Announcing the Orbitcast Smack Shopping Event

Last week I had the thought that there should be a Jellyfish Smack event for satellite radio, and now I'm proud to announce that Orbitcast and Jellyfish have teamed up to do exactly that.

On February 27th at 3pm ET, an Orbitcast Smack Shopping Event kicks off, making many of the latest satellite radios available to readers at ridiculously discounted prices.

So you're wondering what the hell a Smack event is? Think of it like Woot! on steroids, but instead of one product in one day - it's several products in an even shorter amount of time. My wife is totally addicted to this thing because it's more of a game than just "shopping online" and you can find some incredible deals while you're at it (I missed out on a Slingbox Pro at almost 30% off today).

Here's how it works. In the beginning of each event, the cash back amount increases every second until a hidden quantity of items is sold out (or until the cash back amount reaches 100% - at which point, it's free). The deal gets better every second that goes by, but if you wait too long the product is gone forever and the deal is over. (Think of it like "Deal or No Deal" for shopping.)

Another cool thing about the Smack events is that there's a chat going on at the same time, plus games and other contests that keep it fun, even if you don't buy anything.

So anyway, enough reading... go check out jellyfish.com/smack/orbitcast and get ready for the event on February 27th. I've hand picked all the satrad products myself, so you know there'll be something there that you'll like. Plus, you never know what other surprises we might have in store for you.

(And no, I don't make any money off the Smack events.)
