Amen brother, preach on! Preach on!

Yes. Everyone has noticed.

What is up with that product description? I don't even know how to read that. Clearly no one from Woot has ever been to Park Slope.

So now I get my Woot-Off lights...

Awesome, I'm in for 3! Oh wait, it's not a woot-off, I don't have to lie...

Is there a way to get Woot updates on your phone?

Yay The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald!! Great song!

Does this thing play well with iTunes?

Gust farm? What in the hell is a gust farm? Is it one of those things where you harvest the energy of the wind?

only if you dont update the itunes...

the new itunes update makes it so you cant.

From my experience, Memorex = Total Junk. I bought a Memorex blu-ray player (from woot too) and it was total garbage. Be forewarned. Thanks woot for selling crappy items. Now I won't even consider buying anything you sell. This website is an embodiment of the saying, "You get what you pay for."

My kid wants us to get him an MP3 player but he said that it has to be able to play (That racket he claims is rock and roll by some guy named.) Led Zeppelin.

So I just wanted to double check this will play Mr. Zeppelin's 'music?'

Thanks for your help.

And by the way--Elvis IS Rock And Roll!!!

Ha! got them yesterday. Croooooooooow!!

Well, I hate to Mitchell about the scaffolding in my baby of the cosmos, but .....

Well, the first Mitchell is that it's not a bag at all. It's a box. Now if you want to call it a box of scaffolding, fine, but if it is called a baby of the cosmos (as it is), there should be .... well, there should be a bag.

But I digress .....

So I open my Box of scaffolding and inside is a box address from Home Shopping Network to {name omitted to protect their privacy}. Only it's being returned to HSN. Because it's DEFECTIVE. See, it should have been, as we say here, "respiffed"; but it wasn't. It was put into a box of scaffolding, as-was, BROKEN.

Now I know a lot of you Mitchell about "respiffed" stuff (especially hard drives, God forbid, when woot offers respiffed hard drives, Oh my God ....).

But, personally, I have nothing against "respiffed" stuff, in fact I buy quite a lot of it. It saves a lot of money and the stuff is mostly as good as new.

But there is something that is arguably much worse than "respiffed" stuff ... that is stuff that was returned for "respiffing" but it was never "respiffed" at all, it was just resold as it was, e.g. BROKEN. Even in the box showing it was an HSN item being returned to HSN by {name witheld to protect privacy}.

By the way, in case you are wondering .... the HSN item in need of respiffing was a pair of electric candles. I offered them to my wife, who promptly tore a new opening in my lower body. She said that the whole purpose of candles is to be romantic (typical woman) and that the whole concept of "electric candles" (e.g. a battery and light bulb inside some frosted plastic) is the antithesis of romance. [My pleas that these were perfectly romantic resulted in contempt and scorn (I get a lot of that these days)]. I guess she's right; these were not even the new-fangled "LED" electric candles, and they don't even "flicker". They are just .... batteries and a light bulb (well, ok, rechargeable batteries and a light bulb). Does HSN really sell this scaffolding? Our Movie Genre, they are worse than Woot, if that's possible.

[rest of box of scaffolding: 3 really bad DVDs (anyone want a copy of "Team America, World Police?), ***FIVE*** cheap "Creative Labs" earbud type MP3 player headphones (FIVE? Creative? Now if it was Sansa I might understand, but Creative?) and a camera case. The camera case doesn't seem that bad, actually. If it needed "respiffing", at least it got "respiffed".

Which is more than I can say for crappy electric candles.

Ooo that's tough, you must've got some of the cheaper candles. I got the wax electric pillar candles for the women in my life and they liked them... they flicker like normal candles, and even have a timer so you don't even have to worry about being to lazy. You can't tell these aren't real if they are on unless you look down into them. And you really can't tell if they are off, so you have to put a piece of paper over the fake wick with the words "don't light this electric candle". :D

*hands you a xanax* You need to chill. Take a deep breath and calm down. And if you want something and you are on a budget, then you save up and buy it just like I did. You can make it happen! (but first take the xanax...)

3 broken ipods ago, my girl and I both got Meizu M6 miniplayers. Never looked back, they both work like new after 2+ years of abuse.

Hers was washing/drying machined TWICE with her jeans. Yet bugger still keeps ticking. Video/Music/Radio everything.

One of the best chinese engineered products we've ever used. A very active community forum doesn't hurt either. =)

EDIT: What the cråp? You haven't even had your woot account for 2 weeks. You shouldn't just go freely offering prescription medication to strangers.

Highly doubtful... I'd venture to guess plastic and harder plastic.

is anyone willing to put 50$ in my paypal account if i send them 50$ cash?

im only 15 and my mom stopped giving me her credit card for woot!

Old Memorex Tape Ad Man in Chair Getting Blown Away by Tape Performance.

Ya, still stoked about the 80 gb zune I got last week so no thamks whoooooooo!

t3hWIT has w00ter's remorse after realizing that the boombox he purchased to listen to at work was made by Memorex.

It stopped recognizing CD's after a week's use. Shame.

Apparently Montana said a collective "Do not want!"

I love how they turn it around when they don't want people to know that they were really serious. It's ok. No one really cares.

drewcp wrote:I used to have a Zune. It was a white 30GB from woot. I sold it to my dad and went back to an iPod. I do not regret it. Your post kind of hints on my reason why, I didn't want a ROCK I wanted an MP3 player.

Baaaaaaaaa! Baaaaaaaaaaa! Follow the rest of the crowd... ;-P And BTW, an iPod is not an MP3 player, as it cannot play MP3s. It only plays Apple's format, and must convert any MP3s to said format in order to play them. Thus, it is not an MP3 player. In fact, I believe that it is the ONLY brand of portable music player that will _not_ play MP3s. It is not based upon any standard format and is designed in such a way as to force you to stay on the proprietary format as most Apple products do. You have entered the land of the Lotus eaters, where everything seems grand, but you are not allowed to ever leave.

Although I will say that the Zune 1.0 was not nearly as nice as the interface that they have now. Fortunately, they're on version 3.0 of the software now, and it's significantly better. The navigation is simple and elegant, and the software much more powerful. I like the controls much better than the iPod...since when is clockwise down and counterclockwise up? There is no logical reason for that...no vector maps to that movement. Gah, but I hate that farking wheel on the iPlop! Now, on the Zune, they do something really novel and space-age...that's right, up is up, down is down, right is right, and -- you guessed it! -- left is left! Huzzah! Praise holy logic! I also like the fact that I don't need a converter to put my files on there...I can put MP4s on there, MP3s, wmv, wma, avi (including divx), mpeg, etc. without needing conversion. And, I'm not locked into stupid iTunes and can take my music where I want. And if you're fickle about your music, just get Zune pass and listen to whatever music you want whenever you want as a subscription service. Sweet.
