I have seen this same deal multiple times in the last month [http://slickdeals.net/sdsearch.php?mode=&showposts=0&search=Toshiba+HD-A3+](http://slickdeals.net/sdsearch.php?mode=&showposts=0&search=Toshiba+HD-A3+) They are blowing these out for the 1080P models. Notice the other two models available with the same deal are another $80 or $160 (A30 and A35) ---

Nice. hadn’t realised the 1080P was rolling out. I’ll have to grab one when they get discounted. i just like that HDDVD sets are selling so cheap… HD \> BluRay. Well, that and I hate Sony too. :mamoru: ---

:shrug: i kinda like my blue ray. i just wish there werent exclusive rights to certain movies. this is a good deal though, i wouldnt mind picking it up if i didnt think that hddvd/blueray prices are so out of whack. not worth it yet imo. i already have a bunch of regular dvd’s that i dont watch often enough collecting dust, why do i need to spend 30.00 to add to the collection RIGHT NOW. i am patient, i can wait ---

I asked for a few blurays for Christmas. I just can’t justify spending the money on them…yet. ---

It’s almost worth that price just for the amount of free movies. I already have PS3 but I don’t know how good it is to keep running movies on it. My 5 disc changer took a shit so the PS3 is my primary player now.
