Amazon Buy Three, Save $5 On Performance Blu-ray Sale

Posted Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008 at 01:23 by MegaZone. Filed under Blu-ray/HD DVD Tags: Amazon, Blu-ray, Blu-ray Stats, sale

It isn’t much of a sale, but it is a sale. Purchase any three of eleven music performance Blu-ray discs from Amazon and save $5. The titles are John Mayer: Where the Light Is - Live in Los Angeles, Celine Dion: Live in Las Vegas - A New Day, Shakira: Oral Fixation Tour, David Gilmour: Remember That Night - Live At The Royal Albert Hall, Chris Botti: Live (With Orchestra and Special Guests), Destiny’s Child: Live in Atlanta, AC/DC: Live At Donington, Bruce Springsteen with the Sessions Band: Live in Dublin, Incubus - Alive at Red Rocks, Tony Bennett - An American Classic, and John Legend - Live at the House of Blues. So if three of those interest you, buy them now and save $5. (Two of them interest me, and I already own both.)

Picked up from the Blu-ray Stats News Log.

TiVo Extends Rebates, Again

Posted Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008 at 01:09 by MegaZone. Filed under Blogs, TiVo Tags: Amazon, rebates, Series2DT, Series3, TiVo, TiVo Blog, TiVo HD

It would’ve been more surprising if TiVo hadn’t extended their rebates, given the track record for the last several cycles. They last extended them in April, but that rebate expired on 6/28. So starting on 6/29, and running through 8/30, a new rebate takes over. Slightly different terms than the last one - $200 off a TiVo Series3 (TCD648) or $150 off a Series2DT (TCD649), there is no longer any rebate on the old single-tuner Series2. You can get the rebate form in HTML or PDF and pre-qualify via TiVo’s website.

The rebate brings the Series3 down to $392.45 through Amazon (and as low as $381.97 through their 3rd party sellers), and the Series2DT down to $65.99 through Amazon.

Personally I wouldn’t go with either of those, but rather the TiVo HD at $249.40, especially if you’re considering the Series3. Get the TiVo HD and pick up the Glo remote separately and save some money. If you plan to use any of these units with WiFi, remember to pick up a TiVo USB WiFi Adapter.

You can also pick up a factory-renewed TiVo HD for $199.99.
