There’s only a few days left and you still haven’t bought a gift for that tech geek in your life. What do you do? Look at this handy guide to the best Geek gifts of the year that’s what. Here are the top 7 gifts, as organized by ExtremeTech, to get to this year for the geek that has everything.

1. Sony Blu-ray player: You can get one for as cheap as $250 now! And yes it’s still a good player. The Sony BDP-350 is available for only $224 on Amazon.com, It’s a BD-Profile 2.0 which means it a newer model, and it has great DVD up conversion.

2. MSI R4850 T2D512 Graphics Card: Cost is about $190, and is fast performing while…

Times are tough right now, with so many people unemployed, struggling to pay off debts and mortgages and bracing themselves for hard times. It may be difficult to imagine paying obscene amounts of money for luxury gifts this holiday season, unless you’re rich or something.

It doesn’t hurt to dream though. So this gift guide may be more of a totally unrealistic wish list for people this year. Unless, of course, you’re rich. By the way, if you’re reading this and you are, I’d be totally willing to do a secret Santa gift exchange.

So, if you’ve got spare cash or a credit card with a high limit, Gamertell’s here to help you out this year. Whether you want to spend $150, or $35,165, we’re here for you…

Title: The Horus Heresy: MechanicumAuthor: Graham McNeillPublisher: The Black LibraryRelease Date: November 25, 2008Price: $7.99Rating: One thumb up and one thumb sideways, 80/100, B-, *** out of five.Pros: It’s an entirely new presentation to The Horus Heresy series and focuses on a group other than the Space Marines. The development of characters and events is beautiful.Cons: Presentation will be hard to read for some and different enough that it might turn off people who loved the following of the Space Marines through the first parts of Heresy series.Overall: This book is an acquired taste that some people will either love or hate.

Mechanicum is a bit of a puzzle in itself. It’s a good book that, much like most of the really good sci-fi or fantasy, is entirely an acquired taste. The book is the first in the series that puts a group, other than the Space Marines, into focus…

Duh statement of the century: gamers love to play games. However, most gamers also love to read about, watch, wear and hear about games or game-related stuff, so we put together a hot little list of non-game items that gamers will go gaga over this holiday. Besides – we can be a notoriously hard-to-shop-for bunch – so check out the following items for the elusive gamer on your holiday shopping list.

Left 4 Dead Movie Poster Pack – If you or your gamer can’t get enough of Valve’s magnificent zombie-blasting game, consider nabbing this 4-pack of posters based on the game’s 4 action-flick “scenarios”. Themed after cheesy action and B-horror movie posters, this is the perfect gift for a..

Product: dreamGear’s Wii Dual Glow Sabers (aka Dual Glow Lightsabers for Wii)Price: $34.99Rating: One thumb sideways, one thumb down; 67/100; D+; * 1/2 out of five.Pros: You get two in one package. Light construction does not interfere with motion. Hilt is very shiny.Cons: Does not make any of the great Star Wars lightsaber noises. Uneven illumination. A bit chintzy.Overall: Like most lightsaber toys, a bit of a letdown since it does not make any sounds of its own. My almost-two-year-old loves to swing one around (sans WiiMote, of course). Only get this if it’s deeply discounted.

Intended to be used with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (and suggested to go with No More Heroes and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess) for Wii, dreamGear’s Dual Glow Sabers are WiiMote holsters that are intended to provide the illusion of wielding a lightsaber while gaming.

Unfortunately, the idealized wonder of an actual Lightsaber meant this accessory had too much working against it before it was even made…

Title: The Dark Knight (aka Batman: The Dark Knight, Batman Begins 2, The Dark Knight: The IMAX Experience)Price: $35.99Format(s): *Blu-ray (DVD, Digital Download)Release Date: December 9, 2008Publisher: Warner Home VideoRating: “PG-13″Pros: Amazing quality video and audio of a great movie that doesn’t lose anything moving from big to TV screen. Free digital download and a few decent extras including a few animated short films on BD-Live.Cons: BD-Live still needs some work for smoother community interaction and incorporating PS3 features (including the video camera).Overall Score: Two thumbs up; 91/100; A-; * * * * out of five.

I’ve already given The Dark Knight a glowing review so I’ll skip the equally glowing rehash and concentrate on the extra features included in this worthy three-disc Blu-ray release including BD-Live.

Title: InCharge Price: $34.99System(s): Xbox 360 (also available for Wii)Release Date: September 2, 2008Publisher (Developer): TeknoCreationsPros: Comes with rechargeable battery packs, charges two at the same time and easy-to-read charge indicator LED. battery pack lighter than two regular AA batteries.Cons: Charging battery pack by itself not as shown (but still works). The battery packs only come in white.Overall Score: Two thumbs up; 94/100; A; * * * * out of five.

Here’s another nifty two-controller charge station, this time by TeknoCreations for Xbox 360 controllers. It’s relatively easy to use and the battery rechargeable packs even lighter than a pair of standard AA batteries…

Along with novelty gift cards, the other inexpensive plastic tchockies I like to scout for are kids meal toys.

As a followup to last year’s Wendy’s Wii toys, Burger King is offering this year’s Wii-related tiny toys intended for tots (but not those under the age of three, of course). The ten toys are…

System: iPod TouchPrice: $229 (8GB), $299 (16GB) and $399 (32GB)Release Date: September 2008 (2nd generation)Publisher (Developer): ApplePros: Incredible audio support and very accurate touchscreen and accelerometer (motion) controls. Lots of games to choose from including standard casual, card and puzzle games, as well as several system-only and online games. External speakers.Cons: No manual game buttons and a naked iPod is a bit slippery to hold. Home button slip exits the game without pause. No external media slot.Overall Score: One thumb up, one thumb sideways; 88; B+; * * * 1/2 out of five.

Apple has been promoting the crud out of the iPod Touch as being “the funnest iPod ever” with commercials that show a bunch of motion-controlled games.

While certainly not a Nintendo DS killer, the iPod Touch does offer some rather decent motion and touchscreen controls as well as all the iPhone’s main features sans the phone and microphone. There are a few small concerns for touch-only games but, otherwise, it performs well above most phones as a gaming device…

While dashing through my nearest Target store, I passed a rack stacked with tins in the underwear, er, pajamas section.

The tins, priced at $9.99 each, include a set of colorful men’s boxers that reflect the packaging: a Wii (as in the console), a red Guitar Hero guitar, black Guitar Hero speaker, an Xbox 360 controller, Super Mario Bros. 3 with Mario, the Superman logo and the Batman logo.

I did find a few listed on the Kohl’s and Sears web sites…
