Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio on sale at Logitech $89.99
Thanks. Ordered one---my first---(plus the battery pack) to go with Touch and Duet. Figured it'd be fun to have something portable---music to listen to out in the hot tub or garden, etc. This could be fun! rgro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95444 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio on Sale
Maybe it's all Black Friday price matching stuff; I don't know. Last night Amazon was back up to around $176 on the black and $196 on the red. Today they're both at $149.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio on Sale
What the heck is Amazon up to? They dropped the black again but the red went back up to $197 (from $165). Darn it - I was getting ready to order a second one in red. The $15 spread for color I could live with; but $57 is hard to stomach! I think I'll just wait now and see how this pricing thing rides out.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio on Sale
I can attest to the lack of product placement at Best Buy. I can find a Boom usually, with the various iPod docks. I don't know if they still carry Duets, never actually see them in the store. I had checked online, and it indicated the nearby Best Buy had Radios in stock. I first looked around the store - no luck. Asked the guy near the iPod docks (and the Boom display) where the Radio would be. He first showed me the Boom, and I told him "no, the Radio." He pointed me to the TV/Video area... apparently there had been one on display in that area, but no longer. Finally I got someone to look up on their computer - showed 2 in stock. He was able to find one in the stock room. -- tcutting tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71422 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio on Sale
I picked one up for $149 last night at the "Members Only Event" at my local Best Buy, which is the obvious marketing ploy you think it is. No abnormal sales or promotions that I could discern. But what really irked me was that Best Buy has buried the Squeezebox line. After searching the audio department, I finally broke down and asked an audio sales clerk where the Squeezebox stuff was. "It's in computers" was the response. Odd. Also wrong. The Slingbox line was in computers. Squeezebox was actually hidden in the far back corner of audio, with a shabby falling-apart display (only took my 20 minutes to find.) Meanwhile the ugly Sony "whole house music system" was promoted front and center. Very discouraging to see a superior product line like Squeezebox given such poor placement. Makes me wonder if the Logitech - Best Buy relationship is strained. Or maybe Sony is putting up big $ to be prominently featured. Either way it's sad. Incidentally, the Radio rocks. Was surprised by how small it is. -- ajkidle ajkidle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18929 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71422 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

That is pretty amazing. I paid about $168 at BB by using a 12% coupon and cashing out one of my $10 vouchers. Looks like I still get a price adjustment. Shows backordered on the website though.
