American Idol Contest Reveals TiVo Series 3 Release Period?

TiVo is running an American Idol contest throughout the course of the competition, allowing viewers to vote on who they believe will be eliminated each week. What we love about this contest is that the Grand Prize winner will walk away with a free TiVo Series 3 unit. Now, TiVo has stated that the Series 3 would be delivered within four months of the end of the contest, which ends in 11 weeks. Here is their official wording:

Grand Prize: 1 Special Limited Edition TiVo Series3 HD Digital Media Recorder w/Product Lifetime Service
Average Retail Value: $1,500.00

Selected entrants will receive the the weekly prize by mail within thirty (30) days of the Weekly Sweepstakes end date and the Grand Prize by mail within four (4) months of the end of the Sweepstakes Period (exact timing subject to change based upon availability of Grand Prize, which is scheduled to be released for public sale in the second half of 2006).

This makes it look like the Tivo Series 3 will be available for purchase in the next six months. Dave Zatz is taking bets in his giveaway, where you can win a TiVo network adapter for guessing the date and price of the unit.
