Cheapest price I have seen in a long time for the DS since the EB games trade 5 get a DS for $40 deal.

Great price, wont find it any cheaper anywhere else.

I have been looking to replace my ailing Harmony 550 Universal Remote.

Anyone have any experience with the Harmony 610, for $49 it seems like a steal

Edit: Bought it anyway. For 50 bucks if it doesn't match the 550 I can give it to my mom for Christmas

Just FYI, the DS Lite is being replaced very soon by a newer version, the DSi.

The website changed mid-order for my DS! Now listed at $130 ... i'm on customer support right now. He says he's processing my order. Luckily i printed the order form of it at $100. I was about to hit "submit order" and noticed the price jumped by $30.

edit: Crappy, looks like the DS price has officially changed to $130. Luckily I'm the last person to get it on the $99 price point!
edit 2: damn, there was an issue and the customer service guy kept getting error messages because the price changed. He's trying to deal with it now and will be phoning back within the hour.

Can somebody tell me if I should order the Harmony 610 Universal Remote Control for $50?

I see that the DS at that price is now sold out. Did you manage to get your hands on one at that price?

I have a receipt of the transaction as well as a quote from a customer service representative, but they are still reviewing it. He said he can't offer it and I said that I had documentation that the deal was set. I asked why they can't just sell me the product and then refund me the $30 to match what was offered. He then said he'd talk to some more people and get back to me. I tried to put on my best "i'm very angry" voice but I'm notoriously bad at that sort of thing.

True, but rumor is the DSi will be $200 and not work with the Hong Kong games hack.

LOL reminds me of my wife. I'll arrive home and she will tell me she had trouble with some(insert company etc.) dufus. I'll phone up and not even have to raise my voice and it's solved. Perhaps it's because I find it very hard to disguise contempt/anger in my voice and it comes through before I actually have to get angry.

Seems like it's well thought of. Customer reviews are quite positive. Nothing too extraordinary, but certainly holds it's own as a universal remote.

Only consistent cons I could find were no RF (which is to be expected at this price range), programmed device limit of 5 (at once), slightly small/closely grouped "extra" buttons (bottom half of the remote), and below-average battery life comparatively. Every thing else sounds good to great.

I'd say it's probably a relative bargain @ $50.

I finally bought the laptop I was asking about a few weeks ago today. Pretty pleased with the price. Would like to get 2 more just like it!

Just bought Killzone 2 for $50. Another one I can add to my long list of games I have to finish. lol. I pretty much finished Fallout 3 without completing all the sidequests the other day because it's been eating up time that could be used playing other games.

What a great deal on those earphones....I had to budge. This is the first time I've ever purchased anything and I can't believe there's no shipping cost.

The Planet Earth Blue Ray package for $25 seems like a sweet deal. I bought it & don't have a Blue Ray player. Ha.
