... RCA 160 Watt Rip & Go 5-Disc Microsystem With 256MB MP3. I would've LOVED this if they had made a pun on Kelly Rippa (one of my idols) in the Woot title. Instead, they went with a half-arsed play that might encourage you to rush toward the check line quicker (i suppose). Either way. Great woot. Though, I haven't had many RCA products in my lifetime, I always appreciated their cute use of dogs in advertising. Also, this RCA Microsystem with MP3 just looks nice.

Now, the comparison shopping engines don't have a lot. You'll see above some $135 listings, but they are a misrepresentation. I can't tell for sure, but I believe those prices are on RCA Microsystems that are of a slightly lesser variety. Also, can't really find any reviews on my normal sites. I'd venture out for reviews elsewhere, but I have company. Therefore, i need to get this post up and skidaddle. Bottom line, woot if you want. I only give this one 1 thump sideways. Or whatever. See ya.

I think that "sweet" looking thing is something from the 80's. This product looks so old school. Gross.
