Good deal on an HD Tivo [and now a 50" Plasma TV!!] - Page 3

How about the new 1 TB HD TiVo?

Ghoulish Delight · 09-08-2008, 07:06 PM

Yeah, saw that. Eh, $450 above what I paid? Unless you're looking for surround sound it's still a far better deal to get the regular HD TiVo and add storage.

I am intrigued by the YouTube browsing feature they're adding. I might use that.

A friend of mine, who long did battle with DirecTV and their elimination of the TiVo and recently was forced to surrender his DirecTV TiVo is going to pissed about the recent announcement of them getting back in bed together.

ETA: D'oh!!!! Gone within 2 minutes. Nevermind.

It won't last because it's a "Woot off" and will likely sell out within 30 minutes or so, but holy crap there's a 50" Plasma tv including 5 speakers (2 fronts, 2 rears, and sub) for $1000 right now! CNET has a review that says this model, while annoying having only rear inputs, is a good deal for size and features...and that was when it cost $1800.

Just sayin....

Yes, thus my "ETA" note at the top.

But you CAN get a Speck SeeThru iPhone Case - 4 Pack for just $0.49 (plus $5.00 shipping)!

Hehe. Must have crossed paths from reply to edit.

I've never seen Woot before. Is it just one special item at a time or a daily thing? The tv sounded like a great deal though, good thing the husband isn't home!

Ghoulish Delight · 10-22-2008, 10:57 PM

It's one item per day, usually. It's up there for 24 hours (10PM-10PM Pacific time) or until it sells out, whichever comes first. Then occasionally, like today (and it looks like it's going to last through tomorrow) they do a "Woot off" in which they put stuff up for an hour, or until it sells out, whichever comes first. Looks like they are trying to empty their shelves this time around because everything's been selling out very quickly, I don't think anything lasted an hour all day.
