w/gift it costs ~3.6k and w/o gift, ~3.1k in 20north, all included.
isn't it a good buy for 3.1k ?
As i told in some previous thread, gift option will be good if the total price comes in between ~ 7K to 10K

I ordered Logitech Harmony 688 from ebay.com for around $29. It shipped from Singapore on Nov 3 and I received it yesterday. Since it was free shipping, it came by the cheapest carrier I guess. So, I picked it up from the local p.o. paying the customs duty of around 250 Rs. Overall, ~1650-1700, it was not a bad deal. I am still checking it out. So, don't have any specific feedback yet. My guess is it is very similar to 520/525 remotes.
Here is another one from the same seller:Thats great.
Can you give the ebay seller name so that I can check out with him?
I guess it is a sealed one?
yes, but these are all included price. they charge is some shipping surcharge for gifts. in fact it is more than the custom which pay for w/o gift option.
so why should i opt for w/ gift option if it comes out to be costly.

I bought the Harmony 525 from The IT Depot.....their website is Theitdepot - India's First IT Online Shopping Store .....for Rs. 3300
Guys,
Hows Harmony 688? A friend of mine is willing to part it for 2k (3 months used). I have no clue about it. Will it control my Nak, NAD etc and is it better than 525?
I have been using the 688 for a week now. It can control my Samsung 5 series LCD and Toshiba HD-DVD player fine. However, I am not able to make it control the Airtel STB with this. Shuvc seems to be able to control Airtel box with his 5xx remote.
Can't compare it with 525 as I have not seen the 525. The buttons are fine but a little 'rubbery'. The button size is ok. If you give the model number of your Nak and NAD I can check if it is avbl in the harmony software.
I like the way it can be programmed. But that should be the same for 525 too.
The first set of batteries I used ran out in 3-4 days. I did a lot of programming (for Airtel STB including the learning mode) during these 3-4 days and I used the cheap everedy batteries. I am trying the duracels now. I have to see how long these last.
For ~1700, I am happy with it.
