Newegg, like Price Check from Amazon, has a barcode scan function to compare in store prices with Newegg’s online store. That alone is worth adding the app to your shopping screen, but in addition are Newegg’s great Shell Shocker deals which rotate regularly to deliver outstanding deals on a variety of tech gadgets.
