This is a player I am considering picking up since it has 5.1 analog inputs!!!

And that is not counting the HDs available overseas that are not available here, like Equilibrium and a number of other good ones. Apparently they that marketplace has different rules for pressing. Good thing the HD will play anywhere, no region coding.

Yes mtry. This fact is/was not pronounced enough (perhaps yet another snafu by the HD camp). The lack of region coding on HD players make them pseudo BD players...in that those movies that are exclusively BD here in the US can be had on HD overseas, and play flawlessly in the HD player without any hacks. Thanks.

..., and play flawlessly in the HD player without any hacks. Thanks.

That Equilibrium is really nice, once you go through all the menu options in Japanese to figure out how to turn off the subtitles

It's on sale for $170 now. Is that a good price? Prices are falling already.

Never mind. The new price was already posted here. Think it will falling to maybe $120?

Yeah, you're right. Going into the language menu is so laborious! I wish they would design these damn machines so I could just think the setup menu into my personal preferences.

You're kidding right? I've been on the fence with the XA2 for the past week. The lowest I've seen it is $425.00. The A35 was initially a $699 player, then $599, etc. and you're questioning the purchase at $169 with four free movies, and five more mail in? I've done quite a bit of research on these two players, and I believe the A35 is a very close second to the XA2. Most say the pq is indistinquishable between the two. If you are [still doubting], then this doesn't sound like it's the player for you. It is, after all, a dead, or soon to be dead format. Never mind that is one of the best upscalers available for SD. BTW, there's only a few days left for the five free mail in offer

Don't have it mtry, but you've piqued my interest. What is a good source for Japanese and or European HD DVD's? Thanks, John

 

[Davidt1]

I was right. The price went down even further at $135 at BB, not only I missed it. Someone at Fatwallet posted the deal and it was sold out quickly.

HD DVD players for cheap!!

I'm new here and live in Canada, up here we have Future Shop, and i already have a Toshiba HD A2 and i own a PS3. Either way the format war was going to go i was ready. Anyways i was looking in the store and came across a Toshiba HD A3 it was an open box sale for $74.89 it came with 300 and The Bourne Identity. The player runs gr8!!!! hell of a deal!!!

OK, I got the last A35 for $150 at a local store. They have the A30 and A20 for $99 and the A3 for $80. Each comes with 2 free movies. Since I don't have a 1080p display, I wonder if I should get the A3 instead. Subtracting the cost of the movies, the A3 cost something like $50. Also, does anyone know if I am qualified for 5 free movies? Thanks. By the way, Vanns has it for $189 shipped and no tax.
