The new year sales for geeks.

What about getting your own collection point from this company? Battery Recycling, Battery Collection, Battery Compliance

Thats an idea I will look into It seems they have one of them in the local supermarket but I haven't seen it, one location has closed (council sold off the town hall as they are in lots of debt) and the local chemist has one but again never seen it so maybe adding one at us could be a good thing.

In case anyone is reading this from NZ there are a few epic deals on at the moment:

Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor for $99 - Xbox360 Kinect camera and bonus Adventures game | Dick Smith Online Shopping (its usually $219 here)

Xbox 360 Slim 250GB with Kinect and two games for $348 - JB Hi-Fi - Always Cheap Prices (usually around $600 here)

Still not sure if I will pick up a new slim from JB Hifi but I have already grabbed a Kinect sensor for my Elite.

If you happen to see any good bargins from either the shops or online retailers feel free to post them up here.

Just been in to Currys / PC World to buy a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 camera and found they're selling the Eye-Fi Pro at £40 - £60 cheaper than normal. I don't know if they simply found that no-one bought the Pro version via retail (it handles RAW format files, which your average PC World customer isn't going to bother with) and are just trying to get rid of stock or if it's some kind of pricing mistake - they're still selling the standard version for £10 more.

Getting shut of them is a PITA! I've got a stack of AA and AAA at work from keyboards and mice and nowhere wants to take the blessed things

Every shop that sells over 32kg of batteries a year needs to have a battery bin by law so most supermarkets will have one just need to ask a member of staff where it is..
