zune-mp3-playerThe Zune MP3 player has been around about as long as the Ipod but for some reason the Zune doesn’t get any kind of recognition for the innovative product that it is.  If you’re looking for an MP3 player with tons of features at a fraction of the cost of the Ipod then you might want to check out the Zune 120 GB Video MP3 Player.

Features: The Zune comes with a built in FM tuner. This means you can use your MP3 player as a radio. If you have a favorite radio show that you love to listen to then you don’t have to worry about buying a separate headset.

The Zune Pass Card makes much more sense than Itunes. With the Pass you can browse and download as many songs as you want for a fixed fee, listen to them and if you really dig them, buy them. It sure beats paying a buck or more for each individual song you may not like 3 weeks from now. You get more flexibility with Pass as you can check out new artists without incurring any additional costs if you don’t like them.

The Zune  integrates with your Xbox 360. This means you can choose your own theme music for your favorite games.

Because the Zune has  wifi capability, you don’t have to worry about plugging it into your computer so you can sync the two up without having to hunt for cables.

zune-120-gb-gears-of-war-special-edition1What We Like:

  • First and foremost is the price. The Zune is cheaper than a comparable Ipod and there are a lot more features included in the unit.
  • The Zune has a wireless share feature so you can swap songs with other Zune users. It’s a great way to find a new artist and new songs.
  • The 120 gig of storage space is bigger than some computers.  We reckon  you’ll have a hard time filling up the entire unit.
  • You can put movies and TV shows in it as well as your entire music library.

The Zune is available in black, white, red and this fantastic Gears of War Special Edition which will really delight the GOW fans in your household.

Another thing you and your teens will love is the great range of Zune Accessories that are available to enhance your MP3 enjoyment.

Why wait  BUY NOW and check out the discounted price and in some instances free shipping.

32-inch-weather-resistant-outdoor-hd-televisionTV is a huge part of our lives most homes have one in the living room and the bedroom as well. But what do you do if you have a pool or deck?  There is no reason to be stuck inside during football season when you can have an outdoor TV.

The 32 Inch Weather Resistant Outdoor HD Television is a perfect fit for a back yard patio or pool. There really is no reason to stay stuck inside when the game is on. You can kick back in a hammock and enjoy the show.

This is a thin lightweight TV with great lighting. You can enjoy it even on the brightest of days.

One of the great things about this TV is that all the parts are sealed against the weather. Sure you don’t want to drop it in the pool but a rain shower isn’t going to hurt it.

The TV even comes with a dust cover to help cut down on the amount of cleaning you’ll need to do.

This isn’t just some gimmick TV either. It has all the inputs you need to hook up cable, stereo, DVD, Blue Ray player, satellite you name it. You can have a fully integrated outdoor entertainment system with the TV as its centerpiece.

The attention to detail is amazing. The TV even has a built in heater so that it will function on the coldest of days. It’s rated down to -24F.

What We Like:

  • Rugged durable construction. You can tell this unit is built for the outdoors. It’s not going to short out at the first hint of rain.
  • Contrast ratio is right up there with standard home TVs at 1500:1 just like what you might have in your living room.
  • You can enjoy the full HD theater experience with this TV it’s capable of performance up to 1080i.
  • Even the remote is  weather-resistant and has rechargeable batteries.

twilight-soundtrackI guess there aren’t too many people around who haven’t seen the movie Twilight, or read Stephanie Meyers Twilight Saga Collection about modern day Vampires living in Forks,  Washington, USA.

I saw the movie and although I thought it was just so-so, I went on to read all four books after being told by my granddaughter that the books made the movie more understandable. Well I couldn’t put the books down and yes they did clarify some of the points in the movie that I hadn’t fully grasped.

I have since watched the movie a number of times and it is one of those movies that you just seem to enjoy without really knowing why. At first I thought the movie had been miscast, especially Bella, but now I feel the characters are suited to who the characters they portray. Robert Pattison, who was Cedric in Harry Potter, is well suited to the role of Edward the glistening 17 year old vampire.

I read somewhere  that Robert Pattison felt he had been miscast as Edward, who is supposedly  the perfect man, and he felt that Zac Efron would have been better suited to the role.  I have to totally disagree, Robert is what I would classify as an actor, Zac is just a pretty face in my book  and I personally don’t believe he has the depth to carry off this part.

If you are a Twilight fan or you have a Twilight fan in your home you can’t do better than buy them the Twilight (Ultimate Collector’s Set [Blu-ray]which is available exclusively from Amazon. Included in the collection is:
twilight-ultimate-collectors-set-blu-ray

Do yourself a favor and, if you haven’t already seen it, ensure that you see Twilight before the release of New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)the second movie of the series.
