Wedding planning, as much as I'm pro-HDDVD, I am still without movies or a player. Such a thing may have to end up on the registry though!

WalMart mini-Black-Friday sale. Wanted two or three A2's, but was limited to one per customer. Snagged one. 40 were reportedly available. 25-30 of those were standing in line to be paid for at 8:05. Pallet still had five unclaimed sitting on it at 8:10. Don't know if there were more in the back or not.

Would have bought HD DVDs as well for $15 a shot, but sales staff said none of those were shipped to this particular store.

Got the HDDVD player and picked up the ACER laptop for my son's christmas. I'll probally get him a wireless notebook mouse and have him open that first, then a laptop bag and finally he'll open the laptop.
A quick question though.
Between DISHHD and PS3, i am out of available HDMI ports on my tv. Will component out work fine with this toshiba HD-A2 and still provide 1080I and still upconvert sddvd?

Wow! That's a good idea! I should've bought one for my PC too! At such price that would make sense!!!

 

[jcrandall]

Damn, I could have bought 20 at 10am at my Walmart - they were on a pallet in the main aisle and nobody buying them. i only took one and two of the $15 movies.

standard-size 5" I assume. At least that's what my HD-A1 has.

thats a good question I was reading manual online and some one correct me I think we must use HDMI for upconversion stuf and not componet.

Well, I might have to switch DISHHD to component but I'd rather not because the Picture Quality is already bad enough.

Get an HDMI switchbox and use HDMI for all three devices.
