RPG Piggy Bank Wastes Your Time And Your Stomach

Would a piggy bank that can save up to $465.46 dollars encourage you to abandon the console RPG you’re playing in favor of hording your money in this game? Staring at it in astonishment, amazed by the fact that it’s a RPG on a piggy bank. You’ll mindlessly drop coins in it, one at a time, at a slow pace. Before long, you’ll realize that all the gear you bought for your character was for naught; you were playing nothing more than Tamagotchi with a bank account . You’ll want all your money back to go get some White Castle. Then you’ll never touch this machine again.

This muscley-looking plastic meat head doesn’t want to kick sand in your face like all of those dudes at the beach. Oh, no. His motive is much more harmless. All he wants to do is light your room with his included Statue of Liberty-esque lamp, and hold onto your iPod or iPhone as it charges. Really, he’s a nice fellow.

Don’t let his rippling white biceps scare you. He’s not here to take advantage of your wife like the paperboy and the poolboy… and the pizza delivery guy… and possibly your brother. Nope. He’s here to lend a helping hand! Standing 12-inches tall, he’s no competition compared to your manly physique. You can buy him yourself for a whopping $200 (ouch!) or you can just, I dunno, get a flashlight and just keep your device on the desk while it charges. (more…)

iluv i201 ear clips

Many people have tried the ear clip style of headphone. They are really interesting for about a half an hour, until you realize either that they are the reason you ears hurt, or that everyone is staring at those alien looking things in your ears.

Priced at $13, these headphones are great for the iPod user who wants to ditch their horrible stock headphones but does not want to commit to a $100 set of noise canceling, over the head style piece of machinery. They do look rather nice. They aren’t as bony as some other ear clip headphones are, the have some substance. Because they utilize the plug style ear pieces, they do a good job of blocking outside noise that you want to to leave you alone. Another nice little feature? You don’t have to worry about extensions if the cord is too short because it comes with an adjuster built into the cord. The come in either iPod white or black to match for fashionable Christmas gift.

White PS3 going for $1,500+ on eBay

white playstation 3

And you thought that the people getting pink and orange Zunes were lucky… Well, the person who opened their box and found a white PS3 doesn’t really exist, so don’t fret. This white PS3 was homemade, well, home painted is more like it. PS3Center actually took the time to take their brand new PS3 apart, painstaking paint the black components, put it back together (and make it work), and sell it on eBay as the first ever white PS3. Their time was definitely worth it because this baby is going to go for well above $1,500 when the auction ends in a couple days. It looks beautiful, but it probably loves your fingerprints just as much as the normal, boring, black PS3 does. Now all we have to do it wait for the hot pink PS3 to emerge. You know it’s inevitable…
