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!"
Last years black Friday was weird when I worked at Circuit city. The sets that were on sale were the lower end mid tier sets, Vizio, Zenith Plasma, Panasonic, older Samsung Plasma, and Sharps.
That Saturday after the Sony XBR and Samsung 71 series were dirt cheap. I thought it was an insult to those people who waited Friday. All the people who came in the next day got really good deals on the high tier sets. I remember the 52" XBR4's retail was $5000 and usually go for $4000 and that Saturday it was on sale for $3000 same thing with the 52" 71 series.
