Similar to the Comcast/Moto 6412 firewire method.  <br><br>I'm intrigued by the series 3 and it's capabilities but the price they expect one to pay is crazy ($800) and then the subscription fee.  If it can do everything and has all the capabilities that we are expecting it to do, then *maybe* it's worth it.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 11th 2006 6:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Best Buy is taking pre-orders for the Series 3: Pick up date 9/17/06 - UPDATE]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/best-buy-is-taking-pre-orders-for-the-series-3-pick-up-date-9-1/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/best-buy-is-taking-pre-orders-for-the-series-3-pick-up-date-9-1/</guid><description><![CDATA[Had no idea you were in Tampa area Ben... funny the details you find when you look hard.

The current Tivo rebate program expires on 9-16.  It's possible that they give a large rebate to Series 3 purchases vs. Series 2.  We can hope it's a $200-250 rebate or that they offer the normal box discount on Tivo.com with a pre-paid service fee.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LA Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 11th 2006 8:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Best Buy is taking pre-orders for the Series 3: Pick up date 9/17/06 - UPDATE]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/best-buy-is-taking-pre-orders-for-the-series-3-pick-up-date-9-1/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/best-buy-is-taking-pre-orders-for-the-series-3-pick-up-date-9-1/</guid><description><![CDATA[You can just order one from the TiVo web site.<br><br><a href="http://www.tivo.com/2.0.boxdetails.asp?box=series3HDDVR" rel="nofollow">http://www.tivo.com/2.0.boxdetails.asp?box=series3HDDVR</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Island in the Net]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2006 6:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Best Buy is taking pre-orders for the Series 3: Pick up date 9/17/06 - UPDATE]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/best-buy-is-taking-pre-orders-for-the-series-3-pick-up-date-9-1/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/best-buy-is-taking-pre-orders-for-the-series-3-pick-up-date-9-1/</guid><description><![CDATA[So, the 17th has come and gone. I was told last Thursday by Best Buy (on the phone) that I, too, could pre-order and pick up on Sunday. The guy told me they were getting a shipment on Saturday, and that units would be on the shelf on Sunday. I called on Saturday to see if they got a shipment, and the guy said they had no shipments, none in distribution, and none in the warehouse. He said he had heard mid-October.<br><br>So, I'd like to know if you managed to get your Series3 yesterday or not. Thanks!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 18th 2006 2:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Best Buy is taking pre-orders for the Series 3: Pick up date 9/17/06 - UPDATE]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/best-buy-is-taking-pre-orders-for-the-series-3-pick-up-date-9-1/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/best-buy-is-taking-pre-orders-for-the-series-3-pick-up-date-9-1/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well yes, I canceled this pre-order and found one on the shelf at another store. <br><br><a href="http://www.hdbeat.com/2006/09/16/why-you-shouldnt-order-your-series3-from-tivo-com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hdbeat.com/2006/09/16/why-you-shouldnt-order-your-series3-from-tivo-com/</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ben Drawbaugh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 18th 2006 2:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Best Buy is taking pre-orders for the Series 3: Pick up date 9/17/06 - UPDATE]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/best-buy-is-taking-pre-orders-for-the-series-3-pick-up-date-9-1/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/best-buy-is-taking-pre-orders-for-the-series-3-pick-up-date-9-1/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just called my local Best Buy (San Carlos, CA) again, to see if maybe they had actually gotten them in. They said no, and so I asked when they'd be getting them. With an annoyed sigh the guy started typing at his console. After a few minutes, he told me (quite emphatically) that this particular store would NOT be carrying the Series 3, ever. When I asked why, he made up an answer about promoting DirectTV products (and something else).<br><br>This is extremely frustrating.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 18th 2006 4:44PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
