For those who have complex home theaters and need some help...
Harmony 676 universal remote, On sale at Amazon for $49.99 w/free super saver shipping.
This was a $150 remote until just recently. Previous lowest price has been at Sam's for $90. I ordered one just a few minutes ago. Already have one. It is a great little remote.
Home Setup: Sony VPL-VW85 Projo, 92" Stewart Firehawk, Pioneer Elite SC-65, PS3, RTi12 fronts, CSi5, FXi6 rears, RTi6 surround backs, RTi4 height, MFW-15 Subwoofer.
Car Setup: OEM Radio, RF 360.2v2, Polk SR6500 quad amped off 4 Xtant 1.1 100w mono amps, Xtant 6.1 to run an eD 13av.2, all Stinger wiring and Raammat deadener.
the Harmony 880 was on woot.com the other day for $85 after shipping and I didn't see it until it was already sold out
Most end users preferred the 676 to the 880 because of the better feeling hard buttons, better button locations and ergonomics, triple IR emitters, and more reliable operation. Not to mention, it has pretty much always been cheaper.
Main 2-ch:
Sony SS-M9; LSA Statement Amplifier; VPI HW-19 Mk3/Sumiko Premier FT-4/Audio Technica AT15SA; Pass Labs DIY Pearl Phono; Sony SCD-C333ES SACD Changer; TEAC UD-301 DAC; Dell/WYSE 5010 (running Daphile); Sony ST-SA5ES Tuner; Nanotec Golden Strada speaker cables (SR+#79 Shotgun); Audioquest Coral interconnects
Rotel RB-990BX. 200wpc at 8ohms, 330wpc at 4ohms.
$300 BIN, with cheap actual shipping. A killer amp for a good price. Mine has made many LSi speakers sing.
I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

Did he sell out, or just decide it was a losing effort to sell them for $199?
I luckily emailed another company to price match his offer. Hopefully, they won't notice his sale has ended and will give me the price match. I really need a third HD-DVD player for my two TV apartment
Oh, got my Audio Advisor stands today. Think they ran me $44 shipped and received them in like 4 business days. They are probably a little shorter than I need, but I can find some use for them.

originally intended for htf? forums with 200 units available then it crossed over to avsforum and he got another alotment of 200. he sold out in about 36 hours. he stated that he lost $12,000 on the deal. but in the end, i'm sure toshiba is going to do something to take care of him...
my guess for the price was to move out current stock for future model hd dvd players from toshiba. or possibly even 'test' the market by selling at the perceived 'magic price point'.

$199 definitely is an attractive pricepoint and if they would only get more movies out on HD-DVD, could help turn the tide.
