Lockergnome has somewhat convoluted way to game the Amazon system to get an extra 5% off of anything in the store, as long as it's actually sold by Amazon.com and not a third-party retailer. It's too long to list here, but the gist of it is that you tell Amazon you already own something, wait a day, and they'll recommend that item back to you at a 5% discount. Not sure how this makes sense, but Lockergnome says it works. Go check it out, cheapos. [Lockergnome]

The flip floppery AT&T iPhone Wi-Fi access has finally been made official, with AT&T adding a note on their own iPhone plan page that reflects the free Wi-Fi. That's 17,000 Wi-Fi hotspots, some of which are at Starbucks, some of which are at a Barnes and Noble. Finally, now with wireless access, you've got something to read at Barnes and Noble. [AT&T]

Skype's latest $9.95 international subscription plan seems fantastic if you're calling relatives or friends in other countries really often. Just pay $9.95 a month and you'll be able to ring up landlines in one of 34 countries (cellphones are only supported in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, the US and Canada), and if you buy three months' worth of credit before June 1, you'll get one month for free. Super useful for when you've got older folks in other countries who don't really know how to use a computer to Skype with. Or if you don't want them to see over video chat that you've gained some weight. [Skype]

This is a bit of a self-serving question of the day, but here's something for readers to participate in. What's the best hard drive deal you can find right now? We're talking preferably internal and SATA, but if you've got a hot Swedish deal for an external USB drive, we'd love to hear about that too. Help out your fellow Giz readers and tell them where to get cheap, yet functional, storage.

We love watching DivX, but what if you want to create DivX? You'd normally have to pony up for the DivX Pro pack to let you encode your favorite movies into our favorite format, but for a limited time you can download DivX Pro for free. Think of it as an early Xmas present to get more people creating content in their format. Wait, I see what they're doing! [DivX via Wal-You via Cyber Net News]

In a break from Dell's traditional mail order biz, an agreement reached today with the Staples retail chain will bring Dell brand notebooks, desktops, monitors, printers, and ink to over 1400 Staples stores across the U.S. Initially Staples will carry Inspiron 1721 and 1521 notebooks, Inspiron 530 desktops, 948 and 926 All-in-one printers, the 1320c laser printer, the Dell SE198WFP 19-inch LCD, E228WFP 22-inch LCD, and most types of Dell brand ink and toner with more products to be added over time. A similar agreement was signed with Wal-Mart earlier this year, making this the second time Dell has partnered with a major US retailer and the first time it has scored a 3-way.[Staples via i4u]
Best Buy has an Xbox 360 HD DVD deal coming up next week that lets you get the HD DVD addon as well as a free Heroes Season 1 HD DVD box set for just $179. The ad says the Heroes pack is a $99.99 value, but you can pick it up online for just $69. It's still a good deal, but slightly less incredible. Plus, you can still get five free HD DVD movies with purchase as well. [Cheapassgamer via Xbox 360 Fanboy]

This is a semi-good deal if you've already purchased a lifetime subscription on your old Series 2 units and want to upgrade to a TiVo HD. For the medium, medium price of $199, you can transfer your old sub to the new unit if and only if you purchase an HD unit between October 11 and November 8. Plus, your old subscription has to have been activated before October 1, 2003, and not have been already transferred to some other machine. If you fit through all these caveats, feel free to fork over even more money to TiVo. [Zatz Not Funny]

After kicking George Foreman's ass in the ring, Evander Holyfield hopes to kick his ass again in the kitchen (with a grill, not boxing gloves). After signing with manufacturer CirTran Corp, Holyfield produced a 30-minute infomercial about the $99 Real Deal Grill that will surely Change Your Life. At the moment, we're only moderately excited about the new animal-flesh-charring matchup. Get Don King on the line and then maybe we'll talk. [defamer/AP]
