Comex 2008 - Left home empty handed

It the 3rd such Event of the year and also the 2nd time I didn't get anything from here...Quite a record for me..as last year I got something from the show everytime....Memory Cards - 2G Memory Stick for PSP, Camera- IXUS 800IS, Photo Printer-HP Photosmart 475

This year is all about Hard-disk for me...Got a Free Agent from the 1st PC show back in Mar if u read..earlier...

Found this useful link....which will defintely save time for those we don want to go to the show and still be able to see what good deals there are....(they usually update it on the 1st day of the show)

PC show 2008 - 2nd this year

Well, it the 2nd time this year where PC show is being held, this time also @ suntec Convention center. I wend to "visit" it on a Friday evening and was really surprise by the crowd...it wasn't crowded at all, I take my time to look see around.


The First thing that caught my eyes...My idea Camera is on sale in singapore...Finally...and is Cost $1499, though cheaper than expected...it still steep compare to the other camera in the show floor...was really tempted to buy...seeing all the free gifts that come with it...(even got Hdd included)....but was really "broke" so decided to give it a miss.... I heard there is another model coming up...EOS 1000D, hopefully...that might bring the price down abit....wait for Sept'08....


The other Canon Camera were also on sale..and the offer are pretty attractive....I know next time...is to come on a friday and just grab the stuff I want...to avoid the weekend crowd...IXUS 960IS llok pretty cool here.....tempted as welll.....


Another cheaper Camera, IXUS 860IS, 8Mp, wide angle and $599, but just about 2Mp higher than the one I have now, IXUS 800IS....though.


Nowadays, the trend is to go Small....and light...Starhub is giving out HP Mini notebook, too bad, I still on contract...else this look like a good deal, though I quite surprise that the review say that this model is slower than ASUS EeePC....speaking of EeePC...


The Old Model , EeePC 4GB is going for only $398.....really really cheap, the bad thing only is that it's capacity only...quite limited...and is only for net surfing..nothing much..


They also have the higher model, EeePC 8GB for $598 though...I wait for their Intel Atom version of the EeePC to decide if it worth buying...heard The Atom is faster and uses less power...way to go....for road warriours.....I waiting to upgrade myself to one...since my stupid Toshiba Tecra....suck big big time....my advise...never buy a Toshiba...their service suck and reliability is big Zero for the jappy company..


Spotted, my ideal 22" monitor on sale from Samsung as well, this is the price I brought my current 17" LCD monitor...I wait for another 3mths to see if it drop to $399...this will make it ideal to get an Xbox360 or PS3. Speaking of this....Xbox360 is on sale...


Cost $499, but it was already at this price before the show...the only difference is the charger kit, live cam and the Halo 3 faceplate...quite worth it...but I heard they are dropping the price further in Sep....and the PS3 is only $100 more and is Bluray....I wait...

Was at the Seagate Booth and I found this New product......quite expensive..though....and 160GB is only $119, damn it, I got mine from Mar for 129.....hiaz...

Looking forward to the next show in Sept, where I will plan to buy something since this time round I did not get anything from the show.....

PC show, 2008, Mar

The date, Mar 8-9, Sat and Sunday

The Annual PC show..is back in 2008. It is quite usual for me to visit every PC/IT/Sitex, whatever they call it...to get some cheap deals....they do give out more "freebies" here at the show

The bad thing is ....THE CROWD...OF Frustrating people blocking all the possible EXITs with their printers...BODY...Baby trolley with baby inside(serious)

2 floors of PCs and Consumer products...(3rd and 6th floor @ Suntec City Convention Hall)

Look at the crowd...

Both sides of the entrance to the Exhibition Hall

The Jam when trying to get into Suntec City Convention Hall...all these lazy people...didn't they know there is another short-cut, take u 5mins to get into the hall..rather than queue her for 15mins...

Everybody pack so close to each other on the escalator...

Blu-Ray player ...the industry standard for HD...HD-DVD is now History...BUT, blu-ray is still so Expensive....$999...I rather get PS3

Looking at the crowd...PS3 is going to sell big numbers...only thing preventing them from doing so is the sky high prices....$549 for 40GB, 799 for 80GB, plus...games cost at least $79...

Was there to get some memory cards (SD and SD HC for my future DSLR Camera :-)) and also to get a Seagate Free-agent Go 160GB for "k" , manage to get 2 sets of Free-Agent for $129. It was really crowded, not enough time to look at the best price for the SD cards, but 1GB cost around $10 now....

My Catch this PC Show, Seagate Free-Agent Go, 160GB, $129, Cool Design

Comparison with my older Seagate first Generation drive...it is actually smaller and better design..I brought the older one for $199. FYI, the portable HDD on the left..is Seagate 1st 2.5" HDD....look how much technology have changed...

Hopefully I will save up enough $$ to get my DSLR in Jun during the Next PC show....getting very POOR after folking out the cash for this....gadget...
