he's probably refering to this http://www.compusa.com/products/prod...16263&pfp=cat3 at compusa

edit: Price: $99.99 - $20 (instant Rebate) - $20 (Mail-in Rebate) = $59.99+tax

... and if you want something that is on sale at CompUSA, you better get there quick because they often don't stock a lot of the sale items (at least that is true near me). I got a video card w/rebate there a couple weeks ago & it is a good thing I didn't stop for my other errand first -- immediately after they got my card out of the case (last one), another guy asked for help finding the same thing.

If you don't need the one with the FM radio, remote, or blaster PC Alchemy has them for $49.95

I have one of them and it works great.

The CompUSA sale items near me always go to the employees. I've been the first customer in the store and they are all sold out. I never go there anymore.

YMMV

Ditto, PCAlchemy.com is a good place to buy HTPC parts. I bought numerous items from them. Even SageTV and Client licenses are cheaper than buying it from official SageTV store. I also bought an MVP from them, but considering the MVP from SageTV comes with a Media Extender client license, its cheaper to buy from SageTV.

I just remembered that I made the MVP picture on their site with 45 button remote. SageTV might considering using that also as the SageTV store still shows MVP with the old remote, which was taken from the hauppauge site.
