I went to Circuit City to buy a Slingbox Solo and a 1 port SlingLink Turbo. I was shocked oto see that the SlingLink was tagged at $40.96 on the shelf, this normally retails for $99.99. I grabbed 2, I figured for that price I might use the other one in the future. I took them to the register and the cashier scanned them, they came up at $79.99. I told the cashier the tag read $40.96, she replied to bring the tag up to her. So I went back to the shelf and grabbed the tag, to my astonishment $40.96 was for the 4 port SlingLink Turbo. I grabbed the one remaining 4 port and headed up to the cashier. Sure enough it rang up correctly, I was on my way home with the $149 device for $40.96.

I have since set up my Slingbox Solo and the SlingLink Turbo and I can't recommend both pieces of hardware enough.

I checked Circuit City's web site and this model is not on there. So this is YMMV if you are lucky enough to find one still sitting on the shelf at Circuit City. I had to dig back on the shelf behind the 1 port models to find it.

Thanks, i don't need it but i found this on CC

Link to CC

99 retail price but 79.99 on CC.com, of course is YMMV but you can check in-store availability

Rang up 40.96 for me.

Thanks

good product. easy to install and works well

winsor said:i got one on best buy clearance a while back for about the same price i think or maybe it was a little less.. can't remember exactly.. works well to connect up my ps3 and 360 (instead of buying that ridiculously overpriced 360 wireless adapter and getting a connection that isnt as good)...

I got one in Bestbuy too. i think it was 25$ but worth it works pretty good.

As long as the Slinglink is hooked to the home wiring you can connect to your home network?

genisys said:with this price you can easily buy a Linksys router and install dd-wrt on it.

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say. You say that instead of buying a powerline kit, you should buy a router?

Why?

You wouldn't have the sku # would you?

Not as good as the BB clearance price of $29.xx

christoffs said:My understanding is that powerline networking will only work per electrical panel box. For instance, when I did an upgrade to my home, a second electrical panel box was added to supply electricity to the new rooms. This prevents any of the new rooms to be networked to the old part of the house.

A 99-cent extension cord between the new rooms and the old part of the house to make powerline networking work.
