i’m loving this woot today… comparison links abound at the useful linkage blog Jessie’s Attempt at Useful Linkage for this woot coming up forthwith… just wait and see
That’s what they do. They offer the PS3 with a big hullaballoo about how much better the Wii is. They raise your hopes that it might be possible - maybe even a bonafide Christmas miracle. They taunt you with that “Sold Out!” graphic all day long, after a 7-minute mad dash for the 80 units offered. Then, POW! They shiv you in the gut, PMITA prison-style, with a stinkin’ portable DVD player, crushing every hope and dream you ever held, along with your beliefs in Santa Claus, Xmas Elves, the Easter Bunny, Jesus Christ himself, and even those 3 bastards with the crappy gifts, all at once.
Lord, they’re good at what they do here at Woot! Those magnificent bastards!
This is a really nice player. Costco sells it brand new for $170, so at $100 for a refurb this is not a steal but it’s a pretty nice deal. The screen is excellent, battery life is good (twice what you’d get from one of those crappy $50 players) and you get DivX and memory card support, which are lifesavers if you have young kids who just have to watch the same crap over and over (just rip it to an SD card, you’re done, no more worries about scratched DVDs and howling in the car if the disc skips right when Elmo appears). I’m debating.
I love the expanded picture and the use of two different colored rubber bands to coil the headphone cable up with. That and the booger stuck to the play button truly indicate its refurb status.
