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...?

yeah, because the panasonic blu-ray player does 1080p, which the consumers will hear about before than any other feature, and this dvd player doesn't.

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.

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?!?

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.

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

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.
