Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
USA is not a main target... There's huge markets (South America, Asia, Middle East, China) where even DVD is considered expensive and they're still using CD-Video!!!
They just can't afford the massive production and licensing costs of Blu-Ray. China is developing it's own HD disc to avoid MPEG2 royalties (CH-DVD).
