Still waiting to jump into the high def disc game? Or just wanted another weaker, cheaper player for the last-gen TV you phased out to your rumpus room? Well, whatever your reasons, some (not all!) Wal-Mart locations will be selling Toshiba HD-A2s for $100 -- <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/27/toshiba-a2-hd-dvd-player-for-200-at-circuit-city/">down from $200</a> -- this Friday. Ridiculous, we know. Blu-ray gonna fight back? We hope so, we'd really like to get our hands on one for under $300, and not just by using our hookup that sells gear out of his trunk, you know?<br /><br />[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">*</p><p><a href=http://holiday.ri-walmart.com/?section=secret>Read</a> | <a href="http://hdtv.engadget.com/2007/11/01/toshiba-hd-a2-hd-dvd-player-100-this-friday-wal-mart/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://hdtv.engadget.com/forward/1026960/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://hdtv.engadget.com/2007/11/01/toshiba-hd-a2-hd-dvd-player-100-this-friday-wal-mart/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p><p><a title="Sponsored By" href="http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=432220&cm_ven=360i&cm_cat=Media&cm_pla=engadget&cm_ite=rsslink" target="_blank">Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System</a> Packs the power to bring games to life!</p>

I bought it from Best Buy a few months ago. No complaints. I thought I got it for a steal at $199 but now with all these places trying to do it at $99 there's no reason not to buy one of these.

I picked one up too. Don't forget to send in for the 5 free HDDVDs. Not the best selection in the world, but hey, they're free. ;-)
