I went to the Wal-mart in Arlington.... They had six (6) HD-A2s.... priced at $299....

But for $100, the HD-A2 is a pretty darn good deal. First piece of paper I pulled out were instructions suggesting I do an immediate firmware update. I actually jury-rigged an internet connection to download the firmware. Not sure I was doing it right, the composite video feed fine print instructions were mostly unreadable. I must have done something right because it finished the "update attempt" and I was able to play the "Transformers" IME/PIP feature. I guess some people might think the interactivity was cool but I think I'll stick to watching the movie "straight up".

I have to admit the HD-A2 display of "Transformers" was very good; the surround mix was very good but the LFE was still not at "earthquake levels" when I was expecting it to be (I think this is a common complaint with a lot of "Transformers" owners). I'm stuck with using the optical output from this player so all I'm getting is DDplus converted to DTS.

The Manufacture date is August 2007 which seems "uncomfortably recent" for those who think this is a close-out sale....
