We have one purely for games.So here is one for any non console related bargains.Please feel free to add.

LG 22'' LCD HD Ready Widescreen TV £189 : Here

Might not sound like a mega bargain but these great little panels are far better quality than you would expect from a sub £200 LCD TV.Build and AV quality is impressive (sound is very good for a unit of its kind).Just installed one for my great aunt last night as she has been forced to update due to the end of analogue transmissions.It's very easy to use as well.Would definitely recommend one of these for the bedroom,spare room etc. as they are excellent for the money.

Planet Earth Blu Ray Boxset £17.91 : Here

i got a massive lazyboy chair for a tenner at the local car boot sale, it's in great shape and even has a fridge at the bottom

The Hut DVD and Blu-ray 1 day sale is on today. Up to 80% off DVD and Blu-rays.

Perhaps my dullest bargain post ever but thought it may be of interest to someone.Rolls of loft insulation £1 each with free delivery (or think you can order and collect from Build Centre) with NPower : Here

If you're after a decent sized good quality TV and have an old one lying about (or still being used) then Currys are currently doing a good trade in for the Sony S5500. £599 normally, but get £100 off of that price if you trade in your old TV. Doesn't even have to be working, they stick them outside the back door for someone to collect for scrap.

Its very easy to offer anecdotal evidence about these things. eg We've got 2 Acers here at the moment which I'd swear were engineered to last 1 year and 1 day. The moment the warranty expired they started developing faults.

I think its fair to say though that Toshiba's reputation isnt what it was. Theres been several high profile problems such as faulty memory modules across virtually their entire range and several class action lawsuits about design faults. So personally I wouldnt have enough confidence in the brand to buy one.

Regarding Toshiba laptops my Aunt bought one about 4 years ago and she's never off the thing.Its been great,had no problems with it at all ?.

Another option if required is this Acer model at Comet.There is 3.5% quidco cashback available as well.Remember all laptops have a 12 month manufacturers warranty with them anyway,any problems would surely have reared there ugly heads within this time ?.

This is of topic, but it sort of relates. Look at Xbox's, the amount of people who say they've had problems with it, and i've never had any trouble whatsoever with it. A product only has a problem if it breaks down on you, and you're usually covered by a warranty anyway ;)

For what it's worth, I've had a Toshiba laptop in the past which I had nothing but problems with. I've also got a Dell pc at the moment, which I've upgraded a few bits and bobs on, but it's still going strong after 3 years maybe?

I've set up about 3 Dell pcs for my Dad as well in the past 5 years and they're still doing well.

As mentioned below, you can spec your Dell laptop to your liking before buying. The only problem is it will take about 1 week to get shipped to you.
