Buy it!
Thanks for the memory
Spent Bt10,000 or more on a Seiko watch and you take home a Seiko Memory Card for free. Designed like a credit care with a connector that plugs into a USB port, the card has one gigabyte of storage space. The offer runs through the end of December.
Sweet surround
Feel like you're married to your computer? Then nurture your notebook with a pair of Bose Computer MusicMonitor speakers this festive season and see how great it sounds with internal opposing passive radiator technology and neodymium transducers. The speakers also boast built-in digital signal processing (DSP) circuitry, which maintains audio accuracy with greater consistency. Of course, all this comes at a price - Bt26,500 to be exact.
Caught on camera
Designed with the keen amateur lensman in mind, the EOS 50D is the latest digital SLR camera from Canon and features 15.1 megapixel resolution along with the new DIGIC 4 image processor. There's also an expanded ISO range, improved noise reduction in-camera photo editing features, an 18-200 mm lens plus image stabiliser technology. It retails for Bt65,900.
Fancy frets
If you're a fan of Guitar Hero and have a PlayStation 3, don't miss the new Premiere Edition Wireless Controller from Logitech. With a wooden neck, rosewood fingerboard, metal frets, metal tuning pegs, and a new touch-sensitive neck slider, it looks and feels just like a real guitar! It can be yours next month for US$250 (Bt8,670). Visit www.Logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/playstation 3/&cl=us,en.
Money mouth
You may find it creepy, but the inventors at Japanese producer Bandai think it's really cool to have a piggy bank that can actually chew and swallow your coins. Just put the coin in front of its face, and the coin-eating Face Bank uses sensors to detect its food. The 10x10x10cm mini bank comes in yellow, green, red, blue and grey and is powered by four AAA batteries. If you want to feed it with your coins, start saving up now. Prices start at 1,778 yen (Bt650) at www.Strapya-World.com.
