I think I might just order it now, and then cancel it later if I have doubts.

I got an order in, and by the time I got home, the order was cancelled. I may call and complain, saying this was an instore order, and I was talked into waiting or preordering by an associate.
Oh well.
Oh well.

I ordered around an hour ago and mine's still alive and kickin', although I'm really not expecting it to last much longer.

Might be a really hot deal for those of you who are jumping in at the start. Hell, I am almost tempted at that price.

In fact, between here and AVS, yours is the only one I have seen get canceled.

I wonder if these will sell fast when first released. If not, I'll wait for a cnet review before I think about taking the plunge.
I know what will happen. I'll walk into Best Buy and see one on the shelf and talk myself into getting it without reading anything.

Threadcrap removed.
Incidentally, referring to the post I just removed, Samsung has since announced that they're not releasing a universal player, at least not anytime soon.

Unfortunately I heard on another forum that these orders are beginning to get cancelled.
I pre-ordered the Toshiba HD-XA1 from Crutchfield. (Free shipping + a $50 off promo code)

Mine was cancelled, but they sent a $50 digital coupon in its place.
