    Customer Choice Awards
    At Newegg, it's no secret that we love hearing what our customers think. All your wonderful feedback has helped us find and offer the latest and greatest products on our website for years. Now we think there's someone else who can benefit from your feedback: you!

    Enter the Customer Choice Awards, a monthly showcase of the items rated the highest by Newegg customers who have actually bought and used them!

    Here's how it works: every month, we check to see which products have sold more than 500 units on Newegg.com, and then send satisfaction surveys to every customer who has purchased them from us. With their candid feedback, we offer to you the best-rated items per category based on real reviews from your fellow Newegg customers. Items can take the title more than once, so if you see one that has won multiple months, you know it's a Newegg winner!
    Gamers' Gamut
    Gamers' Gamut - Gaming Addiction: Not Just Fun and Games Anymore
    Gaming Addiction: Not Just Fun and Games Anymore
    The world was shocked when in 2001, a 21-year-old man in Wisconsin put a rifle to his head and ended his life over a game of EverQuest. In 2004, blogs around the world picked up the headlines about a 13-year-old Chinese boy who fell to his death from a 24-storey building when attempting to fly off to "join the heroes of the game he worshipped," Warcraft III. Time and again, we hear cases of gamers dying from playing a favorite online game for days without rest, with the most recent case of a 15-year-old Shanghai boy dying after 48 hours of consecutive play occurring just this past May. The stories seem endless, each bringing more headshaking from the general public and threats from politicians to stem the gaming tide with legislation.

    It isn't new news by any means, but it's been over 6 years since the EverQuest suicide, and the death toll has only continued to rise. To date, over two dozen people worldwide have died PC game-related deaths, and with causes ranging from suicide, neglect of self, and even premeditated murder, the deeper psychological effects that the supposedly harmless past-time called online gaming deserve a closer look.
