$100 80GB DVR with DVD+ and -R recording

[soccerballtux]

Was wandering through the mall yesterday on my lunch break and saw this. Didn't check this out beyond a glance because I didn't care. I'll give an update today after lunch when I check it out again.

Basically it's an 80GB DVR with DVD recording on +/-R discs. So you can record your shows and then burn them to DVD. Sounds like a winner to me, yes? All for only $100.

Crap-ola. noone has any in my area (several locations)

Oh well.. not easily hackable to back up your own dvd's, although reviews show it to be an extremely good unit for the price. LG / Seagate internals.

My brother's girlfriend lives close to a store that has this in stock. The in store price is closer to $200, but I asked the guy if he would do some sort of price match with the online price and he said they could do that. I'm thinking of asking her to go pick it up for me.

I will probably pay her something for her trouble, so it would probably end up being like $120-130 all together. Do you guys think this is still a good deal?

That's still a pretty good deal.

The price mentioned in this thread should be honored by EVERY radioshack.. It's listed on the website as such.

Try and see if they will throw in a premium warranty as the standard on this unit is only 90 days and it IS a discontinued unit.

How is this deal not hotter than it seems?
It's a $100 for DVDR!
