (what with the new VAT rates).  But that's still not £88, I hear you say - and you'd be right!  However, Argos has extended their offer where you get £10 worth of gift vouchers for spending £100 or more.  Yes, I know £97.86 isn't £100 or more but let's face it, there's bound to be something worth at least a few quid you were going to buy from Argos at some point anyway (like a HDMI cable for instance).

Of course the £10 voucher is only good if you want to buy yet more stuff from Argos, but again, chances are that you will.  If not, give the vouchers as a Christmas present!  Bob's your uncle, Blu-Ray player for £87.86!

Thanks in part to this thread on HotUKdeals

I touched upon this briefly in the last post, but I feel it deserves one of its own!

This has probably been around since the year dot and, perhaps, everyone but myself knew but here goes...  HotUKDeals - one of the few bargain sites I don't really frequent much for some reason - has a way to filter bargains and they have a section purely for mobile phonery.  Here's the link:

Here's another one that I like and have consulted in the past: MobileReserve

Slightly misleading title as my trial 3 Mobile Broadband dongle hasn't gone back just yet.  However, it will in the next day or two.  Although I never got the thing working with my Eee PC (I used it with a Vista laptop instead) and, even though things weren't always 100% hunky dory, I still decided I needed to look into getting one for myself.

So, tomorrow I should be having delivered a Huawei E220.  I'll be getting up to 5 gig a month for £6.91 and the dongle thrown in.  Looking around, I think that's got to be the best mobile broadband deal in the UK at the moment.  And using 5 gig on mobile broadband can actually be more difficult than you'd imagine (I know from experience!*)

Anyone interested in the deal should check HotUKDeals out.  It's the site where I found this - oh, and by the way, you'll need Quidco.  If you've got a Linux flavoured Eee PC (or perhaps another non-Windows subnotebook) you *have* to go for the E220.  That's the only one that works out-of-the-box.  The direct link to the offer is for a different Huawei dongle but thanks to some resourceful folk on the deal's comments page you'll be able to select the E220 without any problems.

*Keep away from 720p video podcasts on Miro and you'll be fine!
