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 released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
