It must be soon, lots of things are popping.]]>Sep 6th 2006 1:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/Sep 6th 2006 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/
Do I believe this is overpriced? Yup. Do I believe it will most likely be the best DVR on the market? Yup.

Call me a fool... but also call me a buyer.

Best Buy's cost is $500, which means the unit should sell at Buy.com and Amazon.com for $600-$650. Tivo also has a $150 rebate on their DVRs. Figure in online discounting and the mail-in rebate and you're looking at under $500.

Compare that to DirecTV's H20 DVR -- which has far less functionality -- which costs $350 if you want to LEASE IT or $820 if you want to own it.]]>Sep 6th 2006 3:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/
I'm less than thrilled with TiVo's policy of your subscription being tied to a CPU. I paid my $300 twice, thank you. If I buy a Series 3, I have to pay even more for a lifetime pass. What a rip-off...]]>Sep 6th 2006 4:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/
The only way I'd pay $800 for this thing is if it gave me oral every night.]]>Sep 6th 2006 5:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/
Use the money for gas, food, bills or other things. Do not put it into the pockets of the TIVO company cause you can bet your a$$, in less than 6 months another version will come out and you will be kicking yourself in the a$$ for buying this waste of money too soon!]]>Sep 6th 2006 6:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/Sep 6th 2006 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/Tivo doesn't do Lifetime Subscriptions anymore. Now it's $369 for a 3 year subscription. After three years, you're billed monthly at the reduced rate.

Also, a busted hard drive in Tivo can easily be fixed with a visit to ebay. No need in losing that lifetime subscription you already own.]]>Sep 6th 2006 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/Sep 6th 2006 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/Sep 6th 2006 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/Sep 6th 2006 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/Sep 6th 2006 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/06/tivo-series3-price-confirmed-800/
Anybody know whether this is a public company I can sell short on? Most businesses don't do well when targeting the "fool and his money" demographic exclusively.

You gotta hand it to them one way: it does go perfectly with that 42inch, $5000 720p plasma from a year ago.
