DR800SG now also available at CAR TOYS
here's a link
same price though as at BestBuy *** that's funny/ironic, seems you can pay through amazon.com *** Last edited by pauli; 02-26-2010 at 06:39 PM. |

Haven't heard of them before. iRex has said they're only distributing through BestBuy, wonder where this place is getting their DR800SGs from?

They have quite a few brick and mortar stores in Texas for auto accessories (electronics). Very popular here for auto gadgets.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Kind of struck me as a little odd, especially since iRex has so far been saying BestBuy only for now. I sent iRex a note asking if this was legit. Maybe when they said more retailers would be added later, they meant this soon.
I'll let you know what I hear back from iRex. |

Unless you live in Washington, Colorado or Texas you should pay no tax.

Yeah, apparently they carry the Astak in their store. I had no idea...
They don't have the iRex in-store, unfortunately. |

Strange thing is that if I choose "pay with Amazon.com" option I even get $40 promotional discount. Combined with $0 sales tax (I'm in California), that makes me save more than 70 bucks. Interesting..

Says on the site "in Stock", if this is legit, think I will cancel bb and go with them, I would have to pay tax but still save about 16.00

The one in BestBuy is premium limited edition as they wrote in their email to me
(IREX-Digital Reader Premium Limited Edition-DR800SG-US-BK-VD) So, may be the one in CAR TOYS is different ( not premium limited ) ?????? |

A neoprene sleeve and regular plastic stylus is far from premium. |
