Since we don't have a Shopping forum and I geek out on gadgets:
<strong>PS3 now lowered to $299</strong>
(It's everywhere so I didn't provide a link)
That's for the 80GB model, the 160GB one is $399.
But I would wait until Sept 1st, Sony is coming out with a smaller, slimmer model, the PS3 Slim which has a 120GB hard disk and is still $299.
<strong>Acer Notebook: $279</strong>

This isn't a netbook, but a full 15.6" Windows Vista notebook with a DVD-RW drive, 2GB ram and 160GB hard disk. It even has the keyboard with a dedicated 10-key for you awgees out there.
<strong>Samsung 46" 120hz LED TV: $1699</strong>
<a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9238835&type=product&id=1218065985439">http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9238835&type=product&id=1218065985439</a>
That's LED... not LCD. Thinner, lighter and more energy efficient than LCD TVs... and it wasn't too long ago that this was $2699. Competing 120hz LCD TVs are around this price so getting LED is a deal.
If you want just an inexpensive name brand LCD, watch the Fry's ads on the weekends. For the last few months they have been advertising a 46" "Major Name Brand" TV for $899 as a 1-day sale. A couple of times it was a Sony Bravia (which I ended up getting) but lately it's been a Samsung (the BEST LCD TV IMO). Had I not got the Sony a few months ago, I would have definitely got the Sammy. $899 is the kind of price you pay for no-name brands like Dynex... so if you see it... you should definitely buy it.
EDIT: Forgot to add the size to the LED TV
