Are there any Canadians here who have found a great deal on HD DVD players yet? Places like Best Buy and Futureshop are selling them for $699 CAD, but won't budge on that price at all (at least, here in Calgary).

Any other suggestions?

Well, with the dollar as high as it is, you would probably be better off ordering it from the States.

This is just the thread I was looking for, hopefully someone will come across something, because it seems like $699 is the only option so far...and I can't afford that kind of cash right now...but am frankly dying to get my hands on one of these players. Probably ordering from the US would be a good option, but if you get dinged at customs, could end up about the same... anyone see anything better anywhere!?

also, can't find the combo discs for 16 blocks or Kiss Kiss Bang Bang anywhere...did Warner not release them in Canada or do the stores near me just suck?

Future Shop's Canada Day sale on now has the Toshiba HD-A1 for $650.99, so you save $49.00. Not the best deal ever, but better than nothing. On until july 6.

That's not bad, but it's still priced around $100 more than it should be.

they exist here, you just have to look a bit harder I guess. I bought the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang disc, and am tempted to pick up 16 Blocks, but I think I'll wait until I have an HD DVD Player.

Where'd you get Kiss Kiss? Even some of my more reliable stores haven't stocked it.

HMV (I'm in Calgary). Most of the HMV stores aren't carrying HD DVD and Blu-Ray titles, but they can ALL order them and it'll take less than 2 weeks to arrive (even if they tell you 4 - 6 weeks). I think their price is $39.99 CAD, but IMHO, it's one of those rare movies that's worth the high price point.

edit: looks like you're in Toronto. Check the HMV superstore. I'm almost positive they would have it in stock.

futureshop now has them for $595 CAD. Tempting...
