funny, does anyone think the 199.00 pc they are releasing will kill the higher end PC vendors?
how about their 200.00 laptop; is that gonna kill the business for the high end laptop foolks?
I guess the answer lies in the PQ and quality of build that these players present; time will tell the answer to that..

What about buying it tonight, at regulart price, and then go in tomorrow for a price adjustment? Anybody know Walmart's policy?
Worse, since the sale is "while supplies last", I bet they only have about 5 at each store. Like they did a couple years ago with the cheap laptops.
Strange that when you go the regular walmart site, look for hd-dvd you cannot find any players. The closest I found was a entry (below) for blu-ray and HD-dvd, which only has blu-ray players.
Electronics - Wal-mart

Walmart online and Walmart the store are kind of seperate. The store won't even price match online prices.
Maybe all those contemplating buying the $98 HD DVD player should hold off and wait for a BOHDDVDPGOF (buy one HDDVD player, get one free)
Gloat mode?Good counter! I couldn't resist as diogen is in gloat mode
I can't find a better example of gloating than this
gloating - definition of gloating by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
Diogen.
Not worth arguing about. I am guilty however for straying off subject. My apologies to all.
1080p looked much better to me - that's all I'm saying, and I don't have any major technical points to back it up.... although I don't think I ever mentioned cable or satellite in my post, so I'm not sure where that came from.
I'm glad you cleared that up, though, so everyone can stop manufacturing 1080p players and really start driving prices through the floor.
With the Firmare update 2.5, the HD-A20 can output 1080p/24.

I am sure its linked there somewhere, but I cannot find it. Even tried examining the page source.
Good to know... so is it a safe bet that all HD-DVD players do or will eventually support 1080p, even if they're being sold for $99?
That would definitely change things....
Ah in the middle of a shockwave/flash item. I always run with it disabled. Lots of sites, including satelliteguys, have large delays accessing them because of this huge bandwidth eater.
Sounds like a very short term event with limited supplies and not at all stores. Is the a2 a model being phased out in favor of the a3?
No. If it doesn't do 1080p today it won't do it ever.
This is one of the way Toshiba differentiate its players.

Diogen.
I'd like to ask a question and please don't think I'm trying to start a riot. I genuinely would like to know because this is a HUGE deal for HD-DVD.
How much is Toshiba losing with the sale of each of these players at $98?
I being totally serious and i'm not trying to knock the sale.
thanks
