Finally got my "personalized" thank you for being a continuing sucker... I mean customer, offer from SonicBlue. Same special offer code as has been posted here: $100 off of anything but a 4040. Sadly, 4040 was where I was hoping to find a discount (as with others).
Constraints:
Not infinite money, but a fair amount that I can spend
Right now 90GB of storage on two machines is enough; I'd eventually like to replace or augment this with networkable boxes
Ultimately, 2 boxes is the goal. To me, one 80 hour box is not the equal of 2 40 hour boxes.
So, what to do? I mean, I am a sucker for special offers:
1) Forget the special offers and just pre-order a pair of 4040s, and live in networked PVR heaven right away?
2) Buy a box now, wait for prices to come down, then buy another? If so, 4080 now?
3) Wait a few months to see if the whole company folds?
4) Get a 4040 and 4080, just so I can get $100 off?
I mean, I am thinking seriously right now of tossing $1.4Kbux over the wall...
Wondering what I'd most like to do.
Advice?
