Are you spending so much time swinging your little Wiimote around that you’re personally helping Energizer stocks to rise.

Well, we can help you cut back on your AA battery purchases by introducing you to this.

Sanyo’s Eneloop Wiimote charging station.

This Wiimote charging station finally makes it easy for you game addicts to recharge your tools and to get back to swinging.

With these rechargeable packs, it’s really simple to use. You just drop the controller into the stand (even with it’s silicone cover) and it’ll begin recharging those battery packs immediately. You can even strand up to four of these stations together and let them feed off each other. Then in 220 minutes, you’re back up to full power. And what’s even better is that they’ll charge in order, so you don’t have to wait until all four are charged before you can start playing again.

There’s only one hitch.

It’s only available in Japan.

But hey, for those of you on your way to Tokyo, look it up!

Not an amateur anymore?

Looking to take your photography skills to the next level or maybe you’re just searching for a fancier new digital camera.

Well, you won’t have to look any further as I found a great deal on this Nikon D300 SLR digital camera body. This camera takes 12.1 megapixel photos, shoots eight frames per second,  allows interchangeable lenses and much more. With all the money you’ll save on the camera body, you’ll have more than enough left over to purchase the lens.

Going for as high as $1799.99, Prestige Camera is practically giving this away for $1,283.00.

• Shouting Vase to Drown Out Your Temper Tantrums
  

It’s amazing to me what people will pay for these days.

Behold! The Shouting Vase! For only $80, this magnificent invention will allow you to scream at the top of your lungs without the neighbors hearing a peep! Something you’ve been waiting to do your whole lives!

I’m in the wrong business. This thing is just a vase with a hole in the bottom. Put some plastic flowers in it and you’ll never know the difference and call it abstract art.

I can do this, if not better. I wonder if I can fool the public to fork out $80 on a $5 pillow. I can hear the sales floor now:

Customer: “Umm, what is this?”

Salesman: “A Noise Stuffer.”

Customer: “No it’s not. It’s a pillow.”

Salesman: “To the naked eye it’s a pillow, but let me demonstrate.”

The salesman screams into the pillow. Only a muffle!

Customer: “Wow, I’m sorry. I’ll take two. Junior has a temper.”

I’ll call you guys from my soon-to-be beach house in the Hamptons.

Tired of your using your regular, old DVD player? Especially if you have a nice HDTV mounted on your wall. You probably would like to put that bad boy to good use with a nice new Blu ray DVD player, wouldn’t you?

Sometimes those new players can run a bit steep, so here is a great deal on one at Smarter.

For only $287.95, you can pick up this Sony BDP-S300 Tabletop Blu-Ray player at RefurbDepot.com. An awesome pricing, seeing how the average price for this Blu-ray player from the other stores on Smarter hover close to $400. Although it may be refurbished, if you can save $400 from it’s actual list price of $699.99, it’s worth checking out.

It doesn’t hurt to peak.

Tired of swinging your Wiimote only to realize that the reaction time isn’t quite what you expected it to be. So every time you lose to a girl half your size in boxing, at least you have the excuse to say, “I’m punching so fast, the Wiimote can’t keep up with me.”

Well, better start thinking up a new excuse because those who make the Nintendo Wii have just ruined it for you.

They’ve come up with the new Wii MotionPlus, which is an updated add-on that you hook onto the Wiimote, giving it more accuracy in following your hand movements. And another good thing is that since this is an add-on, you don’t have to go out and buy all new controllers. Your old ones are still good.

As for your new excuse for when you lose, maybe you can blame it on a cramp…or throw the remote through the television before you lose. Each is as equally effective as the other.
