Toshiba HD-A3 HD DVD player showing another big sale for HD DVD supportAfter Warner announced its decision just before CES 2008 to go with the Blu-ray disc format exclusively the camp over at HD DVD had to take a step back and rethink their plan. They ended up canceling a press conference and then rumors flew about others heading to HD DVD as well.

It appears now that HD DVD is still coming out fighting, whether it be a strong and somewhat desperate effort to try and gain more HD DVD supporters or just taking the opportunity to unload as much inventory as possible, if you’re interested in HD DVD here is your chance. The big sale might be for both reasons but today Amazon is showing an impressive deal on the Toshiba HD-A3 HD DVD player.

When you click to see the price on the Amazon site you’ll notice the player has been again dropped down to $129.99, comes with free shipping and after you purchase you get a mail-in rebate for 5 free HD DVD discs. The Blu-ray crew isn’t just sitting back and enjoying the show either. You can check out half off of Blu-ray discs at Amazon as well.

    Oops ! Disregard earlier post. Just checked at Amazon (8:00 am CST
    1/18/08) and it appears both 50% off promotions are over.

    regardless of a sale, if hd-dvd is dead in a year from now, seems like a pretty huge waste of money.
