Daily gear deal – Rosewill portable DVD drive for $60 + free bonus

by Scott Carmichael on

So, you got yourself one of those shiny new Netbook computers, but you are only now beginning to realize that the lack of a built in DVD drive is a bit of a pain?

Then this Rosewill portable DVD drive may be just what you need to become happy again with your purchase.

The unit is powered off the USB port on your computer, so you won’t have to drag a power brick along with you. The drive can read and write to DVD discs which means you can use it to watch a movie, or to burn a backup of stuff to a recordable CD or DVD.

Included in the box is the USB cable and a version of the NERO CD/DVD recording suite.

If you purchase by April 30th, you’ll even get a 4GB USB memory stick thrown into the deal for free as well as free shipping.

Daily deal – Panasonic Palmcorder mini-DVD camcorder for $180

by Scott Carmichael on

My daily deal for today is for the Panasonic VDR-D210 Palmcorder miniDVD camcorder. This camera has a 2.7″ flip-out LCD screen with a joystick for operating the camera functions. The optics are equally impressive. 32x optical zoom, and the well rated Panasonic optical image stabilization.

The VDR-D210 is still listed on Amazon for $339, but you can purchase it from Circuit City (online only) for just $179.96. Included in the box is the camera, a battery with recharger and the user manual. Shipping is free, and tax is charged in all states with a Circuit City physical store.

In order to use the camera, you will have to purchase some mini DVD discs. Recordings can be written on DVD-R, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW and DVD-Dual layer. Once you are done recording, you can playback the discs in your home DVD player (if it supports mini DVD discs).

The camera is in the Circuit City outlet, so inventory may be running low. If you are interested in the camera, don’t wait too long, as it probably won’t last till the end of the day.
