“You e-mail the service your receipts (for online purchases) or paste a URL or scan a barcode with the Gazaro iPhone App (for in-store purchases), and if the price of the product goes down post-purchase during the guarantee period, you get an e-mail alert.”
- Rafe Needleman, CNET News

“It’s dead simple to use, too. Just search for what you bought, or enter the product’s UPC code and find out if it’s eligible for protection”
- Darrell Etherington, Gigaom

Logitech WiLife Hidden Camera

If  your prank is a surprise or trap, you probably can’t be right there to see your victim’s reaction, here’s the solution: the Logitech WiLife Spy Camera Master System!

The WiLife Spy Camera system consists of a hidden camera disguised as an alarm clock, a USB wireless video receiver, and software that installs on your computer to watch and record the video. One of best features of this system is the motion sensor, which automatically starts recording video once motion is sensed in the room. As an added bonus, the video records and saves itself to a format easily uploaded to YouTube – so you can share your genius prank with the world!

The Logitech WiLife Spy Camera Master System can be bought from CompUSA for just $240.99, a huge savings from regular $329.99, and the lowest price Gazaro has seen yet!

This covert Spy Camera is housed inside an innocent looking digital alarm clock, and could be placed anywhere in a house. Video is wirelessly transmitted back to your computer and recorded for you to enjoy your prank over and over again.

Have you set up a bucket of water to fall on your roommate when they come in the door? Position the camera in sight of the doorway and it will automatically start recording video to your computer as soon as the door starts to open. Your hidden camera will be covertly capturing the hilarious result while you safely watch from a distance.

If you are looking for a little inspiration, check out the video below to see one of the funniest pranks I’ve seen:

If you end up taking an hidden camera videos for April Fools Day tomorrow, be sure to upload them and post a link in the comments!

• Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3 – Is 3D Photography really here?

This morning I got an e-mail from Best Buy telling me they now have two Samsung HDTV models that are “3D-Ready”.

What does “3D-Ready” really mean? Well there are a few things you have to remember here. These TVs will not turn everything you watch into a 3D experience; your old DVDs, TV channels, and home movies will still be is plain old 2D.

In order to take advantage of the 3D capabilities, you will also need to pick up some 3D Glasses (or grab some from the theatre!) and have some content that is actually produced as 3D. Right now there really is not much out there, but when Avatar and other 3D movies are released on Blu-ray, there will likely be 3D versions for sale as well.

James Cameron, creator of Avatar and champion of 3D, had this to say on 3D content:

“We’ve demonstrated that the 3D market is an extremely lucrative market and this is not a fad, this is not something that is going to go away. It’s going to be interesting because (3D) TVs are going to change things yet again. But the TVs are going to take awhile to catch up with the marketplace because there isn’t enough content.“

Satellite companies such as Sky have announced that they will be releasing 3D television channels this Summer, which will work on existing HD set-top boxes and come at no additional charge.

Now how much is one of these 3D HDTVs going to set you back? Here are a few of them that Gazaro is tracking:

Samsung 55″ 1080p 240Hz 3D-Ready LED HDTV

In the US, Amazon.com has the best price for this one at $2967.00.

In Canada, Best Buy has this one for $3699.99.

Samsung 46″ 1080p 240Hz 3D-Ready LED HDTV

In the US, Amazon.com has a good price at $2337.00, though Gazaro also lists a few slightly cheaper prices from other retailers on that same page.

In Canada, both Best Buy and Future Shop are selling this one for $2,899.99.

So should you get one?

Is it a good time to bring the 3D experience to your home theatre? It really comes down to you. If you are the type of person who has to have the latest and greatest technologies out there, now might be a good time to grab a 3D HDTV! If you aren’t, it might be better to wait for a better deal. Keep an eye on Gazaro for the latest deals and the Gazaro Blog for more great deal finding insight.

These premium headphones, made by Monster, carry a hefty $120 price tag when purchased at regular prices. Luckily there are deals out there that can save you up to $50 off the full price! Using Gazaro I searched for “Lady Gaga” and found a number of retailers selling the Heartbeats for a lot less than the regular price.

If you want the current best price, check out B&H who have the Heartbeats by Lady Gaga for just $69.95.

And if you aren’t concerned with getting brand new headphones, they also have them used for only $60.95!

Another good price that Gazaro has found on these is from Amazon who are currently selling the Heartbeats by Lady Gaga for just $83.21. A good price, though in February they were a couple bucks cheaper at $80.29.

Looking at the price trending chart for Amazon, these prices seem fair, and are certainly better than the official price of $120 and the $99 price that most retailers seem to have lowered to. Amazon’s prices tend to fluctuate a lot, as you can see in the chart below, so it can be tough to know when to buy. Looking at this chart, I wouldn’t expect to see a significantly better deal from them – though you may be able to save an extra dollar or two if you watch closely over the next few days.

If you are planning on getting the Heartbeats by Lady Gaga, now is a okay time to get a deal. If you think you can hold out for a while longer, it might be smart to wait for an even better deal. Check back frequently on Gazaro.com, or grab our iPhone app, to know when there is a better deal!

There are many different things you can do to make the best of it.

Video Chat!

Being far away from each other doesn’t mean you can’t see each other! Pick up one of these HP Deluxe Webcams for you and your sweetie. They fit nicely on top of your notebook or monitor and are currently only $24.82 (33% off). Browse Gazaro’s webcam section for even more deals.

“One of the really nice things about online video is it lets you feel connected to the people you feel closest to emotionally — even when you’re not close to them geographically” – Google Canada spokesperson Tamara Micner

Video Games!

While maybe not as romantic as a video chat – it might be a lot more fun! Grab a copy of a great online video game and challenge your girlfriend/boyfriend to a battle. Mario Kart for Wii is especially fun and easy enough for anyone to play.

Check out Gazaro’s video game section for other great games.

Go Visit!

What is more romantic than a surprise visit? Nothing!

Since you can’t ask them for directions without blowing the surprise, a new GPS might be in order. Grab one like this TomTom XL 330S Bundle and surprise your loved one with a visit on Valentine’s Day. But you can’t show up empty handed, so pick them up a GPS too!

But if you let this big purchase slip your mind until right before the Super Bowl, you may end up paying a lot more than you should. Gazaro has spotted a trend of retailers pricing HDTVs significantly higher on game day (in some instances during the whole week leading up to the game). Check out these four HDTVs we have been tracking:

SAMSUNG 40″ LED Backlight LCD HDTV – $800 more on Super Bowl Day

Sony BRAVIA W Series 46″ LCD HDTV – $340 more on Super Bowl Day

LG 52″ LCD HDTV – $700 more on Super Bowl day (and week leading up to it)

Sony 65″ BRAVIA W Series LCD HDTV – $500 more on Super Bowl day

While this obviously doesn’t apply to every television and store during this period of time, it does reveal that you need to be careful when making such a big purchase. Sometimes it pays to wait in order to get the best price on televisions, especially after the big demand around sporting events. Researching deals on Gazaro can reveal whether the “big sales” that retailers are promoting are really sales at all.

Next year when Super Bowl XLV is approaching, make sure you swing by Gazaro’s television category to find where the real deals are!
