In ceiling speakers, like the Polk MC60 speakers, are great for multi-room audio systems and can even be used outside since they are moisture resistant. They are said to have good audio coverage in large rooms, have great bass and are easy to install. It is nice to get rid of the clutter of multiple speakers everywhere.

My husband just installed these speakers in our house. Looking forward to having music throughout the house, in the garage and outside too.

This speaker will ship for free, right to your home!

So apparently the Xbox Kinect is all the rage this Christmas. If you’re desperate to get your hands on one, there are a few places where you  could go to get one now. These are all in stock either online or in-store, so you should be able to grab one somewhere.

• Kinect motion sensor for Xbox 360 with Kinect Adventures game for $149.99
• Xbox 360 4gb special edition Kinect bundle for $299.99

Deals @ Amazon (Check Delivery Times)

• Kinect Sensor with Kinect Adventures for $149.83

Deals @ Gamestop Canada (Check shipping)

• Kinect for Xbox 360 with Kinect Adventures by Microsoft for $149.99

Price-wise, they all seem to be similar, there is no one deal that really stands out above the others. But the Visions deal is actually more expensive – though some may be willing to pay that just to get their hands on one for Christmas.

I’ve seen the Kinect in action, but haven’t had the chance to try it out yet. It’s probably not something I would buy myself, as we have a PS3 and a Wii in our house. I think having all 3 consoles would be overkill.
