Although Pleo’s only been out for about six months, UGOBE opened up shop at PleoWorld about a year ago, and to celebrate they’re selling the robo-dino-pets at over $100 off the regular $350 price tag. The promo goes on until July 11th, and apparently all you need to do is pop in a promo code (PLEOWORLDISONE) and you’ll get yours for a cool $235, which is an especially great deal if your intention is only to slaughter it.

Oklahoma Christian University? Sure as hell (woops) haven’t heard of it either, but they must be the Cal to Abilene Christian University’s Stanford (or sub your fav rivalry here) as they seem ready to pony up the cash necessary to fund the next free-gear-to-students publicity stunt. This time the offering is not only an iPod touch or iPhone, but a new MacBook as well — and to sweeten the deal, current students can trade their machines in for a new one. Your tuition (and tithing) dollars hard at work, OCU parents, students, and alumni.

Nintendo’s DS Lite retrofitted into MacBook Air ad

It’s hard to deny that Apple’s MacBook Air advertisement is pretty catchy, and while the DS Lite doesn’t exactly pull off the whole envelope exit quite as elegantly as Cupertino’s latest lappie, it doesn’t do a half bad job representin’. In the spoof waiting for you after the jump, you’ll see a black DS Lite retrofitted into the MBA spot, and while the text, lighting and overall smoothness isn’t on par with the original, at least the music is spot-on. Click on though to see for yourself.

Buy Star Trek: TOS HD DVD and a Toshiba HD DVD player, get an uber-rare Phaser remote

If you somehow managed to hold off on picking up a Toshiba HD DVD player along with eight free titles, and you eat, sleep, and breathe Star Trek, we’ve got a feeling your resistance is futile. In an admittedly interesting promotional move, Toshiba has teamed with CBS to offer those who purchase Star Trek: The Original Series HD DVD box set and any Toshiba HD DVD player a “limited edition Star Trek Phaser remote” that will operate Tosh’s HD DVD players. Regrettably, there’s no mention as to how many of these things will actually be handed out, but if you’re even remotely (ahem) interested, we’d be on the ball as soon as the set lands.
