Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Harmony remotes revisited

I just went to bluedo.com and got the 659 for under $80, with a manufacturer's warranty. Don't have a single complaint, and you can't beat the price.

I stopped at Best Buy on the way home to get a closer look. They only had the 880 and 659. 880 was only in a box, so I couldn't take a good look. I did get to hold the 659 and determined I didn't like play, stop, etc at the bottom. However, the 659 has hard buttons, which were just fine, so that rules out that as any type of deciding factor for the 676 vs. 680.

Taking a closer look at the two, it appears there are the following differences:

676 has: A, B, Guide, Info

680 has: <- (back), Live, Recd, i (more)

Info=I perhaps, so maybe 3 differences, other then placement of buttons of course.

Can anyone shed some light on functional differences here and what I am missing/gaining between the two?

Has anyone bought from PC Connection? This link has the 680 for under 100 after shipping, and they are listed as a authorized reseller on the logitech site.

Hopefully the experience was good. I just bought the 680. It was $99.44 after shipping...couldn't find that price anywhere else, even for non authorized dealers and these guys are authorized. Now, the wait begins.

Please let us know how that goes... I sort of looked there, then pinged amazon on that price, but they haven't lowered theirs yet.

Does Amazon price match if you show them there is a lower price somewhere online?

So far so good with PC Connection. I ordered it about 11:30pm last night and it is already saying it shipped. It is in Ohio on it's way to PA currently. They are estimating that it will arrive on Tuesday.

They don't price match, but they say they'll adjust their price if you show them a lower one. They just don't say how long it will take for them to adjust the price...

bah! must have been a typo on their part cause I can't find it on their site anymore.

That's what I was afraid of and why I jumped on it last night without waiting. I had a feeling it might not be there anymore and it was a mistake, since it was way below other prices I had seen. It doesn't show up as for sale on PC Connection today. I can't find the link on the logitech site that shows all of the authorized web dealers. That is how I found it in the first place.
