Heads up! Amazon has a couple of deals for Black Friday: pick up the Logitech Harmony One for $149.99 - that's $100 (40%) off the regular price. Or, get the Harmony 890 for $179.99 - that's $220 (55%) off of MSRP.
@10:00 AM EST update - turns out the Amazon remote control Lightning Deal for this morning was a Logitech Harmony 510 remote for $39.99 (60% off) - and it sold out in less than 2 minutes. Well, maybe there will be something else... head over to Amazon's Black Friday page and keep your eyes peeled!
