Series 3 TiVo Release Date Competition

We have a winner! A special thanks goes out to everybody who participated
Since everybody else seems to be speculating on the price and release date of the Series 3 TiVo. I thought it was a good idea to host the following competition (Digg here).
Here’s how it will work:
- Leave a comment attached to this post with the date that you think the Series 3 TiVo will be released as well as how much you think it will retail for (I will probably use BestBuy or a similiar store for the retail cost).
- Who ever guesses closest to the release date will receive a prize from TiVo’s website (not to exceed $25).
- If there is more then one person who gets the date correct, I will then decide on a winner based on the cost that you list.
- If multiple people win with the same date and retail cost, I will randomly select a winner from a hat.
- Please remember to leave a valid email address when you post your comment so that I can contact you if you win.
- One comment per person!
- The competition will end on Sept 1st @ 12:59PM EST (or sooner if the Series 3 is released before then
)
