Start warming up those pipes! I heard from a little birdie (read: Sony's website) that one of the greatest bands to sing along with EVER - ABBA - is coming to SingStar (for Playstation 2 and 3) with their own awesome collection.

If you OD'd on Mamma Mia this Summer like I did, then you understand how crazy stoked I am that I'm about to get an ABBA song collection for my PS3! I mean, I've been known to belt out random ABBA songs in my office in the shower, so I may as well be collecting points for it!

Although it may be too late to get free shipping and receive your Amazon goodies by Christmas, it's never too late to save some serious dough on things you crave.

Want a good way to get the most out of your Amazon gift card? Try Amazon's Gold Box Lightning Deals. Every hour on the hour, Amazon releases another item for sale at a seriously discounted price.

You'll never know what item is up next, and that's part of the fun of it. But Amazon does give you a little hint on what it could be to pique your interest so you return in an hour . . . with that gift card in hand! Yesterday I got SingStar Abba for $15 bucks (62 percent off the sticker price), which is totally going to take my SingStar New Year's Eve party to another level.

Happy Birthday, CD!

The CD is 25 years old today. On August 17, 1982 the very first compact disc, "The Visitors" by ABBA, rolled off the production line at a Philips factory in Langenhagen, just outside of Hanover, Germany.

While the Compact Disc format was originally designed for music storage and playback, the format was later adapted to hold any form of binary data. If you've ever wondered how they work, check out How Stuff Works' guide.
