Circuit city has 20.00 off purchases from 140-200 dollars. I picked up the 775 sony sacd player for 179.00 which aint bad!! considering its a b/m store.
CC has the Sony SCD-CE775 on sale this week for $179 till 05/11/02.
My local CC also had 3 open-box 775's on a display case for the price of 179. Since a new one is now 179, I would imagine they would sell the open-box players for a lot less than that this week.
Do you think it would be worth picking up one of these open-box players and then getting it mod-ed? Might be the cheapest way to decent SACD.
John, given that a new 'CE775 is only $179, I can't imagine that an open-box unit would be too much cheaper. Given the uncertainty surrounding how much abuse an open-box unit might have absorbed, I'd go with a new unit.
