- Sony Up-Convert DVD Player for $30 (expired)
This is a great deal for someone with a HDTV, a collection of DVDs, and is not ready for the Blu-Ray investment.
Sony DVP-NS710H/B DVD Player for $30 with free shipping.
It uses interpolation (guesswork) to fill in pixels, up-converting standard DVD (480p) up to HDTV resolution (1080p).
It does not produce the quality of high-definition and Blu-Ray, but will improve the video quality of standard DVDs a little bit, and may extend the lifespan of your DVD collection until Blu-Ray players and Blu-Ray discs come down in price more.
Most other stores sell this up-convert DVD player for around $50.
This deal likely expires sometime tonight.

- Sony Cybershot Compact DSC-S2100 Digital Camera $79
Sony Cybershot DSC-S2100 Digital Camera (choice of either Silver or Black) for $109 with free shipping, and coupon code HT5Z4ZHNL$B09$ gives $30 off in the cart.
To get the deal, choose either the silver or black color, add it to the cart, and enter the code in the cart.
Every other store sells this camera for over $100.
It looks like a really nice compact digital camera with 12-megapixels, 3x image-stabilized optical zoom, and 3" LCD display.
It's a brand new model, just released in January.
Two important things to note about this camera, some many consider as downsides:
Lack of a Secure Digital (SD) Memory Card slot.
Sony is sticking with Memory Stick Media as the only option for their compact (handheld) camera lines which work just like SD cards but are physically larger and cost about twice the price.
A 4GB Memory Stick Media costs around $15 to $25.
It uses two AA Alkaline batteries rather than including a rechargeable battery.
Could be useful for people traveling in places without a compatible power outlet, such as outside of North America.
