First of all, @avman17, if you don't have anything of value to post, please refrain from posting at all. Vendors such as Tiger always indicate when an item is refurbished, and the folks who complain are always the ones who were careless when reading the descriptions, so they have only theirselves to blame.
Secondly, I received my Sony Dash (new, from Tiger) the other day and it's been a lot of fun, but I can see how the lack of portability can be a dealbreaker for some people. If, however, you're planning to use it on a nightstand or kitchen, it's pretty cool for $100. Already using mine for Netflix, Pandora and checking out the tons of free apps.
I'd rather buy from Newegg, but for reasons other than refurb.
I got a refurbished Dash from Woot a while back for $75. It was like new so no problem there. It was definitely worth what I paid. My only gripe is, even in night-mode, the clock is too bright on my night stand, so I have it set to go into power-saving mode at night (no display at all).
Prо-tip: If you want a microSDHC card reader that will fit in the USB port of the Dash while the side panel is closed, search for "elago Mobile Nano II."
I would much rather buy from newegg. Tiger mostly sells refurb products.

All in all, a fun purchase.

@ BLNathanson - Point taken but I do want to correct you on one thing. "theirselves" is not a word. You should have used the word "themselves".
