Any place with "new" XA1's left?

[Blacklac]

I can only find them on Ebay (used) and Amazon marketplace, for like $400. Any place to get them new still, for a reasonable price?

Seen this the other day, says they have one unit but it's refurbished. Not sure if this is any help, but...

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a new one, and I sure wouldn't pay $400 for one - even though I paid $700 for mine a few weeks after launch in May '06, and sold it for $175 right before Wal-Mart's pre Black Friday sale. There's a bunch of refurb's coming up in eBay in the next day or so that seem to go for around $50 + $20 for shipping. I have a bid in on one for a backup player. They lack alot of features (only 1080i & HDMI 1.1) and they're slow, but they're rock solid - I had less playback issues in a year & a half with mine than I did with 3 months of my A35 (but zero issues in 2 months of my refurb XA2).

Thanks for the helps guys!

I don't mind a refurb, but I would prefer if it was a refurb it was from a reputable dealer. A warranty would be nice too. I'm a little leary of the ebay refurbs, however I am watching a couple of those auctions too.

Really, I just want an XA1 because of how they look. I already own an A2 and an A35. So this would replace the A2.

If anyone has anymore tips/deals, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

They are still available in small quantities at FYE stores. I picked on up 2 weeks ago, tagged at $299.99 but rang at $99.99.

They never carried any players at my local FYE.
