Would you kill me? - Blu-ray Forum

Ok, i'm on vacation in Branson right now, and I went to the Discovery store that is going out of business. They were selling everything in the store, including shelves, tables...ect. They had the Toshita HDA1 playing Atlas. I asked the worker if it was on for sale too, and she said for 150$ it's mine. Should I get it? I really want those Universal titles in HD and I don't want to wait. And it's in perfect condition, and comes with a Monster HDMI cord. I know this is somthing that I never thought I would consider, but that price is hard to beat. I'm sure I would considered for excution if I did this.

They also had the Atlas BD box set for 70$, is that a good deal?

And Toshita is not a typo.

Aaron · 07-05-2007, 03:51 AM

Ah! I'm so confused. I can get a new one on Amazon for 500, or a used for 300 (No way in hell i'm going to). 150$ is a pretty good price for one, isn't it? If anything I might just buy it to sell.

kjacobs03 · 07-05-2007, 03:53 AM

I say go for it to resell. You can make $50 and buy two BD movies.

Dadds · 07-05-2007, 03:56 AM

I would buy it because of the price. But remember you will feel like a cheap *****.

Pretty fun. Lot's to do! But I really miss that PS3, lol.

$150 for an A1 is not all that great if you just want to sell for profit.

Remember the A2 is only $300 retail now much less 'street', and you would have a used gen1 machine... $150 is probably as much as I would consider that to be worth.

Plus, you would be damning someone to HD DVD hell ... imagine the karma hit

Sylin · 07-05-2007, 04:22 AM

Why not offer her $75? Tell her HD-DVD lost the format war so no one else will want it.

thebluemax · 07-05-2007, 04:31 AM

Don't waste your money, Universal is coming-besides what Universal title is so hot? Just buy the SD version if you must.

Patience, grasshopper. Do not be impulsive.

Now that I've read through this, I've made up my mind.

Good thing I came here before I made a bad decision.

TJandBLU-RAY · 07-05-2007, 05:47 AM

Ah, just buy it. Then you too can watch ARMY OF DARKNESS. Or other cool movies.

GasCat · 07-05-2007, 05:54 AM

Well, if "The Secret" were on HD-DVD I would snatch it up in a heartbeat!

blitz6speed · 07-05-2007, 07:08 AM

Ive seen A1's for 99 bux on craigslist. A2 is sold for 200 shipped new in box from toshiba resellers on ebay all the time. 150 is a rip.

That's what I'd do. Low ball her... see what happens. Or wait another two months and get a brand new one for $150!!!

The Don · 07-05-2007, 06:50 PM
