Logitech still lists the Retail price of the 880 as $249, but it has not been that expensive in over a year that I have seen. The price dropped a bit after the Harmony One came out last year. I believe the 880 1st came out in mid 2005 or close to it. But when I checked on it a few months back, it still was floating about for around $160-$180ish.. So when I seen it onsale for $109 shipped a couple weeks back I pounced. I almost bought another 550 (which is a great remote too) for $65 shipped, until I stumbled upon this deal.
Could be a clearout, but that is fine with me. The Harmony One that came out last year was the upgrage/replacement of the 890 I think. It has some nice improvements like a touch screen and better button layout..It came out with a suggested retail price of around $250. I think and it still going for around $200 in many places.. Amazon lists the Harmony 1 onsale for $189 shipped. I would definately take a Harmony 1 over a 880/890 any day, but not at near twice the price.
