spenser.d Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Ah, Black Friday. Doesn't surprise me they'd have a deal like that, then. That is a pretty great deal, I must say. -Spenser Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/597899-this-friday-toshiba-hd-dvd-player-9887/#findComment-588961108 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayepecks Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Definitely buying one now. As I said, sub-$100 would be a sweet spot. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/597899-this-friday-toshiba-hd-dvd-player-9887/#findComment-588961113 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNay Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I'm sure they'll be sold out fast, lol I'd rather spend the extra $80 than wait in a 2 hr line up for it, unless I bought many other things there, which i'm sure is the motive ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/597899-this-friday-toshiba-hd-dvd-player-9887/#findComment-588961124 Share on other sites More sharing options...

P!P Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I must say, this is one of the few rumors that came true. This has been rumored on Black Friday forums for a couple days and of course no one believed it. The rumor has said there would be 5 per store. So if the first part of the rumor became true... the second part might be. 5 isn't a lot. You'll need to get there early. However, if you don't get this, head over to Sears, pay $100 more and get Bourne and 300 and an updated model. Not a bad deal. I must say... where are the Blu-Ray deals...?

You do realize the majority of the market could care less when the price difference is $300-$400, right? And I think it might actually be THIS friday, like it says. The site gives no indication of it being for Black Friday. -Spenser Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/597899-this-friday-toshiba-hd-dvd-player-9887/#findComment-588961148 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, like that makes ANY DIFFERENCE in quality between 1080i and 1080p. The difference in quality = ZERO! The difference in price is ..um..wait.. um $400?!?

The difference in price is ..um..wait.. um $400?!? you actually serious? i think i asked you this before, pretty sure i did. i like how you're trying to prove it really hard that 1080p and 1080i are not different whatsoever. if you were right, 1080p wouldn't exist, it wouldn't be marketed nor would it be this long before most of the new tvs that are coming out are supporting it.

ctebah Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 this would be a great deal but I already own the 360 hddvd drive and am completely satisfied with the quality. nothing, and I mean nothing beats watching Life in the Undergrowth on the 50" sammy with sir David Attenborough narrating.

Ji@nBing Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 (edited) Like I said in the front page comments, I don't really even watch movies or TV, and I would easily pick one up at this price just for the hell of it. That price is just nuts. Edit: Does this bad boy qualify for the 5 free HD-DVD offer? If so... :o Edited November 1, 2007 by Ji@nBing Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/597899-this-friday-toshiba-hd-dvd-player-9887/#findComment-588961156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
