The Series3 units are back in, and we have pretty good stock so we should have these around for a while now. We have all three sizes that we show here:
We’re working through our backorder list today and we should have all of those units out to UPS by the end of the day.
If you get our email, you already know about the coupon codes we sent out for Series3 TiVos. Starting last night, we added a new, simple way to save on just about any purchase on our site. For a limited time, if you use Google Checkout to pay for your order, you will automatically save $10 off of any $30+ purchase (before tax and any expedited shipping charges…ground shipping is free).
If you’ve been reading the blog, you know about the ADDITIONAL $10 off $30 coupon available (for a limited time) if you use Google Checkout.
I’ll do the math for you: That’s $20 off a $30 purchase!
And, to make things even better, the $20 off $30 can be used together with the coupons we emailed! You can use THREE DISCOUNTS in one order.
Want specific instructions? Here we go:
1) Add items to your cart that equal or exceed the total required by the coupons you want to use ($30 for the two Google Checkout coupons; higher for our coupons).
2) Enter the coupon code we emailed to you (either $25 off a $750 purchase or $50 off a $1000 purchase). Enter that in the “Coupon Code” box that appears BELOW the Google Checkout button on our site. You MUST enter that coupon code BEFORE you click the Google Checkout button.
3) Then, click the “Google Checkout button. You will immediately see one of the $10 off $30 coupons applied.
4) After you log in to Google Checkout, enter the other $10 off $30 coupon, which we posted in the blog (link above).
Didn’t get the email and want the coupons? Just sign up for our email list by October 12th and put the words “need coupons” in the comments/questions section and we’ll email the coupons to you.
The Google Coupons could expire quickly; the current round of weaKnees coupons expire 10/15.
Thanks for reading.
We’ve been getting a lot of inquiries into our stock status on the Series3 HD TiVo DVRs. And that status is: we have them. But we’re not too certain that we’ll have them continuously. Our guess is that we’ll run out before we get more. We’ll likely run out later this week, and it sounds like the soonest we’ll have the next shipment is about two weeks from now. So if you want one soon, you should order soon.
We just received our inventory of Series3 TiVos. We’ll be working furiously over the next day or two to get our pre-orders out, so if you have a pre-order in, watch for your tracking number by email. The first round of boxes (stock only) went out tonight…. (We got the boxes about 15 minutes before UPS showed up, so we had no time to get anything other than the stock-box orders out.) Tracking numbers for those who bought upgraded TiVos will start rolling out tomorrow night. Stay tuned!
For those who have already purchased (or filled up?) your Series3 TiVo, we’ve got upgrade kits available. They are quite easy to install and we’ll be putting up installation instructions on the website soon. The kits are available in 500GB (60 HD hours) or 750B (100 HD hours), and replace the 250GB in the S3 from the factory. For better or worse, the S3 is so jammed with stuff that there is no physical room for a second drive. Also, for now, the eSATA ports on the unit are disabled, so if you want more space, an upgrade kit is the only way to go.
Also available, COMPLETE Series3 units with up to 100 hours of HD recording capacity….AND you can transfer your existing lifetime TiVo service to a weaKnees unit for $199.
Finally, we have said it many times before, but if you’re not on our mailing list, you are missing discount coupons and other tidbits that could save you money on this cutting edge technology.
