Amazon.com makes their Wish List universal.

I’m a long-time fan of Amazon.com’s Wish List service as you can probably tell by the link to mine in the sidebar. It solved one of the ongoing problems I had as an adult of being asked what I wanted for my birthday/Krismas/whatever and not being able to recall anything that didn’t cost an arm . . . → Read More: Amazon.com makes their Wish List universal.

Amazon.com really needs to work on their product suggestion routines.

Got the following email just a few moments ago:

We’ve noticed that customers who have purchased or rated Mercenaries or other games in the PlayStation 2 > Adventure category have also purchased Disney Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour. For this reason, you might like to know that Disney Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour will be . . . → Read More: Amazon.com really needs to work on their product suggestion routines.

The only problem with ordering an anticipated game through Amazon.com…

… is the fact that you rarely get to play it on launch day. The copy of Grand Theft Auto IV Collector’s Edition Anne bought me for our anniversary shipped on Monday. Which means it’ll probably arrive either about the time I leave for work today or sometime tomorrow at the earliest. You’d think Amazon . . . → Read More: The only problem with ordering an anticipated game through Amazon.com…

Hear a song in GTA IV you like? You can buy it in-game.

Now here’s an interesting idea: Rockstar Games and Amazon.com have teamed up to bring you the option of buying any of the tracks you hear in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV from within the game itself:

For those of you who have been asking in email…

… yes, my Amazon.com Wish List is up to date. It’s always up to date because I read a lot of video game and gadget related blogs and am always finding stuff to put on it and then looking at it to see if there’s anything I’m not that sure I want anymore to remove. . . . → Read More: For those of you who have been asking in email…

Correction: I will NOT be doing some video blogging soon.

Got an email from Amazon.com that the release date on the RCA EZ 201 flash RAM based video cam I had ordered had been pushed back until sometime in November, which is weird as Amazon lists three different affiliated shops selling the camera that all claim to have it in stock. Given that I just . . . → Read More: Correction: I will NOT be doing some video blogging soon.

NBC dumps Apple’s iTunes and moves to Amazon’s Unbox for video downloads.

NBC hasn’t been happy with Apple for awhile now in part because Apple refuses to deviate from its one-price-fits-all policy for downloads. So NBC decided to take its ball and go play with Amazon’s new Unbox download service. The other reason for the switch? Amazon’s Unbox allows for more restrictive DRM on downloads:

Amazon.com beta testing contextual links.

Most of you know that I’ve been a member of the Amazon Associates program for awhile now and when I do reviews of stuff I usually build in links to Amazon for folks interested in purchasing them. I’ve made a couple of bucks off these links, but nothing substantial and that’s fine as I never . . . → Read More: Amazon.com beta testing contextual links.
