It’s Monday! Time for some handpicked gadget deals.
Xbox 360 + $75 Best Buy gift card: $300 at Best Buy
Know what you’re going to need right after you buy your Xbox 360? Games. Also accessories and peripherals. There are all sorts of items you’ll need to buy—THAT’S HOW THEY GETCHA.
Best Buy is looking to ease the sting a bit by offering a $75 gift card this week. The card ships out separately, which seems a bit cruel but, hey, $75 is $75.
That’ll get you one new game and then you’ll have $15 left over to spend on—wait a second. Nothing costs $15 that’s worth buying for Xbox. You’ll have to spend more! The house always wins. The house. Always. Wins.
Denon AH-D7000 reference headphones: $660 at Buy.com (today only)
This insanely expensive set of headphones goes for upwards of $1,000 elsewhere but today only, Buy.com is blowing them out at $660.
The headphones feature “real mahogany wood housings” and “the latest transducer technology.” Perfect for all your low-quality MP3 files, eh?
Seriously, all your group meetings should begin with, “Hi, my name is Julian and I’m an audiophile,” if you’re considering this purchase.
Dynex 19-inch TV: $80 at CowBoom (today only)

Is it the best 19-inch TV in the world? Absolutely not. But it’s got the basics covered, and covering the basics is the essence of the modern rumpus room TV. The set sells (new) for $80 at Best Buy-owned CowBoom, today only.

Refurbished Dell Inspiron Duo: $380 at Geeks.com (today only)
Remember Dell’s Inspiron Duo series? The netbooks that convert into touchscreen tablets? Geeks.com is blowing out refurbished ones for $380 today.
These may not be for everyone, though they might make a decent option for aspiring artists or anyone else looking for a portable machine that packs a touchscreen without breaking the bank.
