pioneer a07 retail $169 + tax @ frys

[waver123]

I was shopping @ frys and the guy next to me was paying his pionner a07 for $199 and the cashier said there's a $30 rebate. I was surprised since I didn't seem to read about it in the paper but sure it was a $30 rebate for a07. So $169 + tax for a retail box a07, not bad for a brick and mortar, considering newegg is $160 for the oem model (also + tax for ca residents).

So I'm a proud owner of a07 now
