Phew, you made it. Friday is finally here, and it's time to kick off your weekend with some great bargains. Check out Gearlog's finds for today.

1. OK, this is geeky: Dr. Pepper/Ssven-Up Inc. promised to give everyone in America a free Dr. Pepper if Guns N' Roses released the album "Chinese Democracy" in 2008 (it had been in the works since 1994). Well, Axl proved the naysayers wrong, and the album officially will be on sale this Sunday. Go to Dr. Pepper's Web site on Sunday, November 23, and get a coupon for a free Dr. Pepper. Remember, the offer only is valid on Sunday, so don't miss it--and rock on.

2. Star Wars fans: Woot is offering the awesome "Star Wars Vault: 30 Years of Treasures From the Lucasfilm Archives" (above) for only $29.99. It has a list price of $85, so this is a steal. The "Star Wars Vault" is the official illustrated book celebrating the 30th anniversary of the first "Star Wars" movie, which includes removable reproductions of memorabilia, along with two CDs of vintage radio ads, original cast interviews, George Lucas' commentary, and even Carrie Fisher singing in the "Star Wars Holiday Special." Whoa.

3. As part of Amazon's Friday sale, the Web site offers five albums for $5 each.Today's selection includes "the latest album of covers from James Taylor, the epic double-disc final statement from rap legend Notorious B.I.G., aggro rock from Theory of a Deadman, classic smoothness from the Carpenters, and an underground hip-hop masterpiece from Madvillain." You really can't beat buying an entire album online for $5.
