Also got one for $99 just before 5PM - refurbished unit with 90 days warranty. Thank you to the previous posters for the alerts. Edit: Uh-oh - no remote in the box! Have to go back there tomorrow.

They are refurb cause the boxes are already opened. The staff told me it's a different batch from the one before. Went there after 5pm. I'll give them a ring to make sure I was asking the price for the right stock.

Argh, can't get to MT Wellington. Anyone willing to pick one up for me, will pay cash via internet banking/pay pal? Some cash for postage? Or if anyone is on the shore and getting one can pay COD?

I just gave them a ring and the refurbs cost $149. Their phone number is 276 7006 if anyone wants to verify.

As mentioned before I bought 2 of them for $99 each yesterday. Perhaps tell them you know of people who paid $99 yesterday.

Lurch: For $149 can pickup a brand new one off trademe :-) I did think about that over the weekend. I was a bit nervous about having activation issues and issues with warranty. At least through a retailer I can take it back within 3 months and get my money back. The refurbed units that I got look brand new. Most of the cables, remotes etc. are all sealed and boxed up.

FYI I ran up one of my refurb units last night. All good. Looks like new, works fine - activated perfectly.

I brought 1 yesterday at lunchtime - I checked my receipt (and I checked the box to make sure I had a remote!) and it said $299 with a discount of $200... So maybe once the store got GZ'ed they decided to reduce the discount...

So maybe once the store got GZ'ed they decided to reduce the discount... Nah, I've been checking since last week chasing on a Tivo box (initially after the $299 new ones). It was on Sat I found out that they were planning to release the refurb units this week. Even last sat they told me the price of the refurbs would be $99.

Just popped in on the way back from lunch. Quite a few boxes there, no price stickers or display of price, so I took one up to the counter and asked how much. They said $149 - I mentioned that they were $99 yesterday and they said that was correct, but that was old stock and this is the new stock. They wouldn't sell to me for $99.

So the new ones aren't refurbs? They were selling brand new ones for $199 on special, so 25% off that for a refurb isn't the best deal, but then again there is nothing out there that compares to that value.

The ones I saw had all been opened/resealed and some with "worn" boxes So I am dubious that that they were any different to the stock they had yesterday...
