Every year, new gadgets and electronics come out for the public consumer to buy and use. Each new gadget has something that the last one didn't, that makes it must have for this year. But are they really all that new and / or unique that we must have them right now? Or are they only slightly different from last years, and therefore we should just buy an older version so we can afford them better than the newer released ones? Well I will list some good questions that every person should ask themselves before making that huge technology purchase, for all time and for new electronics gadgets for 2009.

First question is this, "do I really need as these extras that rack up the price that they're trying to sell me"? We all know that most electronics have these extra offers that often raise the price than if you just bought it without the extras. Most of us go in with a plan or an idea on exactly what we want, and the sales team tries to scare us into submission on getting a higher sale commission. But 99.9% of the time, what they're trying to sell us isn't what we need or really want. So before the sale is finale, take a good look at what you originally were planning on buying and choose if the extras are worth the extra cost?

Second would be the price, are you paying the lowest price that is possible? Cheap electronics are getting easier to find now, thanks to stores and websites that make it possible to find them at ease. Why pay the highest price when you can find the exact same item or another electronic like it for a lower price? Do you research before you buy! Because you never know when you'll find a new cheap electronic that is worth the wait.

Third-The brands. We live in a time that we have thousands of brands to choose from. You can go with higher ended brands like Sony Electronics or lower end brands like Toshiba. Each brand has their bad products and good products, but the main thing that can very is not just the price- but the features can also very for each brand. So make sure that they have exactly the features you want or else its not the brand you're looking for. For example- Sony Electronics makes good headphones, but they don't make the longest lasting DVD / CD Rom drives. So even if you're a Sony Electronics fan for the headphones, it doesn't mean you're going to be a fan of their DVD / CD Rom drives. So be sure that you read reviews about their products before buying.

Four-Follow your gut. Do not buy something just because a sales person recommends it. Even if they make it sound perfect and that little voice in your head says, "do not buy it" -follow the voice and not the sales person. Don't worry about there feelings, just stay focused on what you want to buy and keep that in mind instead of looking all around you and seeing all the new and exciting technology.

Five-Like most things that become popular are mostly over-hyped and more likely not that great. Do buy some new electronics gadgets for 2009 just because its in at the moment.

Six-Don't buy something that just came out a few weeks before. It's likely still has kinks in it that need to be fixed, and if you don't want the hassle of bugs, wait to buy or buy an older model.

Seven-Don't wait last minute on sales for electronics. They go very quickly and to be sure that they have stock of what you want, you should be one of the few buyers.

Eight-Don't try to buy from a person, try to aim to buy from a company if you can help it. Companies have to fall through if they want to consumer to buy from them again. Word gets around if they don't!

Nine-Try buy with cash when possible, that way you own it after you pay. Debt card is also a good option if one is worried that they will need to make a return.

Ten-Have fun, that's the most important part of electronic shopping, and best of all that never goes out.

Now that you know how to shop and be prepared for electronics gadgets for 2009 and every year after, you can focus on finding cheap electronics and what you're looking for exactly. You don't have to be a technology whiz to shop for electronics.
