I saw this but didn't post it, thinking that someone already had... Still would like one though :)

I don't need this but I think I want it.

Edit: $54 on amazon.

A steal at this price. Now maybe I'll learn how to solve these things!

Note, from Amazon comments:
Pros:
...
3. The auto-solve feature uses a common set of steps to solve the green face first, then the sides and finally the blue face. Note this may not be the fewest moves to solve the cube, but it is a reliable, reproducible and easy way to learn how to solve any 3x3 cube. The solver can be stopped at any point if you wish to continue yourself.
...

Cons:
1. The hint mode seems to abandon the common steps mentioned in #3 above and use the shortest number of steps to solve the cube. This means the cube appears to be a jumble with no apparent progress until voila - it is solved at the last moment.

Having moved on to the 5x5 cube, I did a fair bit of searching for good deals on cubes and this price is ASTONISHING...I wish I could give you more than one woot for this deal.

I really had no need for one, but couldn't pass up the awesome price for a cool toy. Nice post!

Looks like you can only order one. I wanted to buy two... one for my brother and one for my boyfriend. Looks like they'll be fighting over one...

Ignorant question: Is a "standard" or "original flavor" rubik's cube 3 X 3, or is it bigger? I.e. if I can master this one, will I feel accomplished or like I just beat the kiddie version?

I wanted to snag this when it was more expensive from Best Buy, but I was not willing to drive for 4 hours one way to the nearest Best Buy that had one...

I am soo happy that I am able to snag this now.

I was unable to get this last time from BestBuy because the closest one that had them was a 4 hour drive one way.

I am glad I could snag one now.

It is not available at that price anymore. It's $70.98 - plus the link above takes you to a TV.

I picked up one of these from ebay last week. Got it for 26 shipped, I recommend looking there before pulling the trigger on amazon for 76. Also this thing is great and worth every penny. Its not only a cool toy but it does a pretty cool animation when charging. It definitely makes everyone else at my office envious.

You might also want to check your local Best Buy, as they've had these on clearance for $19.99. We picked up an open box model a few weeks ago for $16.99.

Although it looks very cool when it's charging, it hasn't really grown on me yet. I actually miss being able to physically rotate the rows and this one hasn't managed to keep my attention for more than 5-10 minutes. Also, the touch sensitivity on ours is inconsistent - sometimes you really have to press and drag to rotate the row and other times, it accidentally moves a row you didn't want to move. Still, if you're a Rubik's fan, they're definitely worth checking out at this price. Even the packaging is very cool!

Can't click on it - it only links to a TV. Help.

I just read The Ghost From The Grand Banks by Arthur C. Clarke and he described this exact puzzle in 1990! Spooky!

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
