Cool tech deals this week (31 August - 2 September 2012)

What tech specials are worth a look this weekend?

[GTAMCN]

mmm that OCZ Vertex 4 deal looks goood, bought my 128GB a few months back for 1.6K ...

Is the 40 inch Samsung from Game any good? Looks like a pretty good deal, if it is :P

[entrepr]

The iDrifta and Walka specials are from DSTV so they apply to other stores as well.

Has anyone tried a blackberry with the Drifta on wifi?

[biometrics]

How do the iDrifta/Walka work re authentication? Do you enter a smartcard number, insert a sim, pair your decoder with it?

[The Stig 2.0]

Are they sure, the 40-inch samsung has 3 hdmi and 2 usb ports? All i find is this: 2HDMI 1USB...

That deal from Esquire on OCZ Vertex SSDs looks indeed very good, individuals still have to pay VAT, I am sure. Is it actually available to the general public, or only dealers ? Jeremy, please explain.

I think you have to register online with DSTV Connect and once you are authenticated you can take it from there

[smithcza]

You have to register it (the decoder has a serial number on it, you have to give this). If you have full DSTv, they tag it onto your account and monthly subscription is free. If you don't have, they create a new account for you (And then it is R35 a month). Just check coverage first, it's not available everywhere.
