I had a search but could not find anything similar.
This thread is to tell everyone else what you have recently purchased.
Feel free to include a picture of the item.
I wonder if there is a trend in spending habits.

£230 inc delivery


I dislike World of Warcraft, but it's a free mouse. I'm also a trackball user, so I will probably sell the mouse on Ebay, or something.
 
Well, apart from the camera that took this picture, which was bought in June, nothing much computer related at all, though the latest purchase as such, was cat food for the guy on the left.



The camera though is something else, it is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ18. Only a pocket camera? well performance wise, not just a pocket camera, and quite pleased with results so far.

Magnavox 500Gb HDD&DVD Video Recorder With Digital Tuner.

I've been looking a long time for DVD recorder with a tuner. It's near impossible to find here in the USA. I can finally record my TV programs and get my movies off my camcorder. It even records in high def.

The bad part is it's a Magnavox. Although the unit works great Magnavox support is worthless in my opinion. I told them the remote had a clear laminate surface that was bubbleing which was going to make it impossible to read the letters underneath. They told me cosmetic issues were not covered. I said I can't read what I'm pressing. They said as long as you can press the buttons it's cosmetic. That's like saying a book with no printing on the pages is not defective. As long as you can turn the pages it's just cosmetic.

Magnavox which is owned by Funai would not escalate the issue or give me any corporate info.

Walmart however did give me a new remote with no questions asked.

All is well. I am happy. I can record again and don't have to pay a provider monthly fees for a DVR service. And I got it on sale for $280.00

I have joined the 21 Century :)

My last mobile belonged to my son - 13 years ago !!!! ( and he had it for 2 years before that )
I have used it ever since.
My broadband company emailed me with an offer I couldn't refuse.

Samsung Galaxy Y with 250 texts / 100 calls / 200MB d/l ..............all for £5 / month.

I know some will say that 100 calls etc isn't enough .....but if you consider that my mobile monthly bill for years has rarely been above £3 this suits me down to the ground :)
 
Didn't win anything on the lottery. Curses!

Damaged Xbox 360 £69.99 inc. Delivery.
Steam cleaner £14.99 inc. Delivery. (Might make cleaning slightly more fun! Unless it explodes)
 
Not quite a new purchase yet as finances won't stretch that far at the moment, but looking at something along the lines of one of these.

Not specifically that screen or model, just want a touch screen to see how I get on with it, but not going for the complete computer and screen as I already have too many computers as it is, so just need a monitor that will work with this Windows 7 one I already have.

Yep, came across their website while looking round, I just posted the Amazon link to show the idea, and just wondering if I can get one locally. Good website though.
Will have to wait for a while though, first priority is either get the rusty old Ford Ka through another MOT, or if forced, find another old banger.

As much as I can appreciate touch screen monitors, if it is anything like my tablets or mobile phone I would spend more time cleaning it than using it. My fingers get damn greasy or sweaty no matter what.
