will need to discuss this with SWMBO

just swap it out...she'll never know.  LOL

You don't know my wife. She even knows how to program the remote.

She'll know my friend, she will know.

On top of the five, does the A2 come with King Kong or 300 + Bourne I in the box?

That's insane pricing.

not that i know of

Wonder if my A35 will go down to $300 during the holidays.  LOL.  I'm sure it will.   [sm_cussing]

Hmmmmmm... upstairs.

best buy  has the a2 for $99 as well !


2 free in store movies + 5 free via mail in rebate  $100 hd-a2  at bestbuy  if your local store still has any  [sm_shock] [sm_shock] [sm_shock]

Wow  [sm_shock]

I'm saving for a Harley.  :D

I was a page into spacey's thread before I figured out HD was Harley Davidson. 

High-Def on the brain something fierce.   [sm_anon]

I arrived at the store around 7:45. There was a line of 10-12 people already there in the electronics department. Sales clerk handed out a ticket for the item that you wanted to purchase. They started selling everything at 8:00. I was out of the store by 8:15. I purchased one HD-DVD player and 3 HD-DVD movies (Unforgiven, Blood Diamond, and Swordfish) for $150.00.

I was pretty impressed w/ the sales clerk and managers by the way they kept everything running smoothly.


The also had on sale:
- 50" plasma for $999
- acer laptop $359 (I think)
- Sony PS3 $399 (came w/ spidey 3 blu-ray dvd)

Excellent Teed.   [sm_thumbsup]

I ran over to BB yesterday but they were out of A2s.  Thought about Wal-mart this AM but decided to hang tight.  I expect they'll go back up to at least $150 for the near term.  I also think maybe the A3 will replace it at that price point next year.  Since it's for upstairs I'll wait it out a bit.

$100 player plus five free movies.  Amazing really.  The BD fanboys on AVS are falling all over themselves saying it means nothing more than Toshiba is desperate.  Of course, the HD DVD fanboys have their own, sometimes ridiculous slant. 

Cast v. forged has nothing on blu v. red. [sm_pain]

Those guys are crazy over there.  I don't even venture into the blu v red wars.  Get a grip it's a movie.  I have both angles covered w/ my new A2 and the PS3 from last year.

When (if) Blu-ray has a sub-$200 standalone player I'll jump in.  There are those few Blu-ray titles that are must have.  Ratatouille might be the best feature length animation ever produced.  PotC, Cars, a few others.  Enough to make it worthwhile at a reasonable price but not at $499.

welcome to the club
 :)

time for you to grab some other great titles
 [sm_devil]

Already working on that.

Just bought Transformers, 4 Brothers, Unforgiven, and Blood Diamonds.

5 freebies selected: Aeon Flux, Pitch Black, Swordfish, The Frighteners, and Troy.

Any recommendations?

i recommend you pick something other than troy and buy*  troy Director Cut instead (better film, better picture, better audio)

aeon flux is a bad movie that is probably the 2nd or 3rd best video quality film on hd-dvd.   definitely a showoff the system disc.

pitch black rules.  get chronicles of rid*8==>* too (even if it's not as good)

except for  a clockwork orange, all the new kubrick films look amazing.  especially the shining.


anyways some must buys IMHO:

lucky # slevin
the 1st matrix (unforunately you gotta buy all 3  LOL)
batman begins
300
bourne identity, supremacy (and soon ultimatum)
serenity
v for vendetta (probably the best audio disc out there)
big lebowski




movies that i absolutely loved but most people don't like
the fountain
children of men
harsh times


IMPORTS.
equilibrium
brotherhood of the wolf
underworld 1,2 (better PQ than their bd counterparts)
silent hill (better PQ than its bd counterpart)
the prestige

awesome.

had it in my hand but decided against it.  It was on sale for 14.95 at Wally World today. 

worstbuy or cc should price match it.

^ Wife just picked lucky # slevin from WM.  They still had some left. 

 8).  fun flick. let me (us) know how you like it.

NSFU   :sad3:
