Toshiba 3rd Gen HD DVD Players

[kieron]

wala bang group buy on the A2 or A3? 

Meron ba? pa sama ako Toshiba HD-A30.

[Mouldingo]

Nagbagsakan ng presyo yung A30 just a few weeks after its release   Sa Amazon, only US$ 348.88 with free shipping   Yung A20 is only US$ 307.14 na lang. Both offer 5 free HD DVD w/ mail in rebate. Dapat hintayin ko kung may free 3 HD DVD na kasama o go for it na? Mura na kasi ang dollar ngayon

The venturer is up for order na ata at target. 250 bucks ata price niya. I thought would be 199. I have to still confirm, parang read it somewhere its 250 bucks.
To me those toshibas would be better.

Ya think peso will be stronger pa versus dollar going up to december (with all ofw money coming in for Christmas season) unless there is some bad news in the Phils (Like Neri doing a Chavit on Arroyo haha..)

i'm also trying to save for a hd player, kaya lang pre hindi ko tuloy alam kung unahin ko muna maging patriotic (magdasal na mag chavit nga si neri pero tataas ang dollar) or maging videoholic (magdasal na huwag na lang para makabili ako ng tosh!!!)

haha..January nalang sana si Neri mag Chavit haha..Sana nga he spill all the beans..To me what goes around should come around haha..
So at the moment we can enjoy this Christmas season with all  the great deals, all the wonderful discs coming out and wonderful dollar/peso rate at 42 to 43 haha   

[tonedeaf]

hd-a2 is now US$229.98, with free dvds.

a seller in the AVS forum is selling the A3 for US$249, also with freebies (for AVS members).

Hmmmm...

BUTI NA LANG MAY UUWING KAMAG-ANAK (FROM FLORIDA) SA KATAPUSAN!!! (Sorry ha, talagang napasigaw ako, just got their confirmation, flight itenerary)

Me thinks -

AMAZON's current price is $338.
- cheaper by $61 compared against BEST BUY
- free shipping
- 2 titles free
- 5 titles free, mail-in. Not sure if my sis-in-law can still get them before leaving Fla.
- have to make the purchase ASAP, but it seems its price fluctuates everyday (timing )

BEST BUY is at $399.
- more expensive than AMAZON (by $61).
- sis-in-law takes care of the purchase, then i'll just pay later
- 2 titles free
- 5 titles free, mail-in. Not sure if my sis-in-law can still get them before leaving Fla.
- plus 2 more titles free

AMAZON has the edge...

If you're in my place, what option will  you take?

Cheers!!!
Compaq

[pchin]

For me, I'll go for the Amazon option. You can use the saved $61 to buy other accessories such as HDMI cable or you can use it to buy 3 more HD DVDs!!

The mail rebate will take forever....hope they have improved by now.

I would also go for amazon. 61 dollars is equivalent to 3 pcs of 19.95 hddvd discs. 2 extra disc by best buy dont justify the 61 bucks diff. IMO..But if you have other relatives coming home by Christmas, I would wait till their Christmas promo, I have a feeling there will be better deals after thanksgiving. I may be wrong but couple months away nalang, Trend of prices will go down naman not going up. So to me baka will have better deals for Christmas. hehe...Problem here there might be customs people at the airport that will have Christmas fever and most may be hungry to tax hehe..

Good Morning guys!

Am waiting for confirmation from my sis-in-law if she can still accommodate my request. I'll probably make the purchase next week. She'll be here by Oct 31, the night before a very long weekend, sweet!!!

I agree that price/s might still drop but no more relative/s coming in by December, so for me, now is the time. Otherwise, I would have to go through JAC route and December might not be a good time to shop online  . Baka January na dumating 

Cheers!!!

[baby]

Go for amazon.  But the mail in promo will arrive later or forever.  Lucky you.

[rx330]

hmm, me also tempted, but i was wondering, the mail in dvds, will the mail it to the post centre as well?

And in This Corner, a Third-Generation HD DVD Player



In the battle to determine which high-definition DVD format will become the next standard, Toshiba is hoping the third time’s a charm.

The company’s $399 third-generation HD DVD player, the HD-A30, is the latest blow in the consumer electronics fisticuffs between supporters of HD DVD and the Sony-backed Blu-ray format. The Toshiba player, which has full 1080p picture resolution, can connect to the Internet via an Ethernet port to download goodies like movie-related offers. It now supports 24p, which allows you to watch movies at an aesthetically pleasing 24 frames per second.

Question lang po. Is the HD player region free or region 1 only. In other words, can it play all region SD DVDs and HD DVD,s(). Sorry, newbee lang sa HD dvd.

[rx330]

[Mouldingo]

WOWOWOW...Down to US$ 323.00 na lang yung A30 sa Amazon. Baka umabot ng US$ 315.00 na lang next week.

Its now $300 

[Mouldingo]

US$ 299.98  na lang! (25% off discount) Sheeeeesh presyong A3 territory na. And to think that they discounted the A20 to US$ 298. Di pa Thanksgiving holiday. Is it time to buy? The US $ is only PhP 44.35 na lang

[hubes]

di kaya may quality problem ang A30? from 399 naging 300 in one week.

[NeilNo]

di kaya may quality problem ang A30? from 399 naging 300 in one week.

I don't think so. The price fluctuation may be due to "overstocking" of the product. They will have to discount it in order for the product to "move". 

[pchin]

That's good news for those who are considering this model
