The Kindle Deal of the Day is on Michael Chabon's Wonder Boys for $1.99; it's a damned fine novel even if you mark it down for any impact it had in turning Tobey McGuire into Spider-Man.
The Blu-Ray Deals of the Week offers any season of Sanctuary for $14.99-19.99 (61-70% off)!
The TV Deal of the Week is on various seasons of Spartacus (Vengeance, Blood and Sand, Gods of the Arena) for 55-60% off. This includes both Blu-Day and standard DVD.
This Is Spinal Tap on Blu-ray is $7.99 (60% off). Spaceballs on Blu-Ray goes for the same price/discount. Aside: Why has no one come out with a deluxe collectable edition of Spaceballs that comes with the in-film merchandise (especially the toilet paper)?
Deadwood has dropped ten bucks since I mentioned it last week, and is now only $59.99 (67% off).
Drive on Blu-Ray is $9.99 (63% off).
The three-disc extended Blu-Ray Avatar is $19.99 (59% off); look under "More Buying Choices" on the right to see Amazon's price instead of a third-party.
The complete Gilligan's Island is $29.99 (74% off) on standard DVD. And at the other extreme, the complete West Wing on DVD is $89.99 (70% off).
And then there's the mega sale on Sci-Fi movies, with well over 50% off (often as high as 90% off) things like Inception, Doctor Horrible, Serenity ($5 on DVD!), Dark City, Lost, Farscape, Brisco County ($23.19!), Torchwood, V, Lois and Clark ($10.49 for season 1!), Time After Time, and hundreds more!
In MP3, the eponymous album from Grace Potter and the Nocturnals is $2.49!
Amazon's $.50 MP3 sale includes songs from Fiona Apple, Carly Rae Jespen, Brad Paisley, Uncle Kracker, and more.
Video game deals include Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 with DLC Collection 1 for $30.18 (50% off) for Xbox.
The Game of the Year Edition of The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion for Xbox or PS3 is $9.99 (50% off). Meanwhile, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is $34.99 (42% off). The Fallout 3/Oblivion Double Pack is $10.28 (49% off) for the Xbox.
In toys, the LEGO Batcave is still pricey, but at $53.20, it's 56% off (and $16 below other retailers). And if you were wondering what to get me for $Winterholiday, I wouldn't say no to one. ;-)
In kitchen stuff, you can nab a 4.5 Quart Crock-Pot for
$19.99 (33% off), or a 6.5 QT Programmable Touch-Screen Crock-Pot for $79.99 (33% off, and about $20 below other retailers after shipping). The latter also has a $5 rebate available, but I treat rebates as found money in general; buy the Crock based on the original nifty deal, in case the rebate goes sour. We adore our slow cookers in our house, and I really recommend one for winter cooking.
And finally (to bookend this post with Kindle deals), you can nab Jonathan Carroll's The Marriage of Sticks for the Kindle for $2.99 (80% off)! If you haven't read Carroll, that's a crying shame, and you should fix that yesterday.
