The A3 comes with two movies in the box anyway, I think, and you get 5 by mail with any player. So really this "deal" is a full-price player with five free movies which must be chosen from WM's limited stock.]]>Dec 7th 2007 8:51AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/I don't think supplying people with a library of movies at this price point,is a positive move.
IMO it wont move the tens of thousands of players that HD DVD needs too at this point in time, and I would think the people who buys these wont be back in the movie buying market for a very long time, a double negative IMO.
The result HD DVD achieved at the $99 was enormous, that is what they need too re create, urgently.
Forget the massive movie giveaways, reduce the player prices, YESTERDAY!]]>Dec 6th 2007 5:01PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/
Also, the main must see title out now for these players is planet earth. That isn't included in any of these give aways.]]>Dec 6th 2007 5:31PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/Dec 7th 2007 8:38AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/

They need to lower this puppy to $100 again and just do Toshiba Perfect Offer movies.. + 2 in the box.. you can't beat it. I think for A3 $149 would be excellent mid price. ]]>Dec 6th 2007 5:48PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/
Forget mail in all together.

Put 2 decent movies in the box (check), and sell the sucker for 100 bucks.


Or, put planet earth in the box and sell it for 150 bucks. You wanna move some HD content? Show the people planet earth.]]>Dec 6th 2007 5:56PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/
hehe.

I need to get a receiver before I bother with a standalone player.

As such, I am fairly not interested in any free-movie pitch, and I doubt anyone is going to let me have ten (or even five) free movies of my choice in a completely open catalog of titles available on the given format.]]>Dec 6th 2007 6:39PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/

If I don't get the ones I checked, I'll switch sides. I'd rather have them late than not get the ones *I* want.]]>Dec 6th 2007 6:50PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/Dec 6th 2007 7:49PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/Dec 6th 2007 9:01PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/

Why, yes, I *am* sick of these moronic trolls.

But if you're open to buying online, u can get the A30 plus 10 movies for cheaper on amazon.. or the A3 which is listed here for $225 plus 10 free movies!]]>Dec 7th 2007 12:10AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/Dec 7th 2007 12:30AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/
I remember waiting for Laserdisc players to get cheap, and when I finally bought, DVD was around the corner.

I bought an HD-A2 _last_ December for $499 with only the 5 so-so movies by mail. But I don't mind the price drop because I've been watching movies for a year. If you wait, you don't have.]]>Dec 7th 2007 1:54AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/Dec 7th 2007 8:16AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/
I agree with other posters, it needs to be cheaper with less free movies. Do it at stores that matter with the Neilsens as well.]]>Dec 7th 2007 8:35AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/Dec 7th 2007 8:38AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/

Yeah yeah, HD-DVD is a dead format, blu-ray has won... oh wait...

And give out HD-DVD players for christmas....Seriously it's a better deal than buying them one at a time.]]>Dec 7th 2007 10:28AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/
Which is why they have these deals. You can't just give an HD DVD disc -- you have to provide the player, too. And the player plus a mail-in offer isn't to great on Christmas morning, either. But the player and 5 discs....]]>Dec 7th 2007 10:55AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/06/toshiba-hd-a3-with-12-free-movies-available-at-wal-mart-secret/
