Logitech Harmony 659 remote $67.49AR

My first hot deal- could be even better if you get a proper 110% pricematch, which I did not.

Costco is selling the Logitech Harmony 659 remote for $99.99. Circuit City is selling it for $149.99. PM Costco at CC- get remote for $99.99. Use 10% off coupon- $89.99.

Got the coupon in the mail- 10% entire purchase- I would have used it for something a lot more expensive, but wasn't in the position to do so right now- an Eclipse AVN-2494 10% off would have been totally sweet.

Logitech 25% off rebate form, brings total price to $67.49 AR. Rebate form from their "win a remote a day" sweepstakes.

If you get a 110% pricematch rather than my 100%, you'd get it for even less.

Not bad. YMMV for CC pricematching Costco.

The remote is nice though. I bought it 3 weeks ago and love it!

just pricematch one of the remotes to staples over the phone. Got the harmony 680 for $98 including shipping and still have to send out the 25% rebate off the match price ($111). Get more info over at Fatwallet (search for the logitech thread)

btw i love this remote. i only need to get a "XIR Remote" for my xbox so I can turn it on/off and then I will have complete control of my home entertainment stuff with the harmony (with ease). Highly recommended.

Costco, not Sam's Club. BTW, I called Circuit City's customer service line before even trying this whole thing- they told me that it is no problem PM'ing Costco. I had no issues with PM'ing Costco at Circuit City.

The only issue I had was that they didn't give me 110% pricematch, only 100% and then took my 10% coupon to get it at $89.99.

Still can't beat getting the remote at $89.99 and doing the Logitech rebate- IIRC, there are restrictions as to which retailer is valid for the rebate. Circuit City is definitely one of them.

My PS2 is too old, so the Harmony can't turn it on/off. Too bad. I don't need the PS2 for DVD playback, so it's not a big deal.

After I got my remote setup, it is by far the sweetest remote I've seen for under $200. Much better than the Pronto in terms of ease of use (but not as powerful as a Pronto), much better than the big Sony remote. Only downside is that it's IR only, so there is no way to put the components into an enclosed cabinet and still be able to work everything unlike the Pronto with the IR blaster and RF. I'm not complaining for $67.49.
