PURE the BUG DAB Digital Radio £54.50 at BOOTS (instore)

rattla

I was out looking to buy myself a Bug for my Kitchen today and almost paid £99.99 in Dixons when I was in Boots and found them at half price for £54.50 from £109 !!! :dance:

This is by far the cheapest I have ever seen this for.

They only had the white one and of course it depends if they have it in stock (Big stores only I would expect), so I would perhaps phone & check before making a journey.

Also got a 150pts voucher from the machine and 218 points, so only really cost £50.82

N.B I got the last one from the Chatham store.

Most probably -It wasn't a shelf style POS reduction but seemed a manual reduction down to half price... I did get two btw (one for mother-in-law) so there may be more than the odd one about.

THey did have some others (Roberts?) ones half price as well but I didn't really pay too much attention to what they were.

Might sound a daft question but if you can get a freeview box to turn your tv digital is there an equivalent for radio's?

I know there are a few add on modules that you can get to upgrade your Hi-Fi, but I think they are almost as much as the radios themselves - though it may be better for some.

e.g. This one Here.

The Matsui DA-1 was marked up at £14.99 at currys I visited today and they had quite a few on the shelves.

Saw earlier in the week in a Comet that they sell a similar DAB add-on gizmo to the DRG Matsui DA-1 (ie with L/R Photo outputs to be amplified through another unit such as a mini Hi-Fi or GhettoBlaster).

At Curry's reported £14.99 it's worth considering even without remote control'ability. From memory it was £60 reduced to £50 for the 2004/5 Sale! Shall definitely have a look tomorrow.

Why are these DABs so expensive? Yes I'd like more channel choice but I'm definitely not going to pay fifty or a hundred quid for just a radio. Especially when most of them for some reason seem designed on purpose to look peculiar.

L.S.D.

Ultra it isn't just about more channels it is, for me, largely about the sound and the clarity. To me DAB is the radio equivalent of watching Channel 5 on telly in some remote town with poor coverage and a fuzzy screen or watching it picture perfect through Sky channel 105.

I would be hard pressed to pick my favourite toy of 2005 either my DAB radio or Skyplus.
