• We could have sworn that Woot! just slapped the Archos AV700 40GB Portable Media Player up on their site last week, yet here it is, prettily blushing an image of a Godzilla-sized baseball pitcher riding a tiger on its 7" screen. My guess? They didn't sell out of it last week. At $289.99, it's a good solution for mpegs on the go.

• Walla Walla Hey! Wine dot Woot is offering the Reininger Walla Walla Trio of 2002-2003 Merlots, Syrahs and Cab-Savs for $69.99. Wine Spectators review of the Syrah: “Big, rich, broad-shouldered style that packs plenty of ripe plum and cherry fruit, shaded with cola and licorice notes as the finish persists. Drink now through 2013.” Big? Rich? Broad-shouldered? The Arnold Schwarzenegger of wine.

• Today’s Tangais the Philips DVDR615 DVD Player/Recorder for $69.99, a $180 savings.
