Default A-30s for $79 shipped; HD-A3s for $59 shipped

I saw the deal at fatwallet and bought an A-30 for myself. Unfortunately I'm just a lurker here and found out after registering that I can't make posts with url's until I've made 10 posts. So hopefully someone will either find the deal at fatwallet and copy it here, or someone with lots of posts can PM me and I can PM them the text (including working links) that I typed up and they can just copy/post that in this thread.

It's with Warehousedeals who sell refurbished Amazon equipment.

Thanks for posting those

They also had some HD-A2s for $59 shipped but those sold out before I saw the thread. Hopefully this helps someone like me who was without a backup player. Considering the A30 supports 1080p24 and DTS it will become my main player instead of my x360 drive, not to mention it's superior dvd upscaling.

I'm still seeing 1 A30 left @ $79, Rishi's 2nd link. And 5 A3's @ $59 from his 1st link.

The A30 is an excellent backup player at that price.

I'm showing the A30 as out of stock now. They only had a handful to begin with so it's not really a surprise.

I just bought the A30 two weeks ago for $99...I requested a $20 refund! Hopefully they will honor it...they should...even their Warehouse direct merchandise has the 30 day price protection!

Once again I LOVE Amazon: I'm getting a $20 refund!

Hello from Amazon.com.

Thank you for contacting us to take advantage of our Post-Order Price Guarantee. I've confirmed that we recently offered a greater discount on "Toshiba HD-A30 1080p HD DVD Player" than at the time you placed your order.

Since your purchase shipped within the past 30 days, I've requested a refund of $20.00 to the original payment method used for your order.

This amount reflects the difference between the price you were charged for the item and the lowest recent price offered by Amazon.com, $79.00. This refund should be processed in the next few days.

Just frickin' amazing

Yeah I'm hoping the A30 comes with 300/Bourne Supremacy but I'm not holding my breath. I already have Bourne anyway.
