Update: Congrats to today's winner Simon Peter Hui! He would take "an electric volleyball that talks back" - let's hope it's solar-powered!

Thanks to everyone for entering and have a great Memorial Day holiday!



Every Friday, we're holding a contest here on Ben's Bargains and on our Facebook page and giving away a prize to our fans! This week's prize is a $25 Best Buy eGift Card. To enter, simply answer the following question in the comments:

If you could only have *one* tech gadget with you on a deserted island (or on vacation this weekend), what would it be? Is it an iPhone, Xbox or something else? The "best" answer wins the prize!

Double your chances of winning by also entering your answer on our Facebook post!

One winner will be announced at 4PM PDT.

    Cherry 2000. It's the future, right?

    On a desert island, I would want a katadyn survivor 06 hand-powered desalinator so at least I had some drinking water.

    My Toshiba Thrive...I could use Skype to call for help, plus check for bargains on Bensbargains until it got there. (How's that for a suck-up answer?)

    Whether I was tranded on a desert island or vacationing at home, I would wish for a navigation device like a Magellan or a Tom-Tom. I can get lost just going frm my house to the grocery store.I have absolutly NO sense of direction.Sad

    ooh, a chance to get a Best Buy gift card? With my luck and experience with BB they will decline it or find a reason to claim i made some error. Not worth the effort. I will pass. (FU Best Buy).

    I think I'd want some sort of satellite phone running off solar power so I could call for help and get off of the island. Smile

    an ipad for sure. if I can make the best of it, at least a few hours of gaming, movie watching, etc. heck, with its multipurpose use, it could event help make some shade when its juice is out.
