Philips 42” 1080p LCD TV - Whoopdy Doo

Top Comparison Site Rankings:
1. BizRate has... plenty of others 2. Shopping.com has... enough to look at.

... Tonight on woot it's a Philips 42” 1080p LCD TV. Recertified and ready to go. What's recertified mean though? Is it any different from refurbished? I hope so, because most of the peeps around the woot hood don't like that "refurb" word. Interesting. Also, Philips 42TA648BX 42” 1080p LCD TV reviews are basically no existent. I couldn't really find much on the CSEs for that exact model number too. I wouldn't bother looking if I were you. But if you want a big tv, and aren't scared of that weird word, this is a pretty cheap price for the size. I've got comparison shopping links to similar Philips LCD TV models above. Check those out.

... This is a great deal on a Polaroid DPA08055S 8” Dual-Screen Portable DVD w/ 15 Games and One Controller. Two 8 inch dvd players is pretty neat. I'm not exactly sure what the game controller is for. Well, I understand that it's for controlling games, that's obvious. But what games? Its probably simple, but I don't get it. So, the Polaroid DPA08055S 8” Dual-Screen Portable DVD w/ 15 Games and One Controller reviews aren't too great. And this is a refurbished Polaroid DPA08055S 8” Dual-Screen Portable DVD w/ 15 Games and One Controller none the less. SO, be careful. But woot if you want.

The price on this set, compared to what you could find for similar combos via any of the comparison shopping engines, is really great. So a Pioneer HTZ-575DV 5.1 Surround Sound System and Pioneer XV-DV385 1080p Upconverting DVD player might not be too bad of an idea.

... Telesteps 12.5 ft. Telescopic Extension Ladder. I have some musings on the toppic. I just hope woot didn't buy too many of these. Seems like a real narrow demo they're shootting for with this one. Hehe. Anyways, the price is good (obvious, cuz it's a woot), but even for people who are into telescoping ladders type stuff and climbing onto roofs and all this, it seems like this is a very specialized purchase for a very small subset of the telescoping ladder community. So, if you fit that group, you're in luck. Otherwise, see you tomorrow.

Telesteps 12.5 ft. Telescopic Extension Ladder - $89.99
Hot Product on Woot Features:
  • # 12.5 foot telescopic extension ladder weighs only 23 pounds and just 30 inches when compact
