Woot used to be awesome about 1.5 years ago, but it has taken a turn for the worse and continues to spiral out of control. I used to buy something every other week off of woot, but I haven't bought anything in over a year now. Their deals used to be "stay up until 2 AM to get in on the action" status, but now I usually check it whenever I get a chance. Their deals today don't even touch the deals they used to have.

Same thing with techbargains.com - that site used to be my absolute favorite site ever, but now it's just filled with trash links to "under the table" sponsored sites. Sorry, but 5% off any purchase $1500 or more is not a "hot deal." All of their bargains are just repeats or rehashs of previous ones, over and over

I remember woot.com had the Logitech wireless playlink thing I use for my xbox 360 - creates a wireless signal through radio frequency using two small boxes. Plug one box into your xbox, the other end to your switch/router, and boom - wireless connection. Woot had it for $14.99. That's a deal.

Techbargains used to have some crazy deals too. I got my current router off of techbargains for $9.99. It's a Linksys wireless router, brand new - at Staples! In-store! They used to have stuff like that all the time on the front page. Now it's just "save $10 off $150 purchase at reebok.com" and stupid shit. Oh well.
