Now that Labor Day is over, the unofficial start of fall is upon us. If you’re looking for some fun ways to indulge yourself this autumn, here are five must-have items.
In many parts of the country, it won’t be long before golfers retire their clubs until spring. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 All-Play on Wii proves so addictive that you might just enjoy playing on the virtual links more than the real thing. Plus, unlike an expensive country club membership, the game only costs $49.99. At $59.99, the Xbox 360 version is also a great buy. Check out my review at .

Fresh off the success of the chart-topping album Viva la Vida, Coldplay has embarked on a global tour that includes stops everywhere from Cleveland, Ohio to Manchester, England.

Think your HD set is super slim? At just 1 cm thick, the Bravia ZX1 promises to be the thinnest LCD TV to date. It will go on sale in Japan this November and should be available stateside for the holiday shopping season. If you can afford the estimated $4,550 price tag for the 40-inch model, consider putting it at the top of your shopping list.
If you have your sights set on a TV as revolutionary as the Bravia ZX1, surely you’ve already got a Blu-ray player. Enjoy one of this year’s best popcorn flicks in all its high-definition glory.
Baseball may be America’s pastime, but in recent years it’s become more and more evident that football is true champ of American sports, especially thanks to fantasy football. Get up close to the authentic action on the gridiron as the NFL season kicks off this weekend. For some of the more popular franchises, be prepared to shell out around $180/seat to brokers just to get into the stadium.

Hey, I figured I would share a little tip for any fellow NFL or college football fan looking to go to a game this year…
If you are looking to save some money but want to see a game then wait till the Wednesday night or the Thursday before the game. These are the days when ticket holders start to reduce ticket prices big-time on sites like StubHub, RazorGator and eSellOut… Why? Because many of the guys still holding tickets live outside of the state or area the game is being played and have no chance or ability to attend the game BUT they would much rather take $50-$100 for their tickets instead of nothing. Think about it this way…If you tried to get tickets off a scary scalper on game day your walking around with at least $300-$500 cash without any idea of what you might get. Being from Norwin in Pittsburgh I always use eSellOut because it is locally owned by a fellow IUP alum. Check them out: or use who you are most comfortable using BUT try this method sometime and notice how much money you will save the next time you head off to a game!
