MESA! :thud:
Im going to buy two at that price. Anyone know if you qualify for 10 free DVD's if you buy two?

This is great I will have an HD-DVD player in every room of the house after tomorrow! WOOHOO!
One per household. You would need to use a different address for the 2nd one.

I stopped by my best buy, they don't carry them anymore. They carry the A3 now instead.

Ok does this mean since I already did it with the XBOX deal at best-buy that I need two new seperate addresses?

yes. Just to be safe. Once they deny you, they won't accept it again for the same receipt/UPC.

I too will have all 15 movies offered when all is said and done.

I sold my other 360 player today for $135, so I am ready for an A2.

HD DVD Toshiba Deal at Best Buy $99 + 2 free movies in store

This deserves its own thread....

I just picked up the Toshiba HD DVD-A2 at Best Buy in Avondale for $99 bucks and guess what...they threw in two more movies in store for free. UN-F'ING- BELIEVABLE.

you can get any two, just like the 360 HDDVD deal.

Not all BB's have the A2 player anymore. Most likely, WalMart or Circuit City will price match this though. We already have a thread about this, don't think it deserves its own thread, but congrats.

Mods, can we combine the two threads and call it "$99 Toshiba A2 HD-DVD Player"?

Warner will be going blu-ray after the holidays. they have hinted too much at it. sorry.

Toshiba is shooting themselves in the foot selling HD DVD players for so cheap. no other manufacturer will be able to sell one for any profit. so it pretty much leaves Toshiba by themselves.

while the sale is good for people that follow HD DVD and want to purchase a 2nd player, such a low sales price will might confuse newcomers to the format that regular DVD's will be shown in HD on their HD tvs. so while this may move all the A2's that Toshiba has sitting in warehouses unsold, it doesnt guarantee them more software sales.

also blu-ray has been killing HD DVD in terms of software sales the entire year by a 66:33 sales ratio. HD DVD couldnt even sell more disks during the week that transformers was released on.

and yes, i have a ps3 :D

Once WB sees how many software titles will sell this month, with all of these sales, WB will stay behind.

I own a PS3 and an HDDVD player as well. I hope this war goes on for another couple of years, so we can get cheaper software titles.

i'd rather have one side win than both go on for a few more years. i would prefer blu-ray since i have already invested in it, but if HD DVD won i would invest in their player. thats why i wont buy a $98 player right now because it will just prolong the format war.

having 2 formats confuses j6p and will likely cause mass adaptation of HD media to take way longer than it would if only 1 format existed. more adapation = lower prices on software
