Default HD-D3 for $79 at Costco starting tomorrow

I work at Costco and we received a wire saying the HD-D3 will be dropping $50 to $79 tomorrow. Still with 300 and Bourne in the box along with a HDMI. I have to say that is a great deal if you want to get a HD player for shits and giggles.


I don't know if the 5 Free will be active anymore with HD DVD's demise.....

Was there a D3? Or did you mean the A3?

That's actually a decent price for an upconverter. Might get one for parents, but I'd actually like to find the guy who got the P1200 gor $93...that's an amazing deal for a reon upconverter that can play most blu-rays.

Several people were able to find the BD-1200 for $93... Have you visited any Sears in your area to see if they have any left?...

Just picked up one this afternoon so now my 360 Add-On is now my backup. Wow! All I've got to say is too bad HD-DVD lost out, my new A3 is a FAR better SD DVD upscaler than my PS3... sharper image, less artifacting... very impressive!

I may just pony up for an A30 if I can find a good price.

Yeah, I already have an A-35, but my upstairs TV does not even have an upconverting DVD player so maybe I should get this. $79 for a very nice upconverting player plus I can get a few bucks for the discs is worth it.

Fortune shines, we needed a new dvd player for downstairs and picked up one of these. It was only 10.00 more than the standard dvd player and go 2 Bourne movies. It'll be my first and last HD-DVD player, but it'll do a good job of unconverting.

Any word if the 5 movie promotion is still good? This looks like a steal for an A3 (especially w/ 5 movie promo!)
