Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / June 2004Sirius Circuit City Deal Over?
So I finally made up my mind to get a Sirius receiver, with home and car docks. I went to Circuit City looking for the deal where you get one dock free with the receiver and a $50 card, meaning I could get the receiver and both docks for $100, essentially. This deal is over. Now the same package costs $200! Well, this made me skip the whole thing. I mean, now I am looking for a similar deal elsewhere (but of course not finding it). I just can't bring myself to spend $200 when others have spent half. Does this deal run periodically? I know there is a current deal, but I am really not interested in a gym bag - I want cash! Suggestions for obtaining this stuff a little more cheaply? Buy XM they are far more subscribers 1,938,000 per XM Fan. Sirius is under 200,000. The fees are lower, and they are coming out with a new XM produced box that is going to retail for about $99 in August. The XM Roady is $99 all over the place. I got a new one on ebay with FM Modulator and home kit for $90 shipped. You just gotta lookaround. > Buy XM they are far more subscribers 1,938,000 per XM Fan. Sirius is under > 200,000.

They'll easily be over a mil by the end of the year. Not both services are identical as you seem to imply. Sirius has NFL, NBA, and NHL, as well as (IMO) superior talk and music programming. You get a lot more for your extra $3/mo. I find XM's music programming to be too off-the-wall; they seem to play a lot of random garbage for the sake of playing it. I'll be listening to Boneyard and they'll fill it up with songs that suck, B-sides from good artists that suck, with the remaining 10% being genuinely good stuff. I think XM is great if you're into music you've never heard before, though. I can see this would have a huge appeal of you're a musician or DJ who has heard "the hits" ad nauseum. I'd suggest everyone else go check out Sirius first. www.sirius.com , then check out www.xm.com . Both services let you sample their music. > Buy XM they are far more subscribers 1,938,000 per XM Fan. Sirius is under > 200,000.

Thanks for the reply, Jonathan, but I've already decided to go with Sirius because I prefer the programming to that of XM. Any other help? this is interesting. I had sirius for a year and loved it.. but now i'm feelin XM. I really like the Pioneer 8600 deck The cinemagic soundtracks stations sounds good and the VH1 story tellers, XM is only missing the hockey games. I am sick of FM i can't listen to it So if they play alot of songs you don't hear on FM that much, then I'm set I would recommend Crutchfield.com or try and cut a deal w/ a local stereo store..they should give you the sirius tuner for free but you have to pay $50 for the antenna. How much should labor cost for satellite radio $85? I got in on the deal when Circuit City was offering the free dock and the $50 gift card. I went to go buy the same stuff for a gift this weekend and found that the deal was over as well I then went to Hi-Fi Buys. They were prepared to give me the 2-for-1 dock deal but unfortunately, they were out of stock of the receiver. You might want to try your local Hi-Fi Buys/Tweeter store if you have one. http://www.tweeter.com/corp/index.jsp?page=storeLocator > Thanks for the reply, Jonathan, but I've already decided to go with > Sirius because I prefer the programming to that of XM. > > Any other help? |
