Morning Deals Round Up Image courtesy of
• Amazon is taking pre-orders for the iRobot Scooba, the floor-washing counterpart to the Roomba, for $400. We are unduly excited about this product, but we really recommend waiting until some reviews come out before dropping four bills. There is also some question as to whether or not a Scooba owner will be tied to purchasing only the Clorox-branded cleaning solution, or if something can be whipped up at home. But still, new robot! Coupon code JANCLEAR takes off $25.

• We’ve yet to see Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, but we’re sure it’s up to the embarassingly high standards of previous Aardman films. Pre-order today at Amazon for $16.
• And just in time for the holidays, DeepDiscountDVD.com has Groundhog Day Special Edition on sale for $9.42, shipped. It is perhaps the greatest story ever told.
• GoldenGadgets.com has what appears to be a sale on LED-based flashlights, with simple 14-element White LED models going for as low as $5. [via BensBargains]
• OnSale.com has the Triton Venture Light Backpack for $30—but free after a $30 mail-in rebate.
• The Home Depot has a 50% off sale on sale lights and ceiling fans. (It looks like just fixtures that are hung, but we didn’t get too in depth as we won’t be buying fixtures until we find a new place to live.)
• eCost has the Nintendo DS refurbished for $99 plus shipping. That’s an okay deal, but remember that the new bundles now include copies of Mario Kart, so it’s really up to you. [via TechBargains]
• We’re kicking ourselves over today’s Woot!, the Gyration ULTRA cordless optical mouse, because we were up an hour ago and probably could have snagged it. Oh well—new models are on the way and are even smaller.
Highlights from Dealhack
