10 Hot Products This Holiday Season
November 30, 2009 at 12:11:52 AM, by Gilberto J. Perera
With Black Friday just around the corner we thought it would be a great idea to highlight some of the products that we think buyers will have on their lists this holiday season. You will notice that some of these products have not been released yet, but can be pre-ordered. Which of these is on your list?
1. Nintendo Wii Console
As the console wars continue with Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft, the reduced price of the Nintendo Wii continues to drive sales of this family oriented console. The release of Beatles Rock Band and Wii Fit Plus should help boost sales of the device for consumers looking to get back in shape for 2010 and extending the number of songs in their Rock Band library (see #9). Find the lowest price here. 
2. The new iMac
With rumors of deep discounts on Apple products for Black Friday along with an onslaught of Mac vs. Windows 7 commercials, many consumers will flock to Apple for their next computer purchase. The new iMac sports a 21.5” or 27” monitor, quad core processors, plenty of RAM, and advanced graphics. All bundles start at $1,199 with discounts taking that to $900 for a new 21.5” iMac. Here's a link to the Apple Store so you can stay one step ahead of the competition. 
3. iPod Touch
With the extension of the iTunes App catalog, the iPod Touch has been transformed from a music player when it was first launched to the all-in-one PDA it is today. Like the iPhone the iPod Touch is able to access close to 100,000 applications that reside in the iTunes Catalog, you will also be able to purchase movies, music, and other content to enjoy on your iPod Touch. Aside from its capabilities there are rumors of deep discounts from Apple this Black Friday, the iPod Touch is sure to make it on everyone’s list of gift purchases this year. The rumored discount will bring the iPod Touch from $199 to about $140, that’s a 30% from the original price. Here's a link to purchase the iPod Touch. 
4. Samsung 8000 Series 1080p 240 Hz LED HDTV
Ultra-brilliant Samsung LED TVs have it all. 5,000,000:1 Mega Contrast provides an incredible range of brightness - from pure blacks to pristine whites, 240hz technology, and an ultra thin 1.2” depth makes this one of the most coveted TV’s this holiday season. With $400 off from CompUSA, link to deal (valid only for the next 72 hours). 
5. Sony BRAVIA XBR Series 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV
1.Like its LED counterpart above, the Sony LCD TV is best in class. It sports 1080p, 240hz, 100,000:1 contrast ratio, and Bravia Internet Video, which allows users to access Sony’s digital content library that contains movies, music, and other customized content. Since the LED TV may be out of some folks price range, the next best would be this LCD from Sony. $600 off original price – via Amazon. 
6. LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player
If you have not jumped on the Blu-ray bandwagon and have opted not to buy the PS3 for its Blu-ray capabilities, then you should definitely look at the BD390 from LG. The Blu-ray player sports an integrated Wi-fi card to access Netflix, YouTube, and CinemaNow videos. It has fast disc loading, and plays music, videos, and images from USB drives or over the network. Supports DTS HD, 7.1 analog inputs, and has 1GB onboard memory. $199 online via FatWallet. 
7. Canon PowerShot S90IS
Mixing elements of a small point and shoot for everyday use and advanced features for those serious about photography, the S90 is a great camera for the advanced point and shoot photographer. The camera sports a 10 megapixel sensor, face detection technology, low light sensitivity (ISO 12,800), wide lens (28mm), image stabilization, compact size, a large 3” screen, and a fast .9-.6 frames per second shooting using AF and normal modes. $394 via US-Appliance. 
8. nook eBook Reader
As the competition for the eBook market heats up, increased competition is good for consumers. The latest eBook reader to hit the market is from none other than Barnes & Noble. Like the Kindle device from Amazon, the nook allows users to access content via a cellular wireless provider. It uses an E Ink display that is easy on the eyes and is light and compact. Unlike the Kindle, the nook sports a secondary display that is touch enabled and allows users to browse their content library as well as type a la iPhone. Users can also use their home’s Wi-Fi connection, and add additional capacity via the MicroSD slot, a feature Kindle users will surely envy. The nook device is available for pre-order via the Barnes & Noble website and will be released on November 30th. Pre-order at Barnes & Noble for $259. 
9. The Beatles Rock Band Edition
With the increasing popularity of Rock Band among people of all ages and the love for Beatles music, the combination of these makes for one of the most popular games this holiday season. The Beatles Rock Band Edition can be purchased as a bundle with instruments or the stand-alone game. The game is available for the PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360. Game price will vary by console and if purchased as a bundle with the instruments or on its own. Best prices can be found via Google Products. 
10. HP Mini311
With an Nvidia Ion graphics chip that allows HD video playback and the ability to run games, this little device is the Netbook of choice. For just under $400 you get a 3.3lb, 11.6” display, with HDMI outputs, Altec Lansing speakers, a 160GB hard drive for ample storage space, 1GB RAM, and Windows XP. Additional options allow for 3GB of RAM, solid state drives, and Windows 7. Best prices can be found via Google Products. 
So now that you’ve viewed the top ten items this season, which items will be on your list?
