Looking for a cheap HD-DVD Player

Where is the best place to buy a cheap HD-DVD Player? I picked up some cheap HD/DVD combos and wanted to watch the HD side without having to rebuy it in Blu-ray.

You can find it on ebbbbbbaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Or Craigslist.

Typically an A2 or A3 (1080i) will go for around $50 and a A20/A30 (1080p) about $80-$100.

In the past 6 months I picked up a extra A3 for $25 and A2 for $35 on our local Craigslists and a A30 for $75 from Amazon.com's Marketplace.

You could probably even get the Xbox 360 HD DVD addon for < $20; provided you, uh... have an Xbox 360.

obviously. i was hoping to avoid the whole e-bay/craigslist thing. people cant be trusted. i have had one too many bad experience getting broken or used (when stated as brand new) products. i stopped buying anything off those kinda sites years ago.

Re: Looking for a cheap HD-DVD Player

I just sold my A2 and 20 movies (all $3.50 ones I got on Amazon) for around $60 on eBay. Wish I'd done better... but ah well. The movies were crap and comparable to rentals and my A-30 is a significantly better HD DVD player.
