If you have a short memory or didn't have time to catch up on Crave this week (editor's note: for shame!), no worries, we've got you covered. Here's a look back at some of the truly interesting, strange, and wonderfully silly stories we Craved.

• A Crave reader stopped by his local Fry's Electronics store, and all he got was this lousy 120GB Zune.

• Stop saving your pennies, gamers. Word's finally out that Microsoft's Xbox 360 will dip below $200.

• Dell made a decision: Asus' Eee PC shouldn't have all the fun. And speaking of Netbooks, the nostalgia-laden Commodore name is having a decidedly 2008 moment in connection with that nascent but red-hot market.

• The world gets ready for Spore--and so does the iPhone.

• The next-generation iPod Touch and iPod Nano could look like this.

• Everywhere we turned, we saw Blu-ray, but for how much longer, we're not so sure.

• CNET's Nicole Lee got a peek at the Peek, and then looked the other way.

• Fighting with your significant other? Try getting a DVR.
