hehe whew! you think i got a good deal for the 10k?

It is a good deal for now...pikit mata mo na lang. Just enjoy it. Tama si Sir Barrister, there will always be better deals. But if you don't take the plunge, you'd never end up getting one from all that worrying the next best deal...hehehe

Toshiba has released Firmware Ver. 2.7 for their XA2, A20 & A2 hd dvd players.

pchin · « **Reply #123 on:** Nov 13, 2007 at 12:51 PM »

Another one na? That's fast. I haven't update to 2.5 yet...guess it's time to do it.

pchin · « **Reply #124 on:** Nov 14, 2007 at 07:43 AM »

Oh my gosh! What does this update do to HD-A2??

This firmware update adds support for 1080p/24Hz output....!!!!

Those who own Full HD 1080p display....rejoice!!

Oh man...those who bought this recently at the $99 or $169 it's a real deal breaker!

*Correction. a consumer had called Toshiba customer service & the staff verified indeed the HD-A2 will able to output 1080p/24Hz. However, some A2 owners managed to complete the firmware 2.7 upgrade, hence can confirm that there's no 1080p/24Hz for A2 as it's not shown in the setup page.

Tnx to aeris30/Reddy's alert too

No problem paul

Even without 1080p/24hz output, the A2 is still a better buy (among available HD DVD players at it's level) even at whatever price you got it for. Great video & sound

pchin · « **Reply #127 on:** Nov 14, 2007 at 12:42 PM »

Yup, I own the HD-A2 & have been using since Jan 2007 until now & haven't suffered a single playback issue. Excellent HD player considering the affordable price.

pchin · « **Reply #128 on:** Nov 16, 2007 at 05:51 PM »

In my first attempt, half-way it got an error message. I almost got panicked.... $:-\$

In the second attempt, I was able to upgrade my A2 to the latest 2.7 firmware.

Here's a chance to buy a Toshiba HD-A35 for $149 at Amazon come November 26. You can vote for this item from now to Nov 25 (I think) and if this item wins the vote, you may be offered a deal on the item. You can also vote for Samsung BD-P1400 1080p Blu-ray player which is also being offered for $149. 500 items (either of the HD-DVD or Blu-ray player) will be on sale come November 26 for $149 for those who voted.

Here's the link:

Similar promo was offered last year and the xbox 360 was eventually voted with a price of $100 on "black friday" after thanksgiving. You have to be glued to your pc to be able to get the item & get a chance to buy it.

pchin · « **Reply #131 on:** Nov 17, 2007 at 08:28 PM »

Alright Jun, completed my vote. I went for PS3 & the Samsung BD-P1400. Fingers crossed.

I have set an alarm & US time zone to keep track of the vote result day & deal.

dmaximus · « **Reply #132 on:** Nov 19, 2007 at 02:28 PM »

Black Friday is near na....just a few more days.

Let the "shopping spree" begins!

dmaximus · « **Reply #134 on:** Nov 21, 2007 at 07:12 PM »

what do you think will suit best with a sammy r81? the a2 or a3?

pchin · « **Reply #135 on:** Nov 22, 2007 at 11:50 AM »

If your Sammy R81 native resolution is only 720p then either model A2 or A3 is fine as both have similar features. If price is a concern, then you may want to consider the cheaper A2. Look out for Black Friday offer!

thank you pchin. you are my guru. hehe. my cousin told me that wallmart will sell the a2 for $100 kasi. pero cguro i'll go for the a3. newbie palang ako sa hobby na to and i didnt expect that its going to be this addicting.

pchin · « **Reply #137 on:** Nov 22, 2007 at 12:25 PM »

That's a good $100 for A2. I also heard in certain shops selling the A3 for $100.

Good luck to your bargain hunting!

Congrat Mr. Hankey for getting a nice deal & also welcome aboard to the RED pill family.

Thanks, Paul! It's now official, since the balikbayan box arrived this week, and I picked up my player yesterday.

My first three titles: 300, Transformers, and Return to House on Haunted Hill.
