Because Sage is too small to get the attention of the big box stores like Best Buy.

Because if it was purchased in a store, it would cost $350!

amen! Buying online is MUCH cheaper than buying at the store. I don't EVER buy Best Buy, they upmark their prices. Too bad my in-laws gave me a bestbuy gift card for the holidays. I hope they will STOP. Hell, THEY know I LOVE electronics but O guess they think I'll love Best buy. NOT!

I'm glad they sell online, saves on export and import duties for us overseas Sagetv users.

Maybe if you are lucky, you can buy one CD.

Or if the card was for like $100, you could buy half of an HDMI cable.

Amen. Most of my Xmas shopping was done online so that I didn't fight the crowds. Based on the numbers Amazon saw this year (Amazon sold 3% more items this holiday season that last while the Big Box Stores saw drastic reductions in sales), I would say we are not alone!
