Got me an awesome bargain on a Logitech G7 wireless laser mouse. It's not only an awesome mouse (swap 'n' go battery system and super strong wireless connection for the win!), but I got it for $107! This thing normally retails for $175! I think Umart made a mistake somewhere :P

Even with the discount, you're still paying a good deal more than I would normally, compensating for currency value. Is everything electronic that expensive in AU?

It has only one thumb button, and therefore I wish to punch whoever designed it right square in the mouth.

Arc Orion: The RRP is around $90 in the US ain't it? $107 isn't that much of a jump. In answer to your question, yes. You guys have been complaining about having to pay nearly $100 for new console games. We've been doing that since the SNES days.

Deacon: I'd have to agree, I loved my MX510's forward button. They could have at least made it that a single press goes back while a double-press makes it go forward...

I think it was Newegg recently that had a 250GB for $49.99 :(

Safeway seems to be having a huge deal on Pepsi right now. Buy one 18 pack at like $8US, get another 18 pack and a 24 pack of bottled water free.
