Wal-Mart Builds Their Own Geek Squad
Need some tech support? Normally I like to troubleshoot my computer and technology woes myself (there's nothing like reading the instruction manual to learn how to operate something while in distress), but on rare occasions, I do have to call a company's tech support hotline to get some help with an issue. However, out of all of the gadgets I've purchased from Best Buy, I've never called upon the Geek Squad's services when I'm in need.

Wal-Mart Gets Video Game Trade-In Vending Machines
It doesn't get much easier than this. A writer over at NeoCrisis was visiting his local Wal-Mart when he saw a new vending machine that allows you to trade in used PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, and Wii games for credit.
Currently, HMV and GameStop already have their own video-game-recycling programs, so it's nice to see a big-box store like Wal-Mart making it that much easier for everyone to reuse games.

Google's G1 Lands in Walmart Today!
I didn't believe it when I first heard it, but it's true — Walmart will start selling the G1 today at a discounted price!
Unlike T-Mobile, who is already selling the phone for $180, you can get one at over 550 Walmart stores for $150 instead — how great is that? So let me get this straight, iPhone is to Best Buy as the G1 is to Walmart?
Geek Out: Where Do You Buy Your Gadgets?
Upon the "rumor mill" news that Walmart may be selling the iPhone soon, I realized one thing: I have a thing about buying Apple products at the Apple store. Even if I might be able to get something quicker somewhere else (I did NOT want to stand in the AT&T line on July 11, 2008), there's just something magical about going to the white church of Apple and checking out there (hell, emailed receipts! Why isn't everyone doing that?!).
It's Raining Wiis at Walmart
I know, Christmas is still over three months away, but I had to share this crucial life-altering info in case you've been trying to get your hands on a Wii or you know someone who has one on their wish list. The Wii is in stock at Walmart! Not only is it available online and in the store, but you can purchase fun bundles like the "Wii Starter Bundle" or the "Wii with Wii Fit Bundle."
