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

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • AMD 9070XT

      By cooky560 · Posted

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Windows Live Mail : If someone was malicious

      Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.
