I know you usually expect to see official press releases here, but this one was too good to let go unmentioned. According to an article recently posted on Daily Tech, Wal-Mart is advertising that it will sell the Toshiba HD-A2 this Friday for $98.87.
I hope this doesn't hurt my chances of getting one.
Oh yea, and if you want 12 Monkeys, The Big Lebowski or Blood Diamond on HD DVD, they're advertising those for $14.96.
Enjoy,
- Shane

Reader Commentary Nov 1, 10:08am Best Buy also is selling them for $99.99, which includes 7 free HD discs! I think I may now officially be "off-the-fence." http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8021767&st=toshiba+hd&lp=5&type=product&cp=1&id=1158323325814 Nov 1, 10:51am It would seem on the surface that Toshiba 2nd gen sales were not as expected and there is plenty of product that needs to get moved out of inventory for the 3rd gen players hitting the stores now. At this price you gotta be talking fire sale! If you ar Nov 1, 11:10am It would seem on the surface that Toshiba 2nd gen sales were not as expected and there is plenty of product that needs to get moved out of inventory for the 3rd gen players hitting the stores now. At this price you gotta be tal Nov 1, 11:50am Not sure what to make of that... Has either camp sold 2 mil of anything? 2 mil units of a 2nd gen product that is being replaced NOW? How many did Best Buy make a deal on? Is Toshiba still producing 2nd gen players? That does not make sense as they are t Nov 1, 11:56am I'll swing by my local Wal-mart tomorrow morning and report quantity on hand. - Shane Nov 2, 6:21am This Best Buy link doesn't work. Anyone got the correct link? Nov 2, 8:14am This Best Buy link doesn't work. Anyone got the correct link? It was removed as they seem to be sold out nationwide. Below is a linkfor the BBforB site. Although it states the A2 is no longer available Nov 2, 8:17am I swung by two Wal-Marts. I missed the last one by 5 minutes. Had i gone to the second Wal-Mart I would've scored one for the bedroom. I did score one online. (That deal is now gone, too.) Best Buy has a sale on the A3. I'm not sure what the rules Nov 2, 8:32am Do any of these do 1080i over component? What about the PS3 Blu-Ray player? Nov 2, 8:41am Do any of these do 1080i over component? What about the PS3 Blu-Ray player? Yes, they will play HD-DVD movies at 1080i over componenent. However, they will not upconvert standard definition DVD's to 1080i More on HD DVD & Blu-ray
