Gadget Review Daily Deals: $15 gift w/ Black Ops 2, 42″ BlackCrystal HDTV $369, 128GB Crucial M4 SSD only $79

The highly anticipated Black Ops 2 releases Tuesday, Nov. 13. Right now, the best pre-order offer is at Kmart.com for $57 plus a bonus $15 award card (gift card). The gift card will be around all week, but the $3 discount is likely today only. Most retailers are selling for the full $60 list price with lesser bonuses.

If you’re looking for a solid HDTV without breaking the bank, the 42-inch JVC BlackCrystal set is certainly worth a look. Not only does it have great reviews for picture quality, but it’s also received praise for its sound quality – very unusual for a flat-screen set. It’s not a “Smart TV”, but you can add that capability with a Roku or Blu-ray player and still save.

Finally, anyone looking to upgrade to a moderately sized SSD would be amiss to skip over the deal we found on the 128GB Crucial M4. The price has dropped to $79 – the lowest we’ve seen – and this line of SSDs is very well-regarded for reliability. (In fact, this sentence is being written on a computer with this very model SSD installed.)

The 47-inch LG 3D LED HDTV is only $650 and comes with 4 pairs of 3D glasses to get you started. It’s not an Internet connected set, but you can always get a Roku or recent Blu-ray player for that functionality. For even larger sets, we saw a 50-inch Samsung LED set for $800 and a 60-inch Sharp AQUOS LED set for $900.

If you’re still looking for deals, chances are good you’ll find something to your liking in today’s Miscellaneous category.

The Nook is at its lowest price ever by $50 at CowBoom, where you can grab a pre-owned version for only $90. Or if you want a more full-featured tablet, the Samsung Galaxy tab is recommended by 95% of owners at Walmart and only 30% as expensive as a new iPad. And as cold comes creeping, be sure your tires are up to the correct pressure (they’ll get lower in the winter, even if you filled them properly in the warmer months).
