Online electronics store eCost is offering several today-only (Monday, December 7, 2009) sales on game systems and electronics.
The trick with these sales is that you need to purchase the site’s Platinum Premium membership, which costs $39.95, and the deals are randomly offered throughout a small time chunk. If you plan to buy a lot from the site the Platinum Premium club can be worth it since it saves you the $10+ shipping cost on each order.
