itubesiTunes is having a sale on some of their most popular electronic albums, including everything from indie darlings Crystal Castles to mainstream charmers like Lady GaGa. There’s some really great deals to be found with most prices ranging around the $7.99 mark. Here’s my list of recommends:

  • M.I.A. Kala
  • Cut Copy In Ghost Colors
  • Santogold Santogold
  • Chromeo Fancier Footwork [Remixes]
  • Crystal Castles Crystal Castles [Bonus Track Version]
  • MSTRKRFT The Looks
  • Tiga Sexor
  • Daft Punk Alive 2007
  • Sam Sparro Sam Sparro

If Apple keeps this up I might have a reason to actually buy a full CD from them. I always thought the idea of paying $9.99 – $11.99 for an album on iTunes was crazy, especially when you can buy a hard copy at retail for the same price. This is definitely a step in the right direction though.

Utilizing the DS’s touch screen, the entire game was playable without ever using the handheld’s traditional face buttons, which is great news considering the iPod touch is lacking in the buttons department. The Ace Attorney spotlight has since shifted from Phoenix Wright to Apollo Justice, but I’m sure fans of this fantastic series would be ecstatic to have either of the power players land on their platform.
