I just visited some family in Woodward,OK and the WalMart there had 40 sitting on an endcap, I with four of them for various family members.
I checked 3 Wal-Marts in my area (2 of them are super wal-marts) and they were out at all of them 
This is the Asheville NC area.

still cant get my ethernet to work, went into my router and checked status on things and it is showing the dvd player under attached devices but it doesnt have a name under it. Also when i go to try and update my dvd player it knows there is a update to be had but for some reason when i go and try to update it says "server cannot be found out"
i dont now hwat else to do
right after i posted the last message. I gave it a try by directly plugging the dvd player into my att router and bypassing my netgear. Worked first time around. wonder whats wrong with the setting on my netgear router. of well, at least i got the dvd player upgraded
Maybe the port is being blocked? I had the same problem where I was getting "server not found" or some message like that. I just downloaded the image and burnt it to a CD.
using a Lynksys wireless router, and homeplugs. all the lights on the router and homeplug devices are are lit up as should be according to manual. two greens on the homeplug connected to the router. two greens and the blue on the one the A2 is connected to. the eatherner green goes out when i unplug the A2 from the homeplug so i know it sees the connection. A2 doesn't show up on my devices. no fields are populated with DHCP and DNS set to on. when i had the A2 connected dirrectly to the dsl moden, it worked fine. help please
EDIT: OK. I am a DUMB A$$. Screwed around with this for an hour. Ok stupid, unplug the homepluge to the router from the, what I thought was a cheapo power strip, and plug the damn thing straight to the power outlet. Well, what do you know. Now I have have all three lights on both, like I should have from the beginning. Router sees the device (says it is another computer, is that right?) all the fields are now populated in the eathernet settins on the player, ran update and said no update needed, not cannot find the server. Did have to reboot the player after changing the router homeplug position. If I would have had Cyclones posts in front of me, it would have saved me alot of trouble. Hope this helps out someone else. Cyclone.......you da man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Couldn't make it to Walmart (Lawrence, KS) on Friday... I went in on Saturday evening, no A2's to be found. On a whim, I called them today around 4pm (Sunday). They guy in electronics said they had 9 left! Bought it, along with Goodfellas and King Kong. I'm very impressed with the PQ on Goodfellas... still waiting to install the firmware in order to watch King Kong (gonna have to wait until tomorrow to burn it to a CD-R, I'm all out of blank discs/couldn't get the player to connect via ethernet).
Overall, I'm very excited to get this deal. Now, on to expanding my new HD-DVD library.

I went to my Wal Mart and got mine as well and loved the $ 98.00 price. Later went to CC to see there slection on HD movies and got the Bourne Identity then why we were there CC had a HD DVD display with a little mail offer to receive 5 free HD DVD titles by mail and it was for all Toshiba models, Tob. HD DVD computer and Xbox 360 HD DVD player.
I saw one left behind the counter... did not ask if the price was still $98.87... they were busy

Same here there were 3 behind the counter along with 2 of the bargin laptops. Got 1, looks like employees were saving some to buy after shift was over, manager was not to happy seeing them hidden behind counter and put them on the display again. I wish i could see the faces of thoses employees when they come to get there stuff
Mine is still on the livingroom floor... (I have a D1 in the Ht room hooked up to dolby analog 5.1) need to move some stuff around to put the A2 in the livingroom... (HR20 coming also)
I liked one take on it... from Sam Patterson I think... pulling the drive out of the A2 and hooking to a Htpc...any luck?
Well we missed out, so if any member bought more than one and would like o sell it, please send me a PM. I will play the aprox $107 plus shipping. Profiteers need not PM. Thanks!
What are the differences between the A2 vs the A3? I see a few stores with Black Friday ads for the A3 @ $169

Well I guess its a cheap price which is great, but it offers only 720p/1080i It does not have 1080p feature
, but then again I suppose for the price its cool.
