Great price for a nice remote. I picked one up this evening for my wife's HT room.

Hot Deals...

That is a really good deal!

Driver_King · 12-11-2008, 01:11 AM

No, it's $49.99!

Link!

Uniquely · 12-11-2008, 01:13 AM

Dood! I totally paid 59.99 for mine 3 hours ago! Oh well.... I'm not going back for $10, unless I just happen to go by there some time in the next month.

I would still try to wait for a sale on the Harmony 880 if you can. For Cyber Monday Amazon sold it for $79.99 ( I purchased one) and supposedly it had dropped some time to $75).

Amazon has a refurbished 880 that is coming back in stock soon.

It's $75 with free shipping.

I bought the 880 for $79 on amazon on black friday. Great deal but still trying to get used to the button layout

It does take a bit as does switching between components. But, otherwise you would need to handle all of the remotes all the time. I only use the original component remotes when I need to do something not supported (or easily found) on my Harmony 880.

Same here... at 79.99, the 880 is a no brainer.

fatediesel · 12-11-2008, 03:07 PM

I'd be cautious before buying the refurbished 880. I bought and returned it to amazon twice because of problems with the charging base. This was a problem originally with the 880 that has since been fixed, but could still be an issue with a refurbished. However, I highly recommend the 880 and think that if it can be had for under $100 it is worth getting over the 550. I own both and can't stand the 550. No color screen makes a huge difference, and it isn't set up as well. I have the One as well and would recommend that over both but at twice the price it might not be worth it to some.

darwin316 · 12-11-2008, 03:31 PM

yeah, i wouldn't buy the 880 refurbished... I got the 880 brand spankin new at 79.99

I picked up mine at BB yesterday for $50

. Come closer so I can rub my $10 savings in your face

DavidAg02 · 12-11-2008, 04:46 PM

This is an absolute STEAL for only $50. I bought mine for $90 a year ago, and it was money well spent even at that price.

Galley · 12-11-2008, 05:29 PM

I told a co-worker to order the 550 today. He didn't know that universal remotes even existed.

Go Blue · 12-11-2008, 05:58 PM

I really want to get a Harmony, but I missed out on the 880 deals. Is the 880 worth waiting for? I will not pay over $100.

Yes.

Anyone know the difference between the 550 and the 520?

550 is able to control a few more devices, and has a slightly different button layout.

I could be wrong, but I believe those are the only differences.

Go Blue · 12-11-2008, 07:52 PM

Will the 880 by under $100 at a closing Circuit City store?
