The Great HD-DVD Player clear out begins?

[jnm422]

Just got an e-mail from tigerdirect.com announcing a 'Just-in' deal for a Toshiba HD DVD player with 7 free movies for $129.

Sounds like a fire sale to me!!

[Weez_Dawg]

Wow, I might just pick one up as a collectors item.

Feels like im sinning for clicking on it

I just laughed. I couldn't believe it. Retailers are now trying to get rid of these things. I've even spoken to some people who aren't up to the whole blu vs. hd dvd thing and they have said HD DVD is dead. Even some guy at Blockbuster was like HD DVD is dead!! Said they were expanding their blu section!!

I wonder if they'll sell at that price. These are cheaper than the returned ones are selling for at my local Best Buy.

Why doesn't someone with a TigerDirect account write a "review" stating limited studio support because of Warner going Blu-ray exclusive. I did this at the Sears web site and they published it.

Just got an email from TigerDirect.com, where they have slashed the price of the Toshiba A3 from $299 to $129. Oddly, it's advertised on the site at $149, but you'll see the lower price if you add it to your cart I guess:

Is this the start of the great clearing out of inventory of HD-DUD players, just a week after the Warner annoucement? I hope it is. The sooner that HD-DUD is nothing but a bad memory, the better.

EDIT: Damn! Didn't see that I was beaten to it! Good work jnm422

Why, who would want to buy that piece of crap... It's their 1080i player, what a waste.....

if you wanted one for a collectors item, try ebay....

What is more telling isn't the $129 sale price, it is the $149 regular price.

Looks like a certain satellite dish dealer lowered player prices today too (compared present site to the Google cache):
HD-A3: went from $199.99 to $149.99
HD-A30: went from $349.98 to $199.98
HD-A35: went from $449.98 to 299.98

I just took a look at Crutchfield's site.

They have great service, selection, and delivery but usually list things at full MSRP much longer than most retailers.

There are only 3 DUD players now and here are their new list/MSRP prices:

• Toshiba HD-A3 : $149.99 / $299.99
• Toshiba HD-A30 : $199.99 / $399.99
• Toshiba HD-A35 : $299.99 / $449.99

I wonder if the "extra" discounts are coming from Toshiba because they've told all retailers to dump them? Or are the retailers doing this themselves?

[Papi4baby]

By the time, the 5 in mail are suppose to be at your house, all HDDVD will be out of print

[buckshot]

ooooh. i need to build a retaining wall. wonder if they hold back dirt better than they play movies

Got the same e-mail. If Tosh like the consumers so much why don't they incinerate those playes ad throw the white flag?! They are getting the taste of "The End"
