This week, GearCrave has found one hell of a Friday bargain. No, we’re not talking about a deal on New York Knicks tickets– you can get those for free in some places. We’re talking about the New York Knicks, the team. Yesterday evening, the Wall Street Journal begged the question: is it time to sell the Knicks? In just one season, the Knicks franchise operating losses exploded from $4.6 million to $19.7 million. In one year, their operating losses quadrupled. GearCrave’s New York readers, basketball fans or not, will certainly know the familiar tune of Knick knocking, but the Wall Street Journal brought up a legitimate point. New York sports fans want more to celebrate than the Giants and the Yankees. The Knicks are due for a turn-around, and we think YOU might be the guy to do it. So if you’re reading, Mark Cuban, Ted Turner, now is your time to buy low.

The Wassily Chair, the Diamond Lounge and the Barcelona Chair, shown above respectively, are on sale this week at DWR with the rest of the Knoll classic collection.

Tuesday, ladies and gents– the biggest game of the year, the biggest title since, well, San Andreas hits the market. Grand Theft Auto IV will be available on Tuesday, April 29th at stores across the U.S. If you’ve got an XBOX 360 or a PS3 (and you aren’t a conservative member of congress), you’ve likely been waiting for this game since you bought your console. If you haven’t already pre-ordered, you’re in luck– JR.com has lowered their pre-order price for the 360 version to $49.99, the lowest price you’ll find on the web. You won’t find it anywhere else for under $57 at best. If you want to start playing GTAIV on Wednesday, pre-order your copy todya.

Nokia’s famous N800 internet tablet has dropped its price… After making waves at least year’s CES, the N800 was released with a price tag of $399. Today, Dell has the N800 available for $199 on an instant savings rebate of $50. That’s the lowest price online, down from an average between $220 and $250. If the N800 is new to you, you’re missing out. If it weren’t for Apple’s iPhone, this could have been the greatest tech story at CES2007 (and some even suggest the N800 is the better of the two). If you’ve been lusting after the N800, now’s the perfect time to get one to call your own.
