Cow Bell Deals: Samsung BD-P1400 For $269

Well I had posted about this player a few days ago, with Amazon.com dropping the price of this Blu-Ray player to $298. Well it looks like they want to give you an early Christmas gift, by dropping the price of the Samsung BD-P1400 even more. Amazon is now selling the player at $269, which is the best "please buy our player" offer that Blu-Ray has, and it still qualifies for the 5 free movies.

Just be aware that it only has HD profile 1.0, which means that it doesn't have picture in picture support. But it does have 5.1 audio and an Ethernet jack for firmware upgrades. And it has just as many good games for it as the Playstation 3.

Cheap 2-Port HDMI Switch By Belkin

If you were one of the early adopters of HDTV, you've might have run into the same issue that I have, one HDMI port. Well Belkin has myself in mind when they developed a reasonably priced HDMI switch. This beautifully looking switch has 1080p compatibility, HDMI powered, and a IR control that switches the ports. It lists at $49.99, but you might be able to find it cheaper on the streets.

NBC Universal Pulling Video Content From iTunes

NBC Universal is turning up the heat on iTunes by ending support, which means there will be no more "Heroes," "The Office" or "To Catch a Predator" after December. This is a huge deal to Apple because 40% of their downloads are from NBC Universal.

The problem is due to NBC wanting to raise prices, and Apple wanting to keep things the way they are. Everything stems from greed, and I wonder would NBC rather make no money, than play by Apple's rules? Most likely NBC will sign a short term contract with Apple just to keep leverage for negotiations, and there is still a few months left to come to an agreement.
