Lil' Wil's Discount Warehouse

Posted September 29, 2006 - By Dana Leahy

Lil' Wil drove his truck all the way to Japan to bring us the best deals for this week.

You know Lil' Wil always brings the hotness and I know he's going to have something special up his sleeve for his trip to the land of the rising sun.

Click below to check the bullet points!

Panasonic RP-HTX7 Headphones

These over-the-air headphones are awesome. Not only do they sound great, they also do a great job of blocking out environmental noise. They’re pretty sleek and stylish and come in a variety of colors. I chose black because, well, I wasn’t feeling the iPod white.

They’re powered by 40mm drivers and their bass response was great. Not surprisingly the mids and higher frequencies were likewise good. In Tokyo I paid around 6000 yen for the set (that’s roughly $60) but found them online at AudioCubes.com for $70.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01 (White) Digital Camera

When I was shopping at Akihabara I wanted to find a digital camera that not only looked good, but took great pics and was also SD compatible. I found exactly what I was looking for with the Lumix DMC-FX01 from Panasonic. A 6-megapixel camera with 3.6x optical zoom, this baby also boasts an awesome wide angle Leica lens. It’s pretty small and comes in a variety of colors.

The interesting thing about this camera is that I paid 33400 yen for it in Tokyo (that’s roughly $334) but I found one online at BuyDig.com for $240. The thing is, I never would have found that thing at my local BestBuy.

Sony Vaio VN-CX1/B Skype Mouse Phone

This is easily the coolest thing I found in Japan. Since I didn’t have a cell phone, the best way to communicate with the folks back home was with Skype. The thing is; I got tired of yelling at my laptop. The Sony Vaio VN-CX1/B Skype Mouse Phone is perfect for travelers. It acts a mouse and when you need to make a call, you flip it open and bam, you’re talking away. It’s basically a speaker and microphone that plugs into your USB (not a terribly complicated piece of equipment) but the sound quality is way better than your run-of-the-mill display mounted microphone.

This thing isn’t cheap, though. I paid 6652 yen for it in Tokyo (about $66) and only found it online for $100.

*Works with Windows XP
*Price in Tokyo: 6652Yen
