So, being the TiVo fan I am, and having already one Series 3 in the house, I ordered the TiVo HD on Tivo.com the day it was announced. I noticed that almost as soon as I placed the order, the order status showed that it wouldn't ship until mid-August. I let this go for a week or two before I decided to break down and start looking locally.
So, on our anniversary, my wife gave me the go ahead to place the order online with Best Buy and pick it up at one of the local stores. I placed the order, received my confirmation email, and then finally received the "come get it" email. So, I drove into the city to pick it up. I walked in, signed the receipt, walked out with the box, and headed home.
After avoiding the temptation for about an hour, I finally cracked open the box (even though I didn't have the cablecards yet from my provider). I mainly wanted to see how the design of the box differed from my Series 3. I pulled out the remote, then the box. Low and behold, a Series 3! I checked the box (identical box to my Series 3) and noticed it says TiVo HD on the top and sides - which probably confused the person picking the item from the shelf. I checked the receipt - charged for the Tivo HD. So, I have a second Series 3 though I ordered the TiVo HD.
I won't mention what I've chosen to do, but I'd like to hear what you'd do if that situation were to present itself.
Just curious.
