Dealzmodo: Free $60 Gift Card With Xbox 360 Elite at Amazon
Following Microsoft's solid price cuts on the Xbox 360, this is a sweetass deal: At Amazon, if you buy an Xbox 360 Elite, you'll get a free $60 gift card. The only catch is that you have to buy the 360 from Amazon.com, and not one of their third-party merchants. It'll get emailed to you by Sept. 30 with the info about redeeming it. That's a free game or like half-way to a Gears of War 2 Lancer to faux grind your little brother into kibbles 'n' bits. [Amazon via Bargainist]

Dealzmodo: $100 Off Xbox 360 Elite
You could buy a new 60GB Xbox 360 for $350. Or, if you are reading this post right now, you could buy a new 120GB Xbox 360 Elite for $350 and get two bundled games free. We'll let you decide whether the 60GB version's tweaked RAM placement is worth $100 and a few games. (But just so you know, it is not.) Available at Dell until August 20th, enter V8Q199$GCXJWL$ at checkout to get the savings. Oh, and free shipping, too. [Dell via Fatwallet Thanks James!]

Pioneer Elite SC-07 and SC-05 Flagship Receivers (Plus the VSX-03TXH and VSX-01TXH)
Pioneer's got new Elite 7.1 receivers, the high end SC-07 and SC-05, and the lesser VSX-03TXH and VSX-01TXH. The SC-07 has a Burr Brown Sampling Rate Converter (SRC) to upscale audio to 192 kHz 24-bit res, and dual HDMI outputs for multiroom output. The SC-07 and SC-05 also work with Pioneer's new Blu-ray player to activate the "Precision Quartz Locking System (PQLS) that synchronizes data between the Blu-ray Disc player and the receiver, providing listeners with the ultimate precision in CD playback." I kid you not, Pioneer is working on making CDs the yesterday technology of tomorrow! All four receivers do new lossless formats ("DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution, Dolby® TrueHD and Dolby® Digital Plus" ) and room tuning.More »

Xbox 360 Elite Laptop
Benjamin Heckendorn (aka Ben Heck) is known to most of the geek world as a console modding god. And his latest accomplishment, squeezing an Xbox 360 Elite into a laptop, is his best revision yet. Because while he's made 360 laptops before, this is his first based upon the newer 65nm chipset (plus it features the Elite's larger 120GB hard drive). And we especially appreciate that the 17" screen Heck installed uses a 1280×720 resolution (as opposed to 1280X768) for true 720p picture. Yes, we really are mega geeks. Hit the jump to watch Heck's demo video as he loads Halo 3.

Elite Portable Floor-Rising Screen is Pure Magic
Good lord, look at this Elite Portable Floor-Rising Screen that's motorized. Carry it around with you, make it rise with its magic motors, and impress all those superficial suits on your next presentation road trip. Or, keep it right at home, take off that easily-removed handle, and it looks like it's a permanent installation. Available by June, your choice of either an 84" or a 100" diagonal screen will set you back $2000. Screen sizes up to 150" are planned.

Best Plasma Ever vs. Best LCD Ever (Verdict: Plasma Wins)
Sound and Vision took took the best Plasma TV they could find (Pioneer Elite PRO-110FD Kuro) and the best LCD TV they could find (Samsung LN-T5281F), and threw them against each other in a carefully calibrated match. The winner, which we've actually seen before as the best flat panel ever, was the Pioneer Elite. Not only is it the best flat panel ever, thanks to improvements in both display techs, it's now actually the best TV ever. Period. More »
