Great deals - just wanted to add my $0.02 for any of those who are still thinking about getting some. I first got the Sportscraft one for home, and then got two Halex ones for home & work so I've played on both boards. Here are the pros & cons of each:
Sportscraft:
Allows handicapping for each game to make it more competitive btw differently skilled players
Cricket scoreboard is more difficult to interpret/read IMO
Does not let you input misses/bounce outs - if it hits & falls out, it still counts.
Cheaper darts (fins are part of the shaft)
AA batteries only
Halex:
No handicapping available (that I know of)
Better cricket scoreboard
Allows you to input "misses" & "bounce outs"
Cyberplayer feature (so you can play solo against the computer (5 skill levels) in any game)
A few more games than the Sportscraft model
Better darts (fins come separate from the shaft)
AA batteries or optional A/C adapter
The next higher model of the Halex was selling for $17 - more games, A/C adapter & backlit display. According to the instructional booklet, the A/C adapter costs at least $12 to order from Halex so if you figure the cost of that in, it may be worth the $17. Personally, I'm hoping that the higher end dartboards come down in price in the next week.
Personally, I think the Halex board is a better board - better features, better darts (it's a more competitive board -i.e. no handicapping & allows you to count "bounce outs"). But the Sportscraft is good to play against family members who don't care if it sticks or whatever & has handicapping. I'm not a competitive dart player by any means, but these are just my observations having played on both boards.
