Logitech Pure-Fi Elite

A couple months ago, we brought to your attention that TigerDirect was blowing out Logitech’s two-year-old iPod Audio Station for just $19.97 after $50 rebate (originally $299). If you missed out on that deal, it’s still available, albeit for $29.99 after $50 rebate.

Logitech replaced the excellent-sounding Audio Station with the similarly styled Pure-Fi Elite. Also originally retailing for $299, the Pure-Fi Elite features a much better remote than the AudioStation, and probably a couple other improvements, too (but we’re not sure what).

The important thing here is that onSale is now blowing out the Pure-Fi Elite for just $44.87 after $70 mail-in rebate. Free shipping is included, but that won’t do much to ease the anxiety some people feel leaving $70 up to the occasionally flakey rebate gods.

With most retailers selling the Pure-Fi for $125-$150, we’d call this a pretty solid deal.

What else do you need to know?

  • It sounds great (with two 4″ woofers and two 1″ soft-dome tweeters)
  • It features an AM/FM radio and a clock
  • It sports Composite and S-Video outputs (for connecting your iPod to a TV to watch videos)
  • It also has an auxiliary input, so you can use it with other devices
  • It carries a respectable 2-year warranty

All in all, quite a solid package. The only question that remains is who actually is paying full retail price for Logitech’s stuff these days? Not you, clever reader, that’s for sure!
