Get DVDs, CDs, and Video Games Inexpensively

July 24, 2010 — Mrs. Mecomber

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of iNetVideo. All opinions are 100% mine.

Looking for an online store to get very inexpensive DVDs, blu-ray movies, video games, music CDs, and more? iNetVideo is the place! They have a very good selection of stuff. I’m always looking for inexpensive music for the kids. iNetVideo has a good blend of a wide variety of stuff– movies and music– although I was disappointed that they don’t have Hillsong CDs. Oh well.

They do have loads of movies and blu-ray movies! As a matter of fact, iNetVideo is one of the largest providers of liquidated entertainment products. They have a lot of rare and old movies, too. Everything is very well-priced. They have the really old Bible Time classics, old Sesame Street shows, Old Time Comedy Classics, travel documentaries, etc. The PC, Xbox, and Playstation games are really inexpensive: Blues Clues, Civil War: Secrets of the North and South, LEGO Alpha Team, Sid Meyer’s Civilization (nice one!) and tons more. Prices are as low as $5 or so! iNetVideo also keeps a blog, showcasing movies and other news, and educating readers with their broad knowledge of the entertainment industry. They also feature a nice monthly giveaway of a blu-ray movie for readers.

See the site for more details. They have a lot of titles and the prices are phenomenal! They ship worldwide, too!

Together We Can End Remote Rage

August 3, 2009 — Mrs. Mecomber

I know FOR A FACT that this has happened to you:

It’s night time. Everyone is sleeping soundly in their beds, but you can’t sleep and want to switch on the TV or movie for a little while. You press the “on” button on the TV, and BLAMMO!! 500 decibels of TV audio screams throughout the house! And worse, what’s playing at that moment is a Western with all the guns shooting off! Gah!! Where is that &@$%^@ REMOTE?! And which one is it?!

We’ve allllll been there. We all feel each others’ pain. How to resolve the situation? A universal remote? Hoh boy, don’t make me cry. Those things are SO LAME! Do you realize that when the remote batteries die and you place new ones in, you have to reprogram the WHOLE thing all over again?!?! :cuss: I found that out the hard way… and then I found out that I’d lost the programming paper with all the codes! GRRR.

OK OK, this post wasn’t intended to be a rant. Not exactly. It’s intended to be a SOLUTION. Because I found the hottest piece o’ technology, baby! It’s the Yamaha neoHD and it looks SWEET. It’s a remote control controller. It manages ALL your electronic entertainment components from ONE beautiful machine with ONE remote.

And better yet, there’s a Yamaha neoHD Sweepstakes going on. Win a Yamaha neoHD– an $800 value! Wowsa! Interested? Here’s how you enter:

At Twitter: tweet “I just entered to win a #neoHD b/c I have too many remotes, visit http://bit.ly/JMsW3 to enter!”
Go to http://izea.com/enter-yamahas-neohd-sweepstakes and leave a comment, saying why you desperately need the neoHD.

Feel free to get really creative, or rant a little. Me, I’m sick of the half-dozen remotes floating around this house– and two of them are the EXACT same! It’s maddening. The Yamaha neoHD is pretty slick. It would be so cool to win one. Check the sites for more information, and contest details. Togather we can end Remote Rage!

Ditch the Remotes with the Sleek Yamaha neoHD

July 24, 2009 — Mrs. Mecomber

Remember the good old days when life was simpler? That is– when we just had ONE remote? Maybe TWO? But holy cow, look at our skyscraper of remotes!

And from what I hear, that’s a SMALL amount compared to other families that have Xboxes, 4-5 TVs, separate DVD players, BluRay players… I don’t know how people can handle them all. I once got a cheapo “universal” remote, but it died after a year. And that thing was very difficult to program, too. And it only accepted ONE TV and ONE DVD player. SO while it’s really great having all these remote-controlled electronics, drowning in all the remotes is not fun, not fun at all. And we have two remotes that are identical- crazy!!!!

OK, so if you are in the same remote boat as me, this will be very good news for you:

The Yamaha neoHD! This is a simple- so simple I could cry– electronic device that will effortlessly manage all your remotes devices and electronics equipment. Wow. There are some outstanding videos that show how the Yamaha neoHD works. It’s works using an HDMI connection and a flat-screen television device or projector.

In a nutshell, the Yamaha neoHD is a high-def video and audio device. It provides a very sleek and very simple remote control and console. You can control your entire home entertainment system with the Yamaha neoHD, including your HDTV, satellite box, BluRay and DVD player, your music stereo system, iPod, game console, and more. This is the new wave in remote electronic technology! And it looks so beautiful. The Yamaha neoHD controls all these devices from your TV and an onscreen interface. The “initial setup” of the device is intuitive, as well. The technology is amazing.

Nice thing is that there’s a Yamaha neoHD Sweepstakes – win a free Yamaha neoHD! This is one of the easiest contests I’ve ever entered. There are three ways to enter:

Go to the Yamaha neoHD Sweepstakes post at the IZEA Blog and leave a comment why you nee the Yamaha neoHD. It shouldn’t be too hard at all, especially if you are swimming in remotes like we are.
Go to Twitter and tweet this: “I just entered to win a #neoHD b/c I have too many remotes, visit http://bit.ly/JMsW3.” That’s how I first heard about the contest!
Visit OhGizmo.com and ForeverGeek.com, read their reviews about the Yamaha neoHD, and leave a comment.
You can find neoHD on Facebook, too– the official rules are there. Check the Yamaha neoHD Sweepstakes for more info.

This is a very cool contest, and the prize is definitely a winner– an $800 value. Check it out! The sweepstakes ends at 11:59 p.m. EST on August 24, 2009.
