Are you releasing a recorded version of this? I won't have the chance to watch the show live and I wouldn't like to miss itl.

Yup. We recorded the show and it will be posted sometime tomorrow!

[boldfire]

What time can we expect it to be on?

[amon91]

Hmm... it hasn't come out yet. Can we expect it today?

[boldfire]

You can watch the episode over at http://dealsftw.com or http://revision3.com/dealsftw

Oh, thank you.

The show was great and it's nice to see Revision3 focusing on its loyal viewer base (tech enthusiasts - correct me if I'm wrong). Will this show be weekly? (I'm asking because it seems to me kinda difficult to give computers away every week.

Keep up. I'm still kind of upset about the layoffs as I think you guys let the wrong people go but at least I see you rebuilding.

They call it a beta show, but it's really a pilot. It's to see what people think so that if or when they develop it into a proper series it'll be better suited to us as the audience.

Nobody but the Revision3 guys and gals can say if it's a weekly show, but as far as we know it's not on next week or any weeks soon. I imagine they'll be taking all of our feedback in and developing the show to make it even better.

I like it so far. Love the concept.
Nice polish, great products...
Thumbs up

[scoobydiesel]

yeah not a bad show at all, looking forward to seeing it grow

I feel like this potential show is getting no love from the higher-ups at Rev3.

No board, no feeds, not even a blip on the schedule page.

I think this deserves a bit more than a mere discussion thread here.

[alaskalonewolf]

I agree. Totally.

[boldfire]

It's the same with Rev3 Beta shows, no love for things which could make them money.

Excellent show! Jim is excellent and should be hosting a show like this as he`s a salesman who could sell just about anything.When does it air live so i can catch it next time?Is this a show thats going to be a weekly broadcast?,Keep up the great work guys.Also,please hire Robert Heron for a new Home Theater show which would bring all the video geeks over to Revision3.He`d make a great addition to the stable of hosts.Have a great Hoilday and a fruitful New Year !:)

Please delete this, wrong thread.

I quite like Deals FTW and sure hope it takes off! it kinda reminds of InDigital where products are reviewed.

Any news on this show or has it been scrapped?

[boldfire]

Check out this weeks Hak5, they interviewed Jim Louderback. When asked about DealsFTW he seemed to shy away from answering, which either means he wants to keep it hush hush until it's ready or it's been shelved. I have a feeling it's the latter :( but I hope I am wrong.

[tokenuser]

If its shelved, it would be a shame. JLo has a great screen presence for product reviews - can't put a finger on it, but he exudes credibility.

[evogage]

Such a shame if it has been scrapped because it had protential to be a great show.
