Re: Toshiba HD-DVD for $99!!!!!

My local Wal-Mart still had about 20 left around 5 this morning. I thought about getting one but I want one of the higher end ones from the 3rd gen players. I also have the 360 HD player that will hold me over for now.

UPDATE:

Walmart was selling them for $98 this weekend. Best Buy price matched, then sold out quickly. Cruchfield followed, then sold out quickly. Circuit City was late to the party, and dropped late today, but "only" to $129. Still some available as of right now.

Buy the Toshiba HD DVD Player and other HD DVD players at circuitcity.com

ALL of these players qualify for the 5 free HD-DVD by mail in rebate, found here:

http://download.sears.com/misc/5Free_end022808.pdf

NOW, Best Buy has dropped their price on the HD-A3, the "successor" to the HD-A2, to $199. NOT ONLY does this player qualify for the same 5 free mail in rebate, but it includes "300" and "The Bourne Identity" in the box with the player. Not only that, buy Best Buy is offering 2 free HD-DVDs of your choice with the purchase. Say... Transformers and Batman Begins? Or whatever else you like. So yeah. $199 gets you the newest player and 9, count 'em, 9 HD-DVDs.

The deals are incredible!!!
