(Practically) free SBR?

[androidtopp]

I don't know if this is unsual, or just a result of some adjusted pricing, post Boom release, but Amazon has some interesting prices on SBCs and SBRs. Basically, the SBR will run you $292ish. And the Duet will run you $318ish.

http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Squee...3488554&sr=8-1 (Duet)

So...I don't care what kind of crazy irrational hatred you have of the SBR, but I think anyone considering a Controller purchase could scratch up another $26 for an extra reciever! It certainly makes me more likely to buy this than just another SB3 (which is a handsome $250 now).

I'm still waiting for the price of the Controller to come down south of $230.00. I can not justify paying $300 for a remote when I already own an SB3 with its remote. My total cost for the SB3 & SBR combo would set me back $600 with the current SBR price. I think it's about time for a special promotion from Slim Devices/Logitech. A limited time promo for existing owners of SBx with proof of purchase. Give me a $100 coupon towards an SBR and you'll have my web order within minutes of receiving the coupon or promo code. I know, I know... whishful thinking.

I thought I'd never do it, but I'm considering a Duet as a graceful solution to the SoftSqueeze instance currently running on my PC, with the logic being that I can control the Reciever with the Controller when it's near the PC, or from a webpage when the Controller finds itself elsewhere (most likely my living room/main stereo). I guess I should maybe wait to see SqueezePlay, but SoftSqueeze is just kind of annoying to leave open all the time.

I just registered my new Boom at www.logitech.com and they emailed me a coupon for 20% off any purchase within 30 days. I used it to buy a Controller for $240...

Easily done, just buy a Boom and register it

Or register a product you already own.

For me, the biggest advantage/benefit to the new controller is the fact that you don't need line-of-sight to control my receiver in the living room...

I have set up patio speakers as a "SpeakerB" set from my living room receiver, and used to have to walk over to my patio door just to control volume and music selection...

Now, with the WiFi enabled remote, I don't have the line-of-sight requirement... It's fantastic...

Hmmm... I don't remember if I registered my SB3... I have for a while now. I'll try to register it online and see it that gets me that 20% off coupon.

Thanks...

Edit: I could not find a S/N on my SB3... I guess the S/N is the MAC address?
Edit again: S/N not required to register... but I'm still curious.

Where do you register?
