Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
Well, I got totally screwed by Circuit City last night. I was #11 in line, out of 14 Premium consoles. After waiting for an hour, the manager came out and posted a sign stating that only 3/14 of the premium consoles would be sold without a bundle. Everything else included a $90 two year warranty, and some games/accessories that I wasn't interested in. I refused to be extorted like that just because some manager saw people lining up and smelled a way to boost his sales by a couple bucks. (That CC is also losing an HDTV purchase from me, I'm done with them) In the hour that I wasted at CC, all the other retail locations filled up. Stopped at about 10 stores, in all cases the consoles were already spoken for. I think I'm going to write a nasty letter to the CC District Manager.
What a crappy night.
