Gizmodo: Woot

It's a Woot Off!

Benny Goldman — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 09:00:00 EDT

Better get over to Woot quick, it's Woot Off time! You just missed some awesome Reservoir Dogs shot glasses, but if you're quick you can still get your hands on a Navigon N100 Pocket Loox Portable GPS...or wait for a coveted Bag O' Crap. [Woot]

Dealzmodo: Woot-Off Now Now Now

Jason Chen — Thu, 08 May 2008 14:30:21 EDT

If you want to buy cheap goods at a cheap price in some sort of exciting way, there's a Woot-off going on. Right now we see a $12.99 Franklin electronic dictionary that will probably sell out before we're done writing this sentence, but hopefully the next few products are better than this. Keep refreshing for that Bag of Crap. [Woot]

Refurbed 8GB iPod touch for $220

matt buchanan — Thu, 01 May 2008 12:49:55 EDT

Woot's Yahoo deal of the day is an 8GB iPod touch for $220, a whole 65 bucks less than what it costs at Amazon. The catch is that it's a refurb, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, except that it only comes with a limited 60-day warranty, which isn't quite as hardcore as what Apple offers on refurbs. So, save $$$ at your own risk. [Woot]

Refurb Blue and Black iPod Nano 8GB for $135

Jesus Diaz — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 04:20:43 EDT

Woot! has the Apple iPod nano 8GB available for $134.99 refurbished, which is a whopping $34.01 cheaper than the Apple Store refurbished model, which sells for $169 (and $64.01 cheaper than the $199 for a factory-new one). [Woot!]

Woot! Woot! Off! Now!

Kit Eaton — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 05:10:49 EDT

A Karcher 1750PSI Electric Pressure Washer for $59.99, a Philips lapel-style bluetooth earbud for $2.99 ... You've just missed those, but there'll be more craziness as Woot! is having another Woot off. [Woot!]

Woot Dealzmodo: 10MP Kodak V1003 Point-and-Shoot for $90

matt buchanan — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 10:22:15 EDT

$99 is the magic pricepoint for an ultra-cheap digital cameras. Here's a deal that just edges past it, at $89.99. Unfortunately, the only "pro" CNET lists for the Kodak V1003 in its review is that comes in a rainbow of colors, so you're getting what you pay for (maybe good for your kiddies?). But! It's going for $135 on Amazon right now, so you can feel swell you got a bargain. [Woot]

Score a TiVo HD For $180

Mark Wilson — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 10:48:06 EST

For those who've been considering purchasing an HD TiVo but were hesitant about the price, Woot's deal today is a refurbished TiVo HD for $179.99 plus a reasonable $5 shipping. The first three months of service are free with the offer to delay the inevitable soul-sucking monthly payment scheme of most DVR services. [woot via crave]

Woo-Hoo, It's a Woot Off

AddyDugdale — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 05:33:35 EST

A four-pack of Sandisk 64MB memory sticks for a cent. A reaper gaming mouse for eight bucks. Light-up balls (golf, that is). Yep, that crazy Woot! clan is having a woot off. [Woot]

W00t Wins Webster's Word of the Year, Just Edges Out the Verb Facebook

AddyDugdale — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 04:53:24 EST

W00t, that expression of joy invented by gamers way back when Sonic and Tails were special friends, has been given the accolade of word of the year by Webster's dictionary. The word, which beat the verb "to facebook" has an uncertain providence: while some people think it is an acronym for "We own the other team", others believe it is a mere exhortation of joy, like "Yippee" or, as we say in my crib, "Huzzarahrah." My reaction is after the jump.

In a move of supreme populism, Websters invited people to vote online for a shortlist of 20 words, and it woz w00t wot won it. This was their official statement.

It's like saying "yay." It could be after a triumph or for no reason at all,"

Well come on, people, you could try a little harder than that sniffy little statement—after all, you are in charge of the book which defines every single word in the american language. [Yahoo! News]

Itching to get in on the Zune 2.0 action? Woot's got both black and white 30GB Zunes for just $84.99. Yez, these Zunes are refurbished, but if you're not too picky about using something some stranger's handled, you can save a few bucks.

$99 30GB Black Zune That Gets All the New Zune's Features

Adam Frucci — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 16:30:51 EDT

There's a "friends only" special on Woot right now for an original (refurbished) 30GB Black Zune for a mere $100. It's first-come-first-serve, and if I were you I'd hurry my ass up and go get one before they shut this down. It's by far the cheapest you'll find one, and it's an especially great deal because it gets all the fun features of the Zune 2, such as Wi-Fi syncing, updated sharing of files other than songs, podcasts, updated codecs, and Windows Media Center TV on the go. If you've been waiting for a deal, this is it. [Woot]

Dealzmodo: Woot -Off is On!

Charlie White — Wed, 30 May 2007 07:42:23 EDT

The madness has begun once again at Woot!: It's a Woot off! In case you're not familiar with that, a Woot Off is that frenzied time when Woot, that kooky deal-a-day site, sells a succession of occasionally useful items at unusually low prices in rapid succession, until everything is sold out. Don't just keep refreshing, use your Woot-Off Checker. We hear this is a good one. – Charlie White

Dealzmodo: Woot-Off Still Wooting

Travis Hudson — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 13:30:10 EDT

So the Woot-Off is still going on. For a quick update, there has not been a BOC yet, and there hasn't been anything overly exciting. My inner psychic seems to think that the BoC will be coming later today. No way they would save it for the weekend—exploitation of the cubicle warriors at its finest.

Keep your eye out using some of the auto-refreshing and notifying Woot-Off Checkers. –Travis Hudson

We're not sure why we still get excited about Woot-offs. Nostalgia, maybe. But if you're at all interested in not doing any work and refreshing woot a bunch, head on over. Or just use one of those Woot-off checkers like you usually do.

C'moooon bag 'o crap! – Jason Chen

Jason Chen — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 13:10:05 EDT

Dealzmodo: Woot-Off!

Jason Chen — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 11:45:44 EDT

Remember when Woot-Offs were rare occurrences, happening about twice a year, causing productivity at various IT companies to plummet for the day because everyone was refreshing for the great deals? Yeah, that's a thing of the past, since it's been only about a month and a half since the last one—which incidentally had some bargains just barely on this side of meh-town.

But if you're still interested, peep these Woot-Off checkers so you don't have to manually hit F5 on the site every few seconds. – Jason Chen

Dealzmodo: It's a Wootoff

Jason Chen — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 23:58:39 EST

Attention cheapskates and moneyhoarders. There's a Wootoff going on! If you're unfamiliar with Woot, they're a site that has a deal a day that goes at usually lower-than-usual prices. Once the item's sold out, that day's sale is over.

A Wootoff is when they chain up these sales consecutively until everything's sold out. And if you're lucky and watch the Woot page when a bag 'o crap comes up, you get a chance to get 3 random items for $1 a piece. They can be calendars, MP3 players, or even (for a handful of people) a large DLP TV. Get to Wooting! – Jason Chen

Dealzmodo: iRobot Roomba Discovery SE, $150

Travis Hudson — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 14:30:39 EST

Woot is packing up their boxes and moving to a bigger facility and in their packing they found thousands of iRobot Roomba Discovery SE vacuuming robots that need a home. The Roomba is a dirt sweeping robot that can also be modded like crazy. The Discovery SE comes with all over the accessories like virtual walls, charging station, remote and more. It also retails for $299ish, so this is a pretty damn good deal for $150. –Travis Hudson

For those just waking up, Woot.com landed a bunch of 20GB PS3s for today's Woot. (They sold out within minutes, so don't even try). It is apparent which console is preferred by the Woot folks by checking out the "alternate views" of the PS3. Nice construction! Thanks, Joshua – Travis Hudson

Dealzmodo: Buy a iRobot Scooba, Get Roomba for Free

Travis Hudson — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 14:21:07 EST

It's like a BOGO sale, but with intelligent, cleaning robots! All you have to do is purchase the Scooba for a blistering $400 and you can get the Roomba 401 for free, a $119 value. For those unaware, the Scooba is a robot that sloshes water on the floor and mop up your filthy messes and the Roomba is a vacuuming robot for hard floors or carpet. Both of which are pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. – Travis Hudson

P.S. If cleaning robots aren't your bag, the Woot-Off is still going on.

Dealzmodo: Woot-Off Going ... Again

Travis Hudson — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 09:17:15 EST

For those just joining us on the Intertubes: Woot.com highlights one product with a special price until their inventory is depleted. What made the Woot-Offs so awesome is that they came around once in a blue moon, therefore providing the top of the line items for cheap. This is the second Woot-Off we've seen in less than a month. Regardless, it is going on and you can usually find some pretty nice items for pretty nice prices. Last minute holiday shopping, anyone?

Even though the products aren't stellar, they have already churned through 24 different items overnight, all of which can be found here. Happy Wooting, I know I'll be watching. – Travis Hudson

Dare to Compare: DVD Players, One is $40, the Other, $3486

Charlie White — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 10:20:56 EST

Looking for Dealzmodos as we always do, we found a Toshiba upconverting DVD player on Woot for $39.99. It's refurbished, has HDMI out and up-converts to progressive-scan 720p or 1080i. Best of all, it plays DivX and all kinds of CDs, too.

But in this corner, we're enticed with the Arcam FMJ DV139, the highest of high-end DVD players that scales video up to 1080p, boasts state-of-the-art broadcast quality upscaling technology from Anchor Bay, also has HDMI output, but whose main difference is its price conceit, commanding $3486. No DivX playback, either. WTF?

In a world where few people can tell the difference between 1080p and 720p, this reaches our breaking point of patience. Even the highest-end broadcast quality upscaling devices still don't look like HDTV, even to untrained eyes.

The fact that somebody would buy a DVD player for $3486 is to us certain proof that there is indeed a sucker born every minute. Reminds ous of those people who said they could hear the difference when a different mat was placed under their records on their turntables. Discuss. – Charlie White

Specs for the Arcam FMJ DV139:
ARCAM FMJ DV139 - £1800
Arcam's best ever DVD / Universal Audio Player

from DVD and beats almost any competition at any price

CD player, delivering stunning music performance.

The new DV139 is Arcam's latest and best ever DVD player / Universal

quality, that the DV139 is equivalent to a serious high-end CD player.

separate the electronic circuits from internal or airborne vibration.
Arcam's 'Mask of Silence' damps EMC. Twin audiophile-grade toroidal
transformers, give delicate audio signals a completely separate power
supply from the digital and video parts. Optimized circuit board layout
and a wealth of subtle tweaks stem from Arcam's long history of cutting
edge DVD and Hi-fi design.

Dealzmodo: Tangathon (It's Like a Woot-Off with a Crappier Name)

Travis Hudson — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 11:35:47 EST

Tanga, aka the Woot rip-off, is having a Tangathon right now, which is a rip-off of the Woot-Off. Regardless of their idea stealing, there are some pretty damn good deals. At the time of posting, Tanga has a 10MP Polaroid digital camera for $150, they have also featured discounts on the new iPod shuffle, some very voyeuristic webcams and a few crappy board games and puzzles. Not too bad, Tanga.

It may not even be Thanksgiving yet, but Woot-Offs always seem to get me in the holiday spirit. It's like Christmas morning, wondering what will be in each package, except in this case, you still have to pay for the packages. This is likely to be the last Woot-Off before the holidays, so it may be the perfect time to jump on that present for Aunt Sally.

You know the deal. Woot.com highlights one product with a special price until their inventory is depleted, so far there have been some decent products like a Sirius receiver for $20, Bluetooth headphones, USB TV Tuner, Logitech MX5000 bundle and more.

We've never really been on the whole Origami/UMPC bandwagon, but if you do happen to be on it, this deal ain't too shabby. For today only Woot.com is featuring the Samsung Q1 UMPC for $750. It is refurbished, but that is just another way of saying it has received extra care. New Q1 models retail for well over $1,100.

For a quick refresher, the Q1 is a UMPC with a 900MHz Celeron Mobile process, 512MB of ram, 40GB hard drive, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a 7-inch touchscreen. Check out all of our coverage of the Q1 here. – Travis Hudson
