If this isn't news, sorry...

I got the e-mail from Amazon about this a couple of weeks ago, when I followed the links, they said the offer was over. Seems to be back on.

Toshiba HD-A3 + 5 free on the spot, 5 free by mail in offer, free super saver shipping.

I just ordered the Toshiba HD-A3 with the packed in 300 and Bourne Identity. You get to choose 3 others (from a semi-decent selection...The Big Lebowski...FTW!) to be shipped at the same time. The 5 free HD-DVD's for the mail in gig still applies.

Halfway down the page there is a link to follow for the $199.00 HD-A3 with movies. I went through the order, the Toshiba still showed at $232.99, but I called customer service and she changed it right on the spot. She said it was the 3rd call about the same thing.

Link through CAG to give Cheapy the $ for the order...that bastard.....

[quote name='Animal7390']im going to sound lame and noobish but which walmart deal are people referring to?[/quote]

Black Friday, the Toshiba A2 ws $98
 
initial reviews were sketchy for the a30.. any word if fw updates improved it?

1080p output was supposedly subpar and dvd upconverting was bad,,

Oooooo LP is wrong ;) It was actually the First Friday in November 11/2. They ran a special Secret Friday deal. I went at 8am and got one.

Yea, 1080i is for douchebags after all. ;)
 
Got my refund for the $50 difference from when I ordered it. The best part wasn't the speed of the refund, or how easy it was to get, but rather, who refunded me the money:

"Best regards,
Mohammed Ali
Amazon.com Customer Service"

That just made my day (I know the spelling isn't exactly the same... but still...)
 
came back from vaca to see i got another refund of $17 on top of earlier $10 for the a30. Not sure where that came from , unless it dipped further for a bit.


Original price i paid was $260 - $27 refund is $233. Taking the $90 from the promo cancel thingie, comes to $143. Cant complain at all.
 
[quote name='strongpimphand']now how in the hell can the comsumers be the "winners" when this silly ass feud splits fan bases????

prices ALWAYS drop, this isn't anything new! what is new though is having to choose between what movies you can watch

"man...this is only on bluray....and i got hd dvd....damn" and vise versa. that doesn't help the consumer!

having two consoles doesn't help the consumer!

being limited in choices doesn't help the consumer!

and think about what you just typed....that in order to find low prices, i can't go to a regular store....but have to go online and HOPE that a website is having a special. i'm on amazon right now and the titles i want - 25+. so much for 19.99....

yep, hooray for consumers for being stuck in a pointless war....consumers won't win until titles are universal OR a winner is chosen. according to your logic, the betamax vs vcr battle was the best shit ever![/quote]


Well this is how it works.There is no "Winner" , this isn't a race, there aren't enough PS3 that will ever being sold to make Blu the winner(same for HD-Dvd) it ALL about sales. Hd-Dvd is at OVER 750,000 MOVIE PLAYERS, not multi featured Game Players.Say early in 2008 they are at a million or more HD-DVD players(bought for the SOLE purpose of buying movies), do you think ANY studio in their right mind is going to say F that, HD-DVD are only a "Mere" million? Not a chance,Sony of course will hold out the longest(for obvious reasons but by the end of 2009 ALL studios(IMHO) will be selling both. it is one thing if one format sells many millions and the other only sells 50,000 to "Forget" that format NOT with a "Million+ and growing.This is good as competition will drive down costs.
 
Hmm must've missed it.


So I'm wondering, is anyone expecting any really big HDDVD deals in the next few days or should I spring for the A3?

The shopping rush is over and I don't see retailers giving deals for these things any more. Take into account free shipping and no taxes through Amazon and the deal gets better than what you could possibly get in-store.
 
I realized I'd have to either buy the $250 one or settle for a 1080i one, which I didn't know even existed. What is the point of a 1080i HD DVD player, so you can get minimally better picture quality than with an upconverting DVD player? >_
 
those that bought the a30 - it dropped to like $200.

Go ask for your refund. I just got back $35(on top of $25 for other drops past couple weeks).
Its been more than 30 days too, so dont let that stop you.
 
I took advantage of this deal when it was at $179 and I just had them price match my HD-A3 now that its down to $131.98.
 
damn the a30 dropped another $22 since friday. Wrote yet another email - hopefully they will honor it since its so close to my refund on saturday.

They should. I requested 3 price adj in roughly 2 days on my A3. Just got my 5th adjustment this morning to match the $135 even though I'm at about 36 days from ordering. Maybe I still have a couple days since the A3 was on backorder for a week or so.
