The rumers are true, Walmarts secret Friday sale Walmart
Looks like I'm taking an early drive Fri.

now if only they could do the same thing in Canada. didn't walmart make some big hoopla about going on par with U.S prices recently?

Wow, it would be very difficult to pass up on this offer.

I'll be at my local Wal-Mart's door at 8 AM tomorrow morning.

I notice the A2 doesn't have any analog outputs, so would I be correct in assuming that the A2 can be connected to our AVR635 in addition to my current Denon 2910 and use the Denon for SACD, DVD-A and direct channel music listening while using the A2 as a stand alone HD-DVD player?

I just saw a TV commercial advertising the WalMart sale, so it's legit. I guess I have to go back through this thread and figure out if that's the right model for me.

Am I the only one who read through it and find the model nomenclature a bit similar..i.e., confusing?

Nope, you're not the only one Mark ... 7 different HD-DVD player models from Toshiba in what, less than a couple of years or so?

My only apprehension about jumping on this deal is whether or not the A2 will be outdated enough in about a half a year that I'll be wanting to upgrade anyway, while on the other hand it's difficult to pass up such a good offer to see what exactly I've been missing, which, sounds like a lot from all of the very positive post regarding HD-DVD.

Decisions, decisions.....!


Oh and BTW, it's definitely legit Mark. I just called the two Wal-Marts in our area, the big store doesn't carry them and the little store said "We will tomorrow morning at 8 A.M." and he also stated the sell will last until all of the A2s are gone or through Sunday midnight.

Anybody interested might want to call around, not all stores carry these units.

If I had the rest of the infrastructure, this would probably get me to flip to an HD camp at all.

Ah, the power of the $. Or at least, the feeling of saving a $!

Wow...Long live HD DVD!!! And here's to hoping Warner goes HD DVD exclusive in January!

Warner has the biggest movie catalog in world and whoever gets their support may win.
