I had an A35 and returned it when the whole WB thing went down. I'd love to pick up another, but I doubt I would spend more than $125 - $150 for an extra player like that. It was a great player though, it would be insane to pick up that high-end a player for that much.

Yep, I'm eagerly awaiting disc sales. As much as it sucks to be on the wrong side of this, if I can get some great titles for amazing prices, it makes it a tad easier.

Well I just picked up an A3 from Circuit City for about $50 bucks after tax, coupons, and gift cards. I'm not going to open it up right away just in case it goes down in price again.

Waiting for a $50 player and $5 discs. Blu-ray is still a long way off from my price point, so I'm gonna scoop up some clearance HD-DVD stuff if the prices come low enough. I won't build a huge collection, just a nice upconverting player, and a few titles here and there.

There are still a few discs I would like to pick up, I need me that Heroes Season 1, and a few other discs too.
Come on fire sale, I am ready.

I might buy an A-35 on amazon for $220. That would give me 30-days to pricematch their lowest price, hopefully getting close to $150. I wonder what sort of supply amazon has of the players.

I have to wonder, since the actual number of HD DVDs sold is up for debate, that current HD DVD users will have more than enough titles to go around.

Yeah, I may take a gamble on a backup player from amazon on the day the rebate expires. That way I get the movies (though the selection leaves something to be desired), and I'm covered in the event there are further price drops on it during Toshiba's "Get Outta Dodge!" promotion.

I don't know how reliable this site is but most of their HD-DVD's are $12.99. $12.99 is still too high for a fire sale...

I saw signage at Frys tonight that said CLEARANCE MOVIES - WHILE SUPPLIES LAST on small red signs in front of the HD DVDs. No change in prices though.
