Everyone loves TiVo's Series 3 player. They just hate the price. Here's a good rumor that could spell relief.

Today, a Gizmodo reader heard directly from a TiVo customer service rep that the mega expensive Series 3 DVR would receive a significant price drop by end of Q1. As always, we'll take it with a grain of salt, but the reader's wrote from a work email of a well known mega corp, so it weighs a bit more in my mind than the average random hotmail.

This could be good news for TiVo's sales of the series 3 boxes, and good news for the TiVo fanboys. (That's us.) Now, just get those Comcast TiVo boxes out into the marketplace, and DVR nerds will be gulping down the TiVo coolaid like it's 2001 all over again.
