Today only, as a part of its Gold Box Deals of the Day, Woot via Amazon offers the certified refurbished Sphero R2-D2 App-Enabled Droid for $69.99 shipped. For comparison, it has a list price of $180 but usually sells for around $100 in new condition these days. I love playing with this iPhone-compatible recreation of R2-D2. Check out the video below to see it in action. A one-year warranty is included with purchase. Rated 4.5/5 stars.
