Not at the store I went to. I got there like 1 hour after the store opened and there was a stand full of them.

Well I worked at Target from 7 pm - 5 am Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Then 5pm -3:45 am Thursday into Friday morning. Then Friday 11:30-8:15 pm and Saturday 2:15-11 pm. So it was a rough weekend. Purchases were
Bestbuy
55 inch 4K Vizio on Tuesday for $760
Target with employee discount
Sony HTC180 sound bar for $83 normally $159.99 I believe
Popcorn maker for about $9.50 normally $16.99
Throw for $13.90 normally $25

People love electronics but best Black Friday deals could be found in domestics. Great deals

This. I can find decent deals at times during the year on other things. The only time of the year I've bought more expensive kitchen things, like my KitchenAid mixer, is black Friday. I still can't believe last year when I got one for like $160 after all the discounts, rebates, and cash back. You'll see it for maybe $300-$350 most of the year, technically $400+ but no one ever sells one for that much.

This Logitech Harmony Touch is $99 at Best Buy for Cyber Monday, which is pretty much a steal if you're okay with the placement of some of the controls. I'm going to hold off unless the Elite becomes that cheap, in which case that would simply be grand larceny.

I love the Harmony One, and I got one for my sister & husband then quickly got one myself back when it was about $125. Now I don't think you can get it for cheaper than $300. The only other remote that appears to be a worthy upgrade from that one is the Harmony Elite, which will probably remain $350 for a long while. Only when it becomes less than $200 will I take the plunge, but I think it is the only one since the One that is worthy to take it on IMO.

I've always wanted to get a Harmony remote, but for how expensive they are it seems like they always have 3.9-4.1 star reviews.

Is it easy for old people to use? My parents have a cable box, soundbar, and TV that I'd like to consolidate into one remote for them.

Super easy. Just set it up for them and all they have to do is push 1 button to turn on/off on everything. Awhile back when I had one, I setup my fan to turn on whenever I played xbox 360 because of the overheating issues.

Re: The official 2015 Black Friday/Cyber Monday Thread

Any reason to spend more if it's just to control 3 basic devices? I see other Harmony's for $40-$60.

No. Get the 650 or something. If you really feel you need the touch screen, that would be one thing. Also if you're particular about ways things are set up like I am, you would need all of that. I use all 15 devices and fill up the activities as well, so it's all necessary for me. Three devices? Might not even need a Harmony. I like their software interface though.

The Touch might also allow you to use your phone with the software as well. I know the Elite does.

Nah. Get them a basic universal remote and program it for them. I have 4 harmony remotes in my house and my mother is confused every time she tries to use one of them when she visits.

I actually prefer the Touch over the One. I prefer 5he Touchscreen and the fact that the Touch has double the favorite channels.

I considered the Elite but it really doesn't do anything different than the ultimate. It's perfect for people who want an updated version of the One though.

Right. Unfortunately, the DVR controls placement really makes it a struggle for me. I use those constantly with Jeopardy, and simply can't have them at the top of the controller. I've tried it in stores, it is just ergonomically unfeasible.

I don't use the favorite channels as much, but that's probably because I press numbers often (won't be able to do that anymore with the Elite or Touch though). Guess those favorite channels will start coming more in handy if I get either remote. I'll be holding out for the Elite, though.

Like I said, the One is great for me. I would get a second one if I could for a reasonable price, but I don't think that will be happening soon. Therefore, Elite is my next option personally. Glad you like the Touch, though! That $99 is really a steal for those who don't mind it.
