Wal-Mart may have been the first to tempt HD-fence-sitters with a $100 HD-A2 player (however limited) [$98.87 to be exact only this friday], but it looks like it's not the only one, with Best Buy now also listing the very same player for the impulse buy-inducing price of $99.99. Of course, it's sold out online, so you may be better off trying your luck at your local store.

Note: yes, Toshiba still gives you 5 free HD DVD movies with any HD DVD player you buy, including the A2 (FYI: max resolution of this player is 1080i, not 1080p).

Nice - if they can stay at this price hd-dvd can probably do better than blu-ray this holiday season. (which might encourage Warner Bros. to stop being a fence sitter?)

And I JUST got the 360 version. Oh well, I'm happy with it, and it came with 6 free movies and Heroes Season 1. Plus, 1080P.

Same here. Only complain about the add on is when i hit open on the control (that came with the add on) it opens the 360 tray and not the add on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . If anyone knows how to change it message me with the instructions or link.

Thank in advance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

screw the add on drive... I'd take a stand-alone unit any day of the week.

this is too good of a deal NOT to pass up, At $100 you can buy it and still be a fence sitter that rents HD-DVDs in the mean time

I just picked up a 30GB Zune for $89 earlier this week too... Another deal that was too good to pass up, though I'll probably use it as gift

... maybe

It's in limited quantiles and not available in all stores. Good luck getting one. Be sure to post here if you do manage to get one. What a great steal.

wow!! i wonder if amazon will jump on this bandwagon too. i bought my add on drive for $180 shipped from amazon with king kong in the retail box, 2 additional free movies in the shipping box plus the 5 free movie rebate, but i am considering which local walmart would be best to hit up for this deal tomorrow. i am positive my wife will not be able to distinguish the lower resolution and i get 5 more free movies from the new rebate batch.

very tempted to jump on this price...

Hot.... DAMN! Lucky Americans

This is very tempting to me. I've been thinking lately of getting a HD-DVD player, but wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money. At $100, I don't think i'll be able to pass it up.

I got a Zune when it was $99 (refurb). I'm quite impressed with it. If there was a chance in hell of me scoring a $99 HDDVD player tomorrow I would consider taking the day off, but I'd bet this is just a marketing ploy.

In stock online and in stores for $99.99 in Canada (And Best Buy.ca). Wife says I don't need one......bitch. lol

Good luck in Richmond getting one from Best Buy. Called 4 stores and one said they had one, but when I got there they said it must be the display, I would have bought it, but no remote. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I've been sitting on the fence up till now, but since the low price, I'll buy the player and maybe a few movies, but I'm still holding off on buying a lot of movies. Honestly I hope it makes a huge push for HD-DVD camp and maybe even seals the deal. I really don't care who wins just as long as one does and fast, but would rather see HD-DVD win and now I don't mind throwing some money their way since they are trying to make it affordable.

And all the BBs that I talked to told me the HD-A2 is being discontinued, so good luck finding them.

Hoping to catch the Walmart deal in the AM.
